Our team at Lux Dental Center takes great pride in our work, and we especially value our relationships with our patients. We never want our patients to feel like a number, and always want them to feel like they are heard and empowered to make well-informed dental decisions. As a Willowsford resident-owned business, Dr. Lynn Alexander and Dr. Jason Kiangsoontra feel privileged and grateful to be the dentists of many Willowsford families. We hope to change the way you feel about dentistry, one appointment at a time!

Our entire community is impacted when the housing market cannot accommodate the diverse income ranges of the workers that support it. Now more than ever, people can no longer afford to live where they work – including many of our community’s most essential workers. Windy Hill strives to fill this gap to ensure affordable housing is accessible to more of these hardworking individuals and their families.

Over the last 40 years, Windy Hill Foundation has enabled nearly 1500 citizens across Middleburg, The Plains, Marshall, Brambleton, and Sterling to stay in the communities where they live and work with an affordable, dignified place to call home. The Foundation also offers services and programs to support the sustainable, ongoing success of our residents, including job training, afterschool care, scholarships, tutoring, health screenings, life skills workshops, financial emergency assistance as well as events and activities to encourage a sense of community among residents.

My husband, Kevin, and I chose Willowsford for our family because it was designed to create community and connection among its residents. This same concept is at the center of every Windy Hill community and together we can put the keys to an affordable home into the hands of more families in our county.

I was incredibly inspired by this extraordinary example of a community taking care of its people.

After living in their house in the Grant for three years, David Green and his family decided to remodel their entire backyard during the pandemic. “We had no idea what was going to happen, so we wanted a space outdoors that we could use for years to come if having social events inside wasn’t going to be an option.” Inspired by neighbors’ designs and wanting to host big parties for friends and family, they spent over a year working with Amazing Outdoors, combining their ideas with concepts from the company. “Amazing Outdoors design team was very closely tied to the logistic and construction teams so our expectations and reality were very similar. I still have the 3D video and renderings, and most people think the renderings are actual photos of the final project.”

The space has a combination of unique aesthetic features like firebowls and water shears and practical features, such as the turf play area and outdoor granite bar. Their favorite part of the renovation is the pool and porch. When asked about advice for sprucing up a living space, David says, “Come up with a good plan, get your ideas together, work with a professional company - but then be decisive. If you change your mind throughout the project, it requires different materials and skill sets to complete.”

Despite the luxurious glow-up, David says three simple words describe their backyard now: “Outside is heaven!”
