Expert aprons & transitions for Merrick homeowners. South Shore, strong homeowner market
Driveway aprons and transitions are the hardest-working areas of your paved surface, where your driveway meets the street, garage, sidewalk, or other surfaces. These connection points endure the heaviest stress and most concentrated wear, making proper construction essential. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds aprons and transitions on Long Island that meet all local code requirements.
Many towns in Nassau and Suffolk County require concrete aprons regardless of your driveway material, with specific dimensions, thickness, and drainage requirements that vary by municipality. For concrete aprons, we install a minimum six-inch reinforced slab with air-entrained concrete rated for vehicular use. We also specialize in garage transitions (pitched away from the structure with channel drains to prevent flooding) and sidewalk crossings built to ADA standards.
Drainage is critical at transition points where water naturally collects. We incorporate channel drains, trench drains, or graded swales to capture and redirect runoff, protecting your garage and foundation from Long Island's heavy rainfall.
Merrick is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Merrick is a thriving South Shore hamlet in Nassau County, home to a strong community of homeowners who take pride in their properties. Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway serve as the primary commercial corridors, while residential streets like Hewlett Avenue, Frankel Boulevard, and Camp Avenue feature Colonials, ranches, and split-levels on well-kept lots. The Bellmore-Merrick Central School District is a major attraction for families. Merrick's canal neighborhoods along Merrick Bay offer waterfront living, where dock access and marine considerations influence hardscaping choices. Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve provides green space along the waterfront. Brothers Paving understands the South Shore's specific needs, including proper drainage solutions for low-lying areas, durable materials that resist salt exposure, and designs that complement the area's established residential character while modernizing outdoor spaces.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our aprons & transitions solutions are designed for Merrick's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Merrick's bayside location means the water table can rise to within a few feet of the surface during wet seasons, making subsurface drainage design a critical element of any paving project. The flat, sandy soils provide easy excavation but poor load-bearing capacity without a properly constructed aggregate base. Many postwar homes in the community have original concrete walks and asphalt driveways showing decades of settlement and surface deterioration from salt exposure.
