You know that feeling when you walk into your backyard and actually smile? That’s what happens when your patio works the way it should.
No more avoiding that cracked concrete eyesore. No more water pooling after every storm. No more making excuses about why you can’t host that barbecue you’ve been talking about.
When your paver patio is installed correctly, you get a space that looks better every season, handles whatever Long Island weather throws at it, and gives you a reason to spend time outside. Your friends will ask who did the work. Your neighbors will take notes. And you’ll wonder why you waited so long to fix what was bothering you every time you looked out the window.
Stone Escapes Masonry & Outdoor Design has been installing paver patios across Long Island for years. We understand what happens when you don’t prepare the base correctly for our sandy soil conditions.
We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on drainage. We know which materials hold up to our freeze-thaw cycles and which ones crack after the first winter.
That’s why we do the prep work other companies skip. It’s why we use proper base materials and take time to get the grading right. Because fixing someone else’s shortcuts costs you more than doing it right the first time.
First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade for drainage. This isn’t negotiable in Long Island – water has to go somewhere, and it can’t be toward your foundation.
Next comes the base preparation. We install and compact crushed stone in lifts, creating a stable foundation that won’t shift or settle. Then we add a leveling course of sand, screed it perfectly flat, and begin laying your pavers in the pattern you chose.
Every paver gets checked for level and alignment. We install edge restraints to keep everything locked in place, then sweep polymeric sand into the joints and compact the entire surface. Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you.
The whole process typically takes 3-5 days depending on size and complexity. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start.

We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, and clay brick – but not every material works well in every situation. Some pavers crack in our winters. Others stain easily or fade in direct sunlight.
We’ll walk you through options that make sense for your specific site conditions, budget, and style preferences. Whether you want the clean lines of modern concrete pavers, the classic look of natural stone, or something in between, we’ll explain what works and why.
You’ll also get straight answers about maintenance requirements, expected lifespan, and what your warranty covers. No surprises, no fine print you find out about later.
