Pool Surround Renovations in Russell Gardens, NY

A pool surround renovation is one of the most transformative projects a Long Island homeowner can undertake. If your pool area has cracked concrete, faded pavers, deteriorating coping, or drainage issues that leave standing water after every rain, a complete renovation restores safety, beauty, and functionality to your entire outdoor space. At Brothers Paving & Masonry, we specialize in full-scope pool surround renovations across Nassau and Suffolk County that address every element from the coping edge to the patio perimeter.

Many Long Island pools were built decades ago with poured concrete surrounds that have since cracked, settled, and become both unsightly and unsafe. Concrete cannot flex with the ground movement caused by freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal soil expansion, leading to widening cracks, trip hazards, and worn surfaces that are dangerously slippery when wet. A pool surround renovation removes the old surface and replaces it with modern interlocking pavers, natural stone, or travertine that offer superior durability, dramatically better aesthetics, and the flexibility to handle Long Island ground conditions without cracking. It is also your opportunity to completely redesign the layout with distinct zones for lounging, dining, and circulation.

Our renovation process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing coping, patio surface, subgrade, and drainage conditions to develop a comprehensive plan. Demolition is performed carefully to protect the pool shell, plumbing, and electrical conduits. We then excavate to proper depth, build a compacted aggregate base in layers verified with laser levels, install new coping along the pool perimeter, and set patio pavers outward from the pool edge. Drainage solutions (channel drains, slot drains, dry well connections) are integrated throughout. We recommend scheduling your consultation in winter or early spring so construction can be completed before Memorial Day.
