Professional retaining walls for Levittown homeowners. Historic first American suburb with renovation demand
Levittown homeowners trust Brothers Paving & Masonry for retaining wall installations that bring structure, dimension, and modern outdoor living to America's most iconic postwar suburb. From the original Cape Cods and ranches along Hempstead Turnpike to the expanded and renovated homes throughout this sprawling community, our retaining walls create raised patios, tiered planting beds, pool surrounds, and seat walls that give Levittown's uniform flat lots the design depth they need to become genuine outdoor living spaces.
Our Levittown retaining wall projects are designed to transform mid-century properties — adding the outdoor structure and visual interest that the original 1947-1951 development never included. Seat walls that define patio zones, tiered planters that add vertical dimension, structural walls that create raised entertaining areas — these elements turn basic flat lots into layered, intentional backyards.
Every wall we build in Levittown includes a frost-depth footing, compacted aggregate base, and engineered drainage behind the wall face. We install Cambridge, Nicolock, Belgard, and Unilock interlocking wall systems that require zero maintenance and resist freeze-thaw cycles indefinitely.
Levittown is Nassau County's largest community by population and the birthplace of American postwar suburbia. The development's original homes — Cape Cods, ranches, and expanded ranches — were built on a uniform grid of flat, modest lots between 1947 and 1951. While many homes have been significantly expanded and renovated since, the lots themselves remain flat, uniform, and in need of the structural outdoor elements that the original builders never considered.
This uniformity is precisely why retaining walls make such a dramatic impact in Levittown. When every lot is flat and similar in size, a homeowner who adds a 24-inch raised patio with seat walls, tiered planting beds, or a pool surround wall immediately stands out. The manufactured grade change breaks the visual monotony and creates outdoor spaces that feel designed rather than default.
Levittown's soil is typical central Nassau — sandy loam over mixed subsoil with a moderate water table. Conditions are favorable for standard retaining wall construction with proper drainage engineering. The uniform lot sizes (typically 60 by 100 feet) provide adequate space for most wall designs including geogrid reinforcement on taller walls.
Levittown is split between the Town of Hempstead (southern sections) and the Town of Oyster Bay (northern sections). The applicable building department depends on your property's location. Brothers Paving determines jurisdiction, researches permit requirements, and handles all applications.

Learn MoreLevittown straddles the Town of Hempstead and Town of Oyster Bay boundary — the applicable building department depends on your specific property location. Both towns require permits for walls over 4 feet. We determine jurisdiction and handle all applications. Soil conditions are standard central Nassau — sandy loam over mixed subsoil with moderate drainage and water table. Standard 12-inch gravel beds with perforated pipe handle typical conditions. Levittown's uniform 60x100-foot lots provide adequate space for standard wall designs and geogrid reinforcement. Many original Levittown homes have been expanded with additions and pools, creating existing hardscape and utility runs that we survey and design around.
