Outdoor Living in Malverne, NY

Malverne is an incorporated village in the Town of Hempstead, bordered by Lynbrook, West Hempstead, and Franklin Square. The community is characterized by well-maintained older homes — Tudors, Colonials, and Capes — on lots that are on the compact side, typically a fifth to a quarter of an acre. The tree-lined streets and village atmosphere make outdoor living spaces particularly appealing, as they extend the warm, residential character of the community into the backyard.

Working on Malverne lots requires design precision. With neighbors nearby and yards that are cozy rather than sprawling, every element must earn its place in the layout. We use multi-function design strategies — kitchen islands that incorporate bar seating, seating walls that define the fire pit area while serving as garden borders, and house-mounted pergolas that create overhead definition without consuming precious ground space. The result is an outdoor room that feels complete and spacious despite the compact footprint.

The terrain in Malverne is flat with soils typical of the southern Nassau County outwash plain — sandy loam that drains reasonably well. The dense residential development throughout the village means stormwater management matters; all outdoor living surfaces are graded to drain away from the home and neighboring properties, with drainage infrastructure added where lot geometry demands it.

The Village of Malverne has its own building department that processes permits for structures, gas installations, and electrical work. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our project management, ensuring everything is code-compliant and properly documented for village records.
