Howard County Swimming Pool, Patio & Retaining Wall Project

This Howard County outdoor living project centers on a custom in-ground swimming pool surrounded by an expansive hardscape patio with room for relaxing and entertaining. Just as important as the pool itself, the retaining-wall system helps the backyard work with the property’s grade and creates a durable framework around the new outdoor space.

A substantial retaining wall supports the upper portion of the yard, while a multi-level wall and step system connects the home to the pool area below. Together, the walls, steps and patio help manage elevation changes, circulation and drainage while giving the backyard a cohesive finished look. The project is a strong example of Rhine combining pool construction and hardscaping for Howard County-area homes.
