Long Island Masonry & Paving Stones
Elevate Your Driveway or Patio with Paving Stones
The Appeal of Paving Stones
Paving stones offer a timeless and elegant solution for driveways, walkways, steps, and patios.
Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, paving stones come in a variety of colors, shapes, and textures, allowing homeowners to create unique designs that enhance curb appeal and complement the surrounding landscape. Their interlocking structure provides superior durability and flexibility, making them resistant to cracking from ground movement or weather changes.
Additionally, paving stones are low-maintenance, easy to replace if damaged, and environmentally friendly, as they allow for better drainage and reduce water runoff. A well-designed paving stone surface not only boosts property value but can transform outdoor spaces into stunning, functional works of art.

The Process of Laying Paving Stones
Creating a flawless paving stone installation begins with careful preparation. The process starts with a thorough inspection of the area and the potential removal of existing surface materials, such as concrete, asphalt, or grass.
Once the surface is cleared, a proper base is prepared using layers of compacted gravel and sand to ensure stability and drainage.
The paving stones are then meticulously laid in the desired pattern, ensuring a snug fit and seamless interlocking.
Edging is installed
to secure the design,
and the joints are filled with sand to lock the stones in place. Finally, the surface is
compacted and cleaned
to create a polished, professional finish. The result is a durable, long-lasting surface that blends beauty and functionality.

. What are the benefits of using paving stones over concrete or asphalt?
Paving stones offer durability, flexibility, and aesthetic variety. They’re resistant to cracking, allow for better drainage, and come in various styles and colors. Their interlocking design makes them both functional and beautiful—ideal for enhancing driveways, patios, and walkways.
. How long does it take to complete a Long Island masonry project?
It depends on the scope. Smaller projects like steps or walkways can be done in a couple of days. Larger installations, such as driveways or retaining walls, may take a week or more. We always balance efficiency with quality to ensure lasting results.
What should I expect during the installation process?
Our process begins with inspecting and preparing the site. We remove any existing material, lay it on a compacted gravel and sand base, and install your chosen stones with precision. Edging is added for structure; joints are filled with sand, and the entire surface is compacted for a clean, finished look.
Does your Long Island masonry company serve both residential and commercial clients?
Yes, we proudly serve both homeowners and businesses across Long Island. Whether you need a backyard patio or a commercial walkway, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to quality to every job.

We can help. Whether it's worn-out asphalt, cracked concrete, or an outdated stone layout, we offer resurfacing, redesign, and full replacement options. We’ll assess the condition of your current surface and recommend the best solution to enhance its function and appearance.
Can you assist with drainage or grading issues during installation?
Absolutely. Proper grading is essential for a long-lasting masonry surface. During installation, we ensure the base is sloped correctly to allow water to drain away from the structure, protecting both the surface and your property.
How do I know if I need masonry repair in Long Island?
At Long Island Asphalt & Sealcoating, we often tell homeowners and property managers to look out for cracks in bricks or mortar, loose stones, uneven steps, or signs of water damage. These are common indicators that masonry is starting to fail. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to address them early. We provide thorough inspections and honest recommendations to help you determine whether a simple repair or a more in-depth fix is needed.
