The local standard

Steps are the most precise thing we build.

Every riser has to match its neighbors. The eye notices a difference of a fraction of an inch — and so does the foot. We lay out the whole run before the first stone is set, so every step lands where it should.

Water decides how long steps last. We set treads with a slight pitch so rain runs off instead of standing and freezing, and we cap columns and walls so water cannot work into the joints from above.

How it’s built

The part you never see is the part that lasts.

Excavate & reinforce

We dig to solid ground and build a reinforced, drained base.

Cut & shape

Each stone is measured and cut on the wet saw to its exact place.

Wet-set

Every stone is bedded in mortar, not sand — hand-fit and leveled.

Cap & level

Caps and edges set true by hand — the finish that locks it together.

Stand behind it

A clean site, an honest timeline, and a five-year warranty in writing — ten years on the base.

Questions from Falls Church homeowners

Before you commission.

Can you rebuild old front steps without redoing the whole entry?

Yes. We assess the base first. If it is sound, we reset or replace the stone; if it has failed, we rebuild it properly so the new steps do not follow the old ones down.

Blue Select or full-color flagstone?

Blue Select is dense and uniform blue-gray — refined and formal. Full-color flagstone mixes earth tones for a warmer, more natural look. Both are wet-set the same way; the choice is about the house.

How long does a patio-and-steps project take?

It depends on size and site. Every proposal states approximate start and completion dates, and Edgar gives you an honest timeline before you sign — not after.

We also work in Arlington, Vienna, McLean and Tysons — and across D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia. See our work in McLean · Potomac · Arlington · Washington, D.C.

Final Folio — The Commission

Commission the stone that outlives you.

Edgar personally walks every site before a single figure is written. Estates are accepted by private consultation — a limited number each season.
