The Benefits of Hardscaping in Landscape Installation in Carroll County, Howard County, Olney, Woodbine, Sykesville, and Ellicott City, MD 

Creating a beautiful, functional outdoor space involves more than just planting flowers and shrubs. Hardscaping, using non-living elements like patios, walkways, retaining walls, and stone features, significantly transforms landscapes into inviting, low-maintenance environments. For homeowners, integrating hardscaping into the landscape installation in Carroll County, Howard County, Olney, Woodbine, Sykesville, and Ellicott City, MD, can dramatically enhance one's outdoor space's beauty, functionality, and value.

Increased Usable Space

One of the primary benefits of hardscaping is the creation of additional usable space. Patios, decks, and outdoor living areas expand the home's functional area, providing places to entertain, relax, or dine outside. For homes in Sykesville and Ellicott City, where the changing seasons offer a variety of outdoor activities, having a designated space to enjoy the outdoors is invaluable.

Installing a patio, for instance, allows homeowners to take full advantage of their yard. It creates a comfortable area that can be outfitted with outdoor furniture, grills, or even a fire pit. A well-designed patio seamlessly blends with the landscape, turning an ordinary backyard into an outdoor extension of one's home.

Enhanced Aesthetics and Curb Appeal

Hardscaping also significantly improves the visual appeal of one's property. Walkways, retaining walls, and stone features bring structure and definition to the landscape, while natural materials such as stone and brick add a sense of elegance and durability. For homes in historic towns like Ellicott City, these features can be designed to complement the architectural style of one's home, adding charm and character.

Walkways made of pavers can lead guests to the front door or guide them through a garden, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Beyond their practical benefits, retaining walls offer an opportunity to add texture and interest to the landscape by using a mix of materials, colors, and patterns.

Low Maintenance

One of the key reasons homeowners choose hardscaping is the reduced maintenance compared to traditional landscaping. While grass, plants, and flowers require regular care—mowing, watering, and pruning—hardscape elements like patios and stone paths need little upkeep once installed. By incorporating more hardscaping into the yard, property owners can cut down on lawn care time, allowing the owner to enjoy their outdoor space rather than constantly maintaining it.

Materials such as stone, concrete, and brick are highly durable and resistant to the elements, ensuring the hardscaping features last for years with minimal effort. They also offer long-term cost savings, as one won't need to replace or repair them as often as with plants or wooden structures.

Erosion Control and Improved Drainage

In the opinion of experienced landscapers in Marriottsville, Highland, West Friendship, Woodbine, Glenelg, and Howard County, MD, hardscaping, particularly in the form of retaining walls and properly designed walkways, can help manage water flow and prevent erosion. For homes in hilly or sloped areas, such as parts of Sykesville and Ellicott City, erosion can be a serious concern. Retaining walls provide structural support to prevent soil movement, keeping the garden and yard intact.

Walkways and patios can be designed with built-in drainage systems that help manage water runoff, protecting one's home and lawn from water damage. Permeable pavers, for example, allow water to pass through, reducing the risk of flooding and promoting natural groundwater absorption.

Increased Property Value

Investing in hardscaping enhances the appearance and functionality of the outdoor space and increases one's property's value. Potential buyers in Sykesville and Ellicott City appreciate the added living space, aesthetic appeal, and low-maintenance benefits that hardscaping provides. Whether it's a beautifully designed patio, a well-crafted retaining wall, or a thoughtfully placed walkway, these elements make one's home more attractive to buyers.

Additionally, outdoor living spaces are highly sought after, and a home with a well-planned, hardscaped yard can command a higher price on the real estate market. The return on investment (ROI) for hardscaping features can be substantial, making it a smart choice for homeowners looking to improve their property's value.

Integrating hardscaping into landscape design offers many benefits to homeowners in Sykesville and Ellicott City. From creating additional outdoor living space to enhancing aesthetics and curb appeal, hardscaping adds beauty and functionality to one's yard. With minimal maintenance, improved drainage, and erosion control, these features also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the landscape.

Benjamin Murdoch's life after the war [Part 5]

Continued from part 4

The years after his death

In 1840, a man named Richard Murdoch, called "Richd Mardock" in the census, had eight enslaved individuals, and was living with nine White people in Buckeye, Frederick, Maryland. [22] This was Benjamin's son.

Reprinted from my History Hermann WordPress blog.

Ten years later, in 1850, Richard, a farmer was living in Buckeystown, Frederick, Maryland. [23] He was age 58 (meaning he was born in 1792), with 11 other Whites, including his sister, Eliza, with Anitta not in the same household:

Anitta was likely living in Frederick, Frederick, Maryland with a man named John A Simmons, listed in the 1840 Federal Census. That same year, multiracial and Black individuals named "Harriet Murdock," "Matilda Murdock," and "Rachael Murdock" were living in Frederick County. It is possible these individuals were former enslaved people owned by Benjamin.

Two years later, Richard B. Murdoch assigned power of attorney named William Peugh to obtain an increase in the pension or of bounty land for the service of his father. He claimed that he was the only son and that he had two surviving sisters: Eliza Murdoch and Anitta Simmons. Looking at the actual pension implies that Benjamin and Mary Ann, his wife, had more than three children:

Fast forward to 1887. That year, Eliza Murdoch, who was noted as born Jan. 1, 1800, and the youngest child of Benjamin and Mary Ann, implying that others were born before 1800, died. She died "near Sykesville" in northern Baltimore County, at the residence of her niece:

Source for image: "Obituary," The Sun (1837-1991): 4. May 27 1887. ProQuest. Web. 31 May 2017. Obit also in this Westminster, MD paper, The Democratic advocate the same year.

Despite the fact it says that Benjamin served on the staff of Horatio Gates, no evidence suggests this to the knowledge of this researcher, even though he could have been a major. It is interesting to note that she was native to Frederick County and related to William Murdoch, a London merchant, suggesting some familial connection between Benjamin and this individual. I think they may confusing this person with the other Benjamin Murdock in Vermont, a private in a Massachusetts Regiment, this individual seemingly who died in Oct. 1833.

In 1908, a descendant of the same name as Benjamin died, showing that the family lineage still lived on:

Concluding words

While there are many gaps in the story of Benjamin, many can be filled by looking at land records. There many questions about how a person named Mary Magruder Tarr Willard, Marie Benjamin Murdock Brown, and Richard Bruce Murdock are related to Benjamin. Regardless, there are still questions to be answered about his life, but this is a good start to the topic and hopefully opens doors for many in terms of different areas of Maryland history. [24]

Homes for Sale in Sykesville The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, known as Monopoly's B&O Railroad, reached Sykesville, Maryland, in 1831. Those are just a few tidbits from the long and rich history of this small town in northern Maryland. Nowadays, Sykesville is a unique area where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Sykesville is less than 30 miles from Baltimore and 50 miles from Washington, D.C., so residents are open to more than Sykesville's employment and recreational opportunities.

Architecturally interesting 1971 home in Sykesville, MD has 4bds, 4ba, $599,900. It's a pretty big home for the price. Take a look.

It's quite a different one-of-a-kind home. It features stone, wood, and very unique architectural design. I like the doors, the floor, and this is an interesting place for a wood stove, as soon as you walk thru the doors. And, notice the green glow in the fan.

Large pony wall. This must be a living/dining area. There's the kitchen and a sideboard.

The layout is confusing and the jumbled real estate photos don't help. The kitchen is large and has a huge island. You could call it dated, b/c the home was built in 1971, but it's workable. I hate that they used to put those suspended ceilings in, back then.

Stairs from the kitchen come down here where there's another fridge and oven. I'm confused.

It's a mini kitchen- there's a sink and dishwasher. It must be for the lower level area family room.

Wow, look at the carved door. That's beautiful.

Oh, yeah, this is a rec room. Look at this.

Look at how high it goes. There are 2 more levels.

What an unusual home.

What a view! If I was going to spend $600K for a home, I would love to have it look like this. Something different.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are pretty plain, but they can be decorated.

The baths are original, typically MCM. I like it, though.

Huge home office with port holes. That's pretty cool. Plus, it has a door to the patio.

Oh, wow, look at this bar! The carving. It's massive and gorgeous. Love the floor. They left some traffic lights up, too.

I'm lost, just goin' with the flow. Looks like there's shelving in this hall.

I don't where we are. This house is massive.

This has to be the primary bedroom. Look at this place- glass doors, balconies, stairs, it's huge. In that photo of the bar you can see that there's a direct door to this room.

I love the en-suite.

Look at the duct- I bet it costs a fortune to cool and heat, though.

Outside there are stone patios.

Property looks a little tight- it's only a .35 acre lot for such a large house. Nice big shed back here.

It looks like there's a floor missing from this floorplan.

Around 4 AM on July 12, 2007, the fire department in Sykesville, Pennsylvania, received an emergency call reporting a burning building on Dr. Fugate Drive. The fire had consumed a large portion of the home, and once extinguished, firefighters made a horrifying discovery: the burned remains of an infant boy in a bathtub.

Further examination revealed that the fire had been set intentionally with an accelerant. Although the autopsy could not confirm the infant's cause of death, it determined that he had been killed before the fire was set.

Investigators quickly began their work and identified the home's resident as 33-year-old Joey Lynn Offutt. However, she was nowhere to be found....

Kyle Crosby, New Jersey inmate 426707D, born 1986, incarceration intake in 2016 at age 29, scheduled for release on 10/30/2038

Manslaughter, Hindering Apprehension and/or Prosecution 

A New Jersey man was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison in the choking death of his wife, whose body was found in Maryland by investigators using a GPS device in his vehicle.

Kyle Crosby, 29, was sentenced to 31 years behind bars in the New Year’s Eve 2014 killing of Erica Crippen.

The Mount Laurel man pleaded guilty in December 2015 to aggravated manslaughter and hindering apprehension in the death of his 26-year-old wife.

Investigators found Crippen’s body in March 2015 along a rural road in Sykesville, Maryland, after determining that Crosby had spent time along a nearby road. She had been missing since New Year’s Eve, and Crosby admitted choking her that day.

Crosby apologized to Crippen’s family and asked for forgiveness in court.

“I miss Erica, my wife, terribly,” he said. “I’m sorry. … I know I hurt a lot of people.”

Charges against Crosby’s mother of helping her son conceal the crime were dismissed as part of the deal. Authorities have said Jo Crosby provided significant assistance to her son as he allegedly attempted to conceal Crippen’s death.

The Judge said that the plea deal allowed Crippen’s family to avoid the agony of a trial, where he said Crosby would have likely been convicted of murder.

Crosby must serve 85 percent of the sentence for the manslaughter charge before he becomes eligible for parole.

What Is the Snallygaster?

Spend enough time around north-central Maryland, and you’ll hear about the Snallygaster. He’s spoken of and written about in a cluster of towns in Frederick, Montgomery, and Carroll counties, most prominently in Middletown, Rockville, and Sykesville. The trouble is, he’s almost never described the same way twice. Sometimes he’s part reptile, part bird, with octopus tentacles. Sometimes he has razor-sharp teeth. Other times he has a shiny metallic beak. Sometimes the creature tears the flesh of its victims. Other times it sucks on the veins of its victims until they’ve bled white. And lately the term Snallygaster seems to be used interchangeably with Maryland sightings of Bigfoot. 

So where did the Snallygaster come from, and how did his name come to be applied to such radically different creatures? Ah, now there’s a story. The creature’s name comes from the German term schneller Geist-a fast-moving spirit or ghost whose rapid movement causes doors to slam and items to scatter. In north-central Maryland in the early eighteenth century, the German schneller Geist turned into the Snallygaster, a creature with overtones of European dragon lore and the thunderbird myths of Native Americans tribes. This monstrous bird of prey would whisk away chickens and small barnyard animals in the South Mountain region. 

Occasionally, a tale would surface of a child being carried off. One branch of local lore stated that the seven-sided hex patterns painted on houses and barns were a charm to ward off the beast. (Few of these still exist in Maryland, though hex signs are still prevalent a little farther north in the old German settlements in Pennsylvania.) And so the stories continued for more than a century, firmly rooted in local folklore. 

Written records of the creature don’t appear until 1909, when the Middletown Valley Register published an account from Ohio of a flying creature some twenty feet long, heading toward Maryland. A later issue described a similar creature in Maryland’s northern mountains, sleeping on a kiln. It woke with a horrible screech and flew off. 

Fired by these tales, more reports came in, with witnesses describing an eagle-winged but fur-clad creature snatching farm animals, or tearing them apart and drinking their blood. Tales from out of state-mostly West Virginia and Ohio-described children being dragged off in broad daylight. Reports that cannot now be verified appeared alleging that the Smithsonian Institution offered a substantial reward for the creature and that Teddy Roosevelt planned a hunting trip to find it. The whole story soon died down, with a final report from hunters in Emmitsburg who mortally wounded the beast and watched it disappear into the night. 

The authenticity of these tales is serious in question, especially because of the creature’s convenient disappearance-that is, until it suddenly reappeared two decades later during Prohibition. Stories began to circulate of thunderous explosions and loud screeching sounds from the mountain’s illegal stills, along with reports of a winged creature with huge tentacles. Hard to believe, but the monster carried people off who were getting too close to the mountain and left their bodies scorched and bled white. The Valley Register ran reports theorizing that the creature had probably hatched from an egg mentioned in the paper twenty years earlier. Sightings increased exponentially, and other newspapers including the Baltimore Sun began to cover the story. In some cases, the tales were intentionally ridiculous, featuring the Snallygaster swooping down from the clouds on an antique bicycle, wearing water wings and shouting, “Balance the budget!” More newspapers were trying to get coverage on it when the Valley Register reported the Snallygaster’s death by drowning in a vat of whiskey. The creature’s death probably had something to do with the fact that Prohibition was about to end and the moonshiners didn’t need the Snallygaster’s protection from prying revenue agents. 

Sightings of Snallygaster still occur. At some point, the Snallygaster appears to have become a generic term for the bogeyman and lost its teeth (or beak or tentacles) for good. Any reports of a bipedal mammal called Snallygaster should instantly be filed under Sasquatch. The Snallygaster himself has been killed twice over and should be respectfully laid to rest.
