Building beside the water
Lake Barcroft is Fairfax County's lake community — private lake, watershed rules, and homes terraced down to the water. Masonry here lives with the lake: retaining walls holding back slopes above the shoreline, patios and terraces oriented to the view, and brick homes whose mortar faces extra moisture year-round.
The watershed adds a layer: the Barcroft community takes its lake seriously, with rules about runoff, shoreline work, and what goes into the water. We design accordingly — permeable considerations, contained construction, and drainage that protects the lake. A lakeside project done wrong affects everyone downstream; we do it right.
Terraces and shoreline walls
Lake Barcroft's sloped lots are made for terracing: retaining walls stepping down to level patios, garden walls, and stairs to the water. We build these systems with full drainage — critical where groundwater runs toward the lake — and materials that handle constant moisture. Stone and block, detailed for wet conditions, built to last.
