Dunn Loring sits at the Metro's edge with a neighborhood feel — the streets around the station, the established blocks toward Vienna and Merrifield, the townhouse communities tucked between. The housing stock is mature, the trees are mature, and the grades are what Fairfax County's glaciers of development left behind: rolling, clay-heavy, and ready for walls.
Established-Lot Wall Work
Dunn Loring projects tend to be replacements and upgrades rather than first builds: the timber wall from the 90s that is bowing, the slope that has eroded a little more each year, the backyard that never quite drained right. We replace with modern standards — drainage the original never had, footings below the frost line — and upgrade materials where the budget allows.
Building Around Mature Trees
The area's mature canopy is an asset we protect: root-zone planning, equipment routes that avoid critical roots, and wall alignments adjusted to save specimen trees. A wall that kills a forty-year-old oak is a bad trade, and we design accordingly.
Transit-Corridor Convenience
Dunn Loring's location keeps logistics simple — material deliveries and equipment access are straightforward, which keeps projects on schedule. Most residential walls here complete in one to three weeks of construction.
