Swimming Pool, Fire Pit, Waterfall Feature, Retaining Walls

This Howard County-area backyard project was developed in phases to create a multi-level outdoor living environment. The upper level features the swimming pool, dive rock, planting beds and walking path, while the lower level adds a curved retaining wall, fire pit, waterfall feature and hardscape patio for seating and entertaining.

The connected stone steps help tie the spaces together and show how thoughtful grading, hardscaping and landscape design can turn a sloped property into several functional outdoor rooms. Rhine Landscaping creates integrated pool, patio, wall and landscape projects throughout Howard County and surrounding Maryland communities.
