Masonry & Pavers — Long Island

Built on a
Base You
Never See.

Two thirds of a paver job happens before a single stone is set. Excavation, compaction in lifts, drainage, edge restraint. That work is invisible the day we finish and it is the only thing that decides whether your patio is still flat in ten years.

We write the excavation depth, base depth and number of compaction lifts on every proposal, so you can compare our bid against anyone else's honestly. We also pull permits and handle town and village approvals across Nassau and Suffolk.

Why Choose Alec's

The Alec's
Difference

Base Spec in Writing

Excavation depth, base depth after compaction, number of lifts, edge restraint and jointing sand — all stated on the proposal. It is the fastest way to see what a cheap bid left out.

Drainage Solved First

Every hardscape changes where water goes. We work out drainage before we design the surface, because water is what destroys masonry on Long Island — not the winter itself, but water that had nowhere to drain.

Permits and Village Rules Handled

Retaining wall heights, impervious coverage limits and gas or electrical work all trigger approvals, and requirements differ between towns and villages. We confirm which authority governs and pull what is needed.

Common Questions

Masonry & Pavers FAQ

A professionally installed paver patio runs roughly $28 to $55 per square foot. A typical 400 square foot patio lands between $11,000 and $22,000 depending on the paver line, pattern, site access and whether demolition or drainage work is needed.
Six to eight inches of compacted crushed stone for a patio in well-draining soil, and roughly 10 to 12 inches for a driveway. Clay-heavy soil needs more. It has to go in and be compacted in lifts of three to four inches — a deep layer rolled once looks solid and settles within a few years. We state the depth and the number of lifts on every proposal.
A ground-level patio often does not require a building permit, but many towns and villages regulate total impervious surface coverage, and retaining walls above roughly four feet almost always require a permit and often engineered drawings. Requirements differ between towns and villages, so we confirm which authority governs your address and pull what is needed.
For most Long Island properties, yes. Our winters cycle above and below freezing dozens of times a season, and a rigid slab cracks when the ground moves while a paver field flexes with it. Pavers can also be lifted and reset invisibly if a section ever settles. Concrete is cheaper up front and makes sense if you are selling soon.
Roughly April through November. Frozen ground cannot be properly excavated or compacted, and polymeric jointing sand needs dry conditions and temperatures above about 50 degrees to cure. Winter is the right time to design, permit and get on the spring schedule — spring dates fill during March.
Both. We repoint brick and stone, rebuild front steps and stoops, repair chimney crowns and flashing, and lift and relevel settled paver patios reusing the original pavers. On older homes we use a softer lime-based mortar, because modern hard mortar on soft historic brick causes the brick faces to spall permanently.
