Question 1

How long does a paver patio installation take on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

Most paver patio installations take between 3 and 7 days depending on the size and complexity of the project. A standard 300-square-foot patio typically takes about 3 to 4 days, while larger projects with raised sections, seating walls, or fire features may take a full week or more. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline, and we always plan our schedules to account for Long Island seasonal patterns.

Question 2

What type of pavers are best for Long Island patios?

Accepted Answer

For Long Island patios, we recommend interlocking concrete pavers or natural stone options like bluestone and travertine. Interlocking pavers are extremely durable and handle our freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well. They come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and patterns. Natural stone offers a timeless, elegant look and is equally durable when properly installed. During your consultation, we help you choose the best material based on your design preferences, budget, and how you plan to use the space.

Question 3

How much does a paver patio cost on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

Paver patio costs on Long Island typically range from $25 to $50 per square foot for standard installations and can go higher for premium materials or complex designs. The final price depends on factors like patio size, material selection, grade changes, drainage requirements, and additional features such as seating walls or fire pits. We provide detailed, transparent estimates after an on-site consultation so there are never any surprises.

Question 4

Do paver patios require a lot of maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Paver patios are one of the lowest-maintenance hardscaping options available. Routine care involves occasional sweeping, rinsing with a garden hose, and re-applying polymeric sand between joints every few years. We also recommend sealing your pavers every 2 to 3 years to protect against staining and enhance color. Unlike concrete slabs, if an individual paver is ever damaged, it can be easily replaced without disturbing the rest of the patio.

Question 5

Can you install a paver patio over an existing concrete slab?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. If the existing concrete slab is in good structural condition with no major cracks or settling, we can overlay pavers directly on top using a thin-set method. However, we always inspect the slab first. If there are drainage issues or significant damage, we may recommend removing the old concrete and building a proper paver base from scratch to ensure long-term performance.

Question 6

What is the best time of year to install a paver patio on Long Island?

Accepted Answer

The ideal season for paver patio installation on Long Island is spring through fall, roughly April through November. The ground needs to be unfrozen for proper excavation and base compaction. That said, we book up quickly during peak season, so we encourage homeowners to schedule their consultation in late winter or early spring to secure a spot on our calendar for the warmer months.
