You get a patio that actually works. One that doesn’t puddle after rain, doesn’t crack after the first winter, and doesn’t need major repairs in two years.
We build patios that handle Long Island weather and soil conditions because we’ve been doing this for over 20 years. You’ll have a stable, properly drained outdoor space where you can actually put furniture without worrying about it sinking or shifting.
The difference is in the foundation work and drainage systems that most contractors skip. When we’re done, you have an outdoor room that adds real value to your home and gives your family a place to gather that works in all seasons.
Corsino Construction Corp has been building outdoor spaces for Nesconset homeowners since 2000. We’re licensed, insured, and local—which means we understand Suffolk County’s clay soil, drainage challenges, and building requirements that out-of-town contractors miss.
We’ve seen what happens when patios aren’t built properly. Settling foundations, water damage, and frustrated homeowners calling us to fix someone else’s shortcuts. That’s exactly why we focus on proper excavation, quality materials, and construction methods that stand up to our climate.
When you work with us, you get contractors who show up when promised, do what we say we’ll do, and stand behind our work with real warranties. No disappearing acts, no surprise charges, no excuses.
We start with a site visit to see your space, understand what you want, and identify any drainage or grading issues that need attention. No guesswork—we measure, assess soil conditions, and plan for proper water management from day one.
Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start, so we don’t rush it. We dig to proper depth, install drainage systems when needed, and create a stable base that won’t shift or settle over time.
Then we install your chosen materials—concrete, natural stone, or pavers—with attention to proper slope and finishing details. We handle all cleanup, coordinate any electrical work for lighting, and make sure you understand how to maintain your new patio. You get one point of contact throughout the entire process and contractors who actually return your calls.

Our patio services cover everything from simple concrete installations to elaborate stone and paver designs. We handle excavation, base preparation, drainage solutions, and all finish work. Whether you want a basic entertaining space or a complex outdoor room with multiple levels, we have the experience to build it right.
We work with materials suited to Long Island’s climate—concrete, natural stone, pavers, and other options that handle our freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions. Our team understands local drainage requirements and coordinates with other trades if your project needs electrical work for lighting or gas lines for outdoor features.
Every project includes proper permits when required, detailed cleanup, and a warranty on our workmanship. In Nesconset specifically, we’re familiar with Town of Smithtown requirements and handle permit applications to keep your project compliant and on schedule.
Patio costs vary significantly based on size, materials, site conditions, and complexity. Basic concrete patios start around $8-12 per square foot, while premium stone installations can run $20-30+ per square foot.
Factors that affect pricing include excavation requirements, drainage needs, access to your backyard, and finish details. A typical 280-square-foot patio averages around $3,800, but your actual cost depends on your specific site and material choices.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges—just transparent pricing based on the actual work required for your property.
Most basic patios don’t require permits, but larger projects or those involving electrical, plumbing, or significant grading might need approval from the Town of Smithtown. It depends on the size, complexity, and features you’re adding.
We’re familiar with local requirements and will handle permit applications if needed. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with violations later, especially if you’re planning features like built-in lighting, fire pits, or drainage systems.
We include permit costs in our estimates when required, so you won’t get surprised by additional fees. Our experience with local building departments helps keep the process smooth and efficient, avoiding delays that can push your project into bad weather.
Proper drainage is critical for Long Island patios due to our clay soil and weather patterns. We grade the base to direct water away from your home and install drainage systems when needed. This might include French drains, catch basins, or permeable materials depending on your site conditions.
We also ensure proper slope—enough to shed water but not so much that furniture feels uneven. Poor drainage is the number one cause of patio problems, so we address it during the design phase rather than hoping it works out.
Clay soil doesn’t drain naturally, so we often need to install aggregate bases and drainage systems that many contractors skip. This prevents the pooling water and frost damage that destroy patios within a few years.
The best material depends on your budget, style preferences, and maintenance expectations. Concrete is durable and cost-effective, especially with proper sealing. Natural stone like bluestone handles freeze-thaw cycles well and looks great long-term. Pavers offer flexibility and easier repairs if settling occurs.
For Long Island specifically, we avoid materials that don’t handle moisture and temperature changes well. We also make sure whatever material you choose is installed with proper drainage and base preparation to prevent frost heaving and water damage.
The key isn’t just the material—it’s the installation. Even premium materials fail if they’re not installed with proper foundations and drainage systems designed for our soil conditions and climate.
Timeline depends on the complexity of the design and site conditions. A basic concrete patio might take 3-5 days, while elaborate stone or paver installations can take 1-2 weeks. Weather, drainage requirements, and permit approvals can affect scheduling.
We establish realistic timelines upfront and communicate any delays immediately. If you’re planning for a specific event, we work backwards from that date to ensure completion on schedule, weather permitting.
Site preparation often takes longer than homeowners expect, especially if we need to address drainage issues or difficult access. But this groundwork is what prevents problems later, so we don’t rush it to meet arbitrary deadlines.
Yes, we provide written warranties on our workmanship because we stand behind our construction methods. The specific terms depend on the materials and scope of work, but we warranty against defects in our installation and structural issues caused by improper construction.
This doesn’t cover normal wear, damage from extreme weather events, or problems caused by ground movement beyond our control. But if our installation fails due to poor workmanship or inadequate preparation, we’ll make it right.
We’ve been in business for over 20 years because we build things right the first time and take care of our customers when issues arise. You get our contact information and we actually answer when you call—even years later.
