Where Recreation and Nature Come Together
Local Highlight: Burke Lake Park
Burke Lake Park is a beloved public space in Fairfax County, originally purchased by the federal government in the 1950s as a potential airport site before the focus shifted to Dulles. Today, it’s one of the area’s most popular recreational hubs, operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority. The park offers a long list of attractions, from miniature golf, a carousel, and a miniature train to a fishing pier, playgrounds, campgrounds, and an ice cream parlor.
The unpaved 4.68-mile trail looping around the lake is a favorite for both cyclists and walkers, while the marina allows for boat rentals and private launches (though gasoline-powered motors are not permitted). Golf enthusiasts can take advantage of the 18-hole par-3 course, a two-level driving range, and a newly renovated 4,200-square-foot clubhouse complete with dining and a pro shop. The park also hosts a well-known high school cross-country course, making it a true gathering place for all ages and interests. At J&J, we draw inspiration from Burke Lake Park’s blend of recreation, nature, and community spirit, designing residential landscapes that offer the same sense of connection, relaxation, and enjoyment right at home.
Case study
Project Highlight: A Welcoming Family Haven
When a local family reached out to J&J, they were excited to create a backyard that felt welcoming and functional—but they weren’t sure where to start.
The landscape had poor drainage, uneven areas, and little structure, making it difficult to use or enjoy. We worked closely with the homeowners to develop a design that paired their vision with expert solutions, transforming the space into a true family retreat.
The completed design features a spacious natural stone patio with a built-in grilling area and dining space, plus a cozy fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows and enjoying summer nights. A lush lawn provides room for birthday parties and kids’ play, while seating walls create inviting corners for conversation. With an ongoing landscape care plan, the family knows their backyard will always be ready—whether it’s for a neighborhood get-together or a quiet evening under the stars.
