View our latest traditional pavilion with Passion Spa, built on the unused sloped backyard of this home in Commack, New York.

Unused sloped backyard areas can be transformed into usable spaces by incorporating terraced gardens, retaining walls, rock gardens, or even dedicated planting zones that utilize the slope for varied plant life. This will manage potential erosion issues and create distinct levels within the yard, turning a challenging slope into a visually appealing and functional outdoor space.

This recent project, designed and built by Gappsi in Commack, N.Y., involved using the unused sloped backyard area and making it very useful.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny4Considerations when designing for a sloped backyard:

  • Slope Severity:  The degree of slope will determine the type of structures needed, with steeper slopes requiring more substantial retaining walls.
  • Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and erosion, especially in areas with heavy rainfall.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Consider how the slope affects sunlight exposure when choosing plants for different areas.

We built a multi-level retaining wall using the Nicolock Granite City Firma wall. The first level creates a flat area for the 18×36 traditional pavilion with the Roman pattern G045 natural blue-gray limestone patio floor from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.

Gappsi built the traditional pavilion with Passion Spa. Adding a conventional pavilion to your backyard provides a dedicated, covered outdoor space that protects you from the elements while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your yard. It allows for comfortable outdoor living, entertaining guests, and potentially increasing your home’s value. It creates a functional and stylish area to relax and enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine.

Key benefits of a backyard traditional pavilion:

  1. Shelter from weather: Protects from sun, rain, and wind, allowing you to use your outdoor space even during inclement weather.
  2. Elevated aesthetic: Adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your backyard design.
  3. Multipurpose space: This can be used for dining, lounging, gathering with guests, or even a casual outdoor living room.
  4. Increased outdoor living: Encourages more time spent outdoors by offering a comfortable, protected area.
  5. Potential home value increase: A well-designed pavilion can add to the perceived value of your property.
  6. Customization options: Can be designed and built to match your style and needs, including size, materials, and features.

Second and Third Level Retaining Walls

A second retaining wall was built to retain the slope and the ground behind it.  Tiered retaining walls comprise two or more walls, each higher wall set back horizontally from the underlying wall. When appropriately designed, they retain soil and support loads, deliver an attractive appearance, and provide room for plantings.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny13 Hole Putting Green

Our team installed and built a three-hole putting green on the patio.  A 3-hole putting green in your backyard offers several benefits, including improved golf skills through dedicated practice space, low maintenance with artificial turf, increased property value, fun for family and friends, mental stimulation through strategic putting, and the ability to customize the difficulty level of each hole; allowing you to focus on specific aspects of your putting game depending on the design of each hole.

With a 3-hole design, you can create diverse putting challenges by varying the length, slope, and green contours on each hole to target specific putting weaknesses.

Important considerations:

  1. Space Requirements: Ensure you have enough yard space to accommodate a 3-hole putting green with appropriate distances and design elements.
  2. Installation Costs: Factor in the cost of materials, installation, and potential landscaping needed for your putting green.
  3. Maintenance Routine: While low maintenance, artificial turf requires occasional brushing and cleaning to maintain optimal putting conditions.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny2Passion Spa – Gappsi is an Authorized Dealer for Passion Spas

Under the traditional Pavillion, we installed a Passion spa.  A Passion Spa in your backyard offers numerous benefits, including stress relief, pain management, improved sleep, enhanced muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, social interaction, boosted mood, potential for light exercise through swim features, and a luxurious outdoor retreat thanks to its designed massage jets and water purification system, all while providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing addition to your outdoor space; essentially creating a personal oasis for relaxation and wellness at home.

Custom Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Designed and Built By Gappsi

The 18 x 36 pavilion was built with a bare wood ceiling stained mahogany.  An audio system and electrical heating system were also installed so that people could enjoy year-round entertainment.  Behind the TV wall, we created an area with a door in the back for additional storage.  The wall was veneered with silver travertine tumbled, and the TV was hung on the wall.

Steps on both sides of the patio access the pavilion area, also used as a ping-pong area. This is the latest masonry-designed sports court and pavilion incorporated into an entire abandoned area. It became the most helpful part of the backyard. It is the newest project built by Gappsi in Commack, NY.

Quality Backyard Batting Cage | Laurel Hollow, N.Y.

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Quality Backyard Batting Cage | Laurel Hollow, N.Y.

When it comes to improving your swing, consistency is key, and a backyard batting cage is your best solution. Having the proper setup at home can make all the difference for baseball and softball players looking to take their skills to the next level. Enter the backyard batting cage—a game-changing addition to your training arsenal—no more trips to the local batting cage or worrying about limited practice time. With your practical batting cage, you can train whenever you want.  Installing a batting cage in your backyard can be a great way to practice your swing and improve your batting skills. However, some additional factors must be considered to ensure the cage is safe, sturdy, and able to withstand the elements.

quality-backyard-batting-cage-installation-in-laurel-hollow-nyWhat to Look for in a Backyard Batting Cage

Selecting the perfect backyard batting cage involves more than just finding a net.

Frame and Material Durability – A sturdy batting cage frame is the backbone of any good cage. Look for frames made of galvanized steel or powder-coated materials to withstand weather conditions and frequent use. Lightweight options like aluminum frames are ideal for portability but may lack the strength required for heavy-duty practice.

Netting and Tensile Strength – The quality of the batting cage net is critical. Polyethylene netting is popular for its durability and resistance to UV rays and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor use. Cage netting with high tensile strength can handle consistent hits without wear and tear.  The type of netting you choose for your batting cage is essential. Make sure you select a netting material that is durable and appropriate for the kind of balls you will be hitting. The age of your players, amount of use, and weather conditions can be determining factors for choosing the right net.

quality-backyard-batting-cage-installation-in-laurel-hollow-ny-1Size and Space – Consider the right size for your space and training needs. Standard backyard cages are 35–70 feet long and 10–14 feet wide. Smaller indoor batting cages are ideal for limited spaces, while larger outdoor batting cages are great for serious players with expansive backyards.

GAPPSI SPORTS GAME COURTS – BACKYARD BATTING CAGES

Type of Cage – Trapezoid Batting Cage: A space-efficient option with slanted sides, making it easier to assemble and maintain.

  • Commercial Batting Cage: Heavy-duty and designed for team practice or extended training.
  • Indoor Batting Cage: Perfect for training in garages or other enclosed spaces, especially during harsh weather, these batting cages are typically smaller.
  • Outdoor Batting Cage: Built for backyard use, with weather-resistant materials to handle the elements.

Weather Conditions and Location – If your area experiences frequent rain, use cages with weather-resistant frames and netting. UV-protected netting will ensure longevity in sunny climates.  When installing a batting cage in your backyard, it’s essential to consider the potential impact of weather conditions such as wind and snow. If you live in an area with high winds, install your batting cage in a location sheltered from the wind. Consider supporting the frame by using guy wires or sandbags at the base. You may also want to choose a heavier netting material to prevent it from tearing in strong winds. In areas with heavy snowfall, make sure the frame is sturdy enough to handle the weight of snow and ice buildup. We recommend you remove the netting during the winter months to prevent damage from wind, snow, and ice.

quality-backyard-batting-cage-installation-in-laurel-hollow-ny-3In our recent project in Laurel Hollow, N.Y., we installed the Premier Douglas Backyard Batting Cage in Laurel Hollow, NY.  The classic, durable Douglas® Batting tunnel frame has withstood the test of time and has been manufactured for over 30 years. With the Douglas® Batting Tunnel frame, your poles can be set at your desired length and adjusted to fit custom net widths.

Synthetic Artificial Baseball Turf

We installed the home plate mat with a surface mount that could be moved around depending on the player. The carpet is red maroon, and the home plate and stripes are inserted with white turf. We used polyethylene to wrap the rest of the batting cage’s field and green synthetic turf around the sides for the rest of the batting. The artificial turf is durable, protecting the flooring or ground in the cage from wear and damage. It requires much less maintenance than actual turf.

No matter how big or small your backyard batting cage or sports facility is, installing artificial turf in your batting cages is an investment that will protect your investments and assets and help keep your cages in great shape for the long run. Artificial turf is flexible, durable, and designed to take on the wear and tear of heavy use. Whether you’re looking for synthetic turf for outdoor batting cages or just batting cage turf for sale, Gappsi has you covered. Plus, that investment doesn’t have to break the bank.

quality-backyard-batting-cage-installation-in-laurel-hollow-ny-4The batting cage has six columns of 4-inch posts installed in 24 x 24 x 36-inch footings. The custom netting is 14 feet wide, 12 feet high, and 55 feet long. In the center of the batting cage, we inserted a custom New York Yankee Baseball logo cut out of the white synthetic turf. We also supplied a pitching machine with protective netting. Three steel cables run the length of the batting cage, and the netting hangs off of them. The batting cage was landscaped all the way around.

This is the latest backyard batting cage built by Gappsi in Laurel Hollow, NY.

At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf Dix Hills NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf in Dix Hills, NY

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-playing, hardest-hitting games around; why not build an at-home lacrosse field with synthetic turf? You can expect ball speeds up to 100 mph flying through the air, hitting the ground at various angles, and lots of running. That means the key to keeping lacrosse players protected and performing their best is a safe, durable playing surface that can stand up to the most challenging and fastest hits game after game.

Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf

In our recent project in Dix Hills, N.Y., our team built a miniature lacrosse field in a private backyard. We installed porcelain tiles diagonally to lead to the driveway’s entrance and added 4-inch strips of synthetic turf between the tiles.

Porcelain paver stepping stones and artificial turf can be a low-maintenance way to create a lush, natural-looking outdoor space.  One of our favorite low-maintenance elements to add to any artificial grass project is paving stones. Whether that comes as spaced-out stepping stones between the turf, a paving stone patio, or a walkway, it gives your yard more functionality and adds another dimension. In recent years, the hardscaping industry has increased in designs, materials, and tools. People used to think of paving stones as a monotonous pattern of bricks, but today, it has become an art form, and we have embraced that here at Gappsi.at-home-lacrosse-field-with-synthetic-turf-dix-hills-ny1

For your next project, consider adding paving stones to your backyard because they are better suited to higher-traffic areas (compared to artificial grass). The only real limitation of synthetic turf is that it tends to develop a “wear pattern,” in which you can see more wear from the high-traffic areas. For example, adding stepping stones or a pathway would make sense if you always walk a particular path to your car or garage.

Strengthen Your Short Game with a Putting Green

Imagine the freedom of your backyard or basement putting green—perhaps a mini hole or short course. Practicing is convenient, and let’s face it now: your house looks extraordinary. We installed a putting green in the corner using Radici synthetic turf. Radici Sport develops and manufactures innovative artificial turf for the professional and amateur sports world and landscape applications, ensuring high reliability and long-term performance. Radici Synthetic grass is 100% made in Italy, and Gappsi imports it directly from the manufacturer.  Gappsi designs and constructs custom residential and commercial golf greens using high-quality, durable, artificial turf. We deliver an unrivaled experience that combines exceptional performance and elevated aesthetics.

Dominator Double Horn Light for Your Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf

We installed the Dominator Double Horn Light. This light setup illuminates the entire field at night, just like daylight. The Dominator square aluminum light pole enhances visibility with quality outdoor court lighting. Illuminate your playing field with Dominator LED lights to experience extended playtime and optimal brightness.

The key features of the Dominator Double Light series include:
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-strength aluminum extrusion housing and impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, these light bars are designed to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Water and Dust Resistance: They are IP67 rated, offering protection against water and dust intrusion, making them suitable for off-road adventures.
  • Beam Options: Available in spot, flood, or combination beam patterns to suit various lighting needs.
  • Mounting Flexibility: Equipped with both side and bottom mounting options and stainless steel hardware for versatile installation.
  • Longevity: Featuring a 50,000-hour life rating, ensuring long-term performance.

Out-of-Bounds Netting (or out-of-play netting)

As part of the installation for the in-home lacrosse field, we installed out-of-bounce netting behind the goal net to prevent the ball from going next door. We also striped the court with permanent white lines.

Out-of-bounds netting (or out-of-play netting) is used in various sports and recreational activities to enhance safety, improve the spectator experience, and protect property. Here’s why it’s commonly used:

1. Safety – Protect Spectators: In sports like baseball, hockey, lacrosse, and golf, balls or pucks can fly at high speeds. Netting acts as a barrier to prevent injuries.  You also protect players.  Netting can prevent stray balls from interfering with play or hitting players in training areas or fields.
2. Improved Gameplay – Maintain Focus by keeping balls or other equipment within the play area; netting reduces interruptions and ensures smoother gameplay.  Defined Boundaries: Netting marks the out-of-bounds area, making it easier for players and referees to judge play.
3. Property Protection – Prevents damage to nearby property, such as cars, windows, or other structures, especially in urban or community settings.
4. Enhanced Spectator Experience – Fans can watch the game without worrying about being struck by stray balls or pucks, making the experience safer and more enjoyable.
5. Compliance with Regulations – Many sports leagues and venues must install netting to comply with safety regulations and reduce liability risks.
6. Cost-Effectiveness – Reducing incidents of damage or injury can save money in the long term by minimizing lawsuits, medical costs, and repairs.

Out-of-bounds netting balances safety and visibility, ensuring players and spectators enjoy the game with minimal risk.

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.

Backyard Basketball Court Renovation Smithtown NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos on Backyard Basketball Court Renovation in Smithtown, Long Island, NY

Does your backyard basketball court need renovation?  We build more than backyard sports game courts. We Build Memories!  If our customers can dream it, we can design and install it. We cater to homeowners, condominiums/HOAS, schools, camps, country clubs, gyms, recreation centers, real estate developers, and area businesses.  We design and build incredibly customized courts such as basketball, tennis, pickleball, and golf for residential and commercial use. Our personalized sports projects range from purchasing and installing basketball hoops and other sports equipment and accessories to full-court sports facilities encompassing single and multi-court offerings. Additionally, we offer our customers personalized court painting and court maintenance services, including patches and repairs.

backyard-basketball-court-renovation-smithtown-nyIn our recent backyard basketball court renovation project in Smithtown, NY, we installed a MateFlex basketball court over an asphalt base. The basketball court was an existing asphalt court that needed many repairs. We re-leveled all the sunk and cracked areas using Patch Bond.  Patch bond for asphalt repair holes, cracks, and ruts in asphalt or concrete surfaces.

The entire basketball sports game court floor was rel-leveled and then Mateflex tiles were installed. Mateflex tiles are famous for sports flooring because they are durable, comfortable, and versatile. They are a superior choice among other sports game court tile options.

Why Choose Mateflex Sports Game Court Tiles

  • Comfort – Mateflex tiles have a leaf spring design that absorbs impact and reduces stress on joints and muscles. This allows players to play longer and harder with less stress on their legs and knees.
  • Durability – Mateflex tiles are made from high-grade, durable materials that are resistant to wear and tear. They can withstand a sustained load of 16,000 pounds per square foot.
  • Drainage – Mateflex tiles have a rib system that allows superior drainage, so courts can be used quickly after rain.
  • Versatility – Mateflex tiles can be used for indoor or outdoor courts and customized to fit any playing space.
  • Easy to install and maintain – Mateflex tiles are easy to install and maintain.

The basketball hoop was already there. As the customer requested, we added the Jordan logo imprinted onto the tiles.  You can add different colors to Mateflex sport court tiles to create custom patterns or boundaries:

  • Standard colors: Mateflex HomeCourt tiles come in 16 standard colors.
  • Custom logos and designs: You can paint custom logos and designs directly onto the tiles.
  • Multiple colors: You can select multiple colors to create custom patterns or boundaries.
  • Game lines: You can mask out game lines with tape, then apply a specialized primer and polyurethane paint.

backyard-basketball-court-renovation-smithtown-ny1Synthetic Turf and Putting Green

Behind the basketball hoop, there was an unused area. It used to be a big mulch bed that the customer had to take care of. We turned it into a small putting green area, and the client loved this idea.  We installed synthetic turf with a putting green, including three American flags and cups.

With a putting green composed of artificial grass, you can enjoy golfing with your family every day of the week.  If you’re an avid golfer or just considering adding a fun outdoor activity to your home, give Gappsi a call today!  With artificial turf instead of natural grass, the putting green is the exact right height and beautifully green every day of the year.

Putting Green Turf Terminology

To know what you are shopping for, spend the time to become acquainted with the specifications and terms used by the artificial turf industry.  Once you understand what each item means, you can hone in on which products would or wouldn’t work for your backyard putting green.  Even though there’s a bit of variety to artificial grass products, there’s not much variety in the base materials they’re made of.  There are three options:

  1. Polyethylene
  2. Polypropylene
  3. Nylon

Polyethylene is mainly used in the turf’s backing, not the yarn fibers. Fake grass for putting greens is usually made from polypropylene or nylon, and each has distinct advantages.  Nylon is the more durable (and more expensive) of the two.  Most of the best-putting green turf products will have nylon fibers.  Polypropylene more closely approximates the look and feel of real grass, though it’s more prone to matting and ruts than nylon is.

The silica sand infill absorbs some of the ball’s bounce, like soil.  Turf infill is those tiny bits of material sprinkling between the artificial grass blades. For example, if the edges are similar to blades of grass, then infill is the dirt for the turf. Adding silica sand infill helps your faux grass blades stand up and keep their real look in high-traffic areas. The silica sand infill also gives you the feel of walking on real grass by emulating the impact absorption qualities of soil. It helps weigh down the imitation turf and helps keep the artificial grass from getting wrinkles or ripples caused by movement. We add Microban, too.  Microban is an antimicrobial product that helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew. It’s non-toxic, so it’s also safe for kids and pets.

Synthetic Turf Grass Fringe

We used synthetic turf to frame the court and putting green area as a fringe. A fringe is a section of the fairway, sometimes called the “apron.” This apron connects the green and the fairway. Based on the design, synthetic turf fringe can be several feet wide and as narrow as six inches. Do you need it? I would say yes unless you want the ball to roll off the green.

We created a little sitting area on the opposite side with synthetic turf and installed out-of-bounce netting to prevent the basketball from entering the woods.

The clients are pleased. They made a lot of use of their minor sports game court. This is the latest sports game court built by Gappsi in Smithtown, NY.
