Many backyards in Suffolk County have a common problem: an old concrete patio that's cracked, ugly, and hazardous. Or maybe you have pavers that are sinking and uneven, causing water to pool near your foundation after it rains. A backyard nobody uses is a waste of space and value. At Perna Masonry, we specialize in transforming these neglected areas into beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces.
Nelson Perna is the owner and lead mason with over 20 years of hands-on experience building for the Long Island climate. He does the work himself and never uses subcontractors. This means you get a level of quality and accountability that big companies just can't match. When Nelson installs a patio in Farmingville, NY, he treats it as if it were his own home. He understands how the Long Island freeze-thaw cycles can destroy a patio if the foundation isn't built right.
Most of our patio jobs come from referrals from neighbors in Holtsville, Selden, and Medford who have seen our work firsthand. We focus on proper base preparation because we know that the most beautiful patio is worthless if it starts sinking in three years. We build patios that are designed to last for the lifetime of your house.
Paver and Bluestone Patios Built for Long Island
We specialize in paver patio installation using top-tier materials like Cambridge Pavers with ArmorTec and Nicolock with Paver Shield. These materials are specifically designed to resist fading and hold up against the harsh salt and sun of Suffolk County. We can install various patterns including running bond, herringbone, and basketweave. You can choose from a wide range of colors like charcoal, harvest blend, brownstone, tan, and slate gray. We finish every job with high-quality polymeric sand joints to prevent weeds and ants from moving in.
For a more natural look, we offer Pennsylvania bluestone patio installation. You can choose between a thermal finish, which provides a smooth and uniform surface, or a natural cleft finish, which has a more rustic and textured feel. Bluestone is incredibly durable and provides a timeless, high-end look that complements almost any Long Island home. We also work with flagstone and travertine for homeowners who want a truly unique premium stone appearance in their backyard.
The most important part of any patio installation is the base preparation. This is where most contractors take shortcuts to save time and money. At Perna Masonry, we excavate to the proper depth and install a fully compacted gravel sub-base followed by a precision sand setting bed. Without this, your pavers will eventually sink, shift, or heave during the winter. We've fixed dozens of patios where the original installer skipped these steps, and we make sure it never happens on a Perna Masonry job.
Proper drainage and slope are critical for protecting your home's foundation. We ensure every patio has the correct pitch to move water away from the house. If you've noticed that water pools near your foundation, a new patio with proper grading can often solve that problem. We integrate drainage solutions directly into the hardscape design to keep your basement dry and your yard usable even after a heavy Suffolk County rainstorm.
Whether you want a simple spot for a grill or a massive outdoor living space with a built-in firepit and seat walls, we handle the entire project from start to finish. We work with you to choose the right tumbled or smooth finishes to match your style and the architecture of your home. Our goal is to create a space that you'll love using for decades.
