Grand Award - Total Residential Contracting

McHale Landscape Design is dedicated to designing and constructing extraordinary residential gardens, pools, outdoor living areas and home additions.

A project implementing a local landscape architect’s plan snowballed for McHale Landscape Design when the owners requested additional fresh ideas for their 12-acre waterfront property. The ultimate scope of work included masonry, irrigation, drainage and extensive landscaping in which abundant mature plant material found on the property was transplanted and integrated with new shrubs and trees. A 40-foot-tall willow oak was transferred from McHale’s nursery via an 18-wheeler and found a new home near the home’s front entry.

Spectacular water views highlight the completed landscape, which boasts visual interest conveyed year-round via colorful flowers and foliage. The landscape also acts as a wildlife habitat, providing food sources and nesting materials.

Highlights

• A 24-inch caliper, 40-foot willow oak from McHale’s nursery balances an existing shade tree on the home’s approach
• A stone fireplace with a chimney and seat wall overlooking the river, enhancing a patio constructed by the builder
• A generous cobblestone curb and gutter border emphasize the curves of the drive
• A cobblestone apron and matching stone pillars built by McHale’s masons welcome guests
