A paver driveway framed in brick with a stone wall behind it — that one’s in Alexandria. The rest of the work below stands nearby in Arlington and Falls Church, and all of it was hand-set by Edgar’s crew on a reinforced, drained base.
Real projects, photographed on site — each labeled with the town where it stands. Every one hand-set by Edgar’s crew on a reinforced, drained base.






Old Town has its own review. In the Old and Historic Alexandria District, exterior work visible from the street can require approval from the City’s Board of Architectural Review before it begins. We plan front walks, steps and walls with that in mind — materials and details that belong on the block.
Driveways carry weight on their edges. A paver or cobble drive lasts when its borders are set in concrete on a compacted base — brick or Belgian block holding the line under every turn of the wheel. The drive above was built exactly that way.
We dig to solid ground and build a reinforced, drained base.
Each stone is measured and cut on the wet saw to its exact place.
Every stone is bedded in mortar, not sand — hand-fit and leveled.
Caps and edges set true by hand — the finish that locks it together.
A clean site, an honest timeline, and a warranty in writing on every job.
Exterior changes visible from the street in the historic district can require review by the City’s Board of Architectural Review. We help you prepare what the City needs.
Usually. We source reclaimed or matching brick and stone, and rebuild the base wherever the old one failed.
Yes — borders, aprons and full motor courts, set in concrete with a backing haunch so the edge never walks.
