Expert fireplaces for Merrick homeowners. South Shore, strong homeowner market
An outdoor fireplace is the ultimate statement piece for a Long Island patio. Unlike a firepit, a fireplace directs warmth forward toward your seating area, provides a dramatic vertical focal point, and manages smoke through a chimney, delivering a level of sophistication that sets your backyard apart. Brothers Paving designs and constructs custom outdoor fireplaces across Nassau and Suffolk County, extending your outdoor season well into fall and early spring when temperatures dip into the 40s and 50s.
We build fireplaces using fire-rated brick, concrete block, and your choice of exterior finish: stacked natural stone for a rustic look, cut bluestone for a classic feel, or manufactured stone veneer for a clean contemporary appearance. The interior firebox is constructed with firebrick and refractory mortar to withstand extreme heat. Custom mantels in natural stone, cast stone, or wood beam styles add character, and configurations range from standard single-sided designs to two-sided see-through fireplaces that divide patio zones. Integrated wood storage, shelving, and TV mounting areas are also available.
Construction starts with a reinforced concrete footing extending below the frost line to support the structure. The fireplace is built course by course with steel reinforcement as needed, and the chimney is constructed to proper height with a cap and spark arrestor. Both wood-burning and gas fuel options are available. We use materials rated for Long Island freeze-thaw exposure and seal all masonry joints to prevent water infiltration.
Merrick is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Merrick is a thriving South Shore hamlet in Nassau County, home to a strong community of homeowners who take pride in their properties. Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway serve as the primary commercial corridors, while residential streets like Hewlett Avenue, Frankel Boulevard, and Camp Avenue feature Colonials, ranches, and split-levels on well-kept lots. The Bellmore-Merrick Central School District is a major attraction for families. Merrick's canal neighborhoods along Merrick Bay offer waterfront living, where dock access and marine considerations influence hardscaping choices. Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve provides green space along the waterfront. Brothers Paving understands the South Shore's specific needs, including proper drainage solutions for low-lying areas, durable materials that resist salt exposure, and designs that complement the area's established residential character while modernizing outdoor spaces.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our fireplaces solutions are designed for Merrick's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Merrick's bayside location means the water table can rise to within a few feet of the surface during wet seasons, making subsurface drainage design a critical element of any paving project. The flat, sandy soils provide easy excavation but poor load-bearing capacity without a properly constructed aggregate base. Many postwar homes in the community have original concrete walks and asphalt driveways showing decades of settlement and surface deterioration from salt exposure.
