TRANSFORMATIONS · SALADO
Backyard Transformations in Salado, TX
A full design-build makeover — the backyard planned from scratch, then built as one project: concrete, structures, beds, turf, and irrigation. We work across Salado — Downtown Salado & Main Street, Mill Creek, Sanctuary and the surrounding area.
SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
A full design, not a patch
Layout for patio, structures, beds, lawn, and paths drawn together before anything is priced.
Grading and site prep
The yard shaped so water leaves it — the step that decides whether everything built on top lasts.
Concrete, structures, and features
Patios, walkways, pergolas, fire features, and outdoor kitchens built in the right order.
Planting, sod, and irrigation last
Softscape and a new sprinkler layout finished once the heavy work is out of the yard.

Why people call about this.
Nothing in the yard is worth keeping
Builder sod, a small slab, and bare fences. It is faster to plan fresh than to work around it.
You want it to work as one space
A kitchen, a fire pit, and shade that relate to each other instead of scattered across the lawn.
The ground itself is the problem
Poor grading on Blackland clay or shallow limestone changes what can be built where. A full redesign deals with it once.
SALADO, TX
Backyard Transformations in Salado: what’s different here.
Salado is a small, historic village of about 2,400 people (2020 census) on Salado Creek, home to the Stagecoach Inn and nineteen sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Around the old village are larger-lot communities such as Mill Creek, the gated Sanctuary, and Hidden Springs, where estate lots run from 2 to 20 acres. The Village of Salado issues its own building permits, has a historic district overlay adopted in 2023, and asks for a floodplain certificate on lots in the floodplain, and gated communities such as Sanctuary have their own HOA review.
Outdoor Living in Salado
Larger Salado lots have the room for full outdoor kitchens and fire features set away from the house, often oriented toward creek or tree views.
The ground
Salado sits on the Balcones Fault, where springs come to the surface and limestone is close underfoot, so digging often means rock and lots near the creek need to respect the floodplain.
Homes and lots
Historic homes near Main Street and the creek, golf-course homes in Mill Creek, custom homes in Sanctuary with some lots backing onto Salado Creek, and wooded acreage in Hidden Springs.
