Picture stepping onto a stunning paver patio that actually stays level through Hempstead’s harsh winters. No more dealing with cracked concrete that splits apart every spring or uneven surfaces that collect water and ice.
Your new patio becomes the space where you actually want to spend time. Morning coffee feels different when you’re sitting on something beautiful. Evening gatherings happen naturally when your backyard finally matches your vision.
The right pavers, installed correctly, give you decades of reliable performance. While your neighbors deal with concrete repairs year after year, you’re enjoying a space that looks as good in year ten as it does on day one.
Ageless Chimney has been serving Long Island homeowners since 2006. We understand exactly what materials and installation techniques work in Nassau County’s climate because we’ve been doing this long enough to see what lasts and what fails.
Every job is managed personally by our owners, Bobby and Sherwood. When you hire us, you’re not getting passed off to a crew that’s never met the person who gave you the estimate. We’re there from your free consultation through final cleanup.
Hempstead homeowners choose us because we combine local expertise with the kind of attention to detail that comes from being a family-owned business. We’re licensed, insured, and we warranty our work for ten years because we build things to last.
We start with a consultation at your home to understand your vision and assess your space. No high-pressure sales tactics—just honest advice about what will work best for your specific situation and budget.
Next comes the foundation work that separates patios that last decades from ones that fail in a few years. We handle all excavation and site preparation, including proper grading for drainage and installing a compacted aggregate base that won’t shift over time.
Then comes the paver installation itself. We use materials specifically chosen for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles—concrete pavers and natural stone that can handle temperature fluctuations without cracking. Each paver is carefully leveled and secured, with polymeric sand swept into joints for a professional finish that resists weeds and washing out.

Your patio project includes everything needed for a professional installation: design consultation, all materials, excavation, proper base preparation, paver installation, and final sealing. We also handle any required permits and coordinate with utility marking services.
In Hempstead’s established neighborhoods, we understand the importance of quality that matches your home’s value. We work with premium paver brands like Cambridge and offer a wide selection of colors, textures, and patterns to complement your home’s architecture.
Our installations are designed specifically for Long Island’s climate challenges. We use materials that resist freeze-thaw damage and installation techniques that prevent settling and shifting. This means your patio maintains its beauty and structural integrity through countless seasons while adding real value to your property.
Most Long Island homeowners spend between $30 and $45 per square foot for professional paver patio installation, including both materials and labor. A typical 12×16 patio runs about $5,800 to $8,600 installed.
The price depends on several factors: the type of pavers you choose, the complexity of your design, site conditions, and any additional features like built-in seating or fire pits. Concrete pavers are the most cost-effective option, while natural stone costs more but offers superior durability and appearance.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees. During your free consultation, we’ll discuss options that fit your budget and give you the best long-term value.
For Hempstead’s climate, we recommend concrete pavers and natural stone that can handle freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation. These materials are specifically engineered to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking.
Concrete pavers are excellent for most applications—they’re durable, cost-effective, and available in numerous styles and colors. Natural stone pavers like bluestone cost more but offer unmatched longevity and a premium appearance that increases property value.
The key isn’t just the material—it’s the installation. Our pavers are installed with proper base preparation and drainage systems designed for Nassau County’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns. This combination of the right materials and professional installation gives you a patio that performs reliably year after year.
Most paver patio installations in Hempstead take 3-5 days, depending on size and complexity. A standard 16×20 patio typically takes 3-4 days from excavation to final cleanup.
The timeline includes site preparation and excavation (usually 1 day), base installation and compaction (1 day), paver installation and cutting (1-2 days), and final details like joint sand and sealing (half day). Weather can affect the schedule, especially during spring when ground conditions may delay excavation.
We coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll know exactly when we’ll be working and what to expect each day. We also handle all cleanup, so your property looks better than we found it when the job is complete.
Simple paver patios typically don’t require permits in Hempstead, but larger installations, projects affecting drainage, or patios built close to property lines may need approval from the town building department.
We’re familiar with Hempstead’s building codes and permit requirements. When permits are needed, we can help you navigate the process and ensure your installation meets all local standards. It’s always better to check permit requirements upfront rather than deal with compliance issues later.
During your free consultation, we’ll advise you on what’s needed for your specific project. If permits are required, we’ll handle the paperwork and coordinate with the town to keep your project moving smoothly without delays.
Installing pavers over existing concrete is possible in some situations, but it’s not always the best approach. The existing concrete must be in good condition—no major cracks, settling, or drainage issues. We also need to consider the final height and how it affects drainage patterns.
In many Hempstead properties, we recommend removing the old concrete to ensure proper drainage and long-term stability. This is especially important given the area’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns that can cause movement and settling.
We’ll evaluate your existing concrete during our site visit and recommend the best approach for your specific situation. Sometimes overlay installation works well; other times, starting fresh is the better investment. Our goal is to give you a patio that performs reliably for decades, not just looks good for a few years.
Paver maintenance in Hempstead is straightforward but important for longevity. Regular sweeping removes debris that can stain pavers or clog joints. Occasional pressure washing keeps them looking fresh, and resealing every 2-3 years protects against stains and weather damage.
Joint sand may need occasional replenishment, especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend checking joints each spring and adding sand as needed to maintain stability and prevent weed growth. This simple maintenance takes maybe an hour twice a year.
The beauty of individual pavers is that if one gets damaged or stained beyond cleaning, it can be replaced without affecting the rest of your patio. Compare that to concrete, where a single crack often means replacing entire sections. Proper maintenance keeps your investment looking great and performing well for decades.
