Here's How We Build Patios Right

First, we excavate to the proper depth and prepare a solid base using crushed stone and sand. This foundation work is critical for Long Island installations because our soil moves with temperature changes.

Next, we install edge restraints to keep everything in place long-term. Then comes the careful placement of each paver, ensuring proper spacing and alignment. We use a plate compactor to set everything firmly.

Finally, we sweep polymeric sand into the joints and compact again. This locks the pavers together and prevents weed growth. The result is a patio that looks professional and stays that way for decades.

How long do paver patios last in Long Island weather?

A properly installed paver patio can last 25-50 years in Long Island’s climate. The key is correct base preparation and using quality materials that can handle our freeze-thaw cycles. Pavers actually perform better than poured concrete in our area because individual units can move slightly without cracking. When one paver does get damaged, you can replace just that piece instead of redoing the entire surface.
The difference is in the foundation work you can’t see. Quality installation means proper excavation depth, compacted crushed stone base, and correct sand leveling. Cheap jobs skip these steps and use inadequate base materials. You’ll see the difference in 2-3 years when cheap installations start settling and shifting. Quality work costs more upfront but saves you from having to redo the project later.
Proper drainage starts with grading the base so water flows away from your home and doesn’t pool on the patio surface. We create a slight slope during excavation and base preparation. Pavers also allow some water to drain through the joints, unlike solid concrete. For areas with drainage challenges, we can install drainage systems beneath the paver base to direct water where it needs to go.
Yes, pavers actually handle freeze-thaw better than poured concrete. Individual pavers can move slightly as the ground shifts without cracking. Concrete slabs crack because they’re rigid and can’t flex with ground movement. The key is proper base preparation with adequate crushed stone depth and correct compaction. This creates a stable foundation that drains well and doesn’t hold water that could freeze and cause problems.
Concrete pavers and natural stone both work well here when properly installed. Concrete pavers offer more design options and consistent sizing, while natural stone provides unique character. Both materials handle our weather well. The more important factor is choosing pavers with adequate thickness for your intended use and ensuring proper installation. We can help you select materials that match your style preferences and budget while delivering the durability you need.
Most residential paver patios take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one is excavation and base preparation. Day two involves setting the base materials and beginning paver installation. Remaining days focus on completing the paver placement and finishing work. Weather can affect timing, and we won’t rush critical steps like base preparation just to meet a schedule. Quality installation takes the time it takes.
