Whether you’re reimagining a single space or your entire property, McHale Landscape Design brings your vision to life through a design-build process. As your single-source partner for design, construction, and ongoing maintenance, we manage every detail with one trusted team, creating exceptional outdoor environments built to endure.
Streamline Your Entire Project
Design-build is a collaborative project delivery approach that brings design, planning, and construction together under one team. Rather than working with separate companies throughout, you benefit from a single source of responsibility from concept through completion. This integrated model promotes clear communication, efficient decision-making, and greater accountability while helping ensure your outdoor environment is designed and built with a unified vision and exceptional craftsmanship.
How Does the Design-Build Process Work?
Every project begins with a personalized consultation where we learn how you want to use your property, evaluate existing site conditions, and discuss your priorities, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Our landscape architects and designers develop a comprehensive proposal outlining the project scope, estimated investment, and timeline. Once approved, we refine a preliminary concept into a detailed master plan supported by thorough cost analysis.
McHale coordinates every phase of construction through one experienced, in-house team. Our landscape architects, carpenters, masons, and landscape professionals collaborate to maintain design integrity while managing scheduling, craftsmanship, and quality control. Throughout the process, you receive clear communication, regular progress updates, and a seamless experience from concept through completion and ongoing landscape maintenance.

Our Design-Build Services Include:
Landscape Architecture
Our landscape architecture services create a comprehensive vision for your property by balancing aesthetics, functionality, and the natural environment. We thoughtfully organize outdoor spaces, circulation, grading, planting, drainage, and architectural elements into a cohesive master plan. Every detail is carefully coordinated from concept through construction, resulting in landscapes that complement your home and perform beautifully for years to come.
Landscape Design
Landscape design transforms individual outdoor spaces with customized planting plans, gardens, water features, and environmentally conscious solutions. We incorporate native and adaptive plantings, green roofs, and site-specific design strategies that reflect your property’s unique conditions. Every landscape is tailored to your lifestyle while supporting long-term beauty, functionality, and ecological health through thoughtful planning.
Pools & Spas
Our custom pools and spas are designed as complete outdoor retreats rather than standalone features. We integrate pools, spas, pool houses, patios, landscaping, lighting, and surrounding amenities into one cohesive environment that complements your architecture. Every project balances recreation, relaxation, and visual harmony while creating an inviting destination for entertaining, family gatherings, and everyday enjoyment through every season.
Masonry
Our in-house masonry team crafts durable hardscape features that provide both structure and character throughout your landscape. We design and construct patios, walkways, arrival courts, retaining walls, driveways, brickwork, and natural stone installations with meticulous attention to detail. Every element is engineered for lasting performance while blending with your home’s architecture, creating outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.
Outdoor Living
Our outdoor living spaces extend the comfort of your home into thoughtfully designed exterior environments tailored to the way you live. We create outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, covered gathering spaces, loggias, and entertainment areas that encourage year-round use. Every feature is carefully integrated into the overall landscape, allowing your outdoor spaces to feel like a natural extension of your home’s architecture and lifestyle.
Carpentry
Our custom carpentry services add architectural detail and functionality throughout your property. From screened porches and home additions to arbors, pergolas, fences, and decks, every structure is designed to complement your home’s unique style and enhance how you enjoy your outdoor spaces. Built by our experienced in-house craftsmen, each project combines lasting durability, refined craftsmanship, and seamless integration within the landscape design.
