Bailey's Crossroads Concrete serves Annandale, VA homeowners with driveway replacement, concrete steps, patios, and retaining walls. We have worked throughout Fairfax County since 2017, pull all permits through the county, and respond to Annandale estimate requests within one business day. Every estimate is free and comes with a written scope.
Most driveways in Annandale were poured when the homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, which puts them at 50 to 70 years old. When freeze-thaw damage and clay soil movement have taken their toll, full replacement is the right call. Our concrete driveway building includes proper sub-base prep and reinforcement sized for Fairfax County's soil conditions.
Entry steps on Annandale's older brick Colonials and split-levels are a common replacement item. Decades of freeze-thaw cycles crack and settle the original concrete, and crumbling front steps are both a safety hazard and a curb appeal problem. We rebuild steps properly reinforced and tied to the foundation.
Annandale yards are modest in size, and a well-built patio makes the most of the available space. We pour patios with proper joint placement and thickness for the local clay soil, so the slab stays level rather than cracking and lifting over the first few winters.
Annandale's neighborhoods have both flat lots and properties with grade changes that need retaining walls to manage erosion and prevent water from pooling near foundations. Clay soil puts significant lateral pressure on walls over time, and a properly engineered concrete wall handles that where stacked block walls eventually fail.
Private walkways in Annandale deal with the same freeze-thaw and root pressure issues as driveways. We replace cracked and heaved walkway sections to current grade, with proper joint spacing to reduce future cracking.
Home additions and detached structures on Annandale properties require concrete footings and slabs poured for the local soil conditions. We handle foundation work for additions, detached garages, and replacement foundation sections, with permits pulled through Fairfax County where required.
The bulk of Annandale's housing stock was built during the postwar suburban expansion of the 1950s through the 1970s. That means most homes in the area are 50 to 70 years old - an age range where original concrete driveways, steps, and flatwork are well past their expected lifespan. Homeowners in Annandale are routinely dealing with cracked slabs, sunken steps, and deteriorating driveways that have been through five or six decades of freeze-thaw cycles. A contractor who has not worked on homes of this age and in this soil type tends to miss the sub-base problems that cause new pours to fail prematurely.
The clay-heavy soil throughout Fairfax County is the underlying issue behind most concrete failures in Annandale. Clay absorbs water and expands, then dries out and contracts - and that movement repeats with every rain, every dry spell, and every Northern Virginia winter. Combined with mature trees common throughout Annandale neighborhoods, root intrusion adds a second source of upward pressure on driveways and walkways. Understanding both of those forces before designing a repair or replacement is what separates work that lasts from work that needs redoing in a few years.
Our crew works throughout Annandale regularly, and we pull all required permits through the Fairfax County Department of Land Development Services. Because Annandale is unincorporated, there is no separate city permit office - everything goes through the county, and knowing that process keeps jobs on schedule and out of compliance trouble.
Annandale's neighborhoods are defined by their density and established character. The brick Colonials and split-levels along Ravensworth Road and Columbia Pike are typical of the area - modest lots, mature trees, and original concrete that has had decades of use. Little River Turnpike runs through the heart of the community, lined with a mix of businesses and residential side streets that our crew navigates regularly. Proximity to the Annandale Community Park area marks the geographic center of the community, with residential neighborhoods fanning out in every direction from there.
We also serve homeowners in nearby Alexandria, VA, just to the east along the I-395 corridor, where older housing stock and clay soil conditions are similar. Our Bailey's Crossroads base keeps us close to Annandale job sites with no travel surcharges.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form. We reply to all Annandale estimate requests within one business day, including requests submitted on weekends.
We visit the property, evaluate the existing concrete, soil conditions, drainage, and equipment access, then give you a written estimate with a full scope and price. No charge, no obligation.
If the work requires a Fairfax County permit, we confirm that before booking the crew. This step protects you from unpermitted work that cannot pass county inspection and keeps the project on a clean timeline.
We complete the work on schedule, clean up at the end of each day, and walk you through the finished result - including curing time, sealing options, and any follow-up steps - before the crew leaves.
Free written estimate, no obligation. We serve Annandale and all of Fairfax County and reply within one business day.
Annandale is an unincorporated community in Fairfax County with a population of around 41,000 people. It sits roughly 10 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., and has a well-established residential character built primarily during the postwar suburban boom. The community is well known across the D.C. metro area for the stretch of Korean restaurants, grocery stores, and businesses along Little River Turnpike - one of the strongest Korean American commercial corridors in the entire region. Homes here range from modest quarter-acre lots with brick Colonials to split-levels and raised ranches on slightly larger lots, with mature trees throughout. Owner-occupied single-family homes make up the majority of the housing, and median home values typically run between $500,000 and $700,000.
Residential neighborhoods spread out from Annandale Community Park toward Braddock Road to the south and the I-495 Beltway to the north. The community has a dense, settled character - not a lot of new construction, but a lot of homeowners who have been in place for years and invest in maintaining their properties. Building permits and inspections for any significant work go through Fairfax County rather than a local city government. We also work regularly in nearby Springfield, VA, just south of Annandale, where the housing stock and seasonal conditions are closely comparable.
