Building in McLean

Fairfax County jurisdiction

McLean is not incorporated; it is part of Fairfax County, so permits go through Fairfax County Land Development Services. Taller retaining walls and work near a driveway often need an engineered design, which we confirm before quoting.

Long driveways

A long driveway on a slope is a drainage project as much as a paving one. We grade the base so water leaves the surface along its length instead of running the full distance to the garage or the street.

Scale and finish

On a large property the details show: border courses, banding, transitions between materials, and walls that are capped properly. We bring samples and lay out the design on site before anything is ordered.

Frequently asked

Can a long driveway be done in stages?

Sometimes, but the base and the drainage need to be planned for the whole length at once, or the joins become the weak points. We price it both ways so you can decide.

Do I need an engineer for a retaining wall?

It depends on the height, measured from the bottom of the footing, and on what the wall supports. Walls beside driveways often need one at a lower height. We check with Fairfax County before we quote.

Can a patio, fireplace, and walls be one project?

Yes, and it is usually better that way: one base, one drainage plan, and materials chosen together. We design it as a whole and can build it in phases if needed.
