Expert dry wells for Glen Head homeowners. Residential, North Shore
Dry wells are one of the most effective drainage solutions on Long Island, providing an underground collection point where stormwater is temporarily stored and gradually absorbed into the surrounding soil. Brothers Paving & Masonry designs and installs dry well systems that address standing water, foundation flooding, and soggy yards across Nassau and Suffolk County properties.
Long Island's geology makes dry wells a particularly smart choice. Sandy and gravelly South Shore soils offer excellent natural percolation, while properly sized dry wells on the clay-heavy North Shore store water until the surrounding soil can accept it. A dry well receives water from connected sources (roof downspouts, driveway drains, catch basins, or French drains) through underground piping. The water enters a precast concrete or high-density polyethylene chamber buried several feet below grade and slowly seeps through perforations into the surrounding gravel bed and soil.
Our installation begins with a thorough site evaluation: drainage patterns, soil percolation rates, water table depth, and optimal chamber placement. We excavate to the specified depth, line the pit with geotextile filter fabric, surround the chamber with clean washed gravel, and connect all incoming pipes with watertight fittings. Systems range from single-chamber residential units handling one downspout to multi-chamber configurations managing entire properties. All piping is installed at a consistent pitch for gravity flow, with cleanout access points for future maintenance. After installation, we backfill, restore the surface grade, and test the system to verify proper flow.
Glen Head is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Glen Head is a desirable residential hamlet on the North Shore of Nassau County, positioned between the Gold Coast villages and the commercial centers of the island. The community spreads along Glen Cove Road and Glenwood Road, with residential streets offering a mix of ranch homes, Colonials, and newer custom builds on well-sized lots. The North Shore School District serves the area, and the Glen Head LIRR station provides Manhattan commuter access. Glen Head homeowners take pride in their properties, frequently upgrading driveways, adding paver walkways, and creating backyard patios that take advantage of the North Shore's pleasant setting. The hamlet's slightly rolling terrain occasionally calls for retaining wall solutions along property lines and driveway edges. Brothers Paving delivers dependable hardscaping throughout Glen Head, combining quality materials with efficient installation.

Glen Head's residential neighborhoods occupy moderately hilly terrain where glacial deposits create a patchwork of clay, silt, and gravel subsoils that vary from lot to lot. Many mid-century homes have aging asphalt driveways and concrete stoops that have cracked from frost heave and root displacement. The area's mature tree canopy provides character but also delivers leaf litter and organic acids that stain unsealed natural stone surfaces.
