A Westmoreland Heights Contractor for Old and New Homes
Westmoreland Heights is a small grid of streets in West Dallas, just west of Westmoreland Road. County appraisal records show two kinds of houses here. Many are one-story homes from the late 1940s, often close to 1,000 square feet. About half were built in 2000 or later, on lots between the older homes.
That mix shapes the work. An older house may need a full rehab, a new kitchen or bath, fresh paint, or an addition for more room. A newer house often needs its first fence, sod over bare dirt, or a deck out back. As a Westmoreland Heights contractor, we quote both kinds of jobs.
Our family-owned team works out of Irving and takes jobs on every street here. Text or call. We chat on the phone, take a look at the job, and send a free quote.

What Trinity Clay and Older Lots Change
The USDA soil survey maps Westmoreland Heights as a mix that includes Trinity clay, a deep, heavy soil formed from river sediment. Trinity soil has a high clay content. It swells when wet. In dry spells it shrinks, and cracks can open more than 20 inches deep. Ground conditions can vary by lot. The land is nearly flat and Trinity clay drains very slowly, so rain can sit in a low yard. That can affect fence posts, deck footings and new sod. The houses matter too: a late-1940s home may need repairs behind the walls, while a newer one may only need its first upgrades.

Dallas warns that even grass clippings and branches can clog storm drains. Ask what cleanup your tree or yard quote includes.
Flood Zones and Drainage in Westmoreland Heights
FEMA flood maps show most of Westmoreland Heights in Zone X, marked as an area with reduced flood risk due to a levee. Rain here drains to sumps. A sump is a low area behind the Trinity River levees where storm water collects before it is pumped or drained into the river. FEMA maps two in this area: the Frances Street Sump and the Westmoreland-Hampton Sump.
Reduced risk is not zero risk. The City of Dallas says flooding in March 2006 hit mostly the drainage areas behind the levees. A narrow strip on the north edge, near Bernal Drive and behind some lots on Bickers Street, is mapped as floodway, which is high risk. In that zone, Dallas requires a floodplain alteration permit for fences and for landscaping that changes the shape of the ground.
- Check your lot on FEMA's flood map before you plan a fence, shed or deck near the north edge.
- Fences and grade-changing landscaping in the floodway need a Dallas floodplain alteration permit.
- Dallas bans dumping debris in creeks or floodplains, so keep branches and yard waste out of them.

Call (469) 340-2030What kind of houses are in Westmoreland Heights?
Mostly two kinds. Dallas County appraisal records show many one-story houses built in the late 1940s, often close to 1,000 square feet. About half the homes were built in 2000 or later, and some of those have two stories. There are also empty lots between houses. We quote full rehabs for older houses and fences for newer homes.
Can you add space to a small 1940s house?
Often, yes. A room addition, a new closet or a more open layout can make a small house work better. We take a look at the house and the lot, then send a free quote.
Does the clay soil here affect a new fence or deck?
It can. The USDA maps this area as a mix of soils that includes Trinity clay, which swells when wet and cracks open when dry. Ground conditions can vary by lot. That movement can push fence posts and deck footings out of line over time. Text or call about a fence repair, a new fence or a deck, and we will take a look.
Do I need a city permit for a fence in Westmoreland Heights?
Dallas requires a fence permit for fences over 4 feet in a front yard or 6 feet elsewhere. Height limits also apply, so ask Dallas what your lot allows. For fence work in the floodway near Bernal Drive or behind Bickers Street, a floodplain alteration permit is also needed. Check your address on the FEMA map before planning the fence.
Do deed rules or an HOA affect my project here?
They might. Check your deed for rules that apply to your lot, and ask any neighborhood group on your street. Share any fence, paint or yard limits when you call.
What yard work makes sense for a newer home here?
A newer home may come with bare dirt, thin grass or no fence at all. We quote sod installation, mulch beds, fences and gates. Flat ground and clay can hold water, so check city rules before you change ground levels.
