St. Michaels, MD
The Premier Pool & Landscape Contractor in St. Michaels
Wade Pools & Landscape Design has served St. Michaels and Talbot County homeowners since 2001. Founded by father-and-son team Wayne and Shaun Wade, the company brings over 40 years of combined hands-on experience to Eastern Shore properties — from waterfront estates along the Miles River and the Chesapeake Bay to the historic residential properties and second homes that make St. Michaels one of Maryland’s most distinctive communities.
St. Michaels attracts buyers who want the best — in their homes, their waterfront setting, and their outdoor environments. The combination of tidal waterfront properties, historic architecture, and the relaxed Eastern Shore lifestyle creates unique opportunities for outdoor design that Wade is uniquely positioned to execute. We understand the Eastern Shore’s environmental regulations, tidal setback requirements, and the design aesthetic that belongs in this community.
Whether you’re building a custom pool and spa for a waterfront estate, redesigning the landscape of a historic St. Michaels property, creating an outdoor living space for a second home, or maintaining a property you visit seasonally, Wade delivers the precision and personalized service that this special community deserves.

Waterfront & Estate Design Built for St. Michaels Living
St. Michaels is one of the Chesapeake Bay region’s most coveted addresses — a community defined by waterfront living, historic character, and a quality of life that draws buyers from across the Mid-Atlantic. Outdoor design here must reflect that standard: pools, landscapes, and outdoor living spaces that complement the architectural quality of the properties and the extraordinary natural setting.
Tidal waterfront properties in the St. Michaels area require careful attention to environmental regulations — Critical Area buffers, tidal wetland setbacks, and Talbot County’s specific permitting requirements for pool and hardscape installation. Wade has navigated these regulations across dozens of Eastern Shore projects and manages the full permit process as part of every engagement.
From the waterfront estates along Bozman and Neavitt Roads to the historic homes on Talbot Street and the seasonal residences throughout Talbot County, our team delivers designs that honor the character of this place while pushing the quality of outdoor living to its highest expression.
