Yes. We build both structural and decorative retaining walls using natural stone, concrete block, and segmental retaining wall systems. Proper drainage and engineering are critical for retaining walls, and we ensure every wall is built to code and designed to last.

A typical paver patio installation takes 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation, sand setting, paver installation, and joint filling. Larger projects with complex patterns or integrated features like fire pits may take 1-2 weeks.

The best patio material depends on your style, budget, and intended use. Concrete pavers are the most popular choice — they're durable, versatile, and available in many colors and patterns. Natural bluestone offers a classic, high-end look. Travertine is elegant and stays cool underfoot, making it ideal for pool patios. We help you compare options and choose the best fit for your property.

Retaining wall costs on Long Island typically range from $25-$75 per square foot of wall face, depending on the material (natural stone, block, or boulder) and the height and complexity of the wall. A typical residential retaining wall project runs $3,000-$15,000+. We provide free on-site estimates and engineer walls that are built to last.

In most Long Island municipalities, a basic ground-level paver patio does not require a building permit. However, if the patio includes structures like a pergola, fireplace, or if it's elevated, a permit may be required. Retaining walls over a certain height also typically require permits. We handle the permit process when needed.

Pavers are individual interlocking units laid on a compacted base — they're flexible, easy to repair (you can replace individual pavers), and handle freeze-thaw cycles well. Stamped concrete is a single poured slab with patterns stamped into the surface — it's typically less expensive upfront but can crack over time and is harder to repair. Both are good options, and we install both.

Yes. We repair and rebuild crumbling brick stoops regularly across Long Island. Depending on the extent of damage, we may be able to repoint and patch, or a full rebuild may be the better long-term solution. We assess the condition, explain your options, and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
