Before you build in Voss
Voss is on Farm Road 503 in southwestern Coleman County. It started as the headquarters of the Leaday Ranch and took shape as a town beginning in 1904.
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 Voss 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 Voss homes
Homes and Yards in Voss
Voss was named for the superintendent of the Leaday Ranch, who petitioned for a post office. The community began to develop in 1904 around the ranch headquarters.
On a former ranch headquarters site or any wide country lot, a long porch-style cover across the back of the house gives shade and a sheltered view of open land.
Coleman County covers 1,280 square miles, and its peaks include Jim Ned Peak and Chandlers Peak in the north and the Santa Anna Mountains in the south. Temperatures range from a January low of 34° F to a July high of 96°.
Voss soon had three stores, two hotels, a blacksmith shop, a barber shop, a school, a gin, and a post office. In 1946 the community still had six businesses and 120 people. By 1980 the population had fallen to twenty, though the post office still operated, and the population was still twenty through 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 83 hail reports in Coleman County from 2016 to 2025, 77 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 4.5 inches. 1 of those reports was logged at Voss itself. The same records show 23 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 96 mph, and 4 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 Voss, TX
How is a pool built in Voss?
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 Voss the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Voss, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Voss?
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 Voss the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Voss, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Voss?
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 Voss?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Voss is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Voss 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.
Voss 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 Voss and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Voss sits on Rolling Plains clay ground in Coleman 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.
