Landscaping That Understands Newington
Why Newington Homeowners Trust J&J
Newington is full of wooded trails, quiet streets, and homes tucked along Pohick Road and Telegraph Road. But the land here has its challenges. In neighborhoods like Newington Forest and near Pohick Creek Stream Valley Park, clay soil stays compact, shade limits growth, and rainwater can linger in low spots.
We’ve worked on yards throughout the area, from the slopes of Woodstone to the back lots of Northumberland. We adjust grading, break up dense soil, and choose plantings that handle shade and hold strong in wet conditions. It’s all part of creating landscapes that work with the land you live on.

Honoring History and Inspiring Design
Local Highlight: Pohick Church
Pohick Church is more than a historic landmark—it’s one of the oldest symbols of community in the Newington area. Originally established in the 1730s, this colonial church was once the parish of both George Washington and George Mason. The building that stands today, completed in 1774, sits quietly along Richmond Highway and continues to serve as a gathering place, reflecting centuries of local life and landscape. Surrounded by mature trees and open grounds, Pohick Church anchors a part of Fairfax County where history and nature are deeply intertwined. That spirit carries into the surrounding neighborhoods, where outdoor spaces often reflect the same quiet strength and sense of place. It’s this connection to land, tradition, and everyday living that inspires the landscapes we help create in Newington.
Case study
Project Highlight: A Backyard Designed for Everyday Moments
For this family, the goal was creating a place that felt lived-in from the start. They wanted space to cook, sit by the fire, and let the kids play without stepping too far from home.
J&J Landscape Management designed a layered outdoor living area with a natural stone patio, a built-in grilling nook, and a circular fire feature tucked into a quieter corner of the yard. Curved seating walls added both structure and a sense of comfort, while soft plantings helped blend the new design into the existing landscape. What came together is a yard that invites connection, where everyday moments—meals, laughter, even quiet mornings—feel more rooted in place.
