Driveways in Kensington, NY

Kensington's residential landscape is characterized by large homes — many exceeding 4,000 square feet — on lots that range from a third of an acre to over an acre. The village's streets, including Kenilworth Road, Beverly Road, and the lanes off Kensington Road, feature homes in Tudor, Colonial, Georgian, and Mediterranean styles, each demanding a driveway approach that complements the architecture.

The village shares the Great Neck peninsula's geology — glacial outwash and moraine deposits with variable drainage characteristics. Properties on higher ground generally have sandier, better-draining soils, while lower elevations can encounter clay that retains water and increases frost-heave risk. Brothers Paving evaluates soil conditions on every Kensington project and adjusts base specifications accordingly.

Kensington falls within the Great Neck Union Free School District, which is among the most highly ranked in New York State. This drives consistently strong property values and a homeowner culture that invests in quality improvements. A professionally installed driveway is one of the most impactful exterior upgrades — it sets the tone for the entire property from the street.

Premium asphalt with Belgian block borders in Kensington runs $8 to $15 per square foot. Paver driveways range from $25 to $45 per square foot. Full Belgian block driveways cost $20 to $35 per square foot. On Kensington's larger properties, total project costs for paver or stone driveways commonly range from $30,000 to $60,000.
