Your weekend barbecues become effortless when you have a stable, level surface that won’t crack under your grill or pool water after every storm. No more avoiding that uneven concrete patio or dealing with wood decking that warps and splinters.
Instead, you get professionally installed backyard patio pavers Long Beach homeowners trust—surfaces that handle salt air, coastal storms, and freeze-thaw cycles without the maintenance headaches. Your family gatherings feel more natural when everyone has a comfortable, attractive place to relax.
The right paver patio doesn’t just look good—it performs for decades. You’re investing in outdoor living spaces Long Island families actually use, not just admire from the kitchen window.
We’ve been serving Long Beach and Nassau County for over 15 years. We’re not just patio contractors Long Island homeowners call—we’re the masonry specialists who understand exactly what coastal conditions do to outdoor installations.
Founded by childhood friends Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, we treat every paver patio project like it’s our own backyard. That means honest timelines, transparent pricing, and work we’d be proud to show our neighbors.
We’ve been working in Long Beach long enough to know how salt air affects different materials and which installation techniques actually last in our climate. When you work with us, you get an owner present for every aspect of your job.
First, we come to your Long Beach home for a consultation. We’ll measure your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s realistic for your budget and timeline. No pressure, no sales pitch—just honest advice about what works best for your specific situation.
Next, we handle the groundwork that determines whether your patio lasts five years or fifty. Proper excavation, base preparation, and grading for drainage aren’t glamorous, but they’re crucial for Long Beach’s coastal conditions. We don’t cut corners here because we know you’ll be using this space for decades.
Installation involves precise placement of each paver with proper spacing and alignment. Edge restraints prevent shifting, and we finish with polymeric sand that locks everything in place. You’ll receive maintenance guidelines specific to Nassau County’s weather patterns, so your investment stays beautiful year after year.

Your paver patio installation includes everything needed for Long Beach’s climate. We use materials specifically chosen to handle salt air and coastal storms—pavers that are three to four times stronger than standard concrete and designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles.
For Long Beach properties, we often recommend permeable pavers that help manage stormwater runoff. These eco-friendly options perform just like traditional pavers while protecting your property from drainage issues that coastal communities increasingly face.
You also get proper base preparation with four to six inches of crushed concrete, compacted with professional equipment. This foundation work, combined with quarter-inch fine mason sand for leveling, ensures your patio won’t settle or shift like those DIY installations you see failing after a few seasons.
We handle related upgrades too—driveways that complement your new patio, pool patios that create cohesive outdoor living spaces, and pergolas that provide shade and structure for your new favorite outdoor room.
Patio paver installation in Long Beach typically costs $16-19 per square foot for concrete pavers and $17-22 per square foot for brick pavers, including professional installation. A typical 12×14 patio (168 square feet) runs approximately $2,700-$3,200 for concrete pavers.
The total cost depends on several factors: the size of your patio, the type of pavers you choose, pattern complexity, and site conditions like drainage requirements. More elaborate designs with curves, borders, or multiple paver types cost more due to additional labor.
While the upfront investment might seem significant, quality paver installation often pays for itself through increased property value and decades of low-maintenance service. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs, so you understand exactly what you’re investing in for your Long Beach home.
Most paver patios in Long Beach don’t require permits because they’re not considered permanent structures like concrete patios. However, permit requirements can vary based on your patio’s size and specific location within the city.
Larger patios or those requiring significant excavation may need permits. If your project involves electrical work for lighting or drainage modifications, permits will likely be required. We’re familiar with Long Beach’s permitting process and can determine what’s needed for your specific project.
When permits are required, we handle the application process for you. This saves you time and ensures everything is filed correctly. We maintain current knowledge of local building codes and requirements, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Properly installed paver patios in Long Beach typically last 25-50 years, with some natural stone options lasting even longer. The key is professional installation that accounts for our coastal conditions—salt air, storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that can damage poorly built patios.
Pavers are three to four times stronger than standard concrete, and individual units can be replaced if damaged without disrupting the entire surface. This makes them ideal for Long Beach’s environment where coastal storms can cause localized damage.
Salt air accelerates metal deterioration, so we use caps, edging, and hardware specifically chosen for coastal applications. Our installation techniques include proper drainage and base preparation that prevent the settling and cracking common with concrete patios in our climate.
Concrete patios are more affordable upfront but often develop problems in Long Beach’s coastal environment. Salt air causes cracking, and concrete is prone to settling that creates uneven surfaces and water pooling issues. Repairs usually mean replacing entire sections.
Paver patios cost more initially but handle our climate much better. Individual pavers can shift slightly with freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and damaged units can be replaced individually. Pavers also offer better drainage, which is crucial for coastal properties dealing with storm runoff.
For Long Beach homeowners, pavers typically provide better long-term value. You avoid the maintenance headaches of concrete repairs and get surfaces that actually improve with age rather than deteriorating. The variety of colors and patterns also allows for designs that complement your home’s architecture.
Installing pavers over existing concrete is possible in some situations, but it depends on the concrete’s condition and your Long Beach property’s drainage needs. The existing concrete must be structurally sound, properly sloped, and free from major cracks or settling issues.
However, for most Long Beach homes, we recommend removing old concrete first. This allows proper base preparation that’s crucial for our coastal climate. Salt air and storm conditions require installation techniques that overlay installations can’t provide.
Removing existing concrete also lets us address drainage issues that many older Long Beach patios have. We can regrade for proper water flow and install permeable pavers that help manage stormwater runoff—increasingly important for coastal properties facing changing weather patterns.
Paver patios in Long Beach need minimal maintenance compared to concrete or wood surfaces. Annual cleaning with a pressure washer removes salt buildup and debris. Joint sand may need refreshing every 2-3 years, depending on weather exposure and usage.
Sealing isn’t required but can extend paver life in our coastal environment. If you choose to seal, reapplication every 3-5 years helps protect against salt air and staining. Individual pavers that chip or crack can be replaced easily without affecting surrounding areas.
The biggest maintenance advantage is how pavers handle Long Beach’s conditions. Unlike concrete that develops widespread cracking, paver systems flex with freeze-thaw cycles and settle individually rather than creating large problem areas. This means fewer repairs and longer-lasting outdoor spaces for your family to enjoy.
