Your Hackberry Creek Contractor
Hackberry Creek is a guard-gated golf community in Las Colinas, in north Irving. The village design guidelines make brick the main exterior material and set detailed rules for outside changes. Tell us your home's age and what you want to update, from a kitchen or bath to trim paint or a fence.
The village has its own homeowners association and design guidelines, on top of the Las Colinas Association review. Exterior work needs approval before it starts. Interior work does not. If you are not sure which side of that line your project falls on, ask the HOA office before you plan it.

What Changes the Work in Hackberry Creek
Three things shape most jobs here. The rules: the Hackberry Creek HOA has its own design guidelines and architectural committee, and exterior work also goes to the Las Colinas Association. The gates: every contractor checks in with photo ID and works only during village construction hours. The lots: brick homes, many on the golf course, with private alleys and protected trees.

Each item ties a service to a Hackberry Creek rule or condition.
Golf Course Lot Work
Hedges near a golf course lot line have village height limits. Check the rules before planning landscaping near the course.
Oak and Shade Tree Trimming
Limb clearance rules differ for streets, sidewalks and corners, so check village and Las Colinas rules. Avoid oak pruning February through June.
Sod, Beds and Mulch
Front and side yards need sod outside the shrub beds. Front beds need steel, masonry or stone edging, and open mulch patches max out at 16 square feet.
Two Layers of Approval for Exterior Work
Hackberry Creek has its own homeowners association, separate from the Las Colinas Association, and its own Village Architectural Control Committee. The HOA's FAQ says exterior changes also need approval from the Las Colinas Architectural Control Committee before work begins.
The Las Colinas Association says its review can take one to six weeks. The 2021 Village Rules list a meeting schedule that no longer matches the association's calendar, so check the current dates before you set a start date for outside work.
- Fences: the village allows cedar or redwood on steel posts, but Las Colinas calls for cedar unless it approves a variance. No chain link, no clear stain.
- Decks: pressure-treated wood, redwood or composite. Wood decks are stained, not painted.
- Structures: arbors and shade structures seen from the street, golf course or lake need review. Visible storage buildings are not allowed.
How Contractors Get Through the Gates
Hackberry Creek's streets and alleys are private, and guards staff the gatehouses. Under the HOA access policy, a contractor gets in only with the owner's OK, either on the guest list or by phone. The guard checks photo ID and records the plate and address.
Village rules also set when crews can work, inside or outside the house: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes first, Monday to Thursday. Friday and Saturday run 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays and holidays run noon to 5 p.m.
- Crews enter at the gate closest to the job.
- Trucks park in your driveway or on the street next to your lot, never in the alley.
- A dumpster or portable toilet needs the Village Manager's OK first.
- Contractors must keep streets and alleys clear of mud and debris every day.
- Promotional contractor signs are not allowed. New construction has its own job-site sign rule.

Call (469) 340-2030Do I need HOA approval for a new fence in Hackberry Creek?
Yes. The village design guidelines need written approval for fences. Wood fences go on steel posts set in concrete, are stained an approved color, and sit at least 10 feet back from the front of the house. The village allows cedar or redwood, but the Las Colinas standard calls for cedar unless it approves a variance, so check both before you pick the wood. Metal fences must be black or near black.
Can you repair my fence without replacing the posts?
Often, yes. The guidelines let fences first built with wood posts, before a 2005 rule change, keep wood posts for repairs. If a whole side is repaired or replaced, or any part is moved, steel posts set in concrete are required. If you are not sure which case fits your fence, ask the HOA before you plan the repair.
How do I get your crew through the gate?
Put S&L Good Fellas on your permanent or temporary guest list in the GateKey system, or approve us by phone when we arrive. The guard checks photo ID and logs our plate and your address. If a job runs more than a day and your own cars need to park on the street, let the HOA office know.
Can I remove a large tree in my Hackberry Creek yard?
Maybe. The village design guidelines say a living tree 6 inches or more in diameter, measured 2 feet above the ground, cannot come down without committee approval unless it is within 10 feet of a building. The rule names living trees, so ask the HOA how it treats a dead or storm-split tree. Trimming limbs to clear walks and streets is a different job.
What changes for work on a golf course lot?
Village rules say work on a lot next to Hackberry Creek Country Club that affects the golf course must be coordinated with the club's management. Arbors and shade structures you can see from the course need committee review. Crews must also pick up any trash that blows onto club property.
Can you build an addition that matches my house?
Yes, we build home additions. In Hackberry Creek, an addition must use the same brick as the main house, or one the committee approves with the same colors and texture, plus the same mortar joints. Settle the brick with the committee before framing starts.
