Expert steps & landings for Merrick homeowners. South Shore, strong homeowner market
Exterior steps and landings connect different elevations around your home, from the sidewalk to the stoop, the yard to the porch, or a patio to a raised deck area. They endure constant foot traffic, direct weather exposure, and the full force of Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles. Cracked, uneven, or crumbling steps are among the leading causes of slip-and-fall injuries at residential properties, and the risks are compounded by winter ice on already compromised surfaces.
Brothers Paving builds and rebuilds masonry steps and landings that are structurally sound, code compliant, and finished with materials that enhance your home's appearance. We construct risers and treads from brick, concrete block, natural stone, or poured concrete, with landings sized to meet New York State building code requirements, typically a minimum of 36 inches in the direction of travel.
Our construction process begins with an evaluation of existing conditions, followed by demolition and excavation as needed. We pour footings below the frost line (approximately 36 inches on Long Island), build the step structure with consistent riser heights and tread depths, and finish with bluestone, brownstone, granite, brick, or natural stone caps. We use air-entrained mortar, install drainage behind and beneath step structures, and add code-compliant railings where required. Steps are integrated with your existing stoop, porch, walkway, or retaining wall for a unified look across Nassau and Suffolk County properties.
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 steps & landings 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.
