Why people call about this.
The steps and path are dark
The first reason most people add lighting, and the most important.
The yard disappears after sunset
In summer most of the time spent outside here is after dark.
You are installing beds or concrete now
Running wire before the beds are finished is cleaner and cheaper than trenching later.
SALADO, TX
Outdoor Lighting 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.
