Your backyard becomes the place your family gravitates toward every evening. No more staring at unused grass or cracked concrete that’s an eyesore instead of an asset.
You get a beautiful, functional patio that handles everything from quiet morning coffee to weekend barbecues with friends. The pavers we install are designed specifically for Long Island’s climate, so they won’t shift, crack, or fade like cheaper alternatives.
Your property value increases immediately, and you gain years of low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment that actually enhances your daily life instead of creating more work.
We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners since 2006, and we understand exactly what works in Selden’s unique conditions. The sandy coastal soil and harsh freeze-thaw cycles here require specific installation techniques that many contractors simply don’t know.
Every project is handled personally by one of our owners, Bobby or Sherwood. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded, with an A+ BBB rating and hundreds of satisfied customers throughout Suffolk County.
When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who live and work in this community. We’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears after the job is done.
We start with proper excavation—typically 8 to 10 inches deep—because Long Island’s sandy soil and moisture fluctuations demand a solid foundation. Most patio failures happen because contractors skip this critical step.
Next, we install the base layers using proven techniques that handle our freeze-thaw cycles. We’re not just laying pavers on sand and hoping for the best. Our base preparation accounts for drainage, soil movement, and the specific challenges of coastal Long Island conditions.
Finally, we install your pavers using industry-best practices. Proper spacing, leveling, and edge restraints. You get a finished patio that looks great immediately and stays that way for decades, not just the first few seasons.

Your patio installation includes complete site preparation, proper base installation, professional paver laying, and all necessary edge work and finishing. We handle permits if required and coordinate any utility markings before we start digging.
In Selden, we often recommend permeable pavers for areas with drainage challenges, especially near the many ranch and colonial homes that dominate the neighborhood. These pavers help manage the heavy rainfall Long Island receives while preventing water from pooling against your foundation.
We also handle related upgrades like connecting walkways to your driveway, pool patio extensions, and pergola foundations. Many of our Selden customers combine their patio project with other outdoor improvements to create a complete backyard transformation that matches their home’s style.
Concrete pavers and natural stone are your best options for Long Island’s climate. Concrete pavers are engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, while natural stone like bluestone offers timeless appeal and excellent durability.
We don’t recommend basic brick pavers for patios here because they’re more susceptible to moisture damage and shifting. The pavers we install are specifically rated for our climate zone and come with manufacturer warranties.
For pool areas or high-traffic zones, we often suggest textured pavers that provide better slip resistance. This is especially important during Long Island’s humid summers when surfaces can become slippery.
Most patio projects take 3 to 5 days, depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Days two and three focus on base installation and leveling. The final days involve paver installation and finishing work.
Weather can affect timing, especially during spring when Long Island gets frequent rain. We don’t rush installations to meet arbitrary deadlines because proper curing time for the base is critical for long-term performance.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We always clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. Your yard won’t be a construction zone any longer than necessary.
Yes, professional patio installations typically return 60-70% of their cost in increased home value, and often much more in Selden’s competitive real estate market. Outdoor living spaces are especially valuable here because of our proximity to beaches and the Long Island lifestyle.
A well-designed patio makes your home stand out from the many similar ranch and colonial homes in the area. Buyers specifically look for move-in ready outdoor spaces, and a professional paver patio signals that the home has been well-maintained.
The key is professional installation with quality materials. DIY or budget installations actually hurt property values because buyers see them as future problems they’ll need to fix.
Paver patios are remarkably low-maintenance when installed correctly. You’ll need to sweep regularly and occasionally rinse with a hose. Once a year, apply fresh joint sand between pavers to keep everything tight and prevent weed growth.
Every 2-3 years, consider having the pavers sealed to maintain color and make cleaning easier. This is especially important in Long Island’s humid climate where algae and mildew can develop on unsealed surfaces.
If individual pavers ever crack or stain, they can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the patio. This is a huge advantage over concrete slabs, which require complete replacement when damaged.
Absolutely. Pool patio renovations are one of our specialties, and we work around existing pools, landscaping, and pool equipment. We’re experienced with the specific challenges of pool deck installations, including proper drainage away from the pool and slip-resistant surface requirements.
Many Selden homeowners upgrade their pool areas because the original concrete is cracking or becoming slippery. Pavers provide better traction and can be designed to complement your home’s architecture while meeting all local pool safety requirements.
We coordinate with pool companies if any equipment needs to be temporarily moved. We ensure all work meets Suffolk County codes for pool deck installations.
Patio costs vary based on size, paver type, and site conditions, but most Selden projects range from $15-25 per square foot for complete installation. This includes excavation, base preparation, pavers, and all finishing work.
Higher-end natural stone or complex patterns cost more, while standard concrete pavers in simple patterns are more budget-friendly. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We offer free estimates and will beat any written quote from licensed, insured competitors. Most customers find our pricing competitive when they compare the quality of our installation process and materials.
