Expert grading & pitch correction for Woodmere homeowners. Five Towns area, strong residential market
Grading and pitch correction is the foundation of effective drainage on Long Island. If the grade of your property directs water toward your home instead of away from it, no amount of drains and dry wells will fully solve the problem. Brothers Paving & Masonry provides professional grading and pitch correction services across Nassau and Suffolk County, reshaping ground surfaces to establish the proper slopes that keep water moving away from structures and toward designated collection points.
Proper grading means every surface (lawn, driveway, patio, walkways) slopes in the right direction at the right rate to shed water efficiently. The International Residential Code recommends a minimum slope of six inches over the first ten feet away from a foundation, and paved surfaces should pitch at least one-eighth inch per foot toward drainage collection points. Grading issues develop on Long Island from soil settlement (especially in sandy soils), landscaping projects that inadvertently redirect water, erosion from unmanaged runoff, and original construction that was inadequately graded from the start.
Our process begins with a topographic assessment using surveying instruments and laser levels to map existing grades, identify negative or insufficient slopes, and trace water flow paths. For lawn and landscape areas, we add or redistribute clean fill material in compacted layers to build a consistent outward slope from the foundation. Driveway and hardscape pitch correction may involve adding an overlay, regrading the base before repaving, or targeted surface adjustments. We recommend the most cost-effective approach for each situation. Swale construction is a common component, providing shallow vegetated channels that direct surface water to catch basins or dry wells. Long Island's flat terrain makes every fraction of an inch of grade critical, so we use laser-guided equipment throughout. After grading is complete, all disturbed areas are stabilized with topsoil and seed, sod, or appropriate ground cover.
Woodmere is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Woodmere is a prominent hamlet in the Five Towns area of southwestern Nassau County, known for its strong community identity, excellent schools, and substantial residential properties. Broadway serves as the main commercial corridor, while streets like Keene Lane and Irving Place are lined with stately Colonials, tudors, and brick homes on generous lots. The Hewlett-Woodmere School District and proximity to the Woodmere Club draw families seeking both quality education and an upscale suburban lifestyle. Many Woodmere homes feature impressive front facades that benefit from coordinated driveway, walkway, and stoop upgrades. Backyard entertaining spaces with paver patios and outdoor living areas are increasingly popular as homeowners maximize their property's potential. Brothers Paving has completed numerous projects throughout the Five Towns, understanding the aesthetic preferences and quality expectations of Woodmere homeowners.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our grading & pitch correction solutions are designed for Woodmere's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Woodmere's South Shore location on the western edge of the Five Towns brings a high water table and sandy soils that demand free-draining aggregate bases beneath all paved surfaces. Many of the large homes in the community feature expansive driveways, patios, and pool decks where proper grading is essential to direct runoff away from structures in an area prone to coastal flooding. Salt air from nearby Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic contributes to accelerated mortar deterioration and surface scaling on exposed masonry.
