Family-run and based a few minutes away in Westbury — licensed, insured, and building patios and walkways throughout Garden City.
Garden City houses were built to be looked at. Deep front lawns, long approaches from the sidewalk to the front door, wide tree-lined streets — the walk up to the house is part of the property here in a way it isn't in most towns. When that walk is an old, cracked, heaved slab, the whole front of the house reads worse than it should.
The same mature oaks and maples that make the village beautiful are hard on hardscape. Roots push up old concrete walks from below, and the heavy shade keeps the ground damp, which gives freeze-and-thaw cycles more to work with. Pavers handle both better than a poured slab — individual units can be lifted and reset if something moves — but only over a base that was excavated and compacted properly. That base is where we spend most of the job.
Out back, a patio earns its keep on these lots. Sized right for a table, chairs, and the way your family actually uses the yard, it becomes the room you use most from spring through fall.
It starts with Kenny walking the property with you. We measure, talk through how you'll use the space, look at what the ground and the trees are doing, and give you a straight price before anything is ordered. No allowances that balloon later — you know the number before work starts.
Garden City is an incorporated village with its own building department, so what needs to be filed depends on your project and your address. We find that out before we start rather than after, so a paperwork question never stalls the job mid-build. And because we pour concrete and do masonry in-house, steps, aprons, and transitions between materials are handled by the same crew — nothing gets subbed out.
The build itself is unglamorous on purpose: excavate to the right depth, compact the base in lifts, set the pavers, lock the edges, and clean the site before we leave. Slower on day one, flat for years after.
It depends on the size of the patio, how easy it is to get equipment and material into the yard, how much excavation and base work the ground needs, whether mature tree roots have to be worked around, and the pavers you choose. Steps, seating walls, and transitions to existing concrete add to it.

It depends on the scope of the work and your specific address. Garden City is an incorporated village with its own building department, so the rules are local rather than county-wide. We check exactly what your project needs before we start, not after, so a permit question never surprises you mid-job.
Most walkway failures in Garden City come from two things: mature oak and maple roots pushing up from below, and freeze-and-thaw cycles working on a thin or poorly compacted base. Pavers handle both better than a poured slab because individual units can be lifted and reset if something shifts. That only holds if the base underneath was excavated and compacted properly, which is where we put most of the labor on every job.
