The local standard

What McLean asks of stone.

The pool deck is the least forgiving surface we build. Bare feet, splash, and freeze-thaw — on stone that has to stay dead level against the coping. We set thermal-finished bluestone for its even, slip-resistant texture, wet-set on a reinforced concrete base so nothing settles at the water’s edge.

Many McLean lots fall away from the house. On a slope, a terrace or a stair is only as good as what holds the grade behind it. We build the base and the drainage first, then step the stone with the land instead of fighting it — the way the hillside staircase above was set.

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 McLean homeowners

Before you commission.

Can you match or extend stone we already have around the pool?

Yes. Repairing and extending existing stonework is regular work for us. We source stone to match color and thickness, and rebuild the base wherever the old one failed — a patch on a failed base fails again.

When should we book a McLean project for spring?

Winter. We set stone in mortar, which has to cure above freezing, so most clients reserve their place over the winter and start when the weather turns. Spring dates are limited by how many projects Edgar can lead personally.

Do you work with our landscape architect or builder?

Yes. We build to the drawing — elevations, joints, radii and coursing set as specified — and we work quietly inside the wider project schedule.

Who is actually on site?

Edgar leads every project personally, with lead masons who hold his standard. You will not meet a salesperson and never see us again.

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