On a hill with sweeping views of the Severn River, sits a 1.87-acre property in Arnold, Maryland. The site’s elevation and proximity to the water provided an inspiring foundation for McHale Landscape’s design, which features lovingly restored 90-year-old terraced stone walls that wind along the lot’s steep bluff. A cast-stone wall fountain, installed in a 10-foot retaining wall, introduces sound and movement. After clearing years of invasive growth from the property, boxwood, hydrangea, and azalea were planted to bring in color and texture. Balancing historical preservation with modern usability on such a steep site was a point of pride for the project, which honors the history and grandeur of this 1935 home and its gardens.
