Home Additions Designed to Belong
Homes evolve. Families grow, hobbies expand, and daily routines change. A thoughtful addition gives you room to live well without leaving the place you love. McHale Landscape Design creates custom additions that feel original to your home, while strengthening the connection to your outdoor living spaces and residential landscape.
We align architecture, craft, and horticulture so the new space looks right and works hard. From materials to massing, every decision supports beauty, comfort, and long-term performance.
A Design-Build Process That Simplifies Everything
Our design-build approach brings architects, craftsmen, and landscape teams together from day one. You work with one coordinated team that manages design, budgeting, permitting, and construction. Communication stays clear and decisions stay on schedule. We work within HOA rules and neighborhood guidelines provided, and facilitate county inspections, so the process feels organized and predictable.
Your addition benefits from integrated site planning. We study sun, views, privacy, and circulation, then tailor the footprint and openings to support everyday life indoors and out.
Architecture That Fits Your Home
Great additions look inevitable. We match rooflines, proportions, trim, and materials for a seamless result. Windows and doors align with existing rhythms, so the façade reads as one composition. Inside, ceiling heights, flooring, and lighting create a calm transition. Outside, the foundation, walks, and planting complete the picture.
Our landscape architects coordinate garden design, grading, and drainage to protect your property. The result respects your home’s character and elevates curb appeal.
Connected to Your Outdoor Living Spaces
An addition should extend how you use the property. We plan porches, terraces, and paths that connect the new room to patios, lawns, and planting beds. Shade, views, and wind are considered early. If you want a loggia, screened porch, or outdoor kitchen, we integrate utilities, lighting, and storage from the start. Your residential landscape feels unified, not added in pieces.
What We Commonly Build
- Screened porches, loggias, and covered outdoor rooms
- Pool houses, studios, and home offices

Each scope is customized to your site, budget, and timeline.
Details That Protect Your Investment
We specify durable cladding, flashing, and roofing that stand up to weather. Insulation, air sealing, and high-performance windows improve comfort and efficiency. Mechanical and electrical systems are sized correctly and placed with future service in mind. Hardscape and planting are restored or upgraded, and lawn care plans help the site recover quickly after construction.
Our team serves Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, including Annapolis, Clarksburg, McLean, and Easton.
