NYC Sidewalk Pros is a New York City, New York sidewalk installation and repair contractor serving homeowners, businesses, co-op & condo boards and municipalities across the five boroughs since 2008.
Brooklyn has the most original bluestone sidewalks left in NYC and some of the city's most aggressive root-heaving from mature street trees. NYC Sidewalk Pros restores, replaces and re-beds Brooklyn sidewalks across every neighborhood, in full compliance with NYC DOT and Brooklyn's many historic district requirements.
Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill are still mostly Pennsylvania bluestone. Williamsburg, Bushwick, Greenpoint and DUMBO have transitioned to concrete with bluestone accents. We work in both materials, often on the same block, and finish to match adjacent surfaces.

Brooklyn's mature street trees — especially the London plane trees that line so many residential blocks — cause more root-heaving sidewalk damage than anywhere else in NYC. We install HDPE root barriers as part of every Brooklyn pour where mature trees are present, redirecting roots downward instead of letting them lift the new slab two winters later.
Brooklyn's co-op and condo market has exploded in the last decade, and many newer buildings have inherited sidewalk maintenance obligations they're only just starting to understand. We work with FirstService Residential, AKAM and Halstead on Brooklyn condo portfolios and run multi-year maintenance programs for boards across the borough.

Bluestone runs about 3× the cost of concrete per square foot, but lasts 75-150 years properly installed. In LPC districts, bluestone is required.
Not if a root barrier is installed. Without one, mature trees can lift a new slab within 5-10 years. With a properly installed 24" or 36" HDPE barrier, recurrence is <5%.
