Paver Patios in Old Westbury, NY

Old Westbury's terrain is characterized by rolling hills and valleys formed by glacial activity, with soils that range from well-drained sandy loam on hilltops to dense clay in low-lying areas and along stream corridors. This variability means a single large patio project may cross multiple soil types, each requiring different base preparation. Brothers Paving's crews test soil conditions across the full footprint of every Old Westbury project and adjust aggregate depth and drainage provisions zone by zone.

The village's two-acre minimum lot size — and many properties far exceeding that — provides space for ambitious outdoor living designs that aren't possible in denser communities. We regularly build multi-zone patio complexes that span 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, with distinct areas for dining, lounging, cooking, and recreation. The challenge on these large properties is maintaining visual cohesion across expansive hardscape — we achieve this through coordinated material selections, consistent border treatments, and intentional grade transitions.

Many Old Westbury estates have equestrian facilities, and outdoor living spaces often need to integrate with existing barn areas, paddock fencing, and riding paths. We've designed patios that serve as transition zones between the formal grounds near the house and the working landscape beyond — using material changes and level transitions to create natural boundaries.

Old Westbury's historic character — reinforced by landmarks like Old Westbury Gardens — means many homeowners prefer natural or tumbled paver styles that complement their property's traditional architecture. We excel at creating timeless designs with materials like Unilock Beacon Hill, Cambridge Pyzique, or natural bluestone in irregular patterns that feel organic to the estate setting.
