Patio and Outdoor Living Construction — Fairfax, VA

Scope of Services

We manage every stage of a patio project — from the initial site assessment to the final clean-up. Our work covers:

• Patio design and layout planning suited to your property and use.
• Installation of pavers, natural stone, stamped concrete, and poured concrete.
• Retaining walls, steps, and integrated drainage solutions to protect foundations.
• Fire pits, seat walls, and pergola foundations built to code.
• Repair and resurfacing of existing patios, including crack repair and leveling.
• Seasonal maintenance and sealing to extend service life.

How we work

Project success starts with a practical plan. We provide a written estimate after an on-site review, including material selections, sequencing, and a clear timeline. The proposal will list permit requirements and any foreseeable site work — grading, tree protection, or utility coordination.

Materials and craftsmanship

We source materials that perform reliably in northern Virginia: frost-resistant pavers, concrete mixes formulated for the climate, and polymeric jointing compounds where required. Our crews follow industry best practices for base compaction, edge restraint, and drainage to minimize settlement and wobbling over time.

Site safety and permits

All projects follow local code and safety protocols. When permits are required, we prepare the drawings and submit them on your behalf. On-site, we keep the work area contained and leave the property safe each day.

Cost considerations

Patio costs vary by material, size, and site conditions. Hardscaping with natural stone or custom cut pavers can command a higher up-front cost, while poured concrete offers a lower initial price and long-term durability. We present options so you can choose the balance that fits your budget and expected lifetime.

Design ideas and practical choices

When planning a patio, prioritize access and staging: clear paths from doors, smooth transitions to lawn or planting beds, and proper grading to avoid pooling. Consider these practical layouts:

• Dining patio: 10–16 feet deep to accommodate a table and circulation space.
• Seating court: A compact arrangement for conversation around a fire feature.
• Multi-level terraces: Use retaining walls to create usable spaces on sloped lots.

We also advise on pairing patio materials with adjacent surfaces — choosing pavers that match driveway tones or creating a subtle contrast with natural stone.

Warranty and project handover

Work includes a post-installation walkthrough to review care and maintenance. We provide a written warranty on workmanship along with manufacturer warranties for supplied products when applicable.
