The Premier Pool & Landscape Contractor in Arnold
Wade Pools & Landscape Design has served Arnold homeowners since 2001. Founded by father-and-son team Wayne and Shaun Wade, the company brings over 40 years of combined experience to Arnold properties — from Magothy River waterfront estates and the communities surrounding Cape St. Claire to the tree-lined residential neighborhoods closer to the Route 2 corridor.
Arnold sits in one of the most desirable parts of Anne Arundel County — close to Annapolis, with excellent schools, a mix of waterfront and interior lots, and a community character that values quality craftsmanship and well-maintained properties. Wade understands the design standards and site-specific conditions that Arnold properties present, from tidal setbacks near the Magothy to the clay-heavy soils common throughout this part of the county.
Whether you’re adding a custom pool, redesigning your landscape, building an outdoor living space, or establishing a year-round maintenance program for your Arnold property, Wade delivers the precision and personalized service that every project deserves.

Arnold straddles the line between waterfront Chesapeake Bay living and established Anne Arundel suburban character. Waterfront properties along the Magothy River and its tributaries require careful attention to tidal setbacks, Critical Area regulations, and environmental grading requirements. Interior lots present their own considerations around mature trees, soil drainage, and neighborhood aesthetic standards.
Wade has navigated Anne Arundel County’s permitting requirements for over two decades. We understand what it takes to install a pool or hardscape project within shoreline buffer zones, how to manage drainage on the sloped lots common to this part of the county, and which plantings and materials perform best in Arnold’s specific soil and climate conditions.
From waterfront estates near the Bay to the neighborhoods of Cape St. Claire and Ulmstead, our team delivers outdoor design and craftsmanship that matches the quality of Arnold’s most desirable properties.
