Outdoor Living in Sands Point, NY

Sands Point occupies the northernmost tip of the Port Washington peninsula, surrounded by Long Island Sound on three sides. Properties along Sands Point Road, Lighthouse Road, and Barkers Point Road command sweeping water views that make outdoor living spaces the most used and most valued rooms on the property. Our designs are oriented to capture these views — positioning dining terraces, fireplace seating areas, and fire pit lounges to face the Sound and the sunset.

The village's estate lots — many exceeding three to five acres — provide room for outdoor living complexes that rival commercial hospitality spaces. We have designed Sands Point projects with dedicated outdoor kitchens, separate bar pavilions, formal fireplace terraces, casual fire pit zones, and even outdoor cigar lounges — all connected by paver walkways with lighting and landscaping that create a resort-like progression through the grounds.

Sands Point's exposed coastal position creates the most demanding conditions on Long Island for outdoor construction materials. Prevailing winds off the Sound carry salt spray deep into properties, even those not directly on the waterfront. Every material specification must account for this — marine-grade stainless, hot-dipped galvanized steel structure, natural stone that patinas gracefully, sealed hardwoods or composite decking for pergola and pavilion flooring, and lighting fixtures rated for coastal salt environments.

The Village of Sands Point maintains strict building and zoning oversight with its own architectural review board. All outdoor structures, gas installations, and electrical work require village permits, and designs must comply with setback, height, and impervious coverage limits. Brothers Paving manages the entire permit and review process, ensuring approvals are secured before construction begins.
