Before you build in Comanche
Comanche is in the central part of Comanche County on U.S. highways 67 and 377. The town was laid out in 1858 on 240 acres along Indian Creek that John Duncan offered the county as a county seat site.
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 Comanche 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.

Outdoor living ideas for Comanche homes
Homes and Yards in Comanche
Ransom Tuggle laid out the townsite, and a settler named Nabors built the first house. Comanche replaced Cora as county seat in May 1859, a post office opened in 1860, and the Comanche Chief began publishing in 1873.
Homes near an old courthouse square suit a covered patio with columns and roof color matched to the house, set on footings sized for sandy loam.
Comanche County covers 944 square miles of rolling land between 650 and 1,700 feet. The north lies in the Western Cross Timbers with light sandy and loamy soils, while the south has the dark waxy soils of the Grand Prairie.
Water comes from the City of Comanche, which treats surface water.
The first courthouse was a picket house of split logs set upright in a ditch. Comanche incorporated in 1873, and by 1892 it had 2,500 residents, the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway, and a daily stage. The population reached 4,500 by 1915, when the town was a farm-market and transportation center.
In 1945 a cheese plant, pecan and peanut shelling plants, granaries, and wool and mohair firms led the economy. The town had 3,933 people and 108 businesses in 1970, and Procter Reservoir made a new water system possible. The population was 4,087 in 1990 and grew to 4,482 in 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 18 hail reports in Comanche County from 2016 to 2025, 18 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 4.25 inches. 3 of those reports were logged at Comanche itself, the largest 2.75 inches. The same records show 22 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 78 mph. 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 Comanche, TX
How is a pool built in Comanche?
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 Comanche the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Comanche, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Comanche?
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 Comanche the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Comanche, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Comanche?
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 Comanche?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Comanche is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Comanche 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.

Comanche sits on Western Cross Timbers ground in Comanche 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.
