Gappsi offers a range of gravel and stone options for GravelFix driveways, including pea gravel, crushed stone, decomposed granite, river stone, and colored gravels. The choice of gravel affects the appearance, drainage, and texture underfoot. Some gravel types are better suited for vehicle traffic, while others are better for pedestrian paths and garden areas. Gappsi can show you material samples and help you select the right type for your project.

A gabion is a wire mesh cage or box filled with natural stones. Gabion walls and structures have been used in civil engineering for erosion control and are now popular in residential landscape design as retaining walls, garden borders, raised planters, and decorative accents. They have a distinctive, natural look that suits modern, organic, and rustic design styles. Gappsi designs and installs custom gabion structures as standalone features or as part of a larger landscape or masonry project.

Yes. GravelFix stabilized gravel driveways perform well in Long Island’s climate, including freeze-thaw cycles. The permeable grid system prevents gravel displacement and maintains a stable surface throughout the seasons. Gravel can be plowed in winter similarly to asphalt, though care should be taken with snowplows to avoid displacing the top layer. The drainage properties of gravel driveways make them especially advantageous in spring when snowmelt creates runoff challenges for impermeable paved surfaces.

Gravel driveways with GravelFix are generally less expensive than asphalt or paving stone installations, while offering superior drainage and a more natural aesthetic. Maintenance is low; occasional top-dressing with additional gravel every few years is typically all that is needed. Asphalt requires sealing every 2–4 years and eventual repaving. Paving stone has a higher upfront cost but the lowest long-term maintenance. Gappsi can walk you through a cost comparison for your specific driveway dimensions during a consultation.
