Your pool area becomes the safe, stunning centerpiece of your backyard. No more worrying about slippery surfaces when kids are running around wet. No more standing water that turns your deck into a hazard zone.
You get pavers specifically chosen for Long Island’s weather – materials that stay cool under your feet even on those brutal July afternoons. Every joint is properly spaced, every slope calculated to guide water exactly where it needs to go.
The result? A pool deck that looks incredible and performs flawlessly, year after year. Your investment pays off in safety, beauty, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it was done right the first time.
We’ve been transforming Long Island pool areas since 2006. We’re the masonry specialists who understand exactly what Mastic homeowners need – materials that handle our humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and everything in between.
Our team knows Long Island. We’ve worked in neighborhoods just like yours, solving the same drainage challenges and safety concerns you’re facing. We’re A-rated with the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List because we show up on time, do the work right, and clean up like we were never there.
When you call us, you’re getting owners Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams – not just a crew. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded because your property and your family’s safety matter to us.
We start with your existing space and your safety concerns. During our free consultation, we assess drainage issues, measure for proper slopes, and discuss the best paver materials for your specific situation.
Next comes the foundation work – the part that separates professional installations from DIY disasters. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and create the precise grading that keeps water flowing away from your pool deck instead of pooling on it.
Then we install your pavers with the spacing and joint materials that lock everything in place. Every piece is level, every gap is calculated, and every edge is finished to perfection. We test the drainage, seal what needs sealing, and walk you through maintenance so your new pool deck stays beautiful for decades.

You get more than just pavers. You get a complete drainage solution designed for Mastic’s specific conditions – the sandy soil, the occasional flooding from coastal storms, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy improperly installed surfaces.
We include proper base preparation, precise grading for water flow, and professional-grade joint materials that prevent weeds and keep everything locked in place. Your pavers are chosen specifically for pool areas – slip-resistant when wet, comfortable for bare feet, and able to handle pool chemicals without staining or deteriorating.
Every project includes coping installation where needed, transition work to connect with existing surfaces, and a thorough cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it. We also provide maintenance guidance so you know exactly how to keep your investment looking and performing its best.
Pool pavers offer superior safety through their naturally textured surfaces and proper drainage capabilities. Unlike smooth concrete or tile that becomes dangerously slippery when wet, quality pavers are designed with micro-textures that provide grip even when your kids are running around with wet feet.
The real safety advantage comes from professional installation with proper drainage slopes. When water doesn’t pool on your deck, you eliminate the biggest slip hazard around pools. We install every paver with calculated spacing and grading that guides water away from walking surfaces, keeping your deck safer and drier.
Individual pavers also mean no large crack formations like you get with concrete. If one paver gets damaged, we can replace just that piece without tearing up your entire deck.
Drainage is critical in Mastic because of our sandy soil and proximity to water. We create subtle slopes – usually about 1/4 inch per foot – that direct water away from the pool and toward appropriate drainage areas without creating uncomfortable walking surfaces.
We also install proper base materials that allow water to percolate down rather than sitting on top. This is especially important during our heavy summer storms and spring snowmelt. The base preparation includes compacted stone and sand layers that create a stable foundation while allowing proper water movement.
Around the pool coping, we pay special attention to directing splash water away from the deck surface. This prevents the standing water that creates slip hazards and keeps your pool area usable even right after swimming.
For Long Island’s climate, we typically recommend travertine, textured concrete pavers, or natural stone options that handle our freeze-thaw cycles and stay cool underfoot. Travertine is particularly popular because it naturally stays cooler than concrete and has excellent slip resistance even when wet.
Concrete pavers with textured finishes are another excellent choice – they’re cost-effective, available in many styles, and when properly sealed, they resist pool chemicals and weather damage. We avoid smooth surfaces and dark colors that get uncomfortably hot in summer sun.
The key is choosing materials that are specifically rated for pool use and can handle constant moisture exposure. We’ll recommend the best options based on your budget, style preferences, and specific site conditions during our consultation.
Most pool patio projects in Mastic take 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity of your deck area. The timeline includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, and final cleanup. Weather can affect the schedule, especially during base preparation when we need dry conditions.
We work efficiently because we understand you want your pool area back as quickly as possible. Our experienced crew knows exactly how to stage the work to minimize disruption to your property and your family’s routine. We’ll give you a detailed timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.
The base preparation typically takes the longest – this is the foundation work that ensures your pavers won’t shift or settle over time. We never rush this phase because it’s what separates professional installations from projects that fail within a few years.
Yes, pool coping is often a critical part of pool patio projects. Coping is the finished edge around your pool that provides a safe transition between the water and your deck surface. We install new coping or replace damaged coping as part of comprehensive pool deck renovations.
Proper coping installation is essential for both safety and water management. We ensure the coping has the right overhang to direct water away from the pool structure and create a comfortable edge for swimmers entering and exiting the pool. The materials need to be slip-resistant and comfortable for bare skin.
We work with various coping materials including natural stone, concrete, and brick to match your paver selection and create a cohesive look. During your consultation, we’ll assess your current coping condition and recommend whether repair or replacement is needed.
Pool pavers in Long Island need seasonal attention but are generally low-maintenance when properly installed. Spring cleaning involves power washing to remove winter debris and checking for any pavers that may have shifted during freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend resealing every 2-3 years to maintain stain resistance and color.
Summer maintenance is minimal – regular sweeping and occasional hosing down to remove pool chemicals and sunscreen residue. The key is addressing any issues quickly before they become bigger problems. Small weeds between joints should be removed promptly, and any standing water areas should be addressed immediately.
Fall preparation includes thorough cleaning and inspection before winter weather arrives. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every installation and are always available for questions or touch-up work to keep your investment looking and performing its best.
