Walnut Hill focuses on craftsmanship and service in distinctive residential landscapes in Maryland, DC and the Eastern Shore.

The owners of a half-acre property in downtown Annapolis engaged Walnut Hill to transform the lot into a charming, functional outdoor living space. To achieve the client’s cozy, cottage vision, the design team added new stone walls, entrance pillars and bluestone walkways enhanced by grasses, hydrangea and boxwood.

In the backyard, the existing pool saw upgrades in the form of a custom water element and bluestone coping framed with ipe decking. The former garage was repurposed into a stylish kitchen/bar and workout studio. A newly designed courtyard links the house to the garage and pool, while the existing pergola was reimagined as a stunning focal point behind the pool’s water feature, elegantly tying the whole space together.

• The hillside transformation blends structural elements with natural beauty to create a welcoming entry to the home
