Expert sidewalks for Plandome Heights homeowners. Elevated hillside village, Manhasset Bay views, steep terrain
Concrete sidewalks provide safe, durable pedestrian access along streets and throughout residential and commercial properties on Long Island. Whether you need to replace a cracked, heaving sidewalk, install a new walkway to meet municipal requirements, or add pedestrian paths around your property, Brothers Paving & Masonry delivers professional sidewalk installation and replacement across Nassau and Suffolk County. Cracked or uneven sidewalks are a safety hazard and a liability concern, and many local municipalities require property owners to maintain the sidewalks adjacent to their property, with code violations and fines for non-compliance.
Our team has extensive experience with Long Island municipal sidewalk requirements, including thickness, width, grade, and ADA compliance standards that vary from town to town. We handle permit applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure every sidewalk meets applicable codes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sidewalk damage on Long Island, and we address root issues with pruning or root barriers before installing new concrete to minimize future intrusion.
The installation process includes saw-cutting along removal lines, demolishing and disposing of damaged sections, then excavating six to eight inches below finished grade for a compacted crushed stone base. Forms are set to the required width (typically four to five feet for residential) with precise cross-slopes of two percent for ADA drainage compliance. We pour 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete, apply a broom finish perpendicular to foot traffic for slip resistance, and tool control joints at intervals matching the sidewalk width. Expansion joints are placed at driveways, curbs, and building foundations to allow independent movement and prevent buckling during temperature changes.
Plandome Heights is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Plandome Heights is a small, affluent incorporated village perched on elevated terrain above Manhasset Bay, offering residents commanding views and a quiet residential atmosphere. The village sits between Plandome and Manhasset, with homes set along winding streets that follow the natural contours of the hillside. The elevated position means many properties have steeply graded driveways and terraced yards that present both aesthetic opportunities and engineering challenges for hardscape installations.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our sidewalks solutions are designed for Plandome Heights's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Plandome Heights occupies some of the steepest residential terrain in the Manhasset Bay area, with driveways that pitch sharply uphill from the surrounding lower communities. This elevation creates excellent natural drainage but demands precise grading to prevent water from accelerating down paved surfaces and eroding base material at transitions. The glacial clay subsoil is dense and slow to drain, requiring subsurface drainage systems beneath patios and walkways to prevent frost heave damage during Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles.
