Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you pull into your driveway and everything just looks right. Your walkway isn’t just functional anymore – it’s the kind of entrance that makes neighbors slow down and guests comment before they even reach your door.
No more worrying about someone slipping on wet concrete or tripping over uneven surfaces. Your new paver walkway handles whatever Long Island weather throws at it, from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
The best part? You’re not dealing with cracks that need constant patching or surfaces that look worn after a few years. Quality pavers mean you’re done with walkway problems for decades.
We’ve been installing walkways in Selden and throughout Suffolk County since 2000. That’s over 20 years of understanding exactly what works in our climate and what doesn’t.
You won’t find us juggling subcontractors or disappearing for weeks at a time. Our licensed team handles every aspect of your project directly, which means when you call with a question, you’re talking to the people actually doing the work.
We keep job sites clean because we know you still need to live in your home during construction. Fixed pricing means the number we give you is the number you pay – no surprise add-ons when we’re halfway through.
First, we assess your current walkway and discuss design options that complement your home’s style. We’re not trying to sell you the most expensive option – we’re finding what actually makes sense for your space and budget.
Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where corners get cut by other contractors, but proper base work is what prevents settling and cracking down the road. We excavate to the right depth, install proper drainage, and compact everything to industry standards.
Then we install your pavers with precision spacing and proper edge restraints. Final step is joint sand application and compaction. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days for most walkways, and we clean up completely each evening so your property stays livable throughout the project.

Your walkway paving project includes complete excavation, proper base preparation with crushed stone, and professional paver installation. We handle all the details most homeowners don’t think about – like proper drainage to prevent water pooling and edge restraints that keep everything locked in place.
In Selden’s climate, we use pavers rated for freeze-thaw cycles and select base materials that drain properly during our wet springs. Your project also includes polymeric joint sand that resists weeds and washing out during heavy rains.
We coordinate any necessary permits and ensure the finished walkway meets local codes. You get a walkway that looks great from day one and stays that way through Long Island’s weather extremes. No callbacks needed for settling or premature wear.
Most residential walkway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one covers excavation and base preparation. Day two involves paver installation and initial compaction. Day three handles final sand application, compaction, and cleanup.
Weather can extend timelines – we don’t install pavers in rain or when ground conditions aren’t right. It’s better to wait a day than compromise the foundation of your walkway.
Complex designs with curves or multiple elevation changes might add a day, but we’ll give you exact timelines during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Concrete walkways crack. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when. Temperature changes, ground movement, and tree roots all cause concrete to develop cracks that are expensive to repair and never look quite right afterward.
Paver walkways flex with ground movement instead of cracking. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, and the surface actually gets more stable over time as everything settles together.
Pavers also offer better traction in wet conditions and more design flexibility. You can choose colors and patterns that complement your home instead of settling for plain gray concrete.
Quality pavers are designed for freeze-thaw cycles and actually perform better than concrete in our climate. The key is proper installation – correct base depth, adequate drainage, and appropriate joint sand.
We use pavers rated for our climate zone and install them over a properly compacted stone base that drains water away instead of letting it pool and freeze. Joint sand allows for slight movement during temperature changes without cracking.
Salt and ice melt won’t damage quality pavers like they can damage concrete surfaces. Your walkway will look the same after 20 winters as it does after installation.
In most cases, yes. We work with major paver manufacturers and can usually find exact matches or complementary colors and styles. If your existing hardscape is relatively recent, matching is straightforward.
For older installations where exact matches aren’t available, we help you choose pavers that coordinate well without looking like a failed attempt at matching. Sometimes a complementary color or pattern actually looks better than trying to force an exact match.
We bring samples to your property so you can see how different options look in your specific lighting and against your home’s exterior before making final decisions.
Paver walkways are low maintenance compared to other options. Annual maintenance involves hosing down the surface and adding joint sand where needed – usually just in high-traffic areas.
Every few years, you might want to apply paver sealer to maintain color vibrancy, but it’s not required for structural integrity. Weeds can occasionally grow in joints, but proper polymeric sand installation minimizes this issue.
If individual pavers get stained or damaged, they can be replaced without affecting the rest of the walkway. Compare that to concrete where any repair creates a permanent patch that never quite matches.
Yes, we warranty our installation work because we’re confident in our process. Proper excavation, base preparation, and installation techniques prevent the settling and shifting issues that cause problems with paver walkways.
Our warranty covers installation-related issues like uneven settling or paver movement caused by inadequate base preparation. Normal wear, damage from vehicles, or changes caused by tree root growth aren’t covered, but these rarely affect properly installed walkways.
We use quality materials from established manufacturers who provide their own product warranties. When you combine proper installation with quality pavers, problems are rare and usually minor when they do occur.
