Concrete in Jericho, NY

Jericho's terrain is predominantly flat, which simplifies forming and pouring but demands precise surface grading to ensure proper drainage. Without adequate pitch away from foundations, water will pond on flat concrete surfaces or flow toward the house. Brothers Paving engineers every Jericho project with positive drainage — typically a minimum one-eighth inch per foot — and installs supplemental catch basins or channel drains where the lot layout constrains natural runoff.

The hamlet sits on well-draining glacial outwash soils that generally provide excellent support for concrete installations. The sandy gravel compacts well for subbase material and allows water to percolate away from the slab bottom, reducing frost heave risk. However, pockets of clay exist, particularly in areas closer to the moraine ridge, and we test conditions on each property before proceeding.

Many Jericho homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, meaning original concrete surfaces are 50 to 60 years old and showing significant deterioration — cracking, aging, settlement, and joint failure. These aging surfaces are prime candidates for demolition and replacement with modern decorative concrete that transforms the appearance and function of the outdoor space.

Jericho falls under Town of Oyster Bay jurisdiction for building permits. Brothers Paving handles all applications and ensures compliance with lot coverage and drainage requirements.
