Expert aprons & transitions for Plandome Heights homeowners. Elevated hillside village, Manhasset Bay views, steep terrain
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.
Plandome Heights is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Plandome Heights is a small, affluent incorporated village perched on elevated terrain above Manhasset Bay, offering residents commanding views and a quiet residential atmosphere. The village sits between Plandome and Manhasset, with homes set along winding streets that follow the natural contours of the hillside. The elevated position means many properties have steeply graded driveways and terraced yards that present both aesthetic opportunities and engineering challenges for hardscape installations.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our aprons & transitions solutions are designed for Plandome Heights's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Plandome Heights occupies some of the steepest residential terrain in the Manhasset Bay area, with driveways that pitch sharply uphill from the surrounding lower communities. This elevation creates excellent natural drainage but demands precise grading to prevent water from accelerating down paved surfaces and eroding base material at transitions. The glacial clay subsoil is dense and slow to drain, requiring subsurface drainage systems beneath patios and walkways to prevent frost heave damage during Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles.
