Professional Hardscaping & Patio Installation on Long Island

A well-designed patio or walkway extends your living space outdoors and adds lasting value to your property. Complete Landscaping & Masonry specializes in custom hardscaping — from intimate backyard patios to expansive outdoor living areas with fire pits, seating walls, and outdoor kitchens.

We work exclusively with premium paver systems from Unilock, Cambridge, and Belgard, as well as natural stone including bluestone, travertine, and flagstone. Every installation begins with proper excavation, compacted gravel base, and leveling sand — the foundation work that separates a patio that lasts decades from one that shifts and settles within years.

Our hardscaping projects are designed to complement your home’s architecture and your landscape. We integrate drainage, lighting conduit, and irrigation access into the hardscape plan so future additions don’t require tearing up finished work.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Hardscaping Lasts

Premium Materials Only

We use Unilock, Cambridge, and Belgard paver systems with lifetime warranties, plus natural stone sourced from trusted quarries.

Proper Base Construction

Every patio gets 6-8 inches of compacted gravel base and 1 inch of leveling sand — exceeding ICPI standards for Long Island's freeze-thaw conditions.

Integrated Drainage

We pitch every patio for proper water runoff and install channel drains or French drains where needed to prevent pooling and foundation damage.

Design Flexibility

From herringbone patterns to custom borders, inlays, and mixed materials — we create unique designs that reflect your personal style.

Design Consultation

We visit your property to discuss layout, material preferences, and budget. You'll receive a scaled design drawing with material samples.

Excavation & Base Prep

We excavate to the proper depth, install geotextile fabric, and compact 6-8 inches of gravel base in lifts for maximum stability.

4

Paver Installation

Pavers are laid on leveling sand with precision cuts, proper joint spacing, and polymeric sand for a finished, weed-resistant surface.

5

Sealing & Completion

Optional paver sealing for enhanced color and stain protection. Final cleanup, edge restraint installation, and walkthrough.

Common Questions

Hardscaping & Patio FAQs

How much does a paver patio cost on Long Island?

Paver patios on Long Island typically range from $25 to $50 per square foot installed, depending on the paver brand, pattern complexity, and site conditions. A 300 sq ft patio might cost $7,500-$15,000. Natural stone patios range from $35-$65 per square foot.

How long does a patio installation take?

Most residential patios take 3-7 days from excavation to completion. Larger projects with seating walls, fire pits, or outdoor kitchens may take 2-3 weeks.

Do pavers crack in Long Island winters?

Quality pavers are designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. Unlike poured concrete, individual pavers flex independently, making them far more resistant to cracking. Proper base preparation is the key to preventing shifting.

Should I seal my pavers?

Sealing is optional but recommended. It enhances color, provides stain protection, and hardens the polymeric sand in the joints. We recommend sealing after 6-12 months to allow the pavers to fully cure.

Can you add a fire pit or outdoor kitchen to my patio?

Yes. We design and build custom fire pits, seating walls, outdoor kitchens, and pergola foundations as part of your hardscape project. Gas and electric connections require a licensed plumber/electrician, which we coordinate.
