Before you build in Whitt
Whitt is at the intersection of Farm roads 2891 and 52, twenty miles northwest of Weatherford in northwestern Parker County. Its spot on the stage line between Weatherford and Jacksboro made it a retail and social center for area farmers.
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 Whitt and follow it through review, so the schedule doesn’t stall on paperwork.

Homes and Yards in Whitt
Settlement began in the early to mid-1870s, and the community was named in honor of a man named Whitt. Postal service began in 1877, and in the early 1880s the Methodist Conference chose Whitt for its district high school, Parker Institute.
A quiet rural setting suits a simple open pergola or a screened porch addition that brings the outdoors close without overpowering the house.
Parker County’s land is undulating to hilly, and 74 percent of the county was in farms or ranches in 1982. Elm, walnut, and pecan trees are common along its streams and valleys.
Water comes from Whitt WSC, a water supply corporation, which draws on groundwater.
By the mid-1880s Whitt had about 150 residents, three churches, a school, a weekly paper called the Whitt Moon and twenty businesses, and farmers used its two steam gristmills and cotton gin. The Half-Way House, nicknamed for its place midway on the stage line, served as a hotel and shipping point well into the twentieth century.
Bypassed by the railroads like other Parker County towns, Whitt began to decline in the early 1900s, and the Great Depression sped the process. The population was 500 in 1900 and ninety in 1950, and thirty-eight residents were reported from 1980 through 2000.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 138 hail reports in Parker County from 2016 to 2025, 114 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 3 inches. The same records show 54 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 100 mph, and 11 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 Whitt, TX
How is a pool built in Whitt?
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 Whitt the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Whitt, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Whitt?
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 Whitt the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Whitt, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Whitt?
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 Whitt?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Whitt is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Whitt 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.
