Why people call about this.
The yard has no shape
Individually fine pieces that do not add up. Usually a layout problem, not a plant problem.
A new build with bare ground
Builder sod and nothing else, and no obvious place to start.
You want it done once
One crew, one plan, one price — instead of three contractors and three schedules.
SALADO, TX
Landscape Design 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.
Landscape Design & Build in Salado
Larger and wooded Salado lots call for a plan that works with existing oaks, creek frontage, and natural areas rather than covering the whole property in lawn and beds.
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.
