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
