Pool Hardscape in Old Westbury, NY

Old Westbury sits on the Wheatley Hills, a rolling landscape of glacial moraine deposits that creates varied soil conditions across individual properties. Many estates in Old Westbury have clay-heavy subsoils beneath a thin topsoil layer, which traps water around pool excavations and causes significant frost heave damage to rigid pool decks during winter. Brothers Paving's flexible paver systems on engineered bases accommodate this seasonal ground movement without the cracking that destroys poured concrete and flagstone pool decks.

The village's estates are defined by multi-acre lots, mature specimen trees, and architecturally significant homes ranging from pre-war Georgian manors to contemporary compounds. Pool areas on these properties are major design features that must integrate with the overall estate landscape. We work with landscape architects and pool designers to ensure our hardscape complements planting beds, lawn terraces, garden structures, and driveway approaches — creating a cohesive property-wide design language.

Old Westbury's pool prevalence is among the highest in Nassau County, with the majority of estate properties featuring in-ground pools. Many of these pools are 30 to 50 years old, surrounded by deteriorated concrete or flagstone decks that compromise both safety and aesthetics. Pool deck replacement is one of the highest-impact improvements an Old Westbury homeowner can make — transforming an aging pool area into a modern outdoor living environment that adds both daily enjoyment and substantial resale value.

The Village of Old Westbury enforces minimum lot sizes and generous setback requirements that protect the community's estate character. We are familiar with the village's building department processes and ensure every pool hardscape project meets code requirements for drainage, grading, and structural specifications before we break ground.
