Before you build in Caddo
Caddo is at the junction of U.S. Highway 180, Farm Road 717, and Park Road 33 in east central Stephens County. It was established in the late 1870s on a Caddo Indian campsite.
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 Caddo 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.

On the hilly ground near Caddo, a patio may need a short retaining edge or stepped levels before a shade cover goes up.
Stephens County covers almost 922 square miles of broken, hilly plateau country between 1,000 and 1,600 feet. Rain averages 26.4 inches a year over a growing season of 222 days.
Caddo had 149 residents in 1900. Oil was discovered on the W.L. Carey farm near town in 1916 and then on the L.W. Wright property, finds that came before the Breckenridge boom of 1917. The Ranger oil boom raised Caddo’s population to 1,000 by 1920. The town had 600 residents in 1940, then declined, and in 1980, 1990, and 2000 its population was forty, with the post office still open.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 30 hail reports in Stephens County from 2016 to 2025, 28 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 2.75 inches. 1 of those reports was logged at Caddo itself. The same records show 18 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 75 mph, and 1 tornado. 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 Caddo, TX
How is a pool built in Caddo?
Western Cross Timbers ground is sandy to loamy soil over clay or rock, in rolling, wooded country. A pool dig may meet rock, and water runs along the layer below the sand, so excavation and drainage are priced and planned before the shell. In Caddo the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Caddo, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Caddo?
In the Western Cross Timbers a post hole can pass through sand into clay or rock. Patio cover footings are sized for what lies under the topsoil, and the slab is graded so water does not run toward the house. In Caddo the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Caddo, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Caddo?
On Western Cross Timbers ground a pergola’s posts need footings set into firm ground below the sandy topsoil, with the grade around each post shedding water so wooden posts stay dry at the base. More on pergolas.
Can a sunroom or screened enclosure be added in Caddo?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Caddo is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Caddo 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.

Caddo sits on Western Cross Timbers ground in Stephens 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.
