Pondless waterfalls
A stream and falls that recirculate from a hidden basin — the sound of a pond without the upkeep of one.
Pool water features
Sheer descents, spillways, and rock falls added to a new or existing pool.
Stone and plantings
Local stone and drought-tolerant plantings so it looks settled, not set down.

Why people call about this.
The yard is too quiet or too loud
Moving water masks traffic and neighbors better than a fence does.
The pool looks plain
A spillway or rock fall gives an existing pool a focal point.
You want a pond without the work
Pondless designs skip standing water, fish, and most of the cleaning.
SALADO, TX
Water Features 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.
Pools & Spas in Salado
Pool excavation in Salado frequently hits limestone, and lots near the creek need the pool and decking kept clear of the floodplain.
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.
