Why people call about this.
You cook outside most of the year
In Central Texas that is spring through fall. A kitchen keeps the heat and the smoke out of the house.
The grill lives on a patch of lawn
A built-in kitchen gives it a proper home with counter space.
You are building a new patio anyway
Planning the kitchen now means the slab, lines, and outlets go in once.
SALADO, TX
Outdoor Kitchens 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.
