Your driveway becomes more than just a path to your garage. It becomes a statement piece that welcomes guests and protects your investment for 50+ years.
No more worrying about cracks spreading every winter or water pooling after Long Island storms. Our paver driveways flex with freeze-thaw cycles instead of fighting them, giving you a surface that actually improves with age.
You get the peace of mind that comes with choosing materials designed for our climate, installed by contractors who understand West Hills soil conditions and drainage patterns.
We have been serving West Hills homeowners for nearly two decades, building a reputation on quality masonry work that stands the test of time.
Founded by childhood friends Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, we understand the unique challenges that Long Island properties face. From wooded lots with specific drainage needs to the harsh winters that destroy inferior installations, we’ve seen it all.
Every project gets personal attention from an owner, not just a crew supervisor. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded because your property deserves that level of protection and professionalism.
We start with a thorough assessment of your existing driveway and property drainage. This isn’t a quick look-around – we evaluate soil conditions, water flow patterns, and how your specific lot will affect the installation.
Next comes the foundation work that separates lasting installations from future headaches. We excavate to proper depth, install reinforced base materials, and create the drainage systems that prevent the problems we see with other contractors’ work.
The paver installation follows precise techniques developed over decades of Long Island projects. Each stone is set level, joints are properly spaced, and edges are secured to handle both daily traffic and snow plow contact. We finish with a thorough cleanup and maintenance guidance so you know exactly what to expect in the years ahead.

Our driveway paver services go beyond basic installation to include the finishing touches that make West Hills properties stand out.
Belgian block aprons create that classic Long Island look while providing practical benefits. They prevent gravel migration, add traction at the street entrance, and create a polished transition that neighbors notice. These granite blocks handle snow plows without damage and age beautifully over decades.
Driveway extensions and widening projects let you accommodate additional vehicles or create better traffic flow around your property. We match existing materials when possible or design complementary patterns that enhance your overall landscape design. Every project includes proper permits and drainage considerations specific to West Hills requirements.
A properly installed paver driveway in West Hills, NY can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The key is using materials designed for Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles and installing them with proper base preparation.
Unlike concrete or asphalt that crack under temperature stress, individual pavers can flex slightly with ground movement. This flexibility prevents the large cracks you see in solid surfaces after harsh winters. We use techniques and materials specifically chosen for Nassau County soil conditions and climate patterns.
Most West Hills homeowners find their paver driveways actually look better after a few years as the stones settle into their final positions and develop the weathered character that makes natural stone so appealing.
Paver driveways typically cost $10-50 per square foot installed, compared to $4-7 for asphalt in Nassau County. However, the long-term value equation strongly favors pavers for most West Hills properties.
While asphalt needs replacement every 15-20 years, a quality paver installation can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. You also avoid the ongoing costs of sealcoating, crack filling, and periodic resurfacing that asphalt requires. Factor in the increased property value and curb appeal, and pavers often prove more economical over time.
For budget-conscious homeowners, we offer creative solutions like paver aprons with asphalt centers, or phased installations that spread costs over multiple seasons while still achieving the look you want.
Yes, Belgian block aprons can often be added to existing driveways as long as the current surface is structurally sound. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically improve your driveway’s appearance and functionality.
We evaluate your existing driveway’s condition, drainage patterns, and edge stability before recommending the best approach. Sometimes we can work with what’s there, other times partial reconstruction of the edges provides a better long-term result. The installation requires proper excavation, concrete base work, and mortar setting to handle vehicle traffic and snow plow contact.
Belgian block aprons typically cost a fraction of full driveway replacement while delivering significant visual impact. They also solve practical problems like gravel migration and provide better traction at the street entrance where ice tends to form.
Proper drainage is critical for any driveway in West Hills, NY, and it’s where we see most other contractors cut corners. We design every installation to work with your property’s natural water flow patterns, not against them.
The base preparation includes graded stone layers that channel water away from your foundation and prevent pooling that leads to ice formation. Permeable pavers can be used where appropriate to allow water infiltration, reducing runoff that overwhelms storm systems during heavy rains.
We also coordinate with any necessary permits and ensure compliance with West Hills drainage requirements. Every project includes proper slope calculations, edge drainage solutions, and connections to existing storm systems where needed. Poor drainage destroys even the best materials, so we never compromise on this foundation work.
Paver driveways require surprisingly little maintenance compared to other driveway materials, especially when properly installed with quality base work and joint materials.
Annual maintenance typically involves sweeping debris from joints, occasional re-sanding with polymeric sand to prevent weed growth, and gentle cleaning with water or mild detergent for stains. Unlike asphalt, there’s no need for regular sealcoating or crack filling. Individual damaged pavers can be replaced without affecting surrounding stones.
Winter care is straightforward – avoid metal snow shovels that can chip edges, and use ice melt products sparingly. The natural texture of most pavers provides good traction even when wet, and proper drainage prevents the ice dams that plague other driveway materials. Most West Hills homeowners find their pavers need less attention than they expected.
Yes, we understand that quality driveway installation represents a significant investment, and we work with homeowners to make these projects financially manageable through various payment options.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Our pricing is competitive, and we offer a price-matching guarantee on comparable installations from licensed, insured contractors.
For larger projects, we can discuss phased installation approaches that spread work over multiple seasons, allowing you to budget more comfortably while still achieving your goals. We also accept various payment methods and can provide referrals to financing companies that specialize in home improvement projects when appropriate.
