Before you build in Woodson
Woodson is on U.S. Highway 183 and Farm roads 209 and 1710 in southeastern Throckmorton County, where it ranks as the second largest town in the county. Lake Woodson lies northwest of town on Kings Creek.
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 Woodson 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 Woodson
A post office was established at Woodson in 1905. By 1914 the town had 250 residents, two churches, a bank, and a weekly newspaper, the Woodson Record.
Woodson’s small-town lots often leave space for a separate pavilion out in the yard, joined to the back door by a short concrete walk.
Throckmorton County lies between 1,200 and 1,800 feet, with prominent hills in the southwest and bluestem, gramas, and mesquite covering the land. Temperatures range from an average minimum of 29° F in January to 98° in July.
The community grew after the Cisco and Northeastern Railway was built in 1926 and remained a market center for the southeastern county after rail service ended in 1943. Woodson had 600 residents in 1940 but declined as Throckmorton and Albany drew trade away. The population was 450 in 1950, 291 in 1980, 262 in 1990, and 296 in 2000. The town has a post office and is incorporated.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 37 hail reports in Throckmorton County from 2016 to 2025, 31 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 2.5 inches. 7 of those reports were logged at Woodson itself, the largest 1.75 inches. The same records show 17 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 96 mph, and 3 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 Woodson, TX
How is a pool built in Woodson?
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 Woodson the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Woodson, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on pools.
What does a patio cover need in Woodson?
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 Woodson the permit goes through the city or county office that covers Woodson, and Longhorn files it and follows it through inspection. More on patio covers.
How is a pergola built to last in Woodson?
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 Woodson?
A sunroom or screened enclosure in Woodson is attached to the house, so it is permitted through the city or county office that covers Woodson 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.
Woodson 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 Woodson and handles the inspections, so the schedule does not stall on paperwork.
Woodson sits on Rolling Plains clay ground in Throckmorton 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.
