Flatbush holds some of Brooklyn’s most distinctive housing: large Victorian homes in Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park, blocks of prewar elevator apartment buildings, and busy retail along Flatbush Avenue, Church Avenue and Cortelyou Road. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs sidewalks, walkways and driveways across the neighborhood.
Detached homes here often have a front walk, a driveway and mature street trees, so sidewalk work rarely stops at the property line. We look at the whole frontage, work around trees under a Parks permit and check the Landmarks rules for the block.

Working in Flatbush
- Prospect Park South, Ditmas Park and Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park are districts where LPC regulates sidewalk paving, so materials and tint must be approved there.
- Victorian houses often have long private front walks and porches, which we can repair in the same visit as the public sidewalk.
- The neighborhood has no NYCHA developments, so most frontages are privately owned homes, co-ops and rental buildings that carry their own sidewalk responsibility.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission regulates sidewalk and curb replacement only in historic districts where historic paving is a significant feature; there, bluestone and granite are kept where possible and new concrete is tinted to match. New or enlarged tree pits need LPC review in every historic district. We check your address against the LPC rules during the estimate.

Flatbush FAQs
Can you repair the front walk and the public sidewalk together?
Yes. Your private walk, steps and the public sidewalk can be done in one visit, and the DOT permit, when one is needed, covers only the public sidewalk.
My house is in Ditmas Park. Do I need Landmarks approval?
Yes, for the sidewalk. Ditmas Park and Prospect Park South are districts where LPC regulates sidewalk paving, so replacement needs approval and new concrete is tinted and scored to match. Ditmas Park West is designated but its paving is not regulated. We check your address before quoting.
Will you cut the tree roots under my sidewalk?
No. City tree roots cannot be cut. We get a Parks Tree Work Permit and form the new sidewalk around the roots.
