Professional Driveway Installation & Replacement on Long Island

If your driveway is cracked, sunken, or worn out, it’s dragging down your property’s curb appeal and value. Complete Landscaping & Masonry specializes in complete driveway rip-out and replacement — transforming deteriorated concrete and asphalt into beautiful, durable paver or concrete driveways that last for decades.

We handle every phase of the project: demolition and removal of the existing driveway, excavation to proper depth, gravel base installation and compaction, and precision paver or concrete installation. Our driveway projects use the same rigorous base preparation standards as our commercial work — because your driveway needs to support vehicle traffic without shifting or settling.

As a local 2nd generation family-owned company with over 40 years of experience, we understand Long Island’s freeze-thaw conditions and soil types. Every driveway we install is built to handle the weight, weather, and wear that Nassau and Suffolk County driveways endure.

Common Questions

Driveway Installation FAQs

How much does a new driveway cost on Long Island?

Paver driveways on Long Island typically cost $30-$55 per square foot installed. Concrete driveways range from $12-$25 per square foot. A typical 600 sq ft driveway might cost $18,000-$33,000 for pavers or $7,200-$15,000 for concrete.

How long does a driveway replacement take?

Most driveway replacements take 5-10 days from demolition to completion, depending on size and material choice. Weather delays can extend the timeline during wet periods.

Pavers vs. concrete — which is better for Long Island?

Pavers are generally superior for Long Island because they flex independently during freeze-thaw cycles, making them less prone to cracking than poured concrete. They're also easier to repair — individual pavers can be replaced without redoing the entire surface.

Do you handle the old driveway removal?

Yes. We handle complete demolition and disposal of your existing driveway — whether it's concrete, asphalt, or old pavers. The cost is included in our estimate.

Will my new driveway need maintenance?

Paver driveways benefit from annual polymeric sand top-up and optional sealing every 3-5 years. Concrete driveways should be sealed every 2-3 years. We offer maintenance programs for both.
