Italian Porcelain Tiles and Synthetic Turf Patio Combinations Smithtown NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Italian Porcelain Tiles and Synthetic Turf Patio Combinations, Smithtown, N.Y.

The Beauty of Choosing Italian Porcelain Tiles for Outdoor

If you are looking for beautiful outdoor tiles, then it’s a fact that few materials rival porcelain. With so many porcelain tile options available, how do you decide? Why would you choose one tile over another? What are the key things to look out for? And why are Italian outdoor tiles considered the best?

Our blog explores all this and more as we look at tiles that offer superior quality, sophisticated design, and brilliant versatility.  Why choose porcelain, and in particular Italian porcelain outdoor tiles? They are the perfect choice for the discerning homeowner, designer, or architect and are a great way to add value to your property.

Why is Italian Porcelain Better?

Italian factories produce the best porcelain. This means the clay has time to cure and harden slowly, resulting in a more reliable, long-lasting product. Other porcelain worldwide is fired at a lower temperature for a shorter time, making it less structurally sound.

italian-porcelain-tiles-and-synthetic-turf-patio-combination-smithtown-ny3What is unique about Italian tiles?

Italian tiles are highly liquid-resistant, and their durability against permanent stains makes them perfect for residences with pets or children; given proper maintenance and care, they will continue to look fresh for years.

Are Italian Porcelain Tiles Slippery?

Italian Tiles: Italian tiles also prioritize safety standards, often providing excellent slip-resistant options. The emphasis on aesthetics and functionality ensures that Italian tiles are visually appealing and practical for use in areas where slip resistance is crucial.

Italian porcelain tiles are a good choice for outdoor patios because they are durable, low maintenance, and can withstand a variety of weather conditions:

  • Durability: Porcelain tiles resist scratches, chips, and cracks and withstand heavy weights.
  • Weather resistance: Porcelain tiles are frost-proof, fade-resistant, and can withstand rain, snow, and water splashes.
  • Low maintenance: Porcelain tiles are easy to clean and require minimal upkeep.
  • Aesthetic variety: Porcelain tiles come in a wide range of colors and styles and can replicate the look of natural stone.
  • Eco-friendly: Porcelain tiles are made from natural materials and have a long lifespan.
  • State-of-the-art factories: Some say Italian porcelain factories are state-of-the-art and use green processes.

italian-porcelain-tiles-and-synthetic-turf-patio-combination-smithtown-ny2Italian Porcelain Tiles and Synthetic Turf Patio Combination | Smithtown, NY

Our recent project is located in Smithtown, N.Y.  We installed 24 x 24 Italian porcelain tile pavers with synthetic turf strips in between.  Are you thinking of giving your outdoor space a makeover with artificial grass? Well, you’re in luck because it’s become a game-changer for homeowners. Synthetic grass and pavers, when skillfully combined, can elevate your backyard to new heights of elegance and functionality.

One of the main benefits of artificial grass is its versatility. Today’s turf can be used in many more places than past varieties. High-quality turf comes in various colors, pile heights, face weights, and densities for multiple uses, from greens and sports fields to backyard lawns, dog runs, and driveways.

Transform your outdoor space and seamlessly blend the beauty of artificial grass with the versatility of pavers. We used two different types of synthetic turf for this backyard project in Smithtown, N.Y.  View our Synthetic Turf page for more ideas.

  • Shorter turf for the strips between the pavers, sometimes called Turf Ribbons, is very flush with the top of the pavers. Placing synthetic turf between concrete, pavers, travertine, or flagstone can magnify the beauty of the project design. However, placing synthetic turf ribbons in between these types of hardscapes can be challenging if the installation is not planned out before the installation.
  • A taller grass for the perimeter was chosen. Choosing a taller synthetic grass for around pavers can create a softer, more visually appealing “lush” look, providing a comfortable surface to walk on while adding a touch of greenery to a primarily hard surface area. This is especially important when you want a more inviting feel for lounging or relaxing outdoors.

italian-porcelain-tiles-and-synthetic-turf-patio-combination-smithtown-ny1Key reasons to choose a taller synthetic grass around pavers:

  1. Enhanced aesthetics: A taller pile height can more closely mimic natural grass, adding a lush, vibrant appearance to your patio or outdoor space.
  2. Softer feel underfoot: The taller blades provide a more comfortable walking surface than a shorter pile, especially when sitting or lounging on the ground.
  3. Visual contrast: The difference in height between the grass and pavers can create a visually exciting design element.

Considerations for using a taller synthetic grass with pavers:

  1. Maintenance: Taller grass may require frequent brushing to prevent matting and maintain its appearance.
  2. Foot traffic: High-traffic areas might benefit from a shorter pile height to prevent excessive wear and tear.
  3. Leveling: Ensure the grass is installed consistently with the pavers to avoid tripping hazards.

Synthetic Turf Wrapped Raised Patio

Gappsi wrapped the turf around the sides of the raised patio. The dark green synthetic turf between the patios is also used for bocce courts.

The grass used for the trim is the long turf imported from Italy and the Italian porcelain. This is the latest porcelain and synthetic turf project built in Smithtown, NY.

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Gunite Swimming Pool | Dune Road Westhampton N.Y.

A gunite swimming pool is ideal due to its incredible design and versatility. Gunite lasts most of all in-ground pools and usually has the best warranties. It doesn’t require wooden frameworks to hold the shape, so construction is more accessible than standard concrete.

Over the years, gunite swimming pools have increasingly become popular among a majority of homeowners. Gunite pools are popularly known for their maximum longevity and high versatility. Although it is a little more costly, you can build any pool design from Gunite. Therefore, consider installing a gunite pool to transform your outdoor space into a luxurious haven. Before constructing a gunite swimming pool, weigh the pros and cons of this spectacular feature. This way, it will be much easier to determine whether a gunite pool is worth the investment.

gunite-swimming-pool-dune-road-westhampton-ny2A gunite pool can add a new charm to your outdoor space. As a result, gunite pools add value to your home. Pool professionals report that gunite pools can increase your home’s value.

Safety First – Pool Fencing Options

Investing in a beautiful pool for your backyard and surrounding it with a not-so-chic pool fence is one of those design decisions you may regret.  Choosing an attractive and practical pool fence for your lifestyle and the guests visiting your home will save you the worry and stress of wondering if everyone is safe.

Let’s explore pool fence ideas that will transform your backyard into an oasis of safety and style. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of wooden fencing or the modern sophistication of glass railings, this collection showcases a variety of designs that will elevate the aesthetic appeal of your pool area.

  • Steel Cable Fencing—Cable railings around pools open the view beyond your pool. Cables are thin compared to larger wood or metal pickets. The wire cables around your pool will seem to disappear, allowing you to enjoy the view, whether it’s the sunset at your beach house, sweeping mountains, or a backyard oasis.
  • Glass Fence – A glass pool fence offers an unobstructed view of your pool and yard, making it a popular choice for modern homes and homeowners who want to feel like they’re on a permanent staycation. Glass is sleek and sophisticated, providing safety without compromising style.
  • Wooden Fences – Wooden fences bring a natural, warm look to your pool area and can offer a more private space. This can be an advantage for homes surrounded by closely situated neighbors or in public view that need a little outdoor privacy. Wood can be painted or stained to match your home’s exterior, and you can choose from an array of styles, from picket fences to classic or latticed designs.
  • Aluminum Fencing – Aluminum fences are durable, lightweight, and rust-resistant, making them a low-maintenance option. You can choose from different styles and designs to find one that suits your property. Aluminum fencing is considered easy to install and can be used in a variety of ground materials.

Choose Gappsi and Let Us Design and Build Your Backyard Swimming Pool!

  • Wrought iron – can be a stylish design choice for Mediterranean-style homes or traditional homes. It’s strong and protective, but it can rust. With proper maintenance, a wrought iron pool fence can last for years.
  • Steel Fences—Steel is a highly durable fence material that can withstand harsh weather conditions. However, periodic applications of rust-resistant coating may be needed to avoid corrosion, especially in high-humidity areas. Steel cable railing fences are perfect for contemporary homes.
  • Vinyl Fences – You can choose low-maintenance vinyl or PVC fences in various designs and colors. Vinyl fences are cost-effective and weather-resistant.
  • Mesh Fences—Mesh fences are a low-cost option that is ideal if good visibility of the splash zone is a priority. They’re highly durable yet easy to install and remove, making them suitable as a temporary option for those who only need a pool fence during certain times of the year due to seasonal changes.
  • Composite Fences—Composite fences are usually made of vinyl, wood flour, and recycled plastics, making them a green choice that’s good for the planet and minimizes environmental impact. They’re a versatile option that combines the look of wood with the durability of synthetic materials.

gunite-swimming-pool-dune-road-westhampton-ny1Pool Pilings to Support Infrastructure

Will your pool require pilings, and what does this imply? Some swimming pools need a few pilings to support the infrastructure, while others need a great deal. It will all depend on the weight that the concrete structure will withstand, your pool’s size, and the soil.  Pools on piling can include steel, wood, or concrete cast in place or driven into the ground. Some pools will require helical piles created from steel and drilled into the ground with an auger. Concrete piling for pools can often be poured and is usually inexpensive. The kind of pool on pilings needed is the engineers’ soil boring test report. It is frequently based on the pool design and soil composition.

Gunite Swimming Pool Dune Road in Westhampton, NY

Gappsi recently built this gunite swimming pool on pilings on Dune Road in Westhampton, N.Y. Our team built a bench on one side of the pool facing the ocean with corner stairs. The pool coping we installed was shot-blasted black sandstone coping and honed.

The pool finish is black-dyed marble dusting. The surrounding pool deck is Ipe wood in 3-inch strips. Ipe wood decking is the gold standard for all hardwoods. Ipe is so great that it is naturally fire and bug-resistant. The railing is a see-through steel cable used so as not to block the view of the water across. This is the latest project built by Gappsi on Dune Road in Westhampton, NY.

sleek-fence-modern-privacy-aluminum-powder-coated-long-island-nyWhat is a powder-coated finish on an aluminum fence? What are the benefits?

A powder-coated finish on an aluminum fence is a protective and decorative coating applied to the surface of the aluminum material. It involves a process where a dry powder consisting of pigments, resin, and other additives is electrostatically charged and then sprayed onto the aluminum surface. The coated aluminum is then heated, causing the powder to melt and fuse into a smooth and durable finish as it cools.

Color Variety – Powder coating allows various color options and finishes, including matte, satin, gloss, and textured finishes. This versatility enables homeowners and property managers to choose a color that complements their property’s aesthetics and style.

Low Maintenance – Powder-coated aluminum fences require minimal maintenance. Unlike traditional paint, powder coating doesn’t require regular repainting or touch-ups. It retains its color and finish for an extended period without frequent maintenance.

Durability – Powder coating provides a highly durable finish resistant to chipping, peeling, fading, and corrosion. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications like fencing, where exposure to the elements is common. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.

Environmental Friendliness – Powder coating is an environmentally friendly finishing method. It produces little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a safer and more sustainable choice than solvent-based paints.

Gravel Driveway Installation with Gravelfix | Nissequogue, N.Y.

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos on Gravel Driveway Installation with Gravelfix | Nissequogue, N.Y.

Gravel driveway installation with Gravelfix is recommended for stabilizing decorative gravels and pebbles and obtaining the best economical, stable, solid, and long-lasting results. Gravel driveways are a classic alternative to paved driveways and are popular throughout the United States. They’re rustic and rugged for rural settings but can be more neatly defined and designed for urban neighborhoods.

Many materials can be used to create a driveway, including concrete, brick, asphalt, or shells. Still, crushed gravel is the right choice for an affordable material that’s relatively easy to install and available in various colors. This versatility allows crushed gravel to pair well with many different styles of houses, ensuring you get a functional driveway that matches the home aesthetic.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue7What Is Crushed Gravel?

Crushed gravel driveways are composed of coarse sand intermixed with small stones. The bottom layer is typically a mixture of sand, dirt, and stone. The middle layer is primarily simple gray gravel. While the top layer can also be gray gravel, many choose a more decorative option that matches the home’s aesthetic, like marble chips or pea gravel.

Is Crushed Gravel Right For You?

Before installing a crushed gravel driveway leading up to your home, it’s essential to consider whether this material is the right choice.

  • Affordable: Crushed gravel is an inexpensive driveway installation material, so you can save some money by investing in this product instead of paying for asphalt, concrete, or interlocking brick.
  • Easy Installation: While hiring a professional gravel installation company to complete this project is recommended, experienced and knowledgeable home DIYers can install a crushed gravel driveway without professional help if they have the right tools and machinery.
  • Frost-Heave Resistant: Concrete, asphalt, and interlocking brick driveways often crack, shift, and warp in colder regions due to frost-heave, which occurs when the soil freezes and expands. Crushed gravel handles this situation better because it doesn’t hold moisture.
  • Design Variety: Choose crushed gravel as an installation material for a driveway that complements your home. Crushed gravel comes in various colors, shapes, and sizes, so you can find a type that suits your tastes and home aesthetic.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue6Gravel Driveways Maintenance and Repair

Significant maintenance differences exist between a concrete or asphalt driveway and a crushed gravel driveway. To extend the life of your new driveway, it’s essential to learn how to care for this material. Regular maintenance should include raking the driveway to keep the surface level while removing debris like leaves or sticks. You will also need to be careful during snow removal to prevent shoveling away the top layer of gravel. To help avoid this problem, leaving about an inch of snow on the driveway is recommended.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue3Gravel Driveway Installation with Gravelfix

In our recent project in Nissequogue, N.Y., we installed the Gravelfix system and renovated the gravel driveway.  The first step is to adjust the metal edging on the sides and then level the gravel. The gravel has been here for many years and is compacted down.  We will spot-fill the base, then install a bluestone dust layer with the Gravelfix system on top.  In addition, we are adding new gravel that is imported from Italy to fill up the honeycombs.

Once we have completed preparing the base, we will add a top layer of bluestone dust and water and compact it. The Gravelfix system is offered in two colors: white and grey. The customer chose the white Gravelfix system because it blends in with the white stones in the white color family.

The project is extensive. The driveway is about 10,000 sq ft., including a vast parking area by the house. There is also a long entrance, about 200 ft., on a steep slope. The Gravelfix honeycomb system we are installing will prevent water erosion and maintain the gravel in place.  Additionally, the cars will have better traction.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue5Gappsi is an Exclusive Gravelfix System Dealer

Gappsi is an exclusive dealer for the Gravelfix system and Italian gravel used to complete the project. We import all of these products from Italy. The team takes the gravel out as it comes in big bags that are a ton and a half. We will use about 80 tons of the finished gravel to fill the Gravelfix system. We start to fill in the Gravelfix from the beginning of the driveway up to the house. The last addition of the bluestone dust makes it nice and flat for the Gravelfix to sit on.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue4As we filled in the Gravelfix, we drove right over it. The gravel becomes the weight of the grit, which is how it stays in place. It retains the gravel. We have just about completed installing the gravel to fill in the Gravelfix. We have the last quarter of the driveway and are compacting the gravel. This will raise the gravel inside the honey corn system.

gravel-driveway-installation-with-gravelfix-in-nissequogue1The job is completed. We installed all the new gravel. The driveway is very long. You can’t tell by the video, but it has a steep slope. This gravel will stay in place better than the gravel around the stone. This gravel is angled and cubic. It is imported from Italy and installed over the Gravelfix. The house is on the water. An excellent area in Nissequogue, NY.. The color of the gravel blends in with the color of the house. This is the latest Gravelfix installation installed by Gappsi on Long Island, NY.  To learn more about the Gravelfix system that Gappsi offers, visit our driveway page at Gravelfix for Driveways and Walkways.
