Raised Patios

A raised paver patio is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your Long Island home. By elevating the patio surface above the natural grade of your yard, a raised patio creates a distinct, defined outdoor living area that feels like a true extension of your interior space. At Brothers Paving, we have built hundreds of raised patios across Nassau and Suffolk County, and we bring expert craftsmanship and thoughtful design to every project.

Raised patios solve a number of common challenges that Long Island homeowners face. If your yard slopes away from the house, a raised patio eliminates the awkward step-down that comes with a ground-level installation. It creates a level, usable surface right outside your back door, providing a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. For homes with walkout basements, a raised patio with structural support allows you to enjoy a spacious deck-like area without sacrificing the basement entrance below.

One of the greatest benefits of a raised patio is the dramatic improvement it makes to your property value. Real estate professionals consistently rank outdoor living spaces among the top features buyers look for, and a well-built raised patio immediately elevates the perceived value and curb appeal of your home. It signals quality construction and thoughtful design, two things that set your property apart in the competitive Long Island market.

Our process begins with an on-site consultation where we evaluate your yard, discuss your vision, and take detailed measurements. We then create a custom design that addresses grading, drainage, and structural requirements. The construction process starts with excavation and the installation of a compacted aggregate base. For raised patios, we build retaining walls or support walls along the perimeter using interlocking wall block, natural stone, or poured concrete footings depending on the height and design. These walls are engineered to handle the lateral pressure from the fill material and the weight of the patio surface above.

We offer a wide range of paver styles, colors, and patterns to match your aesthetic preferences. Popular choices for raised patios on Long Island include Belgard, Cambridge, and Unilock interlocking pavers in herringbone, running bond, or basketweave patterns. Natural stone options like bluestone and travertine deliver a more classic, upscale look. We also incorporate decorative borders, contrasting inlays, and custom patterns to add visual interest and make your patio truly one of a kind.

Long Island weather demands materials and methods that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and coastal humidity. Every raised patio we build includes proper drainage solutions, whether that means grading the surface for runoff, installing channel drains, or integrating a drainage system within the retaining walls. We use high-quality geotextile fabric to separate the base layers and prevent soil migration, ensuring the structural integrity of your patio for decades to come.

Maintenance for a raised patio is straightforward. Periodic sweeping, occasional power washing, and re-sanding joints with polymeric sand every few years will keep your patio looking fresh. We also offer optional paver sealing services that protect against stains, enhance color vibrancy, and make ongoing cleanup even easier.
