A Glenn Dale homeowner came to us with a blank backyard and a vision for something peaceful, functional, and uniquely theirs.
We designed a custom outdoor living space with a raised water feature, multiple fountains, a smokeless fire pit, and a stone-lined patio. Plans shifted along the way, including the decision to skip the pergola and keep the layout flexible. Every detail, from lighting to material choices, was guided by how they wanted to feel in the space.
The result is a clean, comfortable retreat designed for real life.
Some families dream of a vacation home. Others decide to bring that getaway feeling right to their own backyard. For this Glenn Dale project, the goal was clear: create a peaceful retreat that feels like an escape — without ever packing a bag.
In just four weeks, we transformed the space with a 440-square-foot Belgard patio, anchored by a cozy fire pit and framed with Cheswick pavers, Highland Stone walls, and a bold Midnight border. The hardscape lighting adds warmth after dark, while black river stone softens the edges for a natural touch.
The centerpiece, though, is water. A 14-foot basin with dual waterfall spills and four fountains brings movement, sound, and serenity — turning the backyard into a place to recharge and relax at any time of day. Paired with carefully chosen wall caps and finishes, the result is a landscape designed with function, flow, and a sense of calm at its heart.
