gunite-pool-renovation-dune-road-west-hampton-nyUpgrade Your Pool and Add a Spa

To upgrade your pool and add a spa, you can consider options such as integrating a spa area directly into the existing pool design, creating a spillover feature from the spa to the pool, adding custom tile accents, installing water features like fountains or waterfalls, upgrading the pool lighting, and incorporating advanced filtration systems for optimal water quality. All while ensuring proper plumbing connects the spa and pool water flow seamlessly.

Key points to consider when adding a spa to your pool:

Placement: Decide whether you want the spa wholly integrated into the pool structure (like a raised seating area), attached to one side of the pool, or built as a separate unit nearby but connected to plumbing.

Design aesthetics: Choose a spa design that complements the style of your existing pool. Consider tile patterns, coping options, and overall visual flow.

Features: Based on your desired relaxation experience, choose spa features such as jets, blowers, spillways, and seating configurations.

Water circulation: Ensure proper plumbing is installed for independent water heating in the spa while maintaining a consistent flow between the pool and spa.

Automatic Pool Covers for Your Gunite Inground Pool

An automatic pool cover is a retractable vinyl cover that does not shrink and is most often fade-resistant. It has a track mounted on or under the pool decking, and an electric motor opens and closes it.

The automatic pool cover can also mean significant energy savings! It will help keep your pool warmer and allow you to keep it open longer. By keeping the cover closed when it is not being used, you save money by not having to run the pool heater as much.

Another great thing about an automatic pool cover is the safety aspect. These covers are the ultimate safety measure if appropriately used. There is a switch that operates the cover, which can be locked with a key, which adds another safety measure. This will eliminate just anyone from being able to open it. Lots of insurance companies consider an automatic pool cover safer than a fence.

Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting System | Queens, N.Y

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting Systems | Queens, N.Y

When building a pickleball sports game court with out of bounce netting system, selecting the right surface material is essential for playing at the highest level. The surface affects the court’s playability, safety, and maintenance.

Surface Material and Construction

The choice of surface material greatly affects the court’s playability and maintenance. Asphalt and concrete are the most common materials used for pickleball courts, each with advantages and disadvantages. Asphalt is more affordable and offers a softer surface, while concrete provides a more durable and low-maintenance option. Regardless of the material chosen, it’s essential to ensure a smooth finish to prevent injuries and enhance the playing experience.

Asphalt is a popular choice for pickleball courts due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. It provides a hard, smooth surface that is ideal for fast-paced games.

Asphalt courts can withstand heavy use and weather conditions, making them a long-lasting option.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.yAsphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Durability: Asphalt is highly durable and can last many years with proper maintenance.
  • Cost-effective: Compared to other surface materials, asphalt is relatively inexpensive.
  • Low Maintenance: Asphalt courts require minimal maintenance, usually limited to occasional cleaning and resurfacing.

Asphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Hard Surface: The hardness of asphalt can be tough on players’ joints, especially during extended play.
  • Heat Absorption: Asphalt absorbs heat, making the surface hot and potentially uncomfortable during sunny days.

Concrete is another durable and long-lasting surface material for pickleball courts. It provides a hard, smooth playing surface similar to asphalt but with a few distinct differences.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Longevity: Concrete courts can last for decades if properly maintained.
  • Smooth Surface: Concrete provides an even and consistent playing surface.
  • Stability: Concrete is less likely to develop cracks or deformities than asphalt.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Cost: Concrete is more expensive to install than asphalt.
  • Hard-on Joints: Like asphalt, the hard surface of concrete can be tough on players’ joints.
  • Maintenance: While concrete is durable, any cracks that do develop can be more challenging to repair.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.y-1Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting System Queens, N.Y.

In our recent project in Queens, N.Y., we installed two pickable courts over the existing asphalt tennis court area with two other tennis courts left existing.

We used part of the existing tennis courts and installed Mateflex tiles over the asphalt to build two pickleball sports game courts. The Mateflex tile features a narrow gauge rib system for quick drainage, high traction, and good ball bite (less skid), which is ideal for tennis court resurfacing. This is comparable to using a narrow gauge racquet string. Even after many years of wear and tear, these ribs will maintain the same width and, therefore, the same playing speed.

Each Mateflex tile has 32 individual interlocks and surrounding modules for superior court integrity. The interlocking tile is firm for a stable playing platform and reinforced for exceptional strength and longevity, which is necessary for any tennis or pickleball court design.

Why Choose Mateflex Sport Game Court Tiles

  • Experience – Matéflex has provided high-quality solutions since 1974 as the oldest American modular tile manufacturer.
  • Quality – We won’t settle for anything less than the highest standards for materials and manufacturing. We supervise our molding process, so we always control quality.
  • Performance – Our products are engineered to enhance comfort and performance and will show in your players’ games.
  • Safety – Matéflex products were developed with injury prevention in mind.
  • Durability – Protect your investment by choosing long-lasting flooring products.
  • Ease – Every Matéflex product was designed to be portable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective.
  • Service – We provide outstanding support from design to installation and throughout the life of your court.
  • Comfort – We provide outstanding support from design to installation and throughout the life of your court.

Pickleball Court Lines and Marking

The client chose maroon red for the outer court perimeter and royal blue for the pickleball insert.  In addition, we installed out-of-bounce netting with aluminum poles to separate the two courts to help contain the balls within each court.  

Sports netting, also known as ball stop netting, keeps balls in play and out of spectator areas to protect players, spectators, and property. Netting provides players an extra layer of safety, allowing them to play confidently. It also keeps balls from flying into areas where spectators could be injured. Netting prevents balls from traveling into areas that could cause damage and aids in maintaining consistent play.  Sports game court netting also keeps the balls within the boundaries, ensuring fair competition.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.y-2Out-of-bounds netting can be custom-built to fit any size space and is made from durable materials that can withstand heavy impacts and harsh weather conditions.

Pickleball sports game court netting by Dominator was installed, which can also be extended higher for playing a volleyball game.  

Synthetic Turf for Sports Game Court Fringe

Our team installed synthetic turf fringe all around the court. It is also a visual border as a transition from the Mateflex polypropylene tile to the lower asphalt base.

The second tennis court will eventually be remodeled into a new tennis court, or we might put pickable courts sideways. The clients will use this for now and decide whether to keep the old tennis court or add more pickable courts and possibly a putting green. This is the latest sports game court installation done by Gappsi in Queens, NY.

Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, NY

Green grass can be seen from the highest building with our rooftop putting green installation! Gappsi Turf Solutions offers an innovative design that enables rooftop gardens where grass is challenging to grow. With a year-round, well-cared-for look, Gappsi Synthetic Turf Solutions for rooftops resembles natural grass in its best condition.

Turn your unused rooftop into a beautiful space where residents, employees, or students can relax or practice their golf game. Perfect for urban rooftops where outdoor space is an issue, Gappsi Synthetic Turf Solutions will beautify any rooftop to turn it into valuable, usable space.

View Our Synthetic Turf & Sports Game Court Gallery For More Ideas

Gappsi’s artificial grass for rooftops has been installed in playgrounds, urban residential building rooftops, recreational areas, and more. The lightweight synthetic grass is the perfect maintenance-free solution for rooftop areas.

Are you craving a unique outdoor sanctuary, perhaps a place to relax and practice golf while enjoying a fantastic view away from the hustle and bustle? Converting your rooftop to a putting green with artificial turf could be your perfect solution.

It can be a serene retreat and a visually stunning addition to your complex if done right!

1. Plan For Safety – First and foremost, ensure your rooftop can bear the additional weight of your golf haven. Seek professional help to assess the structural integrity. Once confirmed, design the putting green cautiously to ensure proper safety measures. This could include installing barriers or railings for accident prevention.

2. Utilize Space Wisely—Rooftop spaces can vary significantly in size. Strategic use of available space is crucial regardless of your rooftop’s dimensions. If space is tight, try a minimalist approach, focusing on one or two golf holes and a small seating area. If the location allows, consider a larger green or incorporate a few obstacles for added challenge.

3. Consider Drainage—Good drainage is essential to keeping your rooftop green in top shape. Ensure the base below the artificial turf is designed for efficient drainage. Using turf that allows rapid permeability will prevent waterlogging and increase the lifespan of your green.

4. Choose High-Quality Artificial Turf – Quality matters, especially regarding the artificial turf you install. Opt for top-quality artificial greens replicating the feel of real grass golf greens. They’ll provide the ball roll accuracy and durability that a golf enthusiast appreciates.  The quality of the artificial turf you choose heavily influences the green’s playability and durability. Opt for top-quality, low-maintenance artificial grass. It might cost more initially, but it will save time, effort, and long-term satisfaction.

Lightweight, Maintenance Free Synthetic Turf for Rooftops

More and more commercial and residential organizations are installing rooftop greens to add an aesthetically pleasing and recreational element to their properties. Additional rooftop areas may include plain synthetic turf to cover weathered or visibly undesirable surfaces, improving views that overlook the rooftop area.

The benefits of having a rooftop putting green installed by Gappsi, Inc.
  • Natural appearance & feel
  • All weather use
  • Custom-fit to any size or shape rooftop
  • Cleaner, more professional-looking appearance
  • Adds value to the building/property.
  • Adds recreational attraction to building/property
  • Turns unused square footage into a functional attraction
  • Extremely low maintenance

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny3Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, N.Y.

Gappsi recently designed and installed a rooftop putting green in Long Beach, Long Island. The first step is spreading the bluestone gravel, which is applied on top of the Merafi paper. Next, we will install the synthetic turf fringe. Synthetic turf fringe is a section of artificial grass that connects a putting green to the fairway and is also known as the “apron” or “collar.”

Why Do You Need Synthetic Turf Fringe

  • Purpose: It connects the green to the fairway, prevents the ball from rolling off, and provides stability and protection to the putting green.
  • Height – Usually 1–2 inches tall, but is customizable.
  • Width—This can vary depending on the space, but it can be as narrow as 6 inches or several feet wide.
  • Installation – It should be cut perfectly to blend seamlessly with the putting green.
  • Benefits – Durable, weather-resistant, and can create a realistic play experience.

The rooftop putting green installation in Long Beach, N.Y., was completed on the second floor over a parking garage. We added flower beds to accent the putting green curves.  Creating an impressive landscape around your synthetic putting green is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor space’s aesthetic appeal. Surrounding your putting green with various plantings is a classic landscaping idea.  Choose low-growing perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, or ground covers to create a beautiful and natural-looking boundary that visually separates your green from the rest of your space.

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny2The putting green has a very beautiful undulation. Although it is difficult to see from the images posted, bumps and gullies have been added to create a golf course feel.

We installed the putting green grass and the Gappsi Dreamy 35 (1.5 Pile Height) for the fringe. This project was done for Engel Burman, an apartment complex on Long Beach’s water. We installed five cups and flags and outlined the flower beds with aluminum metal edging. This is the latest sports game court installation completed in Long Beach, NY.

Italian Porcelain Tiles and Synthetic Turf Patio Combinations Smithtown NY

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.
