Professional pool hardscape for Plandome Heights homeowners. Elevated hillside village, Manhasset Bay views, steep terrain
Plandome Heights homeowners choose Brothers Paving & Masonry for pool hardscape that matches the refined character of this exclusive North Shore village. Nestled between Plandome and Manhasset, Plandome Heights offers a rare combination of privacy, mature landscaping, and proximity to Manhasset Bay — and the pool areas we build here are designed to take full advantage of these qualities. Whether you need a complete pool deck installation, coping replacement, or an integrated outdoor living space connecting your pool to the house, we deliver precision-engineered results.
We install pool hardscape using travertine, natural bluestone, porcelain pavers, and premium interlocking concrete pavers from Cambridge, Belgard, Nicolock, and Unilock. Our Plandome Heights projects typically include pool coping in bullnose or square-edge profiles, step treads, spa surrounds, transition areas to lawn or garden beds, and connections to existing patios or outdoor kitchens. Every material is selected for slip resistance, heat reflection, and durability against chlorinated water and Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles.
The foundation of every pool deck we install in Plandome Heights is engineered for the specific soil and drainage conditions on your property. We excavate to proper depth, lay geotextile fabric to prevent soil migration, compact a multi-layer aggregate base, and set every paver or stone by hand with consistent spacing. Polymeric sand fills the joints to lock pavers in place, resist splash-out erosion, and prevent weed growth — creating a pool deck surface that remains flat, clean, and safe for bare feet.
Plandome Heights is a small, tightly knit village of approximately 300 homes positioned on the elevated terrain between Northern Boulevard and the Plandome LIRR station. The lots here are substantial — typically a quarter acre or larger — with mature plantings that create a secluded, park-like setting unusual for communities this close to Manhattan. Pool hardscape projects in Plandome Heights must work within these established landscapes, respecting root zones, existing stone walls, and the natural contours of the land.
The soil in Plandome Heights is predominantly glacial till with variable drainage characteristics. Higher-elevation properties drain reasonably well, but the lower sections near the village boundaries can retain moisture, especially after heavy rain or spring snowmelt. For pool deck installations in these areas, we increase base depth and install subsurface drainage to prevent water from becoming trapped beneath the hardscape surface — the primary cause of frost heave and paver displacement on Long Island.
Many homes in Plandome Heights were built in the mid-20th century and feature original concrete pool decks or flagstone set in mortar that has deteriorated over decades. These surfaces develop cracks, uneven joints, and ponding areas that become safety hazards and eyesores. Brothers Paving specializes in removing these aging installations and replacing them with properly engineered modern pool hardscape that eliminates every issue while dramatically improving the visual impact of the pool area.
The village's premium real estate values — reinforced by the Manhasset Union Free School District and the area's Gold Coast reputation — mean that homeowners here expect contractor work to meet the highest standards. A Brothers Paving pool hardscape installation delivers craftsmanship that enhances both your daily pool experience and your property's long-term market position.

Learn MorePlandome Heights properties often feature significant tree canopy from decades-old oaks, maples, and beeches that create root networks throughout the yard. Before any pool hardscape excavation, we map root zones and design base footprints that avoid cutting structural roots. Where roots are unavoidable, we use root bridging techniques that maintain tree health while providing a stable base. The village's elevated position generally provides better drainage than bayfront Plandome, but clay lenses in the glacial till can create localized wet spots that require targeted subsurface drainage solutions.
