No more embarrassing cracks that collect water and ice. No more worrying about guests navigating unsafe holes in your driveway. No more dreading snow removal because you can’t get a clean scrape.
Your new paver driveway changes everything. You pull into a smooth, level surface that looks incredible from the street. Water drains properly instead of pooling in cracked asphalt. Snow removal becomes simple because there are no uneven surfaces to catch your shovel or plow.
Most importantly, you stop losing money. Cracked driveways hurt your property value and cost more to maintain every year. Pavers solve both problems permanently.
Since 2003, we’ve been the go-to choice for Old Brookville homeowners who want their driveways done right the first time. We’re not just another paving company – we’re masonry specialists who understand what it takes to build driveways that last in Long Island’s challenging climate.
Every job gets an owner on-site, not just a crew. That’s how we’ve maintained our A+ BBB rating and earned Angie’s List awards year after year. When you’re investing in your home’s most visible feature, you want contractors who care as much as you do.
Old Brookville properties deserve the best, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
We start by completely removing your old driveway – no shortcuts or patches that fail in two years. Next comes proper excavation and grading, because drainage determines how long your driveway lasts.
The base gets multiple layers of compacted stone, creating a foundation that won’t shift or settle. Then we install your pavers with precise spacing and proper edge restraints. Belgian block borders go in last, creating that finished look that makes Old Brookville neighbors stop and stare.
Every step follows industry standards, not the quick-and-cheap methods that cause callbacks. When we’re done, you get a driveway that performs beautifully for decades, not just until the first freeze-thaw cycle.

Your paver driveway includes professional design consultation to choose colors and patterns that complement your home’s architecture. We handle all permits and coordinate with utility companies for any necessary markings.
Belgian block aprons at your street entrance provide extra traction and create that upscale appearance Old Brookville is known for. Proper drainage systems prevent water damage and ice formation. Edge restraints keep everything locked in place.
Old Brookville’s estate-style homes require attention to detail that most contractors skip. We include features like decorative borders, proper transitions to existing walkways, and coordination with your landscape design. The result is a driveway that looks like it was always part of your property’s master plan.
Properly installed paver driveways easily last 25-30 years in Long Island’s freeze-thaw conditions, often longer with basic maintenance. Unlike asphalt that cracks and concrete that develops joint failures, individual pavers can flex with temperature changes without breaking.
The key is professional installation with proper base preparation and drainage. We excavate to the right depth, install multiple layers of compacted stone, and ensure water flows away from your foundation. Belgian block edges provide additional stability and prevent the base from shifting over time.
When a paver does get damaged – maybe from a heavy delivery truck or ice damage – you can replace just that piece instead of repaving your entire driveway.
Regular pavers form the main driving surface and come in various sizes, colors, and textures to match your home’s style. Belgian blocks are smaller, cube-shaped granite pieces that create borders, aprons, and decorative accents.
Belgian block aprons at your street entrance serve two purposes: they provide extra traction where you turn from the road onto your driveway, and they create a premium appearance that signals quality to anyone approaching your home. The contrast between smooth pavers and textured Belgian blocks adds visual interest.
In Old Brookville’s upscale market, Belgian block details are expected on quality installations. They’re also incredibly durable – many of the original Belgian block streets in New York City are still in use after more than a century.
Absolutely, and it’s one of our most popular services for Old Brookville homeowners who need more parking or better access. Driveway extensions work particularly well with pavers because we can create seamless transitions and custom shapes that follow your property’s natural contours.
We typically remove the existing driveway entirely and start fresh, which gives you better long-term results than trying to match new pavers to old asphalt. This approach also lets us improve drainage and create a more functional layout for your specific needs.
Popular extensions include wider aprons for easier turning, circular areas for guest parking, and connections to new garage additions. Each project gets designed specifically for your property and daily usage patterns.
Paver driveways are actually easier to maintain in winter than asphalt or concrete surfaces. The textured surface provides better traction, and proper installation includes drainage that prevents ice formation in problem areas.
Snow plowing works normally – just avoid using metal blades directly on the pavers. Most homeowners use rubber-edged plows or hire services that know how to handle paver surfaces. Salt and ice melt products are fine to use, though sand provides traction without any chemical concerns.
The biggest advantage is durability. Freeze-thaw cycles that crack asphalt and concrete don’t damage properly installed pavers. You won’t deal with the annual spring ritual of assessing winter damage and planning repairs.
Most driveway replacements in Old Brookville require a building permit, especially if you’re changing the footprint or drainage patterns. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with the village building department to ensure everything meets local codes.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and includes review of drainage plans, setback requirements, and compliance with any homeowner association guidelines. Some properties in historic districts have additional requirements for materials and design.
We also coordinate with utility companies for marking underground lines and ensure your new driveway meets current accessibility standards. Taking care of permits upfront prevents delays and ensures your project adds value to your property without any compliance issues.
Paver driveways typically cost 2-3 times more than basic asphalt initially, but the long-term value equation is completely different. While asphalt needs seal coating every 2-3 years and replacement every 15-20 years, pavers can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.
Factor in the increased property value – real estate agents consistently report that quality paver driveways add significantly more to home values than the installation cost. In Old Brookville’s market, buyers expect premium materials and will pay accordingly.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs, including proper base preparation, drainage, and Belgian block accents. Most homeowners are surprised how reasonable the investment becomes when you consider the longevity and property value benefits.
