Sammarco Stone and Supply, Inc. was
established in 1929 by Peter Sammarco as a garden and landscape center.
Sammarco serviced all of the needs of lower Westchester County's
immigrant landscapers by providing advice and extending credit
to those
who needed it. Peter was instrumental in giving them the
opportunity to get their businesses started. In 1985, after 56
years in the business, Peter decided to transfer ownership to his
grandson, Frank Miceli.Frank soon improved the already
successful business by further building on its basic premise of
servicing the small to medium sized landscape and masonry contractors.
Using his acquired knowledge of masonry and landscape construction,
Frank added a new dimension to the stone industry in lower Westchester.
Through hard work and a determination to succeed, the business began to
prosper, amid much larger and more resourceful competition.
Today, Sammarco has grown to become the
largest supplier of bluestone in lower Westchester County, encompassing
4 properties, all built around Peter's original location at 173 Oak
Street in New Rochelle, New York. Sammarco's customer base has
also grown, extending its reach to not only lower Westchester County,
but to the lower Hudson Valley and into Connecticut. In addition
to the many parks, municipalities, and private homes within these areas,
listed below are some of the more recognizable establishments for which
Sammarco has supplied material:

In the late 1980's, Frank established
the Peter Sammarco Memorial Scholarship through the Calabria Mutual
Society (New Rochelle) in memory of his grandfather. The
scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving young man or woman
presently enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at any college
or university to help with their college tuition.
Customer Appreciation Day and Sammarco's
75th Anniversary was a huge success.
