Before you build in Campbell
Campbell is a mile north of Interstate Highway 30 and six miles east of Greenville in eastern Hunt County. In the mid-1980s the town reincorporated to take in part of the surrounding rural area.
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 Campbell and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.

Outdoor living ideas for Campbell homes
Homes and Yards in Campbell
Settlement began in the fall of 1880, when the East Line and Red River Railroad reached the site. The post office was first named Oliverea, but the town was soon called Campbell, perhaps for Thomas M. Campbell, later governor of Texas.
A small-town home with open yard space can carry a gable-roof patio cover tied into the existing roofline, adding shade without crowding the lawn.
Elevation in Hunt County ranges from 450 feet in the southeast to 700 feet in the northwest, and the stream valleys are shallow. Temperatures range from an average winter minimum of 33° F in January to an average summer maximum of 93° in July.
Water comes from Campbell WSC, a water supply corporation, which draws on groundwater.
Campbell became a shipping center for area farmers and by 1900 had 508 residents, twelve businesses, and Henry College, founded in 1892. The town incorporated in 1912. By 1925 it had a telephone exchange, a bank, a weekly newspaper, twenty commercial establishments, and an estimated 1,000 people.
The population fell to 416 by 1930 and reached a low of 204 in 1970, while the number of businesses kept declining, and by 1936 the bank had closed. After the reincorporation the population jumped to 549. It was 683 in 1990 and 734 in 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 73 hail reports in Hunt County from 2016 to 2025, 59 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 2.5 inches. 5 of those reports were logged at Campbell itself, the largest 1.5 inches. The same records show 32 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 85 mph, and 2 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 Campbell, TX
How is a pool built in Campbell?
Blackland Prairie clay swells through a wet spring and shrinks hard by August, and a pool shell is a rigid object sitting in ground that moves around it. Here that means the shell, the beam and the deck are engineered for that movement from the drawing stage, and the flatwork gets its control joints placed on purpose rather than wherever the pour ends. In Campbell the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Campbell, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Campbell?
Blackland Prairie clay lifts and drops with the season, so a patio cover’s footings are the whole job. Posts set in shallow pads move with the top of the soil and take the roofline with them; footings taken below the active zone, tied to a slab that drains away from the house, do not. In Campbell the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Campbell, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Campbell?
On Blackland Prairie clay a pergola’s posts are what decide whether it still stands square in five years. The clay moves most in the top few feet, so footings go deeper than the movement rather than resting in it, and the slab underneath gets its own drainage plan. More on pergolas.
Can a sunroom or screened enclosure be added in Campbell?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Campbell is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Campbell 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.
Campbell 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 Campbell and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Campbell sits on Blackland Prairie ground in Hunt 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.
