Driveways, walkways, steps, and masonry for East Meadow homes — family-run, licensed and insured, based a short drive away in Westbury.
Most East Meadow houses are mid-century, and a lot of them still have some of their original concrete — the driveway, the front walk, the stoop. That concrete has been through a lot of winters, and the trees planted when the house was new are now big enough to lift slabs from underneath. Cracked squares, heaved walkway sections, and steps pulling away from the house are what we get called about most here.
The other thing we see is patchwork. East Meadow yards have usually been landscaped and re-landscaped more than once, and the concrete got repaired the same way — a replaced square that doesn't match, a walkway that changes width halfway to the door. At some point it makes more sense to break it out and pour it right than to keep patching. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line your job is on.
Kenny walks the job with you first and gives you a straight price before anything starts. On the job itself, the old concrete gets broken out and hauled away, the base gets rebuilt, and the pitch gets set so water moves away from the house — that last part is where old East Meadow pours usually went wrong, and it's why they cracked in the first place.
Because we also do the landscaping, the edges get finished instead of left ragged. Lawn gets re-sodded against a new driveway, beds meet the new walkway cleanly, and if tree roots caused the damage we deal with the root problem before pouring over it — otherwise you're buying the same crack twice.
East Meadow is a hamlet, so any permits run through the Town of Hempstead rather than a village hall. Whether your project needs one depends on what's being built. We'll flag it at the estimate so it's sorted before work starts, and we'll tell you up front how long the new concrete needs to cure before you can walk or park on it.
It depends on the size of the driveway, whether the old slab needs to be broken out and hauled away, the condition of the base underneath, and whether the pitch has to be corrected so water drains away from the house. Tree roots under the slab add work too, since they should be dealt with before the new pour. The honest answer is to have Kenny walk it — the estimate is free and you get a straight price before any work starts. Call or text (516) 333-4019.
East Meadow is a hamlet, so there's no village hall — permits go through the Town of Hempstead, and whether you need one depends on what's being built. A straight replacement of an existing walkway is a different situation than new structural work. We sort out what your specific job requires as part of the free estimate, before anything is poured.
In East Meadow it's usually one of three things: tree roots pushing up from underneath, a base that has settled over the decades, or a pour that was pitched wrong so water sat on it and worked in through freeze and thaw. Small surface cracks can sometimes wait, but once slabs heave or steps pull away from the house, patching just delays the same repair. If roots caused it, the roots have to be addressed before the new pour or the crack comes back.
