Covered patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and stone for homes in 5 Hood County towns. One family-owned team designs and builds it all, starting with a free design visit.
Hood County takes in 425 square miles of the north central plains of Texas. Granbury, the county seat, sits on U.S. Highway 377 forty-one miles southwest of Fort Worth. The Brazos River winds north to south through the county, and Lake Granbury, completed in 1969, covers 8,700 acres on that river.
Hood County is part of the Western Cross Timbers, with elevations from 600 to 1,000 feet. Undulating to hilly ground in the east and west central areas has brown, red, or dark loam, and the rest is red or mottled loam and sand. Precipitation averages thirty inches a year, temperatures run from 34° F in January to 96° in July, and the growing season averages 232 days.
Comanches once met at Comanche Peak, the county’s highest point. Stock raisers and farmers began settling the Brazos and Paluxy valleys in 1854. The legislature formed the county in November 1866 and named it for Lt. Gen. John Bell Hood, with the seat named for Gen. Hiram Bronson Granbury. The Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway, finished in 1887, carried produce and livestock to market, and cotton, corn, and oats were the main crops.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 64 hail reports in Hood County from 2016 to 2025, 55 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 4.5 inches. The same records show 32 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 90 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.
Each of these has its own page, with local facts, ZIP codes and the questions homeowners there ask.
Paluxy is on State Highway 51, fifteen miles southwest of Granbury in Hood County. The Paluxy River runs through the town, and the surrounding area is farm and ranch land. The Paluxy post office was established in 1858, and the area was in Erath County until Hood County was carved out in 1866. Early on the place was called Pulltight because travelers had trouble crossing the river, and it was later named for the river. NOAA lists 1 hail report filed at Paluxy from 2016 to 2025.
Tolar is on U.S. Highway 377, seven miles southwest of Granbury in southwestern Hood County. Several buildings in town are made of petrified wood found in the area, and in 1969 collecting and shipping it was a local industry. Tolar was first settled around 1890, when the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway reached the area. W. L. McGaughey named it for his friend Alf Tolar of Abilene, and a post office opened that same year. Water comes from the City of Tolar, which draws on groundwater. NOAA lists 4 hail reports filed at Tolar from 2016 to 2025.

We build outdoor living across Hood County, including Cresson, Granbury, Lipan, Paluxy and Tolar.
Inside a town’s limits, that town’s own office reviews the permit. Outside town limits, Hood County rules apply. We confirm which one covers your address at the design visit, then file the permit and handle the inspections.
The towns we serve in Hood County sit on Western Cross Timbers and Eastern Cross Timbers ground. The ground decides how a slab, a pool shell or a footing has to be built, so the drainage and footings are planned for it at the first visit.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 64 hail reports in Hood County from 2016 to 2025, with stones up to 4.5 inches. Patio cover roofs, fasteners and posts are chosen with that in mind.
