Your backyard shouldn’t just sit there looking empty. You deserve a space where Saturday morning coffee tastes better, where dinner conversations stretch longer, and where your home feels bigger without adding square footage.
Professional patio pavers give you exactly that. No more soggy grass areas that can’t handle a table and chairs. No more avoiding your backyard because there’s nowhere comfortable to actually spend time.
With the right paver patio, you get a solid, level surface that works in any weather. You get defined outdoor rooms that feel intentional. And you get a space that actually adds value to your property while making your daily life more enjoyable.
We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners for over 15 years. We’re not just chimney specialists—our masonry expertise extends to beautiful paver patios, driveways, and outdoor living spaces throughout Greenport West and surrounding areas.
What sets us apart is simple: every job is owner-managed. Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, childhood friends who founded this company in 2006, ensure that your project gets the attention it deserves from start to finish.
We’re fifth-generation masons with an A-rating from the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List. That reputation comes from doing the work right the first time, treating your property with respect, and standing behind every installation we complete.
Great patio pavers start below ground. We begin with proper excavation—typically 8-10 inches deep—to handle Long Island’s soil conditions and moisture fluctuations. This isn’t where you want shortcuts.
Next comes the foundation: a properly compacted aggregate base layered with precision. This is what prevents settling, shifting, and those uneven pavers you see in poorly done jobs. We use the right materials and take the time to do it correctly.
The paver installation itself involves careful attention to patterns, spacing, and drainage. Every paver gets set level, every joint gets filled properly, and every edge gets secured to prevent future movement.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through basic maintenance. You’ll know exactly how to keep your new patio looking great for decades to come.

Your paver patio installation covers everything needed for a professional result. We handle excavation, base preparation, drainage considerations, paver installation, joint filling, and edge restraints. No surprise add-ons halfway through the job.
In Greenport West, we see a lot of sandy soil conditions and seasonal moisture changes. Our installations account for these local factors with proper base depth and drainage design. We also handle any necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building requirements.
Material options include concrete pavers, natural stone, and brick—each with different benefits for Long Island’s climate. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Additional features like paver walkways, steps, lighting preparation, or integration with existing driveways can be incorporated during installation. It’s more cost-effective to plan these elements upfront rather than retrofit later.
Most Long Island homeowners invest between $30-45 per square foot for professional paver patio installation. This includes materials, labor, excavation, base preparation, and proper drainage.
The total cost depends on several factors: patio size, paver material choice, site conditions, and design complexity. A basic 200-square-foot concrete paver patio typically runs $6,000-9,000, while premium natural stone installations can cost significantly more.
Keep in mind that cheaper isn’t always better. Proper base preparation and quality installation methods are crucial for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Cutting corners on the foundation often leads to expensive repairs within a few years.
Long Island’s climate demands pavers that can handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture changes, and temperature swings. Concrete pavers and natural stone both perform well when properly installed.
Concrete pavers offer excellent durability and come in numerous colors and textures. They’re engineered to resist cracking and fading, with many lasting 25-50 years. Natural stone like bluestone provides timeless beauty and can last even longer, though it requires a higher initial investment.
The key isn’t just the paver material—it’s the installation quality. Proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and correct joint filling matter more than the specific paver type. A well-installed concrete paver patio will outperform poorly installed natural stone every time.
Most residential paver patios take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Weather conditions can affect the timeline, especially during excavation and base preparation phases.
Day one typically involves excavation and initial base work. Days two and three focus on base completion, compaction, and beginning paver installation. Final days include finishing the paver layout, joint filling, and cleanup.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. You’ll know exactly what to expect each day, and we coordinate with you on any special considerations like pool access, gardening areas, or upcoming events.
Some Long Island towns require permits for patio installations, particularly when they’re near property lines, involve drainage changes, or exceed certain sizes. Requirements vary by municipality.
We handle permit research and applications as part of our service. It’s better to address these requirements upfront than face potential fines or forced removal later. The permit process typically adds 1-2 weeks to project timeline but ensures everything is done legally.
Historic districts or areas with specific zoning restrictions may have additional requirements. We’re familiar with local regulations and will guide you through any necessary approvals before beginning work.
Absolutely. Paver patios work excellently around pools and can be designed to integrate seamlessly with existing driveways or walkways. Proper planning ensures a cohesive look across your entire outdoor space.
Pool areas require special attention to drainage and slip resistance. We select appropriate paver textures and ensure proper water runoff to prevent pooling or safety issues. The installation process also accounts for any existing pool equipment or utilities.
When connecting to existing driveways, we match materials and patterns where possible, or create intentional design transitions that look purposeful rather than piecemeal. The goal is making your entire outdoor hardscape look like it was planned as a unified whole.
Paver patios are relatively low-maintenance, but some basic care keeps them looking their best. Annual cleaning, occasional joint sand replenishment, and periodic sealing extend their lifespan significantly.
Spring cleaning involves sweeping debris, power washing if needed, and checking for any settled areas or loose pavers. Most issues are minor and easily addressed when caught early. Joint sand may need refreshing every few years, especially in high-traffic areas.
Sealing every 3-5 years protects against stains and helps maintain color consistency. This is particularly important for lighter-colored pavers or high-use areas. We provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your paver type and installation conditions.
