Executing Elegance in Northwest DC

Green Retreats

Since opening its doors in 1981, McHale Landscape Design has grown into a full-service, 350+ person design-build firm specializing in high-end residential landscapes. We operate six locations, including three design studios and a private 40-acre nursery, ensuring seamless project execution. Our in-house teams of landscape architects, masons, carpenters, and maintenance professionals allow us to deliver projects with unmatched precision and cohesion—no outsourcing, no finger-pointing, just a unified vision.

McHale Landscape Design is dedicated to creating exceptional residential landscapes that combine artistry, craftsmanship, and horticultural expertise, such as the Northwest DC project with Cathedral views seen here.. For over 40 years, we have designed, built and maintained stunning outdoor spaces, including more than 450 award-winning landscapes.

In today’s fast-paced world, a beautifully designed outdoor space provides a much-needed retreat—a place to relax, entertain, exercise, cook, and reconnect with nature. Since the pandemic and increasing societal stressors, homeowners have placed even greater value on creating personal sanctuaries where they can feel secure, unwind, and truly enjoy their home.
