Water Management
Water management covers both sides of a yard's water problem: drainage that moves stormwater, groundwater and roof runoff away from the house, and irrigation that delivers measured water to lawns and beds.
Sprinkler System Installation
Sprinkler system installation is the design and burial of pipes, valves, heads and a controller that water a lawn and planting beds automatically.
Irrigation Upgrades & Smart Controllers
An irrigation upgrade improves a sprinkler system you already own instead of replacing it: a Wi-Fi, weather-based controller, pressure-regulated heads, efficient nozzles, drip lines in planting beds and repairs to weak zones.
French Drain Installation
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe, wrapped in filter fabric, that collects water moving through the soil and carries it to a safe outlet.
Yard & Foundation Drainage
Yard drainage solutions collect and redirect surface water with grading, swales, catch basins, channel drains and dry wells so rain leaves the lawn and moves away from the house.
Downspout & Sump Discharge Lines
Downspout drainage is buried solid pipe that carries roof water from each downspout, and the discharge from a sump pump, to a pop-up emitter or other outlet well away from the house.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping is the built part of a landscape: paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways and fire features.
Paver Patios
A paver patio is an outdoor floor of concrete, porcelain or natural-stone units laid over a compacted stone base instead of a poured slab.
Walkways & Garden Paths
A walkway is a paved or stone route between the places people walk every day: driveway to front door, gate to patio, door to garden.
Retaining Walls
A retaining wall holds back soil so a slope becomes level, usable ground.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway is a vehicle-rated surface of thick interlocking concrete pavers laid over a deep, compacted stone base.
Fire Pits & Outdoor Living
Outdoor living features are the built elements that give a patio a purpose: fire pits, seating walls and masonry bases for outdoor kitchens.
Decks & Porches
myYardPros designs, builds and repairs residential decks and porches across Northern Virginia: wood and composite decks, screened porches, covered porches, pergolas and deck resurfacing.
Custom Deck Building
Custom deck building is the design and construction of a new pressure-treated wood or composite deck sized to your house and yard.
Composite & PVC Decks
A composite or PVC deck uses manufactured boards in place of wood decking, fastened to a pressure-treated frame.
Screened Porches
A screened porch is a roofed outdoor room with screened walls, built on a deck-style floor and tied into the house.
Covered Porches, Pergolas & Pavilions
Covered porches, pergolas and pavilions are overhead structures that add shade or rain cover to a deck, patio or entry.
Deck Repair & Resurfacing
Deck repair and resurfacing fixes or renews an existing deck instead of rebuilding it.
Fence Installation
Fence installation is building a new wood, vinyl, aluminum or composite fence on a residential lot.
Lawn & Landscape
Lawn and landscape services are one-time projects that rebuild the living parts of a yard: planting beds, trees and shrubs, sod, aeration and overseeding, landscape lighting and artificial turf.
Landscape Design & Installation
Landscape design and installation is the planning and planting of beds, trees, shrubs and screening around a home, with the soil preparation, edging and mulch that help them establish.
Sod Installation & Lawn Renovation
Sod installation replaces a failed lawn with mature tall fescue turf rolled out over graded, amended soil, giving a finished lawn in a day or two.
Aeration & Overseeding
Aeration and overseeding is a seasonal lawn project: a machine pulls plugs of soil to relieve compaction, then new turf-type tall fescue seed is spread so it settles into the holes and thickens the lawn.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting is a low-voltage LED system of path lights, uplights and step, wall and patio fixtures, powered by a transformer and run by a timer or smart control.
Artificial Turf Installation
Artificial turf installation replaces soil and struggling grass with synthetic turf laid over a compacted, free-draining stone base.
Exterior Cleaning
Exterior cleaning removes algae, mildew and stains from a home's outdoor surfaces using the pressure and cleaning solution each material can safely take.
Pressure Washing
Pressure washing uses pressurized water, usually through a rotating surface cleaner, to lift algae, mildew, dirt and stains from hard flatwork such as concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks.
Soft Washing
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that applies a detergent solution to kill algae, mold, mildew and lichen, then rinses it away gently.
Paver Cleaning & Sealing
Paver cleaning and sealing is a restoration service that deep cleans pavers, treats stains and white efflorescence haze, refills the joints with polymeric sand and applies a protective sealer.
Deck & Fence Cleaning & Staining
Deck and fence cleaning and staining is the process of washing weathered wood with a wood cleaner at low pressure, brightening it, letting it dry, and applying a stain or sealer that sheds water and blocks sun.
