Your Property Gets the Upgrade It Deserves

You’re tired of looking at cracked walkways and crumbling steps. You want masonry work that actually holds up to Long Island’s harsh winters and doesn’t need constant repairs.

That’s exactly what you get with professional masonry services. Your driveway handles heavy snow loads without cracking. Your patio becomes the entertaining space you’ve always wanted. Your walkways stay level and safe for years.

The difference is in the foundation work and material selection. When masonry is done right the first time, you’re not calling for repairs every few seasons. You’re enjoying your outdoor space instead of worrying about it.

Hewlett Masonry Construction Company

25+ Years Serving Nassau County

We’ve been handling masonry projects throughout Hewlett and Nassau County since the late 1990s. We’ve seen every type of soil condition, drainage challenge, and weather pattern this area throws at properties.

The Five Towns area presents unique challenges. Properties here deal with coastal moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and the need for materials that match the area’s established aesthetic. We understand these local conditions because we’ve been working in them for over two decades.

Our team knows which materials perform best in Hewlett’s climate and which installation methods prevent the common problems that plague masonry work in this region.

Masonry Installation Process Hewlett

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your property and discuss what you want to accomplish. We look at drainage, soil conditions, and how the new masonry will integrate with your existing landscape and architecture.

Next, we prepare the site properly. This means excavation to the right depth, proper base preparation, and ensuring water drains away from your foundation. Most masonry problems start with shortcuts in the preparation phase.

Then we install your masonry using proven techniques and quality materials. We work systematically, keeping the job site clean and organized. You’ll see progress each day, and we’ll communicate if weather or other factors affect the timeline.

Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you. We explain proper maintenance and make sure you’re satisfied with every detail before we consider the job complete.

Masonry Repair Services Hewlett

Complete Masonry Solutions for Your Property

Our masonry services cover everything from small repairs to complete installations. We handle brick and stone veneer, paver patios and driveways, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces.

In Hewlett, we frequently work on properties that need masonry repairs due to settling, freeze-thaw damage, or poor original installation. We also handle new construction projects where homeowners want to add value and functionality to their outdoor spaces.

The coastal location means we often recommend specific materials and techniques that resist salt air and moisture. We source materials from established suppliers like Valley Supply, which has served Nassau County for over 60 years with high-quality products.

Whether you need a complete driveway replacement or repair work on existing masonry, we approach each project with the same attention to detail and commitment to long-term performance.

How long does masonry work typically last in Hewlett's climate?

Properly installed masonry work in Hewlett should last 25-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key factors are proper foundation preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for freeze-thaw cycles. We see masonry failures most often when the original installation cut corners on base preparation or used materials not suited for Long Island’s climate. When we install masonry, we excavate to below the frost line and use proper drainage techniques. The coastal environment here does require specific considerations. We select materials that resist salt air corrosion and use installation methods that prevent water infiltration, which is the primary cause of masonry damage in this area.

What's the difference between repair and replacement for masonry?

Repair makes sense when the foundation and majority of the masonry structure are sound. We can replace individual pavers, repoint mortar joints, or fix isolated settling issues without disturbing the entire installation. Replacement becomes necessary when the foundation has failed, when more than 30% of the masonry is damaged, or when the original installation was done improperly. Sometimes what looks like a simple repair job reveals underlying problems that make replacement more cost-effective. We always assess the entire structure before recommending repair versus replacement. Sometimes a partial replacement of the most damaged sections combined with repairs elsewhere gives you the best long-term value.

How do you handle drainage around masonry installations?

Proper drainage is critical for masonry longevity in Hewlett’s climate. We start by evaluating your property’s natural drainage patterns and identifying any areas where water might collect. For driveways and patios, we install proper base materials that allow water to drain through rather than pooling underneath. We also ensure the finished surface slopes away from your foundation at the correct grade. Around retaining walls and other structures, we install drainage systems behind the wall and use proper backfill materials. This prevents hydrostatic pressure that can cause walls to fail over time.

What permits are required for masonry work in Hewlett?

Most masonry repairs and paver installations don’t require permits in Hewlett. However, retaining walls over 4 feet, driveways that change the grade significantly, or work that affects drainage patterns typically do require permits. We handle the permit process when needed and ensure all work meets local building codes. The Town of Hempstead has specific requirements for setbacks, drainage, and structural elements that we’re familiar with. Before starting any project, we verify what permits are needed and factor that timeline into our project schedule. This prevents delays and ensures your masonry work is compliant with local regulations.

How do you protect existing landscaping during masonry work?

We take several steps to protect your existing landscaping and property. Before starting, we identify valuable plants, established lawn areas, and any irrigation systems that might be affected by our work. We use protective barriers around sensitive plants and plan our equipment access routes to minimize impact on your landscape. When excavation is necessary near established plantings, we hand-dig in those areas to avoid root damage. After completing the masonry work, we restore any disturbed areas and can coordinate with landscaping professionals if significant replanting is needed. Our goal is to enhance your property, not damage what’s already working well.

What maintenance does masonry require after installation?

Masonry maintenance is minimal when the installation is done properly. For paver installations, you’ll need to sweep regularly and rinse occasionally to prevent organic buildup that can cause staining. Every few years, you may need to add sand to paver joints if it washes out, and you might want to apply a sealer to maintain the color and protect against stains. We’ll show you how to do this basic maintenance. For stone and brick work, occasional cleaning and inspection for any settling or joint deterioration is usually sufficient. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on the materials and techniques used in your project.
