Expert dry wells for Roslyn homeowners. Historic village, masonry-heavy properties
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.
Roslyn is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Roslyn is a picturesque incorporated village on the North Shore of Long Island, steeped in history dating to the colonial era. The village center along Old Northern Boulevard features landmark buildings, a working clock tower, and the historic Roslyn Grist Mill. Residential streets climb the surrounding hills, offering homes with character and views of Hempstead Harbor. Roslyn's architectural heritage means that masonry work is in especially high demand, from restoring fieldstone walls to installing period-appropriate bluestone walkways and stoops. The Roslyn Public Schools are among Nassau County's most acclaimed, attracting families who value both the village's charm and educational quality. Brothers Paving takes special care with Roslyn projects, selecting materials and designs that honor the community's historic fabric while meeting modern standards for durability and safety.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our dry wells solutions are designed for Roslyn's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Roslyn's historic village core features some of the oldest housing stock on the North Shore, with brick and stone masonry that often requires careful restoration rather than replacement. The rolling terrain around Roslyn Pond produces natural drainage paths that must be accounted for when grading patios and walkways. Clay-rich glacial soils here are prone to heaving during freeze-thaw cycles, so deep aggregate bases and proper compaction are non-negotiable.
