While renovating their home, a McLean couple tapped McHale Landscape Design to transform their lackluster yard into an inviting outdoor environment where they could entertain family and friends. The elaborate master plan included a complete overhaul of the front entry.

Then	Now
A steep slope from right to left caused drainage problems and an uneven appearance.	A cut-and-fill project leveled the front yard while a new drainage system manages storm water.
Mundane azaleas blocked the front entry—and served as deer food.	A new flagstone arrival circle complements the home’s entry portico and welcomes guests in style.
The spare, nondescript plant palette did not provide a succession of color or textural variation.	Masses of annuals and perennials, along with blooming crape myrtle, create year-round color and interest.
A barren lawn was a “wasteland” in front of the house.	Flagstone pavers set into the turf forge an informal connection to the street.
