Thoughtful Design, Expert Craftsmanship, Professional Maintenance

For more than 45 years, McHale Landscape Design has partnered with homeowners across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC to create outdoor environments that feel like a natural extension of the home. As a family-owned residential landscape architecture and design-build firm, our work is rooted in decades of experience, deep horticultural knowledge, and hands-on craftsmanship. With registered landscape architects, licensed professionals, in-house carpentry and masonry teams, multiple design studios, and our privately owned 35-acre nursery, every detail is thoughtfully planned and expertly executed.

We bring everything under one roof so your project moves from vision to reality without gaps in communication, quality, or care – resulting in landscapes that are not only beautiful, but built to last.

Over 450 Award-Winning Projects Since 1981

Our portfolio reflects a diverse range of exceptional properties, from waterfront estates in Annapolis and manor homes across Northern Virginia to private retreats on the Eastern Shore and beyond. Each landscape is thoughtfully designed from the ground up, tailored to the architecture, the setting, and the way each client lives outdoors.

The McHale Difference

Our team of expert carpenters, masons, landscape technicians, and designers works together as one cohesive unit, delivering a true single-source landscape design-build experience. By managing every phase under one roof, we ensure consistency, quality, and accountability from start to finish. For you, that means clear communication, a seamless process, and one trusted team guiding your project from initial design through construction and beyond.
