Driveways, Hardscape & Masonry in Reston

Driveways, patios, walkways, and walls in Reston, planned around Reston Association design review from the start.

Working in Reston

Reston homes range from early cluster townhouses to newer single-family neighborhoods, and almost all of them sit under Reston Association covenants. That shapes hardscape work here: materials, colors, and footprints usually need approval before anything is built. Common projects include replacing worn driveways, building patios behind townhouses, and fixing walks that have settled.

Joseph Cash gives every estimate himself and can give you the dimensions and material details a design review application asks for. Our own crew does the work once you have approval. Every job carries our 5-year workmanship warranty, and paver installs carry a 15-year no-settlement warranty with brands backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Building in Reston: what to know

Reston Association review

Reston Association says most exterior alterations, large or small, need approval from its Design Review Board or Covenants staff before work begins. A complete application includes a written description, material and color details, a scaled site plan, photos, and signatures from at least three neighboring lot owners. Projects that match approved cluster standards may not need an individual application.

Fairfax County is the government

Reston is not a town. It is an unincorporated part of Fairfax County, so county rules on permits apply alongside the Association's covenants. Fairfax County lists on-grade patios and driveways as not needing a building permit, but taller retaining walls and work near streams have their own requirements. We confirm with the county what applies.

A planned community since 1964

Robert E. Simon founded Reston in 1964 as a planned community, and the Association still maintains more than a thousand acres of open space, lakes, and trails. Many lots back onto that common land or onto wooded stream valleys, so we confirm property lines and drainage paths before we stage equipment or change grades.

Reston: common questions

Do I need Reston Association approval for a new patio?

Most likely, yes. Reston Association requires approval for most exterior changes before work begins, unless your project matches an approved cluster standard. We provide the drawings and material details your application needs, and we start once you have approval.

Who issues permits in Reston?

Fairfax County. Reston is unincorporated, so county rules apply in addition to Reston Association covenants. Many patios and driveways do not need a county building permit, but some walls and stream-side work do. We confirm before quoting.

How long does design review take?

It depends on your application and whether it goes to staff or a full board panel. Reston Association says incomplete applications are returned, which causes delays, so the most useful thing we can do is help you submit a complete one.
