Professional walkways & entryways for Matinecock homeowners. Ultra-exclusive Gold Coast village, secluded estates
Matinecock is one of the Gold Coast's most private and prestigious villages — a community of sprawling estates, protected woodlands, and architecture that spans from Gilded Age mansions to modern luxury compounds. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds walkway and entryway systems that match the scale and refinement of Matinecock's finest properties, using natural stone, premium pavers, and the engineering precision required by the village's hilly, heavily wooded terrain.
Our Matinecock walkway installations range from 60-foot formal entry paths to 200-foot-plus estate walkway networks connecting main residences, guest houses, pool pavilions, and garden features across multi-acre properties. We work with Pennsylvania thermal bluestone, Connecticut fieldstone, hand-split granite, and Cambridge and Techo-Bloc interlocking pavers — selecting materials that complement each estate's architectural heritage.
Every Matinecock walkway is engineered for the village's demanding conditions: significant elevation changes, dense mature tree canopy, shaded moisture retention, and soils that vary from sandy glacial outwash to heavy clay. We build proper bases, install drainage at every grade transition, protect mature root systems, and hand-set every stone with the craftsmanship these properties deserve.
Matinecock sits on the hilly terrain between Oyster Bay and Locust Valley, with properties that average five to fifteen acres of mature forest, open meadow, and manicured grounds. The village is one of the least densely populated on Long Island, with large-lot zoning that preserves the rural estate character. This means walkway projects are often long, complex, and must work with terrain that was not graded for development.
The village's estate homes represent some of the most architecturally significant residential properties in the region. Original 1910s and 1920s mansions, thoughtfully renovated period homes, and sensitively designed new construction coexist on properties that have been maintained for generations. The walkway is often the oldest hardscape element on the property and the one most in need of replacement — many still have original brick, flagstone, or concrete paths that have deteriorated beyond repair.
Matinecock's topography is more varied than neighboring villages, with steep ravines, wooded ridges, and occasional rock outcroppings that make walkway route planning essential. We use topographic surveys to identify optimal paths that minimize grade changes while providing logical connections between buildings and landscape features.
The village maintains strict building codes and tree preservation requirements, and its small size means the building department is highly attentive to every project. We handle all permitting and compliance, including the tree preservation documentation required for any work within the drip line of protected specimens.

Learn MoreMatinecock's varied terrain creates walkway projects with substantial elevation changes — 15 to 30 feet over a typical estate path is common. We design step sections with proper concrete footings, matching stone treads, and concealed French drains at every uphill transition. The village's dense canopy creates permanent shade conditions that affect material selection and joint treatment: we use only textured, slip-resistant stone finishes and high-performance polymeric sand or mortar joints rated for damp environments. Root management is essential, as Matinecock's protected trees include specimens over 200 years old. We map roots before excavation, use flexible base systems within drip lines, and reroute walkway paths around critical root zones rather than cutting through them.
Real projects we've completed for Matinecock homeowners.
Replaced a deteriorated 1920s brick walkway with an 85-foot formal thermal bluestone path from the motor court to the stone portico of a Tudor estate. Hand-tooled edges with tight mortar joints, three step sections with matching bluestone treads and wrought-iron handrails. Root-sensitive construction around four protected oaks. 16 period-appropriate lantern-style path lights.
Scope: 85 linear ft bluestone walkway, 3 step sections, root-sensitive, 16 lights
Built 140 linear feet of irregular fieldstone garden paths along a wooded ridge connecting the main terrace to a hilltop garden pavilion and scenic overlook. The path follows the natural ridgeline contour with gentle curves, using dry-laid construction with moss joints for an established woodland appearance. Two stone step sections with hand-selected boulder cheek walls.
Scope: 140 linear ft fieldstone path, 2 step sections, boulder walls, moss joints
