Professional paver installation designed for Long Island weather and your lifestyle.
Hear from Our Customers
You want a patio that looks great and stays that way. Not one that starts sinking after the first winter or develops drainage problems that turn your backyard into a swamp.
When patio pavers are installed correctly, you get a surface that handles everything Long Island weather throws at it. Proper base preparation means no settling or shifting when the ground freezes and thaws. Good drainage design keeps water moving away from your foundation instead of pooling where you don’t want it.
The result is an outdoor space you can count on for entertaining, relaxing, and adding real value to your property. No ongoing headaches, no constant repairs, just a patio that works the way it should.
Stone Escapes Masonry & Outdoor Design Inc focuses on one thing: creating outdoor spaces that work for Long Island homeowners. We’ve built our reputation in Ridge and surrounding areas by understanding what it takes to install pavers that last in this climate.
Every project starts with proper planning. We know how sandy soil behaves, how freeze-thaw cycles affect different materials, and what drainage solutions work best for local conditions. This isn’t guesswork – it’s experience applied to your specific situation.
The process starts with a site visit to assess your space, drainage needs, and design preferences. This isn’t a quick sales pitch – it’s a real evaluation of what your property needs and what will work best for your situation.
Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We remove soil to the proper depth, install a graded stone base, and ensure proper drainage before any pavers go down. Getting this foundation right is what separates installations that last from ones that fail.
Finally, pavers are laid according to your chosen pattern, edges are secured, and joints are filled with appropriate materials. The finished surface is compacted and cleaned, leaving you with a patio that’s ready to use and built to handle whatever weather comes next.
