Annapolis is one of Maryland’s most distinctive markets for pool construction and landscape design. The combination of Chesapeake Bay waterfront properties, historic colonial architecture, and the affluent residential communities surrounding the Naval Academy creates unique pool design and landscaping challenges — and unique opportunities — that only a pool builder and landscape contractor with genuine local experience can navigate effectively.
Wade has managed Anne Arundel County’s permitting process for pool construction and hardscape installation for over two decades. We understand tidal setback requirements for waterfront pool builder projects, Critical Area regulations along Spa Creek and the Severn River, the HOA standards common to Annapolis-area communities, and the soil and drainage conditions that determine which landscaping and pool construction approaches perform best year after year.
From pool construction on the waterfront estates of Eastport and Spa Creek to landscape design and build for the historic neighborhoods near the State House, Wade delivers pool builder and landscaping contractor services that reflect the quality and character of Annapolis properties.
