Professional walkways & entryways for East Hills homeowners. Upscale village, hilly terrain, spacious properties
East Hills is an upscale North Shore village where rolling terrain, spacious properties, and mature landscaping create the perfect canvas for walkway and entryway installations that go beyond basic function. Brothers Paving & Masonry designs and builds paths in East Hills that navigate the village's hilly topography, complement its established architectural character, and deliver the premium finish that homeowners here expect.
Our walkway projects in East Hills range from elegant front entry paths connecting circular driveways to grand front porticos, to winding garden walkways that descend through wooded backyards to pool areas and lower terraces. We work with Cambridge, Belgard, Nicolock, natural bluestone, thermal granite, and travertine — selecting materials that match each home's style, whether it's a stately Colonial, a mid-century contemporary, or a newer custom build on the village's signature rolling hills.
East Hills' undulating terrain means many walkway projects require step transitions, retaining wall elements, and careful grading that flat-land contractors simply are not equipped to handle. Our team has extensive experience with hillside construction — pouring reinforced footings for step risers, engineering drainage through grade changes, and creating visually flowing paths that work with the slope rather than against it.
East Hills sits on the rolling terrain between Roslyn and Albertson, with residential streets that climb gentle hills and wind through mature tree canopy. The village's spacious properties — larger than typical Nassau County lots — often feature long front walkways that traverse grade changes between the street and the home's main entry, creating opportunities for step-and-landing designs, accent borders, and landscape lighting that turn a functional path into a design statement.
The housing stock in East Hills includes mid-century Colonials and ranches alongside newer custom builds, and many older homes have original concrete walkways that have cracked and settled after decades on the village's hilly terrain. Frost heave hits harder on slopes because gravity concentrates water at the base of inclines, saturating the soil and increasing the force of expansion when it freezes. Our walkway installations address this with deeper bases, strategic drainage, and step footings that reach below frost line.
East Hills homeowners invest meaningfully in exterior improvements, and walkway projects offer one of the best returns because they directly affect curb appeal and the daily experience of approaching the home. A well-crafted paver or bluestone entry path elevates the entire property's presentation, signaling quality and attention to detail from the moment a visitor steps out of their car.
The village's proximity to Roslyn and the Glen Cove Road corridor provides convenient access to commercial services while maintaining the semi-rural atmosphere that defines East Hills. This combination attracts discerning buyers willing to pay a premium for well-maintained properties — making walkway upgrades a smart investment that contributes directly to resale value.

Learn MoreEast Hills' rolling terrain is the defining feature for walkway construction. Slopes concentrate water at low points, and the village's glacial till soils can include clay layers that trap moisture and increase frost heave risk. We evaluate grade and soil conditions on every project, increasing base depth to 10 or 12 inches on slopes and installing subsurface French drain lines where water concentrates. Step footings on East Hills' grades are poured to a minimum 36 inches below finished grade to prevent frost heave. The village's mature tree canopy requires careful walkway routing to minimize root disturbance, and we install root barriers where paths must pass within the drip line of large specimen trees.
