Before you build in Cisco
Cisco is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 and Interstate Highway 20 in northwestern Eastland County. Limestone, coal, and iron ore found nearby once supported its economy alongside trade, ranching, and fruit farming.
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 Cisco 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 Cisco
Rev. C. G. Stevens founded the settlement as Red Gap in 1878 or 1879. In 1881 residents moved to the new rail crossing, and the town was later renamed for John A. Cisco, a New York financier.
Older houses often have settled foundations and uneven grades, so we check the slab and the attachment points before tying a new cover to the existing wall.
Battle Creek and Sandy Creek drain the northwest part of Eastland County, and soils across the county vary from sandy to loamy. The growing season averages 229 days.
Water comes from the City of Cisco, which treats surface water.
In 1893 a tornado hit Cisco, killing twenty-eight people and damaging or destroying most of its homes and businesses. During the oil boom of 1919 to 1921 the population grew rapidly, with some estimates as high as 15,000. Two days before Christmas of 1927, four men robbed the First National Bank in what became known as the Santa Claus Bank Robbery.
Cisco Junior College was enrolling around 1,000 students in the early 1980s. In 1980 Cisco had 4,517 people and 154 businesses, and residents applied to have the whole town named a historical district. The effort was inspired by the restoration of the Mobley Hotel, the first hotel owned by Conrad Hilton. In 1990 the population was 3,813.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 32 hail reports in Eastland County from 2016 to 2025, 31 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 3 inches. 7 of those reports were logged at Cisco itself, the largest 2 inches. The same records show 20 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 76 mph, and 3 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 Cisco, TX
How is a pool built in Cisco?
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 Cisco the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Cisco, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Cisco?
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 Cisco the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Cisco, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Cisco?
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 Cisco?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Cisco is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Cisco 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.
Cisco 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 Cisco and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Cisco sits on Western Cross Timbers ground in Eastland 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.
