In Fairfax: Retaining Walls in Fairfax

Building in Fairfax

County or city?

A Fairfax address can be in Fairfax County or in the City of Fairfax, which is independent and issues its own permits. We confirm which one your lot is in before quoting.

Clay soil

Much of Fairfax County is clay that holds water. Behind a wall, under a patio, or beside a foundation, that water is what causes failure, so drainage is designed into every job rather than added when something goes wrong.

HOA communities

Many Fairfax neighborhoods have an HOA with architectural review for walls, patios, and grading. We supply the drawings and material details the application asks for and do not start until it is approved.

Frequently asked

Do you work in the City of Fairfax as well as the county?

Yes, both. They have separate permit offices, so we confirm which one applies to your lot before we price anything.

Water pools against my foundation after rain. Can you fix that?

Usually with a combination of regrading, downspout routing, and a French or trench drain, depending on where the water comes from. We find the source first; the fix follows from that.

Will my HOA need to approve a patio?

Many Fairfax HOAs require review for patios and walls. We provide drawings and specifications for the application.
