Your patio becomes the place everyone wants to gather. No more cracked concrete or water pooling after every storm. Instead, you get a surface that handles Long Island’s weather without showing wear, looks better with age, and gives you decades of worry-free entertaining.
The right pavers don’t just survive our winters—they make your property worth more. You’re investing in something that works with your home’s style, manages drainage properly, and creates the kind of outdoor room that makes neighbors stop and ask who did the work.
When it’s done right, you spend time enjoying your space instead of maintaining it. That’s what happens when materials match the climate and installation follows the standards that actually matter.
We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners since 2006. We built our reputation on chimney and masonry work, which means we understand foundation prep, drainage, and the kind of structural integrity that keeps outdoor projects looking perfect for decades.
Every job gets owner oversight. Bobby and Sherwood started this company as childhood friends, and they still make sure each project meets the standards they’d want for their own homes. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded because your investment deserves that protection.
Northville homeowners choose us because we know how coastal weather affects masonry work. The salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer storms that other contractors learn about the hard way—we’ve been handling those challenges for nearly two decades.
We start with proper excavation and base preparation—the part that determines whether your patio lasts five years or fifty. Four inches of compacted aggregate, proper grading for drainage, and edge restraints that won’t shift when the ground moves.
Your pavers get set on a sand bedding layer that allows for minor adjustments while maintaining stability. We use manufacturers like Unilock, Cambridge, and Techo-Bloc because their products come with lifetime warranties and the engineering to back them up.
Joint sand gets swept and compacted to lock everything in place. Then we walk you through maintenance basics and give you the documentation you need for warranty coverage. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days for most residential patios, depending on size and complexity.

Concrete pavers give you the most options for colors and patterns while staying budget-friendly. Natural stone brings timeless elegance that works with both historic and modern Northville homes. Permeable options handle drainage while looking identical to traditional pavers.
We also handle the upgrades that make your patio complete. Driveways that match your patio materials create a cohesive look. Pool patios need slip-resistant surfaces and proper drainage. Pergolas add shade and structure for dining areas or lounging spaces.
Long Island’s weather demands materials that won’t crack, fade, or shift. We source from suppliers who understand this climate and back their products with real warranties. Your investment gets protection from both the manufacturer and our installation guarantee.
Most Northville homeowners invest between $16-19 per square foot for concrete pavers, including professional installation with proper base preparation. Natural stone options typically run $20-30 per square foot, while premium materials can reach $40+ per square foot.
The total depends on your patio size, material choice, and any additional features like steps, seating walls, or drainage systems. A typical 16×18 foot patio ranges from $4,600-5,600 for quality concrete pavers with lifetime warranties.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing in. No surprises, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing for work that’s built to last decades.
Quality pavers are engineered specifically to handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Unlike poured concrete, individual pavers can move slightly with ground movement, preventing the stress fractures that destroy concrete patios.
The key is proper installation with adequate base preparation and joint sand that allows for minor movement. When installed correctly, you can still find paver streets from the 1930s that look better than concrete poured last year.
Long Island’s coastal climate, with salt air and temperature swings, actually favors pavers over concrete. The individual units handle expansion and contraction better, and if one ever needs replacement, you can swap it out without redoing the entire surface.
Most residential patio installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one covers excavation and base preparation—the foundation work that determines long-term performance.
Day two involves setting the pavers, making pattern adjustments, and installing edge restraints. Day three handles joint sand, compaction, and final cleanup. Weather can extend timelines, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
Complex designs, drainage systems, or challenging access can add time, but we discuss realistic schedules during your estimate. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than rush through steps that affect your patio’s longevity.
Concrete pavers from manufacturers like Unilock and Cambridge offer the best balance of durability, warranty coverage, and design options for our climate. They’re engineered to handle salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV exposure without fading or deteriorating.
Natural stone like bluestone and granite provides unmatched elegance and literally improves with age, developing a patina that enhances rather than detracts from appearance. These materials have proven themselves in coastal environments for centuries.
Permeable pavers are gaining popularity for their environmental benefits and drainage performance. They handle Long Island’s heavy rains while looking identical to traditional pavers, making them ideal for areas with runoff concerns or municipal stormwater requirements.
We handle all permit requirements for patio installations in Northville and throughout Nassau County. Most basic patios don’t require permits, but projects near property lines, with significant drainage changes, or over certain square footage may need municipal approval.
Our experience with local building codes means we know which projects need permits and which don’t. We handle the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure everything meets code requirements before starting work.
This protects your investment and prevents issues when you sell your home. Proper permits and code compliance also ensure your homeowner’s insurance covers the work, which matters more than most people realize until they need to file a claim.
We work with all major paver manufacturers and can usually match existing materials or find complementary options that create a cohesive look. Bringing photos or samples helps us identify the exact product or closest current equivalent.
Sometimes discontinued colors or styles require creative solutions, like using the same manufacturer’s updated version or incorporating accent borders that tie everything together visually. Our design experience helps create unified outdoor spaces even when exact matches aren’t available.
Matching materials across driveways, walkways, and patios creates significant curb appeal and property value increases. It’s worth the extra effort to source the right products rather than settling for “close enough” results that look pieced together.
