Pennsylvania Flagstone is probably the most used flagstone in the Northern Virginia area. Be it a flagstone patio, brick patio, or walk way, they are all built to Phoenix's specific time tested designs.

The first step in bulding a flagstone patio project is to designing the grade and shape of the patio. The area must be graded so the water flows away from your property. Our masonry teams are trained to produce a grade of 1/4" per foot. This grade makes the patio look fairly level but will move the water away from your home without a problem We then remove all grass and prep the area for our concrete pour. Down spouts or sump pump outlets are attached to a new drainage system below your patio or walk way. We never install a gravel base as it would only hold water due to the soil conditions in Northern Virginia. When the forms have been approved by the home owner, we pour 3500 psi concrete. This concrete pour may be reinforced with fiber, wire mesh, or rebar, depending on the local soil types. The patio or walkway is then capped with Pennsylvania square cut irrigator flagstone, brick pavers or material of your choice. Some home owners like to add a brick edge to their project. We set our flagstone in a mixture of type 1 or 2 Portland cement and fine masonry sand. If your patio or walkway project is to be capped in brick, we would then use type S masonry cement and sand mixture. We also build patio fire pits, outdoor kitchens, built in barbecues, refrigerators, grills, and outdoor chimneys.

Outdoor kitchens have been very big this year along with our outdoor chimneys. Lighted and thin stone seating walls are used in many of our patio projects. If your outdoor plans include patio work, why not add a fire-pit or outdoor chimney? Other masonry projects include concrete, concrete and brick, heated, and concrete paver driveways which we design and build in Northern Virginia's best brick and flagstone hardscape's. We build dimensional cut blue green flagstone, slate, irregular flagstone patios, and brick edged flagstone patios. Phoenix's expertise in patio and walkway design is well known in the area. The first step in building your project is to have one of our knowledgeable designers visit your home for a free consultation. These designers can help in the planning stage, material selection, and pricing.

Interlocking concrete pavers are an excellent product choice for driveways, walkways and patios. Phoenix installs Belgrade, Cambridge, and Ep henry interlocking concrete pavers. Many of our patio and walkway projects start with a concrete base and are then capped with clay paver bricks. Brick have standard specifications established by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and Phoenix only uses clay pavers that adhere to these standards. Face brick cannot be used for walkway, patio, or drive way projects. ASTM determined that a minimum of 8,000 psi is needed to endure bricks will hold up in climates like we have in Northern Virginia. Most of our clay brick paver projects are built with Pine Hall pavers. Pine Hall pavers are rated at 13,000 psi and come in split pavers or 2 1/4" pathway pavers. These clay pavers come in full range, red, and coco. Phoenix offers many other brands of bricks such as OLD Virginia, Belden Brick, Boral, General Shale and Glen-Gerry brick.

From patios, walkways, sun rooms, decks, roofing, siding, new patio doors and more, Phoenix is your go to contractor for egress window cutouts or basement walkouts. When grade conditions require the sill of the egress windows to be below the outside grade elevation, then a window well must be constructed. The required horizontal area of a window well is a minimum of 9 square feet which is measured when the egress window is in the open position (this is important when the window is a crank-out type). A permit must be obtained to build an egress window well. When the window well is greater than 30" deep and adjacent to a walkway, a guard or cover must be provided. Covers must be operable without a key or tool.

The egress window must have an opening of 5 sq feet to pass code. To obtain this size window opening, your concrete foundation wall must be cut. A permit is required to cut into a concrete foundation wall. To obtain this permit in most counties of Northern Virginia, a state licensed engineer must produce stamped drawings. Then only a class-A contractor with a building stamp can do the construction the engineer recommends for your home.
