Patios, decks and outdoor spaces worth coming home to.
We design and build paver patios, decks, porches, landscapes and drainage for Northern Virginia homes, with the care you would expect from someone working on their own house.
The yard you have. The yard you'll keep.
Most calls start with a problem: a soggy lawn, a cracked slab, a deck past its best. Drag the handles to see how each one ends when the base, the water and the details are done right.
Anyone can make a backyard look good for a season. We build for the tenth summer.
Northern Virginia is hard on outdoor work. Heavy clay holds water, swells and shrinks, and every winter freezes and thaws it again. That is why patios sink, walls lean and decks age before their time.
So we start where the problems start: underneath. Get the water, the base and the footings right, and what you see on top looks the way it did the day we finished.
- Water firstDrainage is solved before anything is built over it.
- The base you never seeExcavated, compacted and measured, not guessed.
- The details you always willClean cuts, tight joints and lines that stay straight.
On every project
- Water routed away from the house first
- Compacted stone base, depth stated in your estimate
- Deck and porch footings below frost depth
- Permits and Virginia 811 utility marking handled
What's under a myYardPros patio
The layers below the surface decide whether a patio is still level in its tenth summer. Every estimate spells out the excavation depth and the base you will get, so you can compare bids on what matters.

Five crafts. One accountable team.
A patio depends on drainage. A deck depends on its footings. A lawn depends on the grade beneath it. We do all five, so nothing falls between contractors.
Not sure which of the five you need?Describe the problem or the project. We will tell you which it is, walk the property with you and put the scope and price in writing.
Hardscaping
Patios, walkways and walls that stay level.
Excavated, compacted and set on a measured stone base, so the lines you admire on day one are still straight in year ten.
Decks & Porches
Outdoor rooms you will use three seasons a year.
Framed, flashed and finished to code, with footings below frost depth and the county permit handled for you.
Lawn & Landscape
A lawn and planting that finish the picture.
Design, sod, seed and lighting chosen for Northern Virginia clay and shade, so it looks good and keeps looking good.
Water Management
Dry basements. Green grass. Water where it belongs.
French drains, downspout lines and irrigation planned first, because every patio, deck and lawn depends on them.
Exterior Cleaning
The day-one look, brought back without the damage.
Soft washing for siding, pressure washing and sealing for pavers and decks, each at the pressure the surface can take.
Built for Friday nights, slow Sunday mornings, and everything in between.
The work is stone, lumber and pipe. The point is the time you spend out there.
A table big enough for everyone
Paver patios and pergolas made for long dinners.
The first coffee of the day
Screened porches for quiet mornings, without the mosquitoes.
A lawn the kids can live on
Sod, seed and irrigation for grass that stays thick and green.
From first call to final walkthrough
Five clear steps, whether it is a single downspout line or the whole backyard.
Tell us what you need
Call or send the estimate form with a short description and your address. Photos help. We confirm you are in our service area and set a time to visit.
On-site visit
We walk the property with you, measure, check slopes and drainage, and talk through options, materials and budget. You get straight answers, including when a smaller fix will do.
Written estimate
You receive a written scope and price that spells out excavation, base, materials and finish details, plus any permit or HOA steps and a realistic schedule.
Build
We mark utilities, protect the lawn and surrounding areas, and build to the written scope. You get updates as the job moves, and we raise surprises with you before acting on them.
Walkthrough
We walk the finished work with you, show you how it drains and how to care for it, clean up the site and close out any permit inspections.
Four things we put in writing on every job
- Water comes first
Before we price a patio, wall or deck, we look at where roof and surface water goes. If drainage needs fixing, you hear it before you spend on what sits above.
- The scope, line by line
Excavation, base depth, materials, what is included and what is not. You know exactly what you are comparing against other bids.
- Permits and Virginia 811
Decks, porches and taller walls usually need a county permit. We draw, apply, schedule inspections and have utilities marked before we dig.
- One team, start to finish
The person who walks your yard at the estimate stays with the job through the final walkthrough.
Sterling-based. Northern Virginia only.
We work in Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington counties and the cities inside them, so Ashburn, Leesburg, Herndon, Reston, Great Falls, McLean, Vienna, Chantilly, Centreville, Burke, Springfield, Gainesville, Haymarket and Woodbridge are all familiar ground.
We do not take projects outside this area. Staying close keeps crews on site instead of on the road, and it means we know the soil, the permit offices and the HOAs before we arrive.
