Local Landscaping in Kingstowne and Franconia
Franconia and Kingstowne sit just east of Springfield in 22310 and 22315. Franconia grew along Franconia Road, an old rolling road, and turned suburban from the 1950s, with neighborhoods such as Manchester Lakes and Windsor Estates near Beulah Street and the Franconia Governmental Center. Kingstowne is a planned community begun in the 1980s and built in villages around Kingstowne Boulevard and South Van Dorn Street, with townhomes, condos and single-family homes mostly from the late 1980s and early 1990s and a busy town center.
The two areas want different things. Kingstowne townhome owners ask for compact paver patios, narrow evergreen screens, low-care beds and lawn care on small yards, often with community review. Franconia homes on older lots need foundation bed resets, tree pruning, drainage fixes and larger patios with fire pits. Both benefit from deer-resistant plant choices near stream valleys and parkland.
Parts of the southeast county have shrink-swell clays, and the county soils map shows where. One call connects you with a local pro who works Kingstowne and Franconia.
