BR Design Build is an award-winning landscape design and build company based in Annapolis, Maryland, specializing in outdoor living environments, pools, hardscaping, landscape construction, and custom exterior spaces. As a full-service outdoor living design and construction company, BR Design Build works with homeowners throughout Anne Arundel County and surrounding Maryland communities to create outdoor spaces tailored to how each client lives, entertains, and uses their property.
Founded by Craig Smith, BR Design Build was created around the belief that omeowners deserve more than disconnected contractors and generic outdoor layouts. The company was built using a complete in-house design-build approach that combines planning, landscape design, construction, and project management under one roof. Today, homeowners searching for an experienced outdoor living specialist in Maryland rely on BR Design Build for thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and long-term outdoor functionality.
The company designs and builds everything from luxury pools and patios to retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fireplaces, pavilions, decks, and complete backyard environments. Every project is carefully designed around the property, surrounding landscape, and how the homeowner plans to use the outdoor space. This approach helps create luxury outdoor living spaces that feel connected, functional, and built for long-term enjoyment.
To support both long-term durability and cohesive outdoor design, BR Design Build works with trusted outdoor living and material brands including Belgard, Cambridge, Techo-Bloc, Country Lane Gazebos, Lapp Structures, Trex, and Landmark Ceramics. Construction methods also align with installation standards recognized by the ICPI and NCMA.
At BR Design Build, we are a team of professional Maryland outdoor living contractors designing and building custom pools, hardscaping, and outdoor living spaces with an in-house design-build approach.
With over 27 years of experience, BR Design Build has helped Maryland homeowners create custom outdoor living spaces built for long-term beauty, functionality, and enjoyment.
