Professional driveways for Plandome Heights homeowners. Elevated hillside village, Manhasset Bay views, steep terrain
Plandome Heights is a quiet, tree-lined village on Long Island's Gold Coast where every property detail matters — and the driveway is the first impression. Brothers Paving & Masonry provides driveway installation and replacement services in Plandome Heights that are engineered for the village's specific terrain, built with premium materials, and finished to a standard that complements the area's distinguished residential character.
We install asphalt driveways with proper crown and Belgian block borders, interlocking paver driveways from manufacturers like Cambridge, Belgard, and Unilock, and concrete driveways with exposed aggregate or stamped finishes. Our Plandome Heights projects range from straightforward asphalt resurfacing on existing driveways to complete tear-out and rebuild with full-depth paver systems, heated sections, and integrated landscape lighting along the driveway edge.
Every driveway we construct in Plandome Heights follows a structural protocol built for Long Island conditions: full excavation to stable subgrade, geotextile fabric separation, compacted RCA or crushed aggregate base to a minimum depth of 8 inches, and precision surface installation — whether hot-mix asphalt, concrete, or individually set pavers. We do not cut corners on base work because that is what determines whether a driveway lasts 5 years or 25.
Plandome Heights sits on elevated terrain between Plandome and Manhasset, with gently sloped lots that provide natural drainage advantages but also create grading challenges for driveway installation. Properties along Grandview Avenue and Plandome Court often have steep driveway approaches from the street that require careful pitch engineering to prevent water from pooling against garages or sheeting across the surface during heavy rains.
The village's homes are predominantly mid-century colonials and expanded ranches on lots that typically exceed a quarter acre. Many original driveways are 50 to 70 years old and have exceeded their service life — showing alligator cracking, edge deterioration, and settlement from decades of freeze-thaw cycling on Long Island's glacial soils. Brothers Paving specializes in complete driveway replacement for exactly these conditions.
Plandome Heights homeowners value discretion and quality over flash. Our approach here focuses on clean, well-proportioned driveway designs with premium materials and meticulous edges — Belgian block borders on asphalt installations, soldier course borders on paver driveways, and clean-cut expansion joints on concrete surfaces. The details are subtle but they separate a professional installation from a generic one.
With home values in Plandome Heights consistently above $1 million, driveway condition directly impacts first impressions and appraisal values. Asphalt driveways with Belgian block borders in Plandome Heights typically run $8 to $15 per square foot, while full paver driveways range from $25 to $45 per square foot depending on material tier and site complexity.

Learn MorePlandome Heights' elevated position on the North Shore moraine means soils are a mix of glacial till and sandy loam, generally well-draining but with occasional clay lenses that trap water. The village's sloped lots require careful grading to manage stormwater runoff — water must be directed away from both the home foundation and the street without creating erosion paths. We engineer every Plandome Heights driveway with proper cross-slope and longitudinal pitch, adding catch basins or trench drains at the garage threshold where grade changes create ponding risk.
