Medford sits in a transition zone between the moraine terrain to the north and the flatter outwash plain toward Patchogue. This north-to-south transition means properties here sit on varied ground. If you need a masonry contractor in Medford, NY, you want someone who assesses your specific lot carefully. Nelson Perna offers over 20 years of hands-on experience, and he does the work himself without subcontractors.
The soil ranges from sandy loam to loamy sand, and on the eastern edge near the Pine Barrens, it is very sandy. This offers excellent drainage but requires deeper base compaction to prevent shifting under heavy loads. Nelson ensures every driveway and patio in Medford has the proper base depth to last.
We frequently work in nearby Patchogue and Holtsville, and most of our jobs come from referrals from neighbors in Medford and surrounding communities. When you hire us, you get durable work built right the first time.
