Covered patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and stone for homes in 9 Kaufman County towns. One family-owned team designs and builds it all, starting with a free design visit.
Kaufman County is in northeastern Texas, where its largest town, Terrell, sits thirty miles east of Dallas. It covers 788 square miles of the Blackland Prairie and lies on the divide between the Trinity and Sabine rivers. The town of Kaufman, first called King’s Fort, has been the county seat since March 1851.
Terrain is mostly level to gently undulating, from 300 to 550 feet above sea level. Soils are slightly acidic, with dark to light loamy surfaces over clayey subsoils. The climate is subtropical-humid, with July highs averaging 97° and January lows 33° F. Rainfall averages thirty-nine inches, and the growing season averages 245 days.
William P. King and forty pioneers from Holly Springs, Mississippi, started the first settlement, King’s Fort, in 1840. The county was drawn from Henderson County in February 1848 and named for David Spangler Kaufman, a diplomat and lawmaker. The Texas and Pacific Railway crossed the north in 1873. From 1880 to 1930 the county stayed rural and agricultural, and its cotton crop peaked at 57,698 bales in 1930.
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists 62 hail reports in Kaufman County from 2016 to 2025, 56 of them an inch across or larger, with stones up to 3.5 inches. The same records show 46 damaging thunderstorm wind reports, with gusts up to about 81 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.
Elmo is on U.S. Highway 80, some thirteen miles northeast of Kaufman in northeastern Kaufman County. Within a decade of its founding the town was a shipping point for cotton, corn, and wheat. A community grew up when the Texas and Pacific Railway laid tracks through the area in the early 1870s. Residents named it for Elmo Scott, the wire engineer who surveyed and routed the T&P through the county. Water comes from Elmo WSC, a water supply corporation, which treats surface water.
Gunite pools and spas planned with the deck, shade and kitchen.
Stone islands, built-in grills, fridges and a real vent hood, under cover.
Solid-roof shade over the patio. It’s the simplest way to use it year-round.
Fixed or louvered, built to your slab, the yard’s centerpiece.
Glass walls under a solid roof. Real square footage, light all day.
Screened rooms: the breeze and the view, none of the mosquitoes.
Travertine, pavers, seat walls and fire pits, with drainage solved first.
Water-wise planting, irrigation and lighting for North Texas.
We build outdoor living across Kaufman County, including Crandall, Elmo, Forney, Kaufman, Kemp, Mabank, Rosser, Scurry and Terrell.
Inside a town’s limits, that town’s own office reviews the permit. Outside town limits, Kaufman 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 Kaufman County sit on Blackland Prairie 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 62 hail reports in Kaufman County from 2016 to 2025, with stones up to 3.5 inches. Patio cover roofs, fasteners and posts are chosen with that in mind.
