The work we're built for

xScape is built for 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 Loudoun County projects fall into one of three patterns:
Established homes & town centers

Leesburg, Lansdowne, Hamilton, Lovettsville. Larger lots, mature trees, full backyard transformations.

Premium planned communities

Ashburn, Brambleton, Broadlands, South Riding, Sterling. Builder-grade backyards turned into entertaining space that matches the rest of the home.

Western Loudoun estates

Middleburg, Waterford, Bluemont, Round Hill, Purcellville. Acreage and architecture that support pool, porch, and outdoor-room work at a different scale.

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.

Loudoun County outdoor living — common questions

All of Loudoun County — Leesburg, Ashburn, Purcellville, Aldie, Sterling, the Western Loudoun estate belt (Hamilton, Waterford, Middleburg, Bluemont, Round Hill), and the major planned communities (Brambleton, Broadlands, Lansdowne, South Riding, Lovettsville). Our Leesburg office at 722 E Market Street is the day-to-day base for Loudoun County projects.

Yes. xScape is a design-build firm — the same team that designs the project builds it. There's no handoff between an outside designer and a separate contractor, which is where most outdoor projects lose definition.

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 — decks, porches, and pools. The timeline depends on how many zoning and natural resource reviews your specific property requires. Some properties need a single zoning review; others can require up to four.

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

The most common delays come from zoning and natural resource reviews, which vary significantly by property. Homes in environmentally sensitive areas, properties with easements, steep slopes, floodplain considerations, or HOA-restricted communities often need additional review steps that extend the timeline.

The County also occasionally requests revisions or clarifications during review. That's a normal part of the process — not a problem with the project — and most permits go through one or two rounds of comments before final approval. We minimize delays by preparing complete submission packages upfront, tracking reviews closely, and responding to County comments quickly.

Our work is a meaningful capital project rather than a small repair. Custom decks generally start in the upper five figures. Full backyard transformations with pools and outdoor rooms run well into six figures. We're transparent about ranges in the first conversation.
