Expert driveway borders for Merrick homeowners. South Shore, strong homeowner market
Driveway borders are one of the most impactful upgrades for any Long Island driveway. A well-designed border frames your driveway, defines its edges, and adds visual sophistication that elevates curb appeal. Brothers Paving & Masonry installs borders using Belgian block, pavers, and natural stone to create crisp, elegant edges that complement any driveway surface.
Our most popular material is Belgian block, the classic granite cobblestone that has been a signature detail on Long Island driveways for generations. We also install paver borders with a wide range of colors and styles, plus natural stone options like bluestone and brownstone. Beyond aesthetics, borders act as edge restraints that prevent the driveway surface from spreading or crumbling, which is especially beneficial for asphalt driveways.
We excavate a trench along the edge, set each piece on a compacted base with a concrete footing, and ensure drainage is maintained so borders never trap water on the surface.
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 driveway borders 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.
