Patio Extensions

If your current patio feels too small for your family or your entertaining needs, a paver patio extension from Brothers Paving is the perfect solution. Rather than tearing out and replacing your entire patio, we can expand your existing outdoor surface seamlessly, giving you the additional space you need without the cost and disruption of a full rebuild. We have helped countless Long Island homeowners maximize their backyards with thoughtfully designed patio extensions that blend perfectly with the original installation.

A patio extension is ideal when your family has outgrown your current space. Maybe you added a grill or outdoor kitchen and now need more room for dining. Perhaps you want a dedicated seating area away from the cooking zone. Or maybe you simply want more open space for kids to play and guests to mingle. Whatever the reason, extending your patio is a smart, cost-effective way to dramatically improve the functionality and enjoyment of your outdoor area.

The property value benefits of a patio extension are significant. Additional outdoor living square footage is a major selling point for Long Island homes, and buyers are willing to pay a premium for a well-designed, generous-sized patio. By extending your patio, you are not just making your home more enjoyable today; you are making a sound investment in its future resale value.

Our process for patio extensions starts with a thorough assessment of your existing patio. We evaluate the current base, the condition of the pavers, the drainage patterns, and the surrounding landscape to determine the best approach for the extension. We then work with you to design the expanded layout, selecting pavers that match or complement your existing surface. In many cases, we can source the same paver style and color to create a seamless look. When an exact match is not available, we use complementary materials and design techniques such as contrasting borders to create a cohesive, intentional appearance.

The construction process mirrors the same high standards we apply to every Brothers Paving project. We excavate the extension area to the proper depth, install geotextile fabric, and build up a compacted aggregate base that meets or exceeds industry specifications. The new pavers are set with precision, and we carefully integrate the extension with the existing patio edge to ensure a smooth, level transition. Polymeric sand is swept into all joints and activated with water to lock the pavers in place and prevent weed growth.

We offer a full range of materials for patio extensions including interlocking concrete pavers, natural bluestone, travertine, and porcelain pavers. Popular extension designs on Long Island include curved bump-outs for a dining table, L-shaped expansions that wrap around the corner of the house, and large rectangular additions that double the usable space. We also frequently incorporate features like built-in seating walls, fire pit pads, and step-downs to different yard levels as part of the extension project.

Long Island climate considerations are factored into every extension we build. Proper drainage is critical, especially when expanding toward areas of the yard that may collect water. We ensure the grade of the extension directs water away from your foundation and does not create pooling on the surface. Our base preparation accounts for the freeze-thaw cycles that can shift and heave poorly built patios, so your extension will remain level and stable for years to come.

Maintaining a patio extension requires no more effort than maintaining the original patio. Regular sweeping, occasional rinsing, and periodic re-application of polymeric sand are all it takes to keep the surface looking great. We recommend having the entire patio, both original and extension, sealed at the same time to ensure uniform color and protection.
