We serve all of Suffolk County, NY, with a primary focus on the North Shore from Nesconset down to Shoreham — including Smithtown, St. James, Stony Brook, Setauket, Port Jefferson, Mount Sinai, Miller Place, Rocky Point, Commack, and Huntington. We also cover Central Suffolk, the South Shore, and out to the Hamptons. If you're nearby and not sure, just ask.

Yes. We work for homeowners and businesses alike — from family driveways, patios, and backyards through to commercial parking areas, entrance aprons, walkways, and frontages. Contact us with the details and we'll set up a free estimate.

Asphalt is a smooth, cost-effective, hard-wearing surface that goes down quickly. Paver driveways use interlocking concrete or stone units, offering far more design options and the ability to lift and reset individual pavers if needed. Both rely on a properly built base — we'll walk you through which suits your property and budget during a free estimate.

The base is everything. Most failed driveways and patios fail because the groundwork was rushed — not because of the surface itself. We excavate to the right depth, lay and compact a stable sub-base, and grade for drainage before any pavers or asphalt go down. That's what keeps the finished surface level and lasting through Long Island's freeze-thaw winters.

Yes. We build pool patios and pool decks using slip-resistant pavers and porcelain suited to wet, high-traffic areas, graded so water drains away from the pool and the house. We work around existing pools and coordinate with new pool installations.

Yes. Alongside driveways and patios, we build retaining walls, outdoor steps and stoops, walkways, fire pits, and full hardscape designs — often as part of one cohesive project so everything ties together.

Yes. Porcelain pavers are a modern, low-maintenance option that resists stains, fading, scratches, and frost and stays cool underfoot — a popular choice for pool surrounds and high-end patios. We can show you whether porcelain is right for your project during your free estimate.

Yes. We install drainage solutions including surface grading, channel and trench drains, catch basins, and dry wells to move water away from your home and hardscape. We can build drainage into a new project or solve an existing problem area.

Every property and project is different, so we provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Get in touch with the details of what you have in mind and we'll give you a clear price before any work begins.

We offer full hardscape design and installation — you don't need to come with a finished plan. Tell us how you want to use the space and we'll design and build it as one cohesive project, from groundwork to finishing touches.

It's how we approach every job: proper excavation and base preparation, quality materials, and clean, durable workmanship. We build hardscapes meant to stand up to years of Long Island weather and traffic — not just look good on day one.
