Pool Hardscape in Plandome Heights, NY

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.
