Before you build in Sidney
Sidney is on Farm Road 1689 in western Comanche County. It was settled as early as 1870, and before taking its present name it was called Jimmie’s Creek, for a nearby stream, and Round Mountain.
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 Sidney 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 Sidney homes
Homes and Yards in Sidney
William Yarbrough and a settler named Wright were early arrivals. In 1883 the community was named for Sidney Stapp, son of John Stapp, who became first postmaster when the post office opened in 1886.
On rolling land with sandy, loamy ground, a detached cover over a fire pit or grill area, linked to the house by a gravel path, makes a simple outdoor gathering place.
Comanche County’s rolling land drains to the North and South Leon rivers, which flow into the Brazos River system. Mixed timber of cedars, oaks, mesquites, and pecans grows on the light sand and loamy soils of the Cross Timbers.
Sidney’s first school opened in 1877 with a teacher named Cox, and by 1883 Tom Davis ran a store there. In 1940 the community had four stores, three churches, a consolidated school, and 200 residents. The population then held steady at 196, with three stores reported in 1980, and it was still listed at 196 through 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. 1 of those reports was logged at Sidney itself. 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 Sidney, TX
How is a pool built in Sidney?
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 Sidney the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Sidney, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Sidney?
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 Sidney the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Sidney, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Sidney?
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 Sidney?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Sidney is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Sidney 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.
Sidney 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 Sidney and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Sidney 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.
