Completed outdoor living project by True Star Outdoor Solutions
Backyard Remodels · Celina, Texas

Celina outdoor living,
engineered around North Texas soil, drainage and weather.

Celina is the frontier. Light Farms and Mustang Lakes are building out fast, and new-construction lots mean builder-grade slabs waiting to become real backyards. That conversion, slab to finished outdoor room, is our specialty.

Top communities & HOAs

Built for Celina's best streets.

Light Farms Mustang Lakes Cambridge Crossing The Parks at Wilson Creek

We like working with HOAs. Architectural review exists to protect your neighborhood's value, and we prepare your drawings, materials list, and engineering to your association's standard so your packet is ready to pass the first time you submit it. If your community isn't listed, we serve all of Celina.

Permits, setbacks & approvals

The Celina permit manual.

Celina permits covered structures through its Development Services department; masterplan ARCs (Light Farms, Mustang Lakes) review alongside. New-community rules evolve, we verify current requirements per project.

Under 120 sq ft
Celina's code names patio covers directly: an accessory structure 120 square feet or smaller doesn't need a permit, larger or attached to the house does. One Celina-specific catch: unlike most cities we build in, Celina also requires a permit for plain patio and paver flatwork, no size exemption there. We pull it either way

Ground truth

What Celina is built on.

Dominant soils

Blackland Prairie: Houston Black and Heiden clays, freshly disturbed by mass grading in the new masterplans

Expansion behavior

New-construction lots are the most movement-prone years of a clay lot's life as fills settle and moisture equalizes

What it means for your build

We engineer for settlement on new lots: deeper attention to compaction, drainage, and footing depth in Light Farms and Mustang Lakes

Per USDA NRCS soil survey data · Houston Black official series description · full engineering detail in our clay & drainage guide
