LOOKBOOK 2024
We call it
Outdoor Living Perfected
and our clients live it every day.
We LOVE the patio, walkway, and fire pit! It’s beautiful! Truly a work of art. When the crew left, it looked like it had been there for years. Your design is perfect for that space.
—CASEY AND KEYNA C.
Welcome to the World of Gasper
Hear Me Out
Each year we fill our publications with stunning photography of our favorite projects from recent years and the 2024 Landscape Design Lookbook is no exception. This year, however, not only did we want to show you images of the many different types and levels of projects that we take on, but we also wanted to give you a sense of what it would be like to work with Gasper on your next project. So, to that end, we have also included a sampling of what our homeowners had to say about working with us, in their own words. These mini testimonials come from unsolicited letters we are sent after projects are completed, online reviews, as well as direct interviews we conduct with our homeowners for quality control. As the owner, I have to admit there is nothing that makes me happier than to hear that our clients are beyond happy with our work. Who knows? Maybe this time next year it will be your home being featured in our annual LookBook!
Bob GasperSpeaks Volumes
I feel most fortunate to have found Gasper Landscaping, a reliable and detail-oriented company.—JANE S.
Chat Room
Gasper designed and constructed a completely new multi-functional structure. Not only does it serve as an additional two-car garage, but as a pool pavilion as well, complete with a bathroom, a storage room, and an outdoor room for chat.
Gasper Quality ConstructionWho is Gasper?
Sound Off
The Gasper family welcomes you to discover the Gasper difference. See why Gasper has earned the distinction of being the Delaware Valley’s most exceptional landscape design-build company.
The origins of Gasper Landscape Design & Construction began in 1987 when owner Bob Gasper, a self-taught plant enthusiast and designer, landscaped his first home in Holland, PA, the results of which impressed many of his friends and neighbors. Soon more and more homeowners were hiring him to landscape their yards, and Gasper Landscape Design & Construction was created. Today, Bob oversees the entire Gasper organization, which includes the Landscape Construction division, a retail garden center and nursery, a nationally recognized casual furniture store, and a hardscape and building supply store. Keeping it in the family, Bob’s wife, Paula, and their children, Dana and Bob, work and lend their expertise to the company’s landscape and retail divisions.
The Gaspers pride themselves on their love of their family business and their accomplishments in becoming an award-winning and community-loved company. The Gasper family has created a team of sales designers, landscape designers and architects, seasoned craftsmen, carpenters, masons, and horticulturalists who continue to support Bob and Paula’s original vision of delivering top-notch customer service and quality built landscapes.
Gasper had everything all under one roof, which was important to us when choosing a contractor.
We both work and it minimized the number of contacts we had to deal with. I was able to make one phone call, instead of several. I did not have to find a Landscape Architect and an Interior designer.
—DIANA R.We value working with a family business.—JOHN S.
Shop Talk
What is design-build?
A professional design-build firm like Gasper can provide its clients with creative design AND quality construction. Design-build firms have several advantages (which can save both time and money) over those that provide design services only. Design-build saves time because homeowners can streamline their projects with a single company instead of coordinating multiple companies. It saves money because the proposed project costs are known much earlier in the design process, allowing for value engineering of projects to avoid costly design revisions.
Do not think you will sacrifice design quality by choosing a design-build company. At Gasper, our team of professionally trained and accredited landscape designers and PA-licensed landscape architects have decades of experience with any style or size of landscape, hardscape, or carpentry project.

Talk of the Town
What type of work does Gasper do?
Love every inch of your yard while adding curb appeal and value to your property with beautiful landscape, hardscape, and carpentry designs by Gasper Landscape Design & Construction.
From beautiful patios and walkways to walls and masonry structures, such as fireplaces and outdoor kitchens, Gasper’s masons and hardscape specialists employ both expertise and craftsmanship in creating outdoor spaces that will withstand the test of time.
Our team of experienced carpenters construct custom structures that are striking in appearance and purpose. Examples are pergolas, arbors, porches, decks, pool houses, and pavilions. Since all our structures are built in-house, there is no need to hire or coordinate multiple companies to get your entire project complete.
Speaking of Smaller Options …
The size of your property or project is not an issue. Whether you desire a simple planting design or a comprehensive outdoor living space, we have a design option for you. Expect our staff to be creative, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic when we bring your outdoor vision to life.
We
Our experience in working with the Gasper Team has been A-1- from Bob , Chris & Lynn to the outstanding team of Nelson , Freddie and Alejandro that created our patio and pool deck. Each person handles their job with the utmost professionalism.
—NANCY F.John , please know that we are so happy that we have had the chance to work with you again. You truly care about your customers and do a fabulous job making sure everything is right from start to finish. Never once did you make me feel as though I was a bother when I called to check on things. I sincerely appreciated that. I admire your patience. I highly recommend you and Gasper to anyone that I talk with that is thinking about a patio project.
—NICOLA & DAVE L.Kudos to Erik . He truly became a friend throughout this process. He is a phenomenal listener . He asked all the right questions. Erik took our thoughts, modified them with our likes and tastes and the end product was spot on.
—JUDY S.I found Bob Gasper very down to earth. He really was interested in finding out what would work for us.
—JULIA S. Bob Gasper Mike Le Nick Lupinacci Dave Mooney Christina Reeves Cory SchweizerDesign wise, there were very little changes after the presentation. The first design completely captured our initial conversation at the design meeting.
—JOE R.WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT GASPER DESIGNS
We were blown away by Gasper’s design to create a ‘courtyard’ at the front door. It wasn’t anything we would have come up with.
I really like what the Gasper designer (Nick) did in the front. There is always something blooming.
—JUDY F.
Gasper’s design process was what gave us confidence. The design solution was much more creative than the other rudimentary designs we had received. We could tell that the Gasper designer had given it a personal touch.
—MICHAEL G.We had a vision of what we wanted but when we met with Erik Freeman, Erik put our thoughts into a design that we could visualize.
—JUDY S.This
—GREG S. Scan to see my project.WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT GASPER 3-D MODELS
I wouldn’t have been able to conceptualize it, so the model was very helpful.
—SARAH B.
The model was a 3-D version of what the project would look like. It made it easy to see what it would look like and there weren’t any surprises.
—DIANA R.
Scan
Seeing the 3-D model got me really excited. The end production is exactly what they showed us, and even more.
—JOE S.
The 3-D model was helpful because my wife had a harder time visualizing the design, but once she saw the model, she was able to contribute ideas to the design process.
—JIM K.Scan to see my project.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT GASPER CREWS
The crew was unbelievably good. Not only did they do their work, but they clearly enjoyed their work. They were true craftsmen and that is often the difference between coming back for repeat business or not.
The foreman was constantly asking ‘Do you like it?’ Everyone was always interested in keeping us happy. Gasper genuinely wants to make sure their customers are happy.
They were respectful that this is my home and that we lived here … that it wasn’t just a construction site.—KEN S. Scan to see my project. —DON W. Scan to see my project.
A quick note on your amazing crew: We want to mention how extremely happy we were with the guys who labored so hard. They were always on time, so respectful and incredibly professional. We were so pleased.
—NICK AND POONEH M.WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT THE GASPER
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
One of the things we like about working with Gasper is that we always received notifications and good communication about scheduling. You don’t want surprises when working with a contractor. Gasper was upfront about their scheduling. And once they started, they were here every day until they finished. This has not been our experience with other contractors.
—JUDY F.One thing that really struck me was that Erik told us ‘We will not start the job until we have all the pieces.’ And he was true to his word. What this means is that once they started our project, they were able to work continuously on our job. I would say that over the two months that it took to construct our project, the crews were only off site on one day, and that was because of torrential rain.
—JOHN S.As an owner of a company, I recognize the quality of workmanship and quality employees, and I was very impressed that the Gasper crews stayed on the job the entire time. There were no times where they pulled off the job. Everyone from the Gasper team was incredibly polite and respectful. They went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. I am a very picky person, and I could not find anything wrong with Gasper’s work.”
—GREG S. Scan to see my project. Scan to see my project.Another thing that I really appreciated was that they were neat. I usually have to clean up after contractors to make sure the dog doesn’t get into anything, but they did a great job of cleaning up every night. There was no trash.
—ROBBIE B.Scan
WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT GASPER BEING A ONE STOP SHOP
It was good that Gasper is a big company. It was all-in-one. They do the design and the construction, and they also do the design for the furniture.
I really appreciated that it was one-stop shopping … the design … the 3D model … the construction and then the furniture. The team at Gasper made it so much easier by taking the burden off of us.
No other company could do it all.
Everything is through Gasper. Everything was under our sales designer, Erik. We did not want any disconnect through that process. The other companies were either a landscaper or hardscaper and we would have had to contract out for the carpentry.
—STEPHANIE C.The biggest reason we went with Gasper is because Gasper could do all the work in-house. The other companies had to subcontract the work to others. It made sense to go with someone who could do it all, put it all together and manage their time well.
—JULIE C. Scan to see my project. —KEN S. —CHERYL Y. Scan to see my project. This is my project.At the end of the day the quality of the work is for me what is most important. Obviously you want it to be fairly priced, which it was. The quality has been fantastic, and we have been very pleased.
—KEITH G.Having our backyard has meant the world to me. It’s a haven, and a place for gatherings, and still oh so very lovely. I spend a lot of time there. I wanted you to know how your work affected my life just in case nobody tells you that. It was the best money we ever spent.
—CAROLINE M.WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT THE QUALITY & VALUE OF GASPER PROJECTS
I wasn’t looking for the cheapest, I was looking to build it right. With Gasper I felt comfortable enough not to get any additional quotes.
—JIM K.
The new project enhanced our property and not just in increasing the value of the house, but it makes me feel that it is almost out of a fairy tale … It is just what we envisioned.—SARAH B.
Their workmanship shows, when you know where to look, you can experience the finer details.—DON W.
If you want it done right, and the quality, as with everything, you need to pay a little more. Gasper was not the cheapest, but I never had to worry. I have heard horror stories about working with contractors; working with Gasper was NOT a horror story.

Hiring a company like Gasper was the absolute best decision we could have made for the simple fact that they were there to support us throughout every decision and not to mention, bring their absolutely, skilled and extremely helpful employees to our backyard. I mean, these guys were kind of an extension of our family throughout the time they were here, which was great.
—ADAM M.WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WHY THEY CHOOSE GASPER
When you do something, you want to do it right. So, we ultimately spent the time and found the right partner with Gasper, and it turned out great.
—KEITH G.
It is important to stress the word professional — working with Gasper was a true professional experience.
Gasper is a trusted partner.
It was nice to deal with a company we had confidence in. I didn’t feel stressed at all when construction started. We didn’t even interview any other companies. We wanted to deal with a company with a good reputation, and that was Gasper.

Thanks again to the entire Gasper team for creating an incredible patio that has truly transformed our outdoor living space. We were truly impressed with Gasper’s entire team from beginning to end. Please thank the many others behind the scenes that helped the process go so smoothly including the folks ordering the materials, crew schedulers, and truck loaders. We recognize that it must take a dedicated back-staff to ensure the crews are running efficiently, and the entire process has demonstrated Gasper must have one heck of a team behind the scenes to pull-off so many projects simultaneously. —DON

FURNITURE STUDIO
I had certain ideas of what I wanted, and Eli focused on that and found pieces that fit our concept. He did more with our concept than I would have imagined. Plus, the outdoor furniture rocks — literally. Eli insisted we get the chairs that rock and we love them.
Eli got involved and helped to create and customize the area, finding the perfect furniture. He was unbelievable to work with. He knows his stuff and had a clear picture of what we wanted.
