You’re tired of looking at that unused patch of grass. You want somewhere to actually relax after work, host weekend barbecues, or just sit with your morning coffee without trudging through mud.
Professional patio pavers solve this. You get a clean, level surface that drains properly and looks good year after year. No more dealing with uneven concrete that cracks every winter or wooden decks that need constant staining.
Your new patio becomes the spot where you actually want to spend time. Where your kids play safely and your friends gather naturally. It’s not just about the pavers—it’s about getting your backyard back.
We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners since 2006. We started with chimneys and expanded into outdoor masonry because our customers kept asking for the same quality work on their patios and walkways.
Every job has an owner present. That means real accountability and someone who actually cares about getting it right. We’re licensed, insured, and have an A+ BBB rating because we do what we say we’ll do.
Melville homeowners choose us because we understand Long Island weather. We know how to build patios that handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. We prep the base properly and use materials that last decades, not years.
We start with a free estimate where we actually listen to what you want. Not what we think you should want—what you want. We measure everything, check drainage, and explain exactly what needs to happen.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, and it’s why their patios fail in three years. We remove the right amount of soil, compact the base in lifts, and ensure proper drainage before any pavers go down.
Installation happens with the right tools and techniques. Every paver gets leveled individually. Edge restraints go in properly. Sand gets swept and compacted correctly. When we’re done, you have a patio that looks great and stays that way.

Your patio installation includes proper base excavation, compacted stone base, sand leveling, professional paver installation, edge restraints, and final compaction. We handle permits if needed and clean up completely when we’re done.
Melville’s clay soil requires specific base preparation techniques that many contractors skip. We adjust our methods based on your property’s soil conditions and drainage needs. Your patio gets built to handle Long Island’s weather, not generic conditions.
We can integrate your patio with pool decks, walkways, and driveways for a cohesive outdoor living space. Many homeowners add fire pits, seating walls, or pergola footings while we’re there. It’s more efficient and often more cost-effective than separate projects.
Most Melville homeowners spend between $30-45 per square foot for professional paver installation, including materials and labor. This covers proper excavation, base preparation, quality pavers, and professional installation.
The final cost depends on paver material, patio size, and site conditions. Concrete pavers are the most budget-friendly option, while natural stone costs more but lasts longer. Complex designs or difficult access can increase labor costs.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. We also beat any written estimate from licensed competitors, so you know you’re getting fair pricing for quality work.
Concrete pavers and natural stone both handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles well when installed properly. The key isn’t just the material—it’s the installation quality and base preparation.
Concrete pavers offer the most design options and color choices. They’re engineered to be consistent and durable. Natural stone like bluestone or travertine provides a premium look and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.
We don’t recommend clay brick pavers for driveways due to Long Island’s weather, but they work fine for patios. The most important factor is proper base preparation and drainage—that’s what prevents cracking and shifting regardless of paver material.
Most patio installations take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. A simple 200 square foot patio usually takes 3-4 days. Larger patios or those with curves, steps, or multiple levels take longer.
Weather affects the timeline. We won’t install pavers in heavy rain or when temperatures are below freezing. This protects the quality of your installation and ensures proper base compaction.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the project. Most delays come from permit approvals or material delivery, not the actual installation work. We coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your routine.
Most simple patios don’t require permits in Melville, but regulations vary based on size, location, and proximity to property lines. Patios over certain sizes or those affecting drainage may need approval.
We handle permit research and applications when needed. It’s part of our service because we know local requirements and have relationships with municipal offices. This saves you time and ensures compliance.
The permit process typically adds 2-3 weeks to project start time but doesn’t affect the actual installation timeline. We use this time for material ordering and scheduling, so there’s no wasted time once we start work.
Paver maintenance is minimal but important for longevity. Regular sweeping prevents debris buildup. Occasional power washing removes stains and keeps pavers looking fresh. Resealing every 3-5 years protects against stains and weather damage.
Weed prevention is key. Proper installation with quality polymeric sand reduces weed growth between pavers. If weeds do appear, remove them promptly before they establish root systems that can shift pavers.
Winter maintenance involves removing snow promptly and avoiding metal shovels or ice melt products that can damage pavers. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your paver type and local conditions when we complete your installation.
Yes, pool patio installation is one of our specialties. We work around existing pools, spas, and other features without disrupting your current setup. Pool patios require specific drainage considerations and slip-resistant materials.
The process involves careful excavation near pool equipment and plumbing lines. We coordinate with pool companies when needed and ensure proper drainage away from pool structures. Safety is paramount when working near water features.
Pool patio projects often include coping replacement, step integration, and connections to existing walkways. We can match existing materials or create complementary designs that enhance your entire backyard space. Most pool patio projects take 4-6 days depending on complexity.
