Rocco Engongoro was the son of Italian immigrants that settled in what was then, the mostly Italian American community of Port Chester, New York. Like so many men of the day, Rocco enlisted in the armed forces at the on set of World War Two. After honorably serving his country Rocco had a desire to work with his hands and, with a love of Mother Earth, he decided on a career in the out door related landscape type services. In 1950 he started to work for a local landscape and gardening company based in Darien Connecticut. It was in this employ Rocco honed his skills and learned the outdoor trades of landscape, property maintenance, masonry, tree work, and gardening. In 1956 Rocco decided to make his own way in life believing this was the best way to provide for his growing family. As it continues to be today, the property maintenance landscaper is the jack of many trades and the “go to” guy for many property improvement needs, and it wasn’t long before a client asked if Rocco could pave a driveway. In the late 1950’s, with a mortgage to pay and mouths to feed, the answer was always yes. This was the start of the companies venture into asphalt paving. Over the years a division of the company was developed to focus specifically on asphalt paving and related products. Rocco (or Roccie as his friends knew him) enjoyed a lengthy retirement spending time with his many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and friends. During his retirement Rocco developed passions for cooking fabulous meals, wood working and gardening. Rocco was an avid ball room dancer attending many social events in the area. He was also a long-standing member of the Darien Piedmont Club and the Old Timers Athletic Association of Darien. While Rocco is no longer with us his work ethic, commitment to the industry, and attention to detail continue to live on in a second generation business.
