Outdoor Living in Old Westbury, NY

Old Westbury's estate lots — many ranging from two to twenty acres — provide an unmatched canvas for outdoor living design. Properties along Store Hill Road, Wheatley Road, and Old Westbury Road feature the kind of space where we can create a kitchen terrace near the house, a fireplace patio set among specimen trees fifty yards away, and a fire pit lounge positioned to capture sunset views across the rolling grounds, all connected by lit paver walkways.

The terrain in Old Westbury is gently rolling with mature hardwood forests, open meadows, and manicured grounds that give every property a park-like quality. Our designs work with this landscape rather than against it — positioning fireplaces at the edge of tree lines, tucking fire pits into natural clearings, and using the subtle grade changes to create terraced outdoor rooms that feel both intimate and expansive.

Old Westbury's inland location, protected from coastal salt exposure, opens the full palette of materials and finishes. We use natural bluestone, Connecticut fieldstone, Pennsylvania flagstone, and premium manufactured veneers without the marine-grade restrictions required in waterfront communities. Hardwood pergolas in cedar, mahogany, and ipe perform beautifully here, aging to silver-gray patinas that complement the estate aesthetic.

Old Westbury falls under the Village of Old Westbury jurisdiction, which enforces its own zoning code, building requirements, and architectural review. Setbacks, lot coverage, and structure height limits apply to outdoor kitchens, pavilions, and fireplaces. Brothers Paving manages the full permit process and coordinates with village officials to ensure every project is approved and compliant before construction begins.
