Pristine Acres creates distinctive outdoor living spaces throughout Northern Virginia. The design/build firm was founded in 2007 by Steve Waldron; Kevin Kurdziolek joined the company in 2017. Today, a staff of 15 designers and dedicated project managers delivers fully custom, one-of-a-kind projects from concept to construction, with a focus on client experience.

Kevin Kurdziolek traces his fascination with design to his childhood. “I always had an interest in the built environment and the way things work, as well as an appreciation for art and drawing,” he says. “Landscape architecture allows me to combine these two facets. My designs strive to inspire and enhance quality of life while maintaining thoughtful purpose in every square foot.”

Waldron, who grew up in the construction industry, enjoys working with people and serving others. He believes that “building a special place for loved ones and friends to enjoy shouldn’t be a daunting task; it should be an exciting, meaningful and fun process that everyone can look forward to.” When paired with his construction knowledge, Waldron’s deep appreciation for design allows the firm to produce complex features that would otherwise likely be left as great ideas on paper.

For Kurdziolek and Waldron, functionality and aesthetics are not an either/or proposition. They believe there is purpose behind every line, texture, plant and material—and they all come together to create something special.

Pristine Acres has received a Design Excellence Award from Home & Design and Grand PRO Remodeling Awards. The firm has been featured in Luxury Pools + Outdoor Living.
