LOCATION: Upper Marlboro, Md.
COMPANY: McHale Landscape Design
When the property next to this client’s home came up for sale, they purchased it and contracted McHale Landscape Design to install a garden, greenhouse and more.
The project is a fully operational, fruit and vegetable-producing outdoor living space constructed in a residential space. McHale Landscape Design installed terraced garden beds, gates, fences and the entrance to the property. The contractor constructed the fences and gates, made from solid cedar, on-site with built-in light and a metal cap to provide long-term durability.
Among the difficulties crews faced was a sharp grade that sloped down toward the “she-shed.” To combat this, McHale crews installed river rock to help guide runoff away from the shed. Other stone used in the project include flagstone, which the contractor chose to create consistent width on the joints.
In addition to the design and installation, McHale crews provide maintenance for this residential property.
McHale Landscape Design won a silver award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence program for this project.
