Your pool area becomes the part of your property you actually want to use. No more standing water after rain. No more slippery concrete that makes you nervous every time the kids run out back.
The pavers stay level because the base was poured correctly the first time. Drainage flows away from your house and connects to your existing system. You’re not resealing every year or replacing sections that cracked after one winter.
When you walk out there barefoot, the surface has grip. When you host, people notice the space looks intentional. And when it rains, the water goes where it’s supposed to go.
We’ve been handling pool patio masonry in Suffolk County and Nassau County for nearly two decades. We’re not new to Bridgehampton’s soil conditions or what happens to hardscape when you’re this close to the water.
Every job is managed by the owners—Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams. We’re not sending a crew and disappearing. We’re on-site, making sure your base is right, your drainage works, and your pavers are going in the way they’re supposed to.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded. A+ rating with the BBB. And if something goes wrong at 9 p.m. on a Saturday, we answer the phone.
First, we come out and look at what you’re working with. We talk about drainage, grading, and whether your soil needs extra prep. If you’re near the water in Bridgehampton, we account for salt air and how that affects your materials over time.
Next, we design the layout. You pick your pavers—Cambridge, natural stone, whatever fits your style. We map out patterns, coping details, and how everything ties into your existing landscape.
Then we prep the base. For pool decks, that means poured concrete, not crushed stone. The soil around pools is disturbed during construction, and if the base isn’t stable, your pavers will settle. We don’t skip that step. Once the base is cured and drainage is installed, we lay the pavers, cut and fit everything tight, and seal the surface so it’s protected from staining and pool chemicals.
You get a walkthrough at the end. We show you how to maintain it, what to expect, and when you’ll need to reseal down the road.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting more than pavers. Custom pool coping and tile in Suffolk County means we handle the edge details—bullnose coping, natural stone caps, whatever ties the deck to the water. If your yard has elevation changes, we build pool retaining walls and handle grading so water doesn’t pool near your foundation.
Concrete pool surrounds in Nassau County get designed with drainage in mind. We’re not just laying a flat surface and calling it done. We slope it, connect it to your existing drainage, and make sure runoff doesn’t create problems later.
In Bridgehampton, that’s especially important. The clay soil here doesn’t drain well on its own. If your installer doesn’t account for that, you’ll have standing water every time it rains. We’ve been working in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Your pool patio gets built with those conditions in mind, not in spite of them.
If it’s done right, you’re looking at 25 to 30 years or more. That assumes you’re using professional-grade pavers rated for pool environments and the base was poured concrete, not crushed stone.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on anything that’s not installed correctly. Regular concrete cracks. Pavers on a weak base settle and shift. But when the base is solid and the materials are chosen for this climate, the deck holds up.
You’ll need to reseal every two to three years to protect against staining and keep the non-slip texture intact. That’s normal maintenance, not a sign something’s failing. If someone’s telling you their pool deck will last forever with zero upkeep, they’re not being straight with you.
Because the soil around a pool has been disturbed during excavation, and it doesn’t compact the same way undisturbed ground does. If you lay pavers on crushed stone around a pool, that base will shift over time as the soil settles.
For driveways and patios, crushed stone works fine. For pool decks, you need poured concrete. It’s more stable, it doesn’t move, and it gives you a solid foundation that won’t crack or sink when the ground shifts.
This is one of the most common mistakes we see when we’re called in to fix someone else’s work. The pavers look fine on the surface, but the base wasn’t right, and now sections are sinking or pulling apart. Rebuilding it costs more than doing it correctly the first time.
Standing water is the big one. Bridgehampton sits on clay soil, which doesn’t drain well naturally. If your pool deck isn’t sloped correctly or doesn’t have a proper drainage system, water will pool near the house or create slippery spots around the pool.
We install drainage that flows away from both the pool and your foundation. That usually means connecting to your existing drainage system or creating a new runoff path that directs water where it won’t cause problems.
If you’re close to the water, you also have to think about how salt air interacts with your materials. Some pavers and sealants break down faster in coastal conditions. We use materials that hold up, and we make sure your drainage system accounts for higher moisture levels year-round.
Coping is the edge where your deck meets the pool, and it takes more abuse than any other part of the install. It’s constantly exposed to water, pool chemicals, and temperature swings. If it’s not installed with the right materials and proper sealing, it cracks or stains within a few years.
We use bullnose coping or natural stone caps depending on your preference and what works with your pool design. Everything gets sealed to protect against chlorine and salt damage. The coping also has to be sloped slightly so water drains off instead of pooling along the edge.
Tile work around the waterline is another detail that matters. It’s not just decorative—it protects the pool structure and makes cleaning easier. We match the tile to your coping and deck so the whole space looks intentional, not like it was pieced together over time.
We specialize in masonry and hardscape, so this is what we do all day. A general contractor might subcontract the pool deck out to whoever’s available, and you’re hoping that crew knows what they’re doing.
We’ve been installing custom in-ground pools in Nassau County and Suffolk County since 2006. We know the soil conditions, the climate challenges, and what materials hold up in coastal areas like Bridgehampton. Every job is owner-managed, so you’re not dealing with a different crew every week.
We also handle the full scope—pool patio masonry, retaining walls, grading, coping, tile, drainage. You’re not coordinating between three different subcontractors and hoping they all show up on time. One team handles it start to finish, and if something needs adjusting, we’re the ones who fix it.
Depends on what’s failing and why. If a section has settled because the base wasn’t installed correctly, we can sometimes lift and relay that area. But if the whole deck is on a bad base or the drainage system is causing ongoing problems, patching one section won’t fix the underlying issue.
We’ll come out, assess what’s happening, and tell you whether a repair makes sense or if you’re better off rebuilding. If the pavers themselves are fine but the base has failed, we can salvage the materials and reinstall them on a proper foundation.
If the deck is old and you’re dealing with multiple issues—cracks, drainage problems, uneven surfaces—it’s usually more cost-effective to start fresh. You’ll get a longer-lasting result, better materials, and a warranty that covers both the install and the workmanship.
