My husband and I purchased our home in 2002 and did a complete remodel. We had a hard time finding anyone that would do a job that they promised us, from spacklers to landscapers. We had several estimates for our driveway and though some were less expensive we chose Gappsi. Giuseppe personally came to our home, sat down with us and went through all the options we had with stones. He promised us that he would design something for us and we would be happy. Well he did exactly that!! My husband was concerned with the weight of his Dodge truck and trailer leaving a groove over time, well its been 9 years and the only grooves are the ones between stones… Ha Ha. His crew was amazing; they worked through the snow and freezing weather. We wanted our driveway to be “different” then all the other ones out there and Guiseppe came through with adding a beautiful Butterfly design at the bottom of my stairs that I love to see when leaving my house. Our experience was by far one of the best we’ve had with any contractor. We are sorry that Gappsi was not doing landscaping at the time or we would have had them do that too! Great Guy to work with and Worth Every Penny!!!!

Nassau county swimming pools-Natural stone patios long island
By Happy Gappsi Customers
We had our swimming pool built & had Gappsi design & install the entire backyard. The backyard patio had to be elevated because of the high water table since we are on the water. Gappsi suggested the use of Hanover cedar blend chapel walls in mixed sizes of 3 & 6 inches. The layout incorporated a hot tub area & a fire pit & all the paving materials around the swimming pool. Backyard patios & walkways were Galattico Travertine we selected from Gappsi showroom. We also used a Rosato Travertine border throughout. For our driveway Gappsi installed Nicolock stone ridge oyster blend paving stones. Everything came out beautiful. I wouldn’t have done anything differently. Thanks again. Al & Lori West Islip
