Before you build in Lueders
Lueders is on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River, State Highway 6, and Farm Road 1597, at the Shackelford county line in northeast Jones County. Several large limestone quarries operated in the area in 2004.
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 Lueders 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 Lueders
Lueders was named for Frederick Lueders, a Texas Revolution soldier whose land allotment included the townsite. Development began in 1899 with a colony sponsored by the Webb and Hill Land and Cattle Company, and railroad service followed in 1900.
Near a river with a record of overflows, we set slabs and footings with drainage in mind and keep outdoor kitchens on the higher part of the lot.
Jones County lies in the rolling plains vegetation area, with tall grasses and mesquite trees, and is drained by the Clear Fork of the Brazos River and its tributaries. Its growing season is 223 days.
Water comes from the City of Lueders, which treats surface water.
Early businesses included gins and stone quarries, and the population was 700 in 1915. Overflows of the Clear Fork damaged the Lueders City Park in 1932 and 1957 but did not harm the town. Lueders incorporated in 1940 with 625 residents. Nearby is the Baptist Double Mountain Encampment, established in 1922.
Lueders is a center for raisers of cattle, sheep, hogs, and horses and for farmers of cotton, wheat, and sorghums. The population was 365 in 1990 and 300 in 2000. In 2004 the town had a newly renovated school building and was starting a main-street restoration project.
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. 4 of those reports were logged at Lueders itself, the largest 1.75 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 Lueders, TX
How is a pool built in Lueders?
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 Lueders the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Lueders, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Lueders?
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 Lueders the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Lueders, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Lueders?
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 Lueders?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Lueders is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Lueders 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.
Lueders 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 Lueders and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Lueders 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.
