What we build for Ashburn homeowners

Custom decks

Premium capped composite, hardwood, and hybrid systems sized for entertaining and matched to the architecture of the home.

Covered & screened porches

Tongue-and-groove ceilings, integrated lighting and fans, three-season usability — especially valuable in Ashburn's spring and fall shoulder seasons.

Pools

Including infinite-edge designs and integrated spas, paired with decking and pool houses as one project rather than three.

Patios & hardscape

Paver systems, retaining walls, and fire features sized to Ashburn's planned community lots and open backyard layouts.

Outdoor kitchens

Designed in from the start, with counter, grill, and storage built around real entertaining patterns — not a default footprint.

Pergolas

Custom builds and Struxure louvered systems for shade you can actually control.

Lighting & finishing

The details that decide whether a space gets used after sunset.

Full backyard transformations

Design and build the entire outdoor environment as one connected project — deck, pool, porch, kitchen, hardscape — under one team.

The work we're built for in Ashburn

xScape is built for Ashburn homeowners planning a meaningful outdoor investment — a real space, designed and built to last, sized to the home and the property.

If the goal is the cheapest deck a contractor will quote, we're not the right fit, and we'll tell you that early. If the goal is a complete outdoor living environment — where design, materials, and execution all matter — that's the work we do.

Most of our Ashburn projects fall into one of three patterns:
Premium planned communities, builder-grade backyards

Brambleton, Broadlands, One Loudoun, Belmont. The home interior is finished to a high standard — the backyard hasn't caught up. Design-build closes that gap.

Established Ashburn neighborhoods with the lot for it

Ashburn Village, Belmont Country Club, Lansdowne-adjacent. Larger properties, mature trees, full backyard transformations with pool, porch, and outdoor kitchen.

Pool and porch pairings

Homeowners ready to invest in pool, surround, pool house, and deck or porch as one connected design — rather than three separate jobs added over time.

3 Steps to Haven

Three stages — careful planning, considered design, and a build that holds up. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, it's the same team the whole way.

1

Fit Conversation & Planning

We start with an honest conversation about the home, the property, and what you're imagining for the outdoor space.

We listen, review site documents, and walk through scope and budget so both sides know early whether xScape is the right fit for the work.

2

Design Presentation & Refinement

Our design team translates the vision into a tangible concept — 3D models, sketches, and a full proposal you can actually see before a single thing gets built.

Your feedback shapes the design until it's right. No surprises, no guesswork.

3

Construction & Final Walkthrough

With a finalized design, our build team brings the project to life — same team, same standards, every step.

We maintain open communication throughout, with regular updates and a final walkthrough so the finished space lands exactly the way it was designed.

Ashburn outdoor living — common questions

All of Ashburn — Brambleton, Broadlands, One Loudoun, Ashburn Village, Belmont, Belmont Country Club, and the established neighborhoods on both sides of Route 7. We work in both 20148 and 20147.

Yes. Most of Ashburn's premium communities have HOA design guidelines and architectural review requirements. Here's how it works: you complete and submit the HOA application — which often requires signatures from neighboring property owners. Our design team prepares the full submission package: the property plat with the proposed project outlined, 3D renderings, material selections, color samples, and product specifications.

You combine our package with your HOA application and submit it for review. If the HOA comes back with questions or requests for additional information, our designers provide responses, supplemental documentation, or attend HOA review meetings when needed.

Yes — start to finish. Our team develops the structural drawings, prepares and submits the plans, plats, and permit applications, tracks the review through Loudoun County's submission systems, and responds to any County questions during review. Once approved, we download the finalized permits and notify you we're cleared to build.

The only thing typically required of you is providing property information and, occasionally, signing an owner authorization form if the County requests one.

Loudoun County permit approvals currently run approximately 30–60 days for most outdoor living projects. For HOA-governed communities, add the HOA review timeline on top of that — HOA reviews vary by community but typically run 2–6 weeks.

After permits are issued, a premium custom deck typically runs several weeks of build time. Full backyard transformations with pool, porch, hardscape, and outdoor kitchen run months. We give you a real schedule before contract — not a marketing window.

Custom decks generally start in the upper five figures. Pools, full porches, and backyard transformations run well into six figures depending on scope. We're transparent about ranges in the first conversation — not after you've invested time in design.
