Professional walkways & entryways for Island Park homeowners. Barrier island village with coastal challenges
Island Park is a small barrier-island village on Nassau County's south shore — a waterfront community where coastal conditions, flood exposure, and salt air create demands that standard walkway construction cannot meet. Brothers Paving & Masonry installs walkways throughout Island Park using materials and methods engineered for the village's unique environment. From homes rebuilt after Sandy to long-time residents upgrading their entries, we build walkways that handle Island Park's coastal challenges.
Our Island Park walkway projects use materials selected for coastal durability — quality interlocking pavers from Cambridge, Nicolock, and Belgard that resist salt damage, natural bluestone, and poured concrete with enhanced drainage engineering. Every project accounts for the village's low elevation, high water tables, and exposure to salt air and storm conditions.
Every walkway is built on a compacted aggregate base with geotextile fabric, graded for positive drainage, and finished with polymeric sand or sealed joints. We install deeper bases with drainage layers where elevated water tables are a factor — which is common throughout Island Park.
Island Park is an incorporated village on a narrow barrier island between Reynolds Channel and the Atlantic Ocean side communities. The village experienced severe flooding during Superstorm Sandy, and many homes have been elevated, rebuilt, or renovated since. This means walkways often need to handle significant grade transitions between elevated homes and street-level driveways.
The terrain is extremely flat and low-lying — among the lowest elevations in Nassau County. Water tables sit close to the surface, especially during wet seasons and high tides. These conditions demand enhanced base engineering with drainage layers and elevated aggregate bases.
The compact village lots, often 30 to 40 feet wide, mean the front walkway is the most prominent hardscape element. Salt air accelerates surface wear on unprotected materials. We recommend breathable sealers on all walkway surfaces in Island Park.
Island Park has its own village building department with code requirements that may include FEMA flood zone compliance for elevated homes. We manage all permitting and code compliance for every project.

Learn MoreIsland Park presents the most challenging drainage conditions of any community we serve. The extremely low elevation, barrier-island geography, and high water tables mean every walkway requires enhanced base engineering — deeper aggregate bases with clean stone drainage layers, geotextile separation, and precise surface grading. Properties with elevated homes (common post-Sandy) need walkways that transition from stoop height down to driveway grade, sometimes over a short distance. Salt air exposure is constant — we recommend breathable sealers on all surfaces and select materials with proven coastal durability. Island Park's compact lots require efficient worksite management. As an incorporated village with flood zone considerations, permit requirements may be more involved than in other communities.
