Before you build in Anson
Anson, the county seat of Jones County, is at the intersection of U.S. highways 83/277 and 180 in the center of the county. The Bullard oilfield opened one mile southwest of town in 1950.
That ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built here. Here is what it does to a patio.
We file the permit with the city or county office that covers Anson and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.
Longhorn has been building since 1984, and every project starts with a free design visit and a firm price.

Homes and Yards in Anson
The town began at Fort Phantom Hill and moved when John Merchant expected the Texas and Pacific Railway to pass the new site. The railroad never came, and the town, first called Jones City, was renamed Anson by 1882.
Around a courthouse town’s older homes, a cedar or painted wood pergola usually looks more fitting than bright metal, and it can be stained to match existing trim.
Jones County covers 937 square miles of rolling plains at elevations from 1,600 to 1,900 feet above sea level. Between 51 and 60 percent of the land is considered prime farmland.
Water comes from the City of Anson, which treats surface water.
Jones City was declared county seat on July 17, 1881, and the town was named for Anson Jones, last president of the Republic of Texas. A courthouse designed by Elmer Withers was completed in 1910 at a cost of $100,000. In 1926 Phillips Petroleum struck oil southwest of Anson, leading to exploration across the county.
The Cowboys' Christmas Ball, first held in December 1885 by M. G. Rhoads at his Star Hotel, continues as a traditional event. In 1980 Anson produced concrete, magnetic signs, and polished rock, and its 2,831 residents had a bank, 100 businesses, and the Western Observer newspaper. The population was 2,644 in 1990 and 2,556 in 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 93 hail reports in Jones County from 2016 to 2025, 83 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 4 inches. 22 of those reports were logged at Anson itself, the largest 2.75 inches. The same records show 46 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 96 mph, and 9 tornadoes. That is why a patio cover’s roof panels, fasteners and posts here are chosen for hail and wind, not only for shade.
What each outdoor project needs in Anson, TX
How is a pool built in Anson?
Rolling Plains clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and a pool shell is a rigid object sitting in it. The shell, its bond beam and the deck are designed for that movement, and the deck is graded so rain runs away from the pool and the house. In Anson the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Anson, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Anson?
On Rolling Plains clay a patio cover’s footings carry the whole structure, and the top of the clay is the part that moves most. Footings are taken below that movement and the slab is graded away from the house, so the roofline stays true as the ground wets and dries. In Anson the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Anson, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Anson?
A pergola on Rolling Plains clay stays square only if its posts sit below the ground that moves. The footings go deeper than the seasonal swell and shrink, and the grade around each post sheds water instead of holding it. More on pergolas.
Can a sunroom or screened enclosure be added in Anson?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Anson is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Anson and sits on footings designed for the ground under it. We match the roofline and the exterior to the house so it reads as part of it. More on sunrooms and patio enclosures.
Anson outdoor living questions
Almost always, for pools and for anything attached to the house, including patio covers, sunrooms and enclosures. Longhorn files the permit with the city or county office that covers Anson and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Anson sits on Rolling Plains clay ground in Jones County. The ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built, so we plan the drainage and the footings for it at the first visit rather than after something moves.
