Why people call about this.
The patio is too hot to use
Filtered shade makes a south- or west-facing patio livable.
The outdoor kitchen needs a roofline
A pergola frames it and takes the edge off the afternoon sun.
The yard needs a structure
A pergola gives an open backyard a room to sit in.
SALADO, TX
Pergolas 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 Structures in Salado
Pavilions and pergolas on acreage can be placed out in the property, while homes in the historic overlay or a gated HOA may need design review first.
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.
