01 — About working in Alexandria
Alexandria is two cities in one for an outdoor contractor. Old Town (22314) and the historic district near King Street are dense, narrow rowhouses with tiny back gardens, brick courtyards, and strict architectural review boards — every paver and pergola gets vetted by the Board of Architectural Review before a single shovel hits the dirt. We've learned to design around BAR requirements: thin-set bluestone, period-appropriate ironwork, no PVC visible from the public right of way. North of Old Town, the West End and Landmark areas (22302, 22312) are mid-century split-levels and ranchers with bigger yards, where the conversation is usually about retaining the slope down to Holmes Run, fixing the soggy spot near the AC unit, or building the screened porch that should have been there in 1962. South Alexandria — Mount Vernon (22308, 22309) — runs to estate lots near the Potomac with serious drainage and tree-protection challenges. The common thread: Alexandria homeowners care about how the work will look in twenty years, not just twenty days. We bring portfolios that show the same project at install, year three, and year ten. That's what closes Alexandria estimates.
