Why Columbia Grange is different from the rest of Washington

Columbia Grange is a suburban pocket inside Washington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Washington job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourWashington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
