French Countryside | Bethesda MD

Nestled in the heart of Bethesda, MD, this landscape brings a soft, elegant touch to a newly built home inspired by French Countryside architecture. Partnering once again with a trusted homebuilder we’ve collaborated with for over 25 years, we designed and installed a planting plan that feels timeless and grounded. A row of Southern Magnolias provides privacy and year-round structure while echoing the classic charm of the home’s stone and stucco facade. At the front, neatly clipped boxwoods frame the entry, layered with soft perennials and flowering shrubs to add seasonal texture and color. A hand-crafted dry stack stone wall gently defines the space, giving the entire setting a sense of permanence and grace—like it’s been there for decades.
