Downtown Carrollton grew around its town square on Broadway and its railroad connections, which made Carrollton a shipping town.

Downtown has houses, townhomes and apartments close to the square and the station. Home age and past updates vary from house to house. One may need a new bath or kitchen counters, and the next may need fresh paint or a fence fix. We quote interior updates, painting, fences and yard work.

Why Work Near the Square Is Different
Downtown is a small area with a real mix: houses, townhomes and apartments close to the square and the DART station. Home age and past updates vary by house, and if you own a rental here, we also quote updates between tenants. Under all of it is Trinity clay, a heavy flood-plain soil that holds water after rain, then shrinks and cracks as it dries. That movement can affect fence lines, patios and yards, while North Texas heat and hail wear down paint and stain.

Fence Posts in Trinity Clay
This clay can crack an inch wide when dry and swell when wet, which can affect posts. Age, rot and how a fence was built matter too.
Yards That Drain Slowly
Rain soaks into this clay very slowly, so flat yards can hold puddles. Ask about sod, mulch and yard cleanup, and mention any standing water.
Flood-Plain Clay Under the Square
USDA soil maps put the square and the blocks around it on Trinity clay, mixed with ground covered by buildings and pavement. Trinity clay formed on river flood plains, and it is about 60 to 80 percent clay. Carrollton's historic survey also records a destructive flood in 1908.
USDA rates this soil's shrink and swell as very high. In a dry summer it can crack more than an inch wide and 20 inches deep. When the rain comes back, it swells shut and takes in water very slowly. That movement can affect fence posts, deck footings and patios, and flat yards can stay wet. Age, rot and how a fence or deck was built can also cause leaning.
- Fences: tell us which posts lean or which gates drag, and send photos if you can.
- Yards: mention standing water and share any drainage plans when you ask about sod or beds.
- Decks and pergolas: ask how the footings will handle ground that rises and drops with the seasons.

Still Have Questions?
Send a text or give us a call. We are happy to talk through your project.
Call (469) 340-2030Is my house near the square in a historic district?
Check before you change the outside. In 2003, Carrollton made nearby Carrollton Heights a historic overlay district with exterior style standards. The square and the blocks by the station are zoned Transit Center, which has its own Historic Square sub-district. Before an addition, a shed or a big exterior change, ask city planning staff which review and permits your project needs.
Why do fences near downtown lean?
The soil can be part of it. Trinity clay under downtown swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry, and shrinking and swelling clay can affect fence posts. Age, rot and how the fence was built can also cause leaning. We quote fence repair, gates and new fences. Tell us which posts lean or which gates drag, and send photos if you can.
How do I decide what to update in my house near the square?
It depends on what past owners already did, since home age and past updates vary from house to house. Good places to start are the bath (tile, shower, vanity), the kitchen counters and backsplash, worn trim and doors, and the paint on outside wood trim. We quote painting, fence repair, gates and interior updates. Tell us which parts of the job matter most to you.
I own a rental house near the DART station. Can you turn it over between tenants?
Yes. Rental rehabs fall under our general contracting work. A rental update near the station might include fresh paint, new bathroom tile, a vanity and a gate repair. Text us the address and what the last tenant left behind. We come look and send a free quote.
Why does my yard near the square stay wet after a storm?
Trinity clay is one of the slowest soils to take in water once it is wet, per USDA soil data, and downtown is flat. Rain sits on top instead of soaking in. Ask about sod, mulch and yard cleanup, mention the standing water, and share any drainage plans for the lot. A layer of mulch also helps the clay keep some moisture in summer, so it dries and cracks more slowly.
What kinds of trees grow on this old bottomland?
USDA lists elm, hackberry, oak and ash as the native trees on Trinity clay. Where trees like these have had decades to grow, they can spread over roofs, fences and driveways. We cut limbs back from the house, take down trees that are dead or in the way, grind the stumps, and clear storm damage after a bad blow.
