Expert pool drainage for Merrick homeowners. South Shore, strong homeowner market
Proper drainage around a swimming pool is essential for protecting your pool structure, maintaining a safe patio surface, and preserving the longevity of your hardscape investment. At Brothers Paving & Masonry, we design and install comprehensive pool drainage systems for Long Island homeowners that manage every source of water around the pool area, including splash-out, deck washing, stormwater runoff, and rising groundwater. Standing water on a pool deck is a serious slip hazard. Beneath the surface, saturated soil undermines the compacted base that supports your pavers, leading to settling and freeze-thaw heaving during Long Island winters.
The pool structure itself is also at risk: water flowing behind the coping and into the bond beam area deteriorates concrete and corrodes reinforcing steel, and in winter, infiltrated water can freeze and cause cracking. Our drainage systems address all of these threats by grading the patio surface toward designated collection points and installing the right combination of drain types for your property.
Our pool drainage solutions include channel drains (trench drains) installed flush with the patio surface to intercept sheet flow, slot drains for a more discreet modern look, and point drains positioned at strategic low spots. For subsurface water, we install perforated pipe within the aggregate base to intercept groundwater before it saturates the subgrade, especially important on Long Island properties with high water tables or clay-heavy soils. All piping is installed with proper pitch for gravity flow, using solid PVC for transport lines and perforated pipe for collection zones, with cleanout access points at turns and junctions. We also integrate equipment pad drainage and filter backwash routing into the overall system so every water source is managed within a single, cohesive plan. Our systems serve homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk County, including South Shore and coastal communities where tidal influence and storm surge create additional groundwater challenges.
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 pool drainage 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.
