Expert concrete pads for Franklin Square homeowners. Dense western Nassau residential community
Concrete pads are compact, purpose-built slabs designed to support specific equipment and structures around your Long Island property. From air conditioning units and generators to hot tubs, trash enclosures, and outdoor showers, a properly installed concrete pad provides the solid, level foundation that equipment needs to operate safely and last for years. Brothers Paving & Masonry installs concrete pads of all sizes and specifications throughout Nassau and Suffolk County.
Different applications require different specs. An HVAC pad must be perfectly level with proper airflow clearance. A generator pad is sized to the unit and manufacturer clearance requirements. A hot tub pad needs significantly more structural capacity, often six inches or more of reinforced concrete, to handle the combined weight of the tub, water, and occupants. We excavate eight to ten inches below finished grade, install four inches of compacted crushed stone aggregate, and set forms with the correct pitch to drain water away from equipment and adjacent structures.
We use air-entrained ready-mix concrete rated at a minimum of 4,000 PSI. Equipment pads typically receive a smooth steel-trowel finish, while pads with foot traffic get a broom finish. Reinforcement ranges from welded wire mesh for standard utility pads to rebar for heavy-duty applications. We also coordinate with your HVAC contractor, electrician, or other trades when conduit, sleeves, or anchor bolts need to be cast into the concrete during the pour. Proper base preparation is critical on Long Island, where sandy coastal soils and organic topsoil can settle significantly if not removed and replaced with compacted aggregate.
Franklin Square is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Franklin Square is a densely populated residential hamlet in western Nassau County, bordering Queens and sharing a close-knit suburban character with its Five Towns and Elmont neighbors. Hempstead Turnpike and Franklin Avenue run through the community, while residential blocks feature compact lots with Cape Cods, ranches, and bi-levels that homeowners maintain with pride. The community is served by multiple school districts, and its western location provides some of the shortest commutes to New York City on Long Island. Brothers Paving helps Franklin Square homeowners maximize their properties with practical improvements including driveway replacements, front walkway upgrades, and patio installations that add functional outdoor space to the neighborhood's smaller lots.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our concrete pads solutions are designed for Franklin Square's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Franklin Square's densely packed homes on compact lots create tight working conditions for paving crews, requiring careful equipment selection and material staging. The flat terrain and mixed fill soils typical of western Nassau demand thorough site evaluation, as subsurface conditions can include clay pockets, organic layers, and old construction debris. Many homes here were built in the 1940s and 1950s with concrete stoops and walks that have deteriorated significantly and now require complete replacement rather than repair.
