Building in Burke

Community associations

Much of Burke is governed by community associations, such as the Burke Centre Conservancy, that review exterior changes. A patio, wall, or new walkway usually needs approval first. We provide the drawings and material details for the application.

Fairfax County jurisdiction

Burke is unincorporated Fairfax County, so any permit goes through Fairfax County Land Development Services.

Wooded, sloping lots

Rear yards here often fall away from the house toward common woods. A patio off the back usually needs a short wall or steps to sit level, and the runoff from it needs to go somewhere other than the neighbor.

Frequently asked

Do I need association approval for a patio in Burke?

Usually, if you are in Burke Centre or another community association with architectural review. We supply what the application needs and do not start until it is approved.

Can you build a patio on a townhouse lot?

Yes. Townhouse patios are often small and close to neighbors, so drainage and access are planned carefully. Materials are chosen to work with association guidelines.

Water runs off my yard into the woods and erodes it. Can that be fixed?

Usually with a stone swale or a drain that slows the water and carries it where it can spread out. We look at where it comes from and where it ends up before designing it.
