Expert dry wells for Sands Point homeowners. Gold Coast peninsula, waterfront estates
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.
Sands Point is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Sands Point is the crown jewel of the Port Washington peninsula, an exclusive Gold Coast village perched on a dramatic promontory overlooking Long Island Sound, Manhasset Bay, and Hempstead Harbor. The community is said to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's East Egg in The Great Gatsby, and the historic Sands Point Preserve with its Castlegould and Hempstead House estates exemplifies the grandeur that defines this address. Residential properties feature sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees, and waterfront exposure that calls for hardscaping of exceptional quality. Sea-level properties require attention to drainage and flood-resistant materials, while hilltop estates command formal motor courts and stone terracing. Brothers Paving delivers the premium craftsmanship Sands Point demands, from hand-set cobblestone driveways to natural stone pool surrounds that withstand the coastal environment.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our dry wells solutions are designed for Sands Point's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Sands Point's exposed peninsula position on Long Island Sound subjects driveways, walkways, and stone walls to relentless salt air, wind-driven rain, and rapid freeze-thaw cycling through winter. The clay bluffs along the shoreline are prone to erosion, and properties near the water often require retaining walls engineered for both soil pressure and stormwater management. Grand estate homes here feature extensive masonry elements including entry columns, garden walls, and courtyards that require periodic repointing and sealing.
