Local Landscaping in Fairfax
Fairfax covers three of our ZIP codes north of Burke. 22030 holds the independent City of Fairfax, its historic downtown and George Mason University. 22031 reaches northeast toward Mantua and the Vienna/Fairfax-GMU Metro area. 22032 runs southeast along Braddock Road through Kings Park West, a neighborhood of late 1960s and 1970s split-levels, Colonials and townhomes that borders Burke. Route 123, Route 29, Braddock Road and Little River Turnpike tie the area together, and Accotink Creek and its branches drain much of it.
Homes from the 1960s and 1970s here are ready for a full refresh: overgrown shrubs out, new beds and walks in, thin fescue rebuilt with aeration and seed, and back decks turned into paver or flagstone patios. Rental homes near GMU need simple, durable, low-care plantings and regular mowing. Sloped lots in Kings Park West and Mantua call for retaining walls and drainage that moves water away from basements.
The City of Fairfax is a separate city with its own rules, while the surrounding ZIP areas are in Fairfax County; Fairfax Water serves both. One call connects you with a local pro who works Fairfax.

Landscaping Challenges in Fairfax
City or county
Some addresses are in the independent City of Fairfax and some in Fairfax County, so local rules differ by street.
Dated 1970s yards
Original foundation plantings and concrete walks in Kings Park West and Mantua are due for redesign.
Basement drainage
Rolling lots send runoff toward basements, so grading, downspout lines and French drains are common first projects.
Rentals near GMU
Rental properties need tough, low-care landscapes and dependable mowing that hold up with little attention.
