  • All construction needs to be in compliance with Fairfax County code.
  • Decks must have proper drainage for water run-off and cannot lead into neighboring lots or common areas.
  • Items cannot be suspended from decks for storage purposes.
  • No top floor decks allowed.
  • Above fence-level decks:
    • Can only be added the backside of townhouses.
    • For end units: Decks cannot be extended laterally beyond the side face not forward of the back face of the building.

Composite Decking

Composite decking is a material which has come into more common use over the last decade. Homeowners considering using composite material on the flooring of their deck must submit a sample of the material they wish to use when submitting their architectural change request prior to purchase and installation. When considering composite decking, homeowners are encouraged to consider colors that match or closely correspond to the colors permitted in the stains above.

Concrete Finishes

A concrete finish can enhance the appearance of concrete porches, steps and personal sidewalks. Homeowners are cautioned that these finishes may never be applied to community-owned sidewalks in front of homes.
