Paving in a Planned Community

Asphalt paving in Kingstowne mostly involves townhome driveways, shared parking courts and private streets. Kingstowne is a planned community that the Halle Companies began building in the 1980s, centered on South Van Dorn Street and Kingstowne Boulevard, with apartments, condos, townhomes and single-family houses. The 2020 census counted 16,825 residents and 7,181 housing units. Most of the pavement here is between twenty and forty years old.

Marine clay

Kingstowne is one of the communities named in local reporting on marine clay in Fairfax County. In that reporting, Kingstowne builder John Halle said foundation footings had to be dropped two feet in marine clay areas. The same clay that moves foundations moves pavement. Parking courts and driveways here often show settlement, heaving at curbs and long cracks that track the movement of the ground. Repairs need to go down to firm material, and new base needs to be deep enough to bridge soft spots.

HOA-maintained pavement

In a planned community, much of the pavement belongs to homeowner associations rather than VDOT: parking courts, private streets, alleys behind townhomes and pool lots. Fairfax County directs residents to the HOA for those. For boards, we provide written scopes by section, cost by area, and phasing maps that show which spaces close on which days.

Townhome driveways

Short townhome driveways usually meet a private street or parking court. Because they are short, full replacement is often affordable. Matching the height of the new driveway to the garage slab and the street edge prevents water from running into the garage.

Restriping

After repaving or sealing, parking courts need numbered spaces, visitor spaces and fire lanes repainted. We reproduce existing layouts and correct accessible spaces to the 2010 ADA Standards where the lot is restriped.

Town center lots

The Kingstowne town center has office and retail lots that see shoppers every day of the week. Repairs there need to be done in small sections, often early in the morning. Settlement near curbs and storm drains is common on this ground, so we check those spots closely before any overlay.

Planning a reserve study

Many Kingstowne associations budget for pavement through a reserve study. We can provide current condition notes and a phased scope that boards can use to update their reserve schedule.
