Driveways in Hicksville, NY

Hicksville is a large, centrally located hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay — one of Nassau County's busiest communities with a major LIRR hub, thriving commercial strips along Broadway and Jerusalem Avenue, and a vast residential grid of post-war homes. The hamlet's housing stock was built overwhelmingly during the 1950s suburban boom, with ranches, Cape Cods, and split-levels on standard lots that have been home to generations of families.

After 60 to 70 years of Long Island weather, many Hicksville driveways are in serious disrepair — cracked, alligatored, oil-stained, and sinking at the edges or near the garage. Decades of patches and thin overlays have created layered surfaces that trap moisture, accelerate deterioration, and create trip hazards. Brothers Paving strips everything down to native subgrade and rebuilds from a proper foundation.

Hicksville sits on glacial outwash soils that are predominantly sandy with generally good drainage. The Town of Oyster Bay governs the hamlet, and driveway apron work requires coordination with the town highway department. Brothers Paving handles all permits and town coordination as part of every Hicksville project. We typically install 8 to 10 inches of compacted aggregate base, adjusting specifications when we encounter fill material or denser soils during excavation.

Hicksville's central location, LIRR access, and diverse community make it a strong market for homeowner investment. Property values have risen significantly as the hamlet benefits from Nassau County's overall growth. A new driveway is one of the most visible and practical improvements you can make — and in a community with thousands of aging driveways, a fresh, properly built surface stands out immediately.
