Talbot County’s Premier Pool & Landscape Contractor
Wade Pools & Landscape Design has served Talbot County homeowners since 2001. Founded by Wayne and Shaun Wade, the company brings over 40 years of combined experience to Eastern Shore properties — from the nationally recognized waterfront communities of St. Michaels and Oxford to the vibrant cultural hub of Easton and the rural farm estates and waterfront retreats that make Talbot County one of Maryland’s most coveted addresses.
Talbot County occupies a singular position in the Mid-Atlantic real estate market. The combination of Chesapeake Bay and Miles River waterfront access, historic architecture, nationally recognized dining and arts culture, and the relaxed Eastern Shore lifestyle creates a market where outdoor design must meet the highest standards — pools, landscapes, and outdoor living environments that belong in this extraordinary setting and stand up to its scrutiny.
Whether you’re designing a custom pool for a St. Michaels waterfront estate, creating a comprehensive outdoor living environment for an Easton property, transforming a historic Oxford home’s landscape, or establishing a seasonal maintenance program for a Talbot County second home, Wade brings the design quality, environmental expertise, and personal service that this market demands.

Talbot County properties present some of the most compelling and complex outdoor design opportunities on the East Coast. Tidal waterfront estates, historic in-town properties, and large rural parcels each require a genuinely different design approach — one grounded in real familiarity with the site conditions, regulatory environment, and design aesthetic that define this county.
Maryland’s Critical Area program, tidal setback regulations, and Talbot County’s specific permitting requirements all govern outdoor construction near the water here. Wade manages the full permit process as part of every Talbot County engagement and has navigated these requirements across dozens of Eastern Shore projects over more than two decades.
The Eastern Shore’s seasonal character adds another dimension: many Talbot County properties are second homes or seasonal residences. Wade offers flexible maintenance programs and service arrangements designed for properties with varying occupancy, ensuring your outdoor environment is always ready for your arrival.
