Custom Driveways – delivered right to your door
It’s more than just the place you park your car, your driveway is a virtual memory lane.
- It was an impromptu basketball court as a child, where many games of Horse were staged.
- It’s the spot where you watched the stars and named the constellations with your future wife while resting on the hood of your car.
- It’s where your family first greeted the baby after the drive home from the hospital.

McHale specializes in custom driveways of any length or dimensions, and our team of experts can help you decide which type will best suit your environment and create a dramatic, welcoming entry.
A Strong First Impression That Lasts
A driveway is more than a place to park. It’s the first hardscaping element your guests see and one of the most-used surfaces on your property. At McHale Landscape Design, we create custom driveways that are as beautiful as they are durable. We tailor each design to fit your home, your lifestyle, and the surrounding landscape.
From McLean to Annapolis, Clarksburg to Easton, we build driveways that complement both architecture and environment. Each project balances design with performance, ensuring your driveway functions year-round and looks great doing it.
Designed by Landscape Architects, Built to Endure
Our driveway designs reflect the principles of strong landscape architecture. That means we consider scale, flow, and materials from the start. Every layout supports proper drainage, smooth transitions, and safe navigation for vehicles and pedestrians.
We work with a variety of hardscape materials, including:
- Brickwork for historic elegance
- Stonework for texture and strength
- Permeable pavers for eco-friendly performance
- Gravel and crushed stone for informal charm
Whether it’s a sweeping circular drive or a straight entry lane, our designs enhance curb appeal while reinforcing the overall residential landscape.
We often pair driveways with custom entry columns, arrival courts, or accent walls. We design driveways to handle changing grades while blending into surrounding gardens and outdoor living spaces.
Blending Form and Function
Your driveway should integrate with the architecture of your home and the character of the property. We align materials, lines, and layout with nearby patios, walkways, or garden design features. This creates a sense of visual continuity throughout the landscape.
Our team includes skilled masons who install each surface with precision. Joints are tight, edges are clean, and patterns are carefully aligned. We treat each element, curbing, apron, edging, as part of a cohesive design, not just a utility.
If your driveway connects to a parking court, garage, or service area, we ensure smooth transitions and consistent grading throughout. For homes with more complex terrain, we provide grading and retaining solutions that stabilize slopes and guide runoff.
Ongoing Lawn Care and Maintenance Support
Like any high-use surface, driveways benefit from proper upkeep. Our maintenance teams offer seasonal services that protect your investment. We clean surfaces, monitor joints, and care for adjacent planting beds.
We also manage snow damage, weed encroachment, and edge stabilization. These small tasks make a big difference in how your driveway holds up over time.
We can also enhance existing driveways with updates like upgraded paving, expanded width, or new lighting and planting borders. A few simple upgrades can turn a basic drive into a signature feature of your landscape.
