Expert hardscape lighting for Plainview homeowners. Mid-to-high residential, strong paving demand
Hardscape lighting unlocks the full potential of your outdoor living space after sunset. Brothers Paving designs and installs professional LED low-voltage lighting systems that illuminate patios, walkways, seating walls, steps, and outdoor structures with warm, inviting light. On Long Island, where entertaining regularly carries past dusk, a well-designed lighting system ensures your outdoor space is as functional and beautiful in the evening as it is at midday. Beyond atmosphere, lighting is one of the most important safety features you can add, illuminating steps, grade changes, and pool surrounds dramatically reduces the risk of trips and falls, especially when guests are unfamiliar with your yard. Long Island real estate agents report that homes with quality outdoor lighting consistently attract more buyer interest and command higher offers.
We exclusively use LED low-voltage systems because they offer the best combination of energy efficiency, longevity, and safety. LED fixtures last 40,000 to 50,000 hours and operate on 12 volts, making them safe near water features and gathering areas. Our fixture range includes recessed step lights installed flush into risers, wall wash lights mounted beneath seating wall caps, path lights along walkways, spotlights for accent trees and focal points, and under-cap lights for pillars and columns. Fixtures come in finishes from antique bronze to natural brass, with warm white color temperatures (2700K-3000K) as our standard for residential settings. All wiring is run in conduit or direct-burial cable, routed beneath hardscaping to remain hidden, with waterproof connections throughout.
Every system is designed with independent zones (pathway lighting, seating area ambiance, cooking area task lighting, and accent lighting) each controllable separately. Timers, photocells, and smart home integration are available for automated operation. All fixtures, wiring, and connections are rated to withstand Long Island rain, snow, salt air, and temperature extremes using corrosion-resistant materials. For existing patios and structures across Nassau and Suffolk County, we use retrofit techniques that minimize disruption to your current hardscaping.
Plainview is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Plainview is a well-established residential community in central Nassau County, built largely during the post-war suburban expansion. The hamlet's streets are lined with ranch homes, split-levels, and Colonials, many of which are undergoing significant renovations and upgrades by a new generation of homeowners. Washington Avenue and Old Country Road frame the community, with residential neighborhoods branching off in orderly grids. Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District draws families to the area, and rising property values have fueled demand for exterior improvements. Driveway replacements are especially popular as original asphalt from the 1950s and 60s reaches end of life. Brothers Paving has completed hundreds of projects in Plainview, from full driveway reconstructions with proper grading and drainage to decorative paver walkways that modernize mid-century homes.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our hardscape lighting solutions are designed for Plainview's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Plainview's postwar Levitt-style housing stock features thousands of homes with original concrete walkways and asphalt driveways now well past their serviceable lifespan. The flat Hempstead Plain terrain and compacted sandy outwash soils make for straightforward excavation and grading, though the shallow topsoil layer can complicate planting adjacent to new hardscapes. Freeze-thaw cycling combined with road salt tracked onto driveways is the primary cause of surface scaling and joint failure in this area.
