Have a Question? We Have Answers.
Below are some of the most common questions our clients in Fairfax, VA, ask about our landscaping and hardscaping services. If you don't see your question here, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.
What is the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping refers to the "soft" elements of your yard—the living parts like grass, trees, shrubs, and flowers. Hardscaping, on the other hand, involves the "hard" or non-living elements such as patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and other structures that add functionality and definition to your outdoor space. At Pro J & W, we seamlessly blend both to create a balanced and beautiful design.
Do I need a permit for my landscaping or hardscaping project?
In many cases, certain hardscaping projects, like the construction of retaining walls or patios, may require a permit from Fairfax County. This is to ensure the project meets all safety and zoning regulations. We handle the entire process for you, from initial design to securing all necessary permits, so you can have a stress-free experience.
How long will my project take to complete?
The timeline for a project can vary widely depending on its size and complexity. A small planting bed might take a day or two, while a full backyard transformation with a new patio and extensive landscaping could take several weeks. During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a detailed timeline and keep you updated on our progress every step of the way.
How much do your services cost?
The cost of our services is unique to each project. It depends on several factors, including the scope of the work, the materials chosen, and the size of your property. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your vision and budget. After a thorough assessment, we will provide you with a transparent and detailed estimate.
