Masonry & Stonework Suffolk & Nassau County, NY

A properly installed stone or brick patio with correct base preparation and drainage can last 30-50+ years. The key is the base — improper base preparation is the #1 reason patios settle, crack, or heave. We excavate to the proper depth, install geotextile fabric, and use the right base material and compaction for Long Island's soil conditions.

Yes. We handle all types of masonry repair — repointing deteriorated mortar joints in brick walls, repairing cracked chimneys, fixing spalling concrete, resetting loose pavers, and restoring historic stonework. Repointing is particularly important on Long Island — deteriorated mortar lets water into your walls, which freezes and expands in winter, accelerating damage.

Retaining wall costs vary widely based on height, length, material, and site conditions. A basic concrete block wall might start at $40-$60 per square foot, while a natural stone wall can range from $80-$150+ per square foot. We provide a detailed estimate after assessing your site, soil, and drainage needs.

Bluestone is a popular choice on Long Island — it's a natural stone that's locally available, durable, and complements our region's architecture. Concrete pavers are a more affordable option with many style options. Brick offers a classic look. We help you choose based on your home's style, budget, and the amount of foot traffic the walkway will receive.

Some masonry benefits from sealing — particularly porous stones like bluestone and concrete pavers, which can absorb stains and water. Sealing helps prevent salt damage in winter, oil stains on driveways, and water penetration that causes spalling. We apply the appropriate sealer for your material and conditions as part of the project.
