Outdoor Living in Upper Brookville, NY

Upper Brookville's multi-acre estates and heavily wooded landscape create an outdoor living environment unlike anywhere else on Long Island. Properties here are measured in acres, not square feet — providing room for the kind of multi-zone outdoor entertainment complexes that simply aren't possible in denser communities. We design Upper Brookville projects with generous spacing between features, natural transitions through landscaped areas, and lit walkways that make the outdoor rooms feel like destinations within the property.

The terrain is rolling and wooded, with the Planting Fields Arboretum forming the cultural and geographic anchor of the village. Properties near the Arboretum share its character — mature specimen trees, established gardens, and a sense of being in the countryside despite proximity to the North Shore villages. Outdoor living designs must honor this landscape quality, and we select materials and design styles that feel native to the setting.

Upper Brookville's inland, protected position shields properties from the coastal salt exposure that challenges waterfront communities, allowing the full range of materials — natural hardwoods for pergolas, standard stainless steel for appliances, manufactured stone veneer where appropriate, and iron or steel decorative elements that would corrode in oceanfront settings.

The Village of Upper Brookville has its own building department and zoning code with minimum setbacks, lot coverage maximums, and structure height limits. Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and pavilions require building permits. Brothers Paving handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections to ensure every project is code-compliant.
