Professional walkways & entryways for Kensington homeowners. Great Neck village, well-maintained residential community
Kensington is a well-maintained village in the heart of the Great Neck area, and Brothers Paving & Masonry builds walkways and entryways that match the polished residential character this community maintains. From front entry path upgrades that modernize aging concrete to garden walkways connecting rear patios to landscaped yards, our installations deliver clean craftsmanship with materials selected to complement Kensington's classic and contemporary home styles.
Our Kensington walkway projects focus on the practical improvements that make the biggest difference in daily life and property presentation — replacing cracked, settled concrete paths with level paver surfaces, widening narrow walkways to proper 4-foot entry width, adding landing pads at stoop transitions, and integrating low-voltage lighting for safety and curb appeal after dark. We install Cambridge, Belgard, Nicolock, and natural bluestone to suit a range of architectural styles and budgets.
Every walkway we build starts with full excavation to minimum 8-inch depth, geotextile fabric, compacted aggregate base, screeded bedding layer, and hand-set pavers finished with polymeric sand. This base system is the foundation of long-term performance — it prevents the settling, shifting, and heaving that destroy walkways built on inadequate bases within just a few Long Island winters.
Kensington sits within the Great Neck corridor, sharing the peninsula's strong school district, convenient LIRR service, and established residential character. The village features a mix of classic and contemporary homes on well-maintained lots, with front walkways that serve as the primary visual introduction to each property. In a market where neighbors maintain high standards and buyer expectations are shaped by the Great Neck name, the condition of your front walkway communicates volumes about the overall care of the property.
Many Kensington homes have original concrete walkways that have served their purpose for decades but are now cracked, stained, or settled from tree root pressure and freeze-thaw cycling. These aging paths are more than cosmetic issues — they create tripping hazards and suggest deferred maintenance to anyone approaching the home. A professional paver walkway replacement resolves both problems simultaneously.
Kensington's residential streets are lined with mature trees that provide excellent shade and visual character but can interfere with walkway construction. Oak, maple, and ornamental tree roots frequently run beneath existing concrete paths, causing the heaving and cracking that homeowners are trying to solve. Brothers Paving routes new walkways to minimize root conflicts and installs barriers where proximity to major trees is unavoidable.
The village's proximity to Great Neck Plaza's shopping and dining district and the LIRR station means front walkways see regular foot traffic from commuters and visitors. We build every path for durability and safety, using slip-resistant textured pavers that maintain traction in rain, frost, and salted winter conditions.

Learn MoreKensington's Great Neck peninsula location means the area sits on glacial deposits that generally drain well, though some properties on the lower elevations can have moisture-retentive soils influenced by the peninsula's surrounding water bodies. We evaluate drainage conditions on-site and add enhanced subsurface drainage where needed. The village's compact lot sizes mean equipment access can be tight — we plan staging areas and material delivery routes carefully to minimize disruption to the property and neighboring homes. Mature trees are present on most Kensington streets, and root management is a standard consideration in our walkway designs.
Real projects we've completed for Kensington homeowners.
Replaced a settled concrete walkway with a 40-foot Cambridge Ledgestone path in Sahara/Chestnut blend with a herringbone pattern and contrasting charcoal soldier course border. Installed root barriers along one side where a mature maple was within 4 feet of the alignment. Added a 4×5 landing pad at the front stoop.
Scope: 210 sq ft walkway, root barriers, landing pad
Built a 45-foot paver walkway connecting the front driveway to the rear patio through a narrow side yard. Used Nicolock Colonial pavers in harvest blend at 3-foot width to fit the space. Added a small landing at the rear gate and low-voltage accent lighting.
Scope: 140 sq ft walkway, landing, lighting
