Driveways in Westbury, NY

Westbury's housing stock is a mix of post-war Cape Cods and ranches from the 1950s along with newer construction and renovated homes closer to the village center. Many original driveways are narrow single-car-width asphalt surfaces that have been patched and overlaid multiple times over seven decades. These aging surfaces often have compromised bases that no amount of resurfacing can fix — full removal and replacement with a proper aggregate base is the only lasting solution.

The soils beneath Westbury are typical Nassau County glacial outwash — mostly sandy with good percolation, but with clay pockets that can trap water beneath driveway surfaces. Brothers Paving evaluates soil conditions on every Westbury project and adjusts base depth and drainage design accordingly. Our standard residential installation includes a minimum 6-inch compacted aggregate base with proper grading to direct water away from your foundation.

Westbury's proximity to the Meadowbrook State Parkway and Old Country Road means many properties experience heavier traffic patterns than typical residential streets. We recommend a minimum 3-inch asphalt thickness for standard residential driveways in Westbury, with increased thickness for properties with regular truck or commercial vehicle access.

The Village of Westbury has its own building department with specific requirements for driveway work, including setback requirements and impervious surface limits. Brothers Paving handles all permit research and applications as part of our service, ensuring your project meets village code from day one.
