Concrete Contractors in Suffolk County, NY
Suffolk County reaches from Babylon and Huntington out to Southold and East Hampton at the eastern end of Long Island. It is divided into ten towns, and the state lists 32 incorporated villages alongside them, each of which may set its own building rules.
Ten towns and their villages
New York State lists Suffolk's ten towns as Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Huntington, Islip, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Smithtown, Southampton and Southold, and the county has no cities among its municipalities. A driveway or sidewalk permit comes from your town, or from your village if you live in one.
Suffolk's home improvement license
Suffolk County licenses home improvement contractors under its county code, and the code's definition of home improvement contracting lists driveways. The same code sets up a Home Improvement Contractor Restitution Fund that can compensate homeowners who deal with a licensed contractor.
Ask for the Suffolk license number before signing. A contractor licensed only in Nassau or New York City isn't licensed in Suffolk by that alone.
Moraines, outwash and the 811 call
The Ronkonkoma and Harbor Hill moraines run through Long Island, and the U.S. Geological Survey describes sand-to-boulder outwash deposits south of them. Digging for a driveway or patio in that ground can turn up anything from sand to boulders, and loose sand calls for careful base compaction.
New York 811 handles locate requests for Suffolk, and excavators must contact it at least two working days and no more than 10 before digging, under the state's Part 753 rules.
