We will work with you along the way to provide expertise on creating an atmosphere that feels luxurious, calming and that matches your vision perfectly.

Outdoor Fireplace

The ambiance and warmth a fireplace adds to an outdoor space is unbeatable. Whether you are entertaining or sitting out on your patio, unwinding after a long day by a custom fireplace will be an excellent addition to your Fairfax design. We build high-quality, wood-burning fireplaces of all sizes to complement your backyard décor. Wherever you are in your design process, we will make sure your firepit installation meets your needs.

Walkways

Our custom walkways will convert your Northern Virginia home to a functional and organized space. We create remarkable stone paths that make your yard easy to navigate and lead to the focal points, like patio seating, cozy fire pits, and fountains. We make sure the new pathway fits your existing aesthetic perfectly by offering a wide selection of materials. Choose from stone pavers, brick, slate or flagstone.

Lighting

We believe the smallest detail can have the biggest effect. Adding simple lighting to your outdoor space will enhance the beauty and spirit of your home dramatically. Outdoor lighting brings attention to the charming features of your backyard, illuminates pathways and provides a comforting energy and ambiance that will make your guests feel at home.

Safety is another huge benefit to bringing light into your outdoor space. Paved walkways will be visible at night so navigating your yard will be less hazardous. If you are planning on having evening get-togethers, lighting will ensure that your guests are free to roam around and enjoy your entire backyard.

Increase your home’s curb appeal and add an enchanting touch to your yard with our lighting options. We offer everything from deck lighting, patio lighting, outdoor path lighting and much more.

Multiple Level Deck:

Increasing the amount of usable space is a plus in any deck design. Having multiple levels will allow you to designate different areas for different uses. For example, utilizing the level closest to the home’s entrance for an outdoor kitchen and dining area would be extremely convenient. The lower level could be used for patio seating and entertaining friends and family. Our Northern Virginia deck builders will use the best composite decking materials to create your multiple-level space.

Outdoor Kitchen/Bar:

Nothing beats having a summer get-together out on your deck complete with BBQ food and drinks. When your meal can be prepared outside, you won’t have to miss out on socializing with your guests.

Gazebo:

With Summer in full swing, a gazebo should be on every home-owners list. Besides adding an undeniable charm and value to your home, a gazebo is a perfect spot to enjoy the summer breeze, spend time with family or set up an evening meal.
