Walls: Strength, Structure, and Signature Craftsmanship

Walls do more than hold back soil. In thoughtful landscape design, they create structure, define outdoor spaces, guide movement, and elevate the visual experience. At McHale Landscape Design, we build walls that are as functional as they are beautiful. We use high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to deliver lasting impact across residential properties surrounding our offices in Annapolis, Easton, Clarksburg, McLean, and beyond.

We approach every wall as an opportunity to enhance both form and function. Whether it’s a curved garden wall framing a patio, a tiered retaining wall creating usable terraces, or a brick entry wall marking the transition from public to private space, each feature is built with purpose and precision.

No boundaries, just walls. Creating elevation and defining spaces.

Landscaping retaining walls can be constructed from stone, brick, or native plants. They not only prevent landscape erosion, sinkholes, slope failures, and flooding, but also naturally boost aesthetic appeal by ridding your property of dirt piles, and define your pool, patio, garden, or backyard space with a visual outline.

Diseñados y construidos por el equipo de expertos de McHale, que incluye arquitectos paisajistas registrados, técnicos paisajistas certificados y horticultores profesionales certificados, los muros de contención paisajistas y los muros de jardín son visualmente agradables y estructuralmente sólidos.

Custom Stonework and Brickwork Walls

Our experienced masonry teams specialize in a wide variety of wall types using the best hardscape materials available. From natural fieldstone and bluestone to hand-laid brick and cut granite, we select materials that complement your home’s architecture and the broader landscape.

Classic brickwork often define front gardens and formal entryways. In Clarksburg and Annapolis, dry-stacked stone retaining walls help shape steep or sloped terrain, creating flat, usable spaces while preserving the natural character of the site. Whether formal or rustic, curved or angular, our walls are built to suit the needs of the site and the vision of the client.

Our team installs each structure with careful attention to drainage, base preparation, and structural integrity, ensuring that it stands strong through seasons of use and weathering.

Walls as Part of Hardscape Design

Walls are often integrated into broader hardscaping features. They support patios by managing grade transitions, provide seating around fire pits, and serve as backdrops for planting beds or water features. When thoughtfully placed, a low garden landscape wall can subtly divide outdoor living spaces or anchor a walkway leading to a focal point.

We work with a variety of hardscape materials to create walls that feel cohesive with surrounding elements. Whether paired with flagstone patios, brick walkways, or ornamental garden structures, our walls are part of a holistic landscape design strategy.

Clients often turn to McHale Landscape Design when they want hardscape ideas that feel timeless yet customized. Our proceso de diseño y construcción ensures walls are not added as afterthoughts but are fully considered components of the overall plan.

Retaining Walls with a Purpose

Retaining walls are essential on many properties, especially where elevation changes dramatically. These do more than add beauty. They improve usability, manage erosion, and support complex grading plans. In Annapolis and McLean, we often use retaining walls to carve out level lawn areas, garden terraces, or steps leading to lower patios.

We engineer retaining structure to meet both aesthetic goals and structural demands, blending technical design with handcrafted execution. Our walls function beautifully and blend naturally into the surrounding hardscape and planting design.

Built to Last with Ongoing Support

Our team brings over 40 years of expertise to every masonry project. We believe in building walls that last, using tried-and-true techniques combined with modern tools and high-quality materials. And once your project is complete, our landscape maintenance team is available to ensure the area around your walls remains clean, planted, and properly managed.

Clients across Clarksburg, Easton, and Annapolis trust McHale not only for installation but for long-term care of their entire landscape, including the stonework and brickwork features that define it.
