No more embarrassing cracks greeting your guests. No more worrying about chunks of concrete breaking off every winter. Your new paver driveway handles everything Long Island weather throws at it—snow, ice, salt, and summer heat—while looking better every year.
You get a surface that’s actually safer to walk and drive on, even when wet. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged without tearing up your entire driveway. Most importantly, you get the curb appeal that makes your neighbors jealous and adds real value to your home.
The best part? You can drive on it immediately after installation. No waiting days for concrete to cure or worrying about tire marks on fresh asphalt.
We’ve been transforming Glen Cove driveways since 2006. We’re not just another paving company—we’re masonry specialists who understand exactly how Nassau County’s coastal weather affects your driveway over time.
Every job is owner-managed by Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, childhood friends who built this company on doing things right the first time. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded, with an A+ BBB rating and hundreds of satisfied Long Island homeowners who trust us with their most important investment.
Glen Cove homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, explain exactly what we’re doing, and clean up like we were never there. Your project gets personal attention from people who live and work in your community.
We start with a free estimate where we measure your space, discuss your vision, and explain your options. No pressure, no surprises—just honest answers about what your project will cost and how long it’ll take.
Next, we excavate your old driveway and prepare a proper base. This foundation work is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s what makes the difference between a driveway that lasts 10 years versus 50 years. We use the right materials and proper drainage techniques that work in Glen Cove’s soil conditions.
Then we install your pavers with precision. Each stone is set level and locked in place. We add Belgian block borders if you want that classic Long Island look. Finally, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints and compact everything for a rock-solid finish.
You’ll know exactly what to expect for maintenance, which is basically just occasional pressure washing. We provide written documentation of everything we did, so you have records for insurance and future reference.

Your driveway project includes everything you need for a professional result. We handle full driveway replacement, driveway extensions for additional parking, and Belgian block aprons that create that distinctive Long Island entrance look.
Glen Cove’s location near the water means your driveway faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates concrete deterioration, and freeze-thaw cycles are particularly harsh here. Our paver installations are designed specifically for these conditions, using materials and techniques that have proven successful in coastal Nassau County environments.
We source our pavers and Belgian blocks from established Long Island suppliers who understand local requirements. This means better availability, faster delivery, and materials that are proven to perform in your specific climate. Whether you want classic gray pavers, decorative patterns, or natural stone looks, we have options that work beautifully with Glen Cove’s architectural styles.
Every installation includes proper drainage solutions, edge restraints, and joint stabilization. You’re not just getting pavers—you’re getting a complete system engineered to last decades in Long Island conditions.
Driveway pavers typically cost $10-30 per square foot installed, depending on the materials you choose and your driveway’s size and complexity. A standard two-car driveway runs $6,000-18,000, which is more than asphalt ($7-13 per square foot) but delivers much better long-term value.
The higher upfront cost pays off because pavers last 25-75 years with minimal maintenance, while asphalt needs resurfacing every 10-15 years. When you factor in the increased home value and lower lifetime maintenance costs, pavers often cost less over time. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you can make an informed decision.
Pavers are the main surface material for your driveway—flat stones that interlock to create a smooth driving surface. Belgian blocks are rectangular granite stones used for borders, aprons, and edging that give your driveway that classic Long Island look.
Belgian block aprons are installed at the street entrance of your driveway, creating a defined transition from the road to your paver surface. They’re extremely durable, provide excellent traction, and add significant visual appeal. Many Glen Cove homeowners combine both—paver surfaces for the main driveway with Belgian block borders and aprons for that polished, traditional appearance that’s popular in Nassau County.
Properly installed paver driveways last 25-75 years in Long Island conditions, significantly longer than asphalt (15-30 years) or concrete (30-40 years). The key is professional installation with proper base preparation and drainage designed for our coastal climate.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and heavy snow loads are tough on driveways, but pavers handle these conditions better than other materials. Individual pavers can expand and contract without cracking, and if one gets damaged, you can replace just that piece without disturbing the rest of your driveway. With basic maintenance like occasional pressure washing and joint sand renewal every few years, your paver driveway will look great for decades.
In some cases, yes, but it depends on your existing driveway’s condition and proper elevation considerations. If your concrete is structurally sound without major settling or cracking, we can sometimes install pavers over it after proper preparation.
However, this adds height to your driveway, which can create drainage issues or problems with garage clearance. Often, it’s better to remove the old concrete and start fresh with proper base preparation. This ensures optimal drainage, proper elevation, and maximum lifespan for your new paver installation. We’ll assess your specific situation during our free estimate and recommend the best approach for your Glen Cove property.
Absolutely. We regularly handle driveway extensions and widening projects for Glen Cove homeowners who need additional parking or want to improve their driveway’s functionality. This is especially common when families add vehicles or want easier access to garages and side entrances.
Driveway extensions require careful planning to match existing grades, ensure proper drainage, and comply with local setback requirements. We coordinate with Glen Cove building departments when permits are needed and make sure new work integrates seamlessly with your existing landscape. Whether you’re extending toward the street, widening for better access, or adding a parking pad, we handle the entire project from design through completion.
Paver driveway maintenance is surprisingly simple. Basic care includes occasional pressure washing to remove dirt and debris, and reapplying polymeric sand to the joints every 3-5 years to keep pavers locked in place and prevent weed growth.
In Glen Cove’s coastal environment, you might need to rinse salt residue more frequently during winter months to prevent buildup. Unlike asphalt that needs sealcoating every few years or concrete that can develop permanent stains, pavers are naturally resistant to most damage. If a paver gets stained or damaged, you can replace just that piece. Most Glen Cove homeowners find paver maintenance much easier than dealing with asphalt repairs or concrete crack sealing.
