Backyard Redesign Ideas

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Backyard-Redesign-Ideas3Gazing out onto a vast space behind your house ought to get your mind thinking about backyard redesign ideas. The rear is an extension of your home, and it deserves the same care and consideration as any part of the house. Your design will set the tone for all of your future outdoor spaces, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

Gappsi recently completed an entire backyard renovation in Dix Hills NY. We redesigned and regrated the backyard as well as installing a brand-new swimming pool. The stones used for the patio started from the driveway entrance to the walkway and steps to the backyard area. We installed G045 Limestone throughout the backyard. We also supplied the Excite Passion Spa.

The pool is a 20×40 vinyl pool with concrete walls. It is equipped with an auto cover in charcoal gray color to blend in with the patio stone colors. We installed two-inch thick G045 Limestone coping around the pool. We built an outdoor kitchen with all Delta Appliances and Summit Refrigerator and veneered with Eldorado manufactured concrete wall veneers. The color blend used also matches the G045 Limestone.

LIMESTONE PAVERS – TIMELESS AND CLASSIC

Our gorgeous limestone pavers give your outdoor space a distinctive look in an outdoor redesign. Available in several light neutral hues and in a wide range of sizes, in addition to pattern kits.  They’re the perfect choice for patios, walkways, terraces, and other exterior projects when planning your backyard redesign. Use them alone or pair them with any number of our other hardscape elements for creative, one-of-a-kind designs.

  • What are the benefits of limestone pavers?

Many ask what the best outdoor patio tiles for gardens are – limestone paving offers a practical and beautiful outdoor patio tile. Limestone paving is naturally very dense, hardwearing, and forgiving. It offers an entirely unique
patio floor, and will naturally lighten and season with time for an authentic feel.

  • What are limestone pavers made of?

Limestone paving is a natural material quarried from the earth. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, formed over millions of years. A combination of sediments, broken seashells, coral, and the remains of aquatic animals deposited on the waterbed, slowly compresses over time into a hard rock.

  • Do outdoor limestone paver tiles need sealing?

It is not essential to seal limestone paving when laid outside.  Sealing the pavers will help protect the stone against water and stain contamination.

Gunite Pool Renovations, Refinishing, and Remodeling

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Gunite-Pool-Renovations,-Refinishing,-and-Remodeling2

Gunite pool renovations, refinishing, and remodeling may be just what you need if your swimming pool has begun to start showing signs of age. Is the tile cracked or has the plaster become rough to the touch?  Even if you upkeep your pool every season, it still encounters regular wear and tear from use over the summer months. We’re happy that your house is where everyone gathers for parties and swimming a few laps, and we can help you restore your pool to look just like new.

Gunite pools are by far the most valuable and durable type of pool, making them the best choice for longevity.  Gunite pools are made by spraying a mixture of concrete and sand mixture into a rebar framework.

Durability Of Gunite Pools

Gunite pools offer the most flexibility and creative control, as well as the best durability. Due to the steel framework, gunite pools will retain their shape over a long period of time. A smooth finish is applied at the end of the process to eliminate or reduce the rough feeling one might experience from the gunite. The most common finish is plaster, which is a mixture of cement and marble sand, but other options are available such as a tiled finish, concrete paint, or even pebble surfaces.

Gappsi Pools and Spas can restore the gunite in your inground pool to the same smooth condition it was on the day of installation. Whether there are rough patches or cracks in the walls of your inground pool or the coloring just looks dull, we can fix and restore your existing pool.

Gunite-Pool-Renovations,-Refinishing,-and-Remodeling

Gunite Pool Renovations Consider These Upgrades

Are you looking to have your pool renovated?  There are many options to improve the looks and efficiency of your existing swimming pool. In the last 10 years alone, more than a dozen new developments have made swimming pool ownership more enjoyable, less expensive, as well as easier than ever.

We renovate and retrofit existing pools with the latest features, standing behind our finished work. Here are some ideas to consider when looking at a renovation project.

  • Add an in-ground spa
  • Water features – waterfalls, infinity edge, waterfalls, beach entry, tanning ledge, benches, and steps
  • Energy-efficient equipment
  • Resistance swim jets or a swim lane
  • Children’s play area
  • Custom mosaic tile, new coping and other finishing touches
  • Upgraded Plaster Finish
  • Replace a fiberglass or vinyl pool with a gunite swimming pool
  • New Decking
  • Re-shaping the gunite structure
  • Re-plumbing

Pool renovations can be a simple facelift, or it can be a whole lot more. Just need to replace the plaster? No problem. Ready to add some exciting new features? We can do that too.

Pool Interior Re-Plaster / Refinishing

If the interior finish of the pool is looking worn, it’s probably because you have a plaster or Marcite finish. These finishes were common 15 years ago, but they’ve been completely replaced in the last few years by the new long-lasting and beautifully colored aggregate finishes. These new finishes last 2 to 10 times longer than the old Marcite finishes, and with different colored and sized pebbles or aggregates, we can create any color and texture you want. Some people like the feel of the regular pebble finish. Others like the extra smoothness of polished marble or quartz aggregate finishes. Either way, you’ll get a new pool interior that is prettier and much longer-lasting than ever before.

Tile Repair And Replacement

Tile lifting and cracks in tile or cement are commonly just “patched or replaced” by inexperienced pool contractors. But this is a mistake. A crack is a sign of a construction defect such as faulty material, faulty application, or the absence of proper control joints. No matter the cause it must be diagnosed and corrected at the source. Otherwise, the problems will continue to haunt you for years to come.

Gunite-Pool-Renovations,-Refinishing,-and-Remodeling1

Deck Repair And Replacement

The installation of a paver deck will make a more dramatic impact than any other change or upgrade you can think of, and if cracked cement has been a problem, our natural stone pavers will eliminate that problem.

Gunite pool and backyard remodeling is a great way to transform your outdoor space into a beautiful and functional oasis. Whether you want to update the look of your gunite pool, add new features, or completely redesign your backyard, our team at Gappsi has the expertise and experience to help bring your vision to life.

Paver Basketball Court

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Paver-Basketball-Court

A paver basketball court is perfect when you searching for something unique that will make your property stand out.  Consider a custom-designed basketball court. This brick-paver inlay basketball court is sure to make your home a favorite among the neighborhood kids. If you are in the market for a new concrete driveway consider all of the possibilities before making your final decisions.

Pavers are various sizes of stones that are made of natural stone, clay brick, concrete, or even porcelain. They are utilized to construct an interlocking paving system that is strong and adaptable. The pavers are much stronger than a concrete base and do not easily break or split.

Pavers are more environmentally friendly than concrete slabs because they require less care, are durable, and adapt to seasonal and climate changes.

Can You Play Basketball on Pavers?

Yes, you can use pavers for the floor area of your basketball court.  Paver blocks are in more demand because of their advantages. Pavers effectively reduce runoff from surface water. They also have a minimum 20-year lifespan, making them extremely durable in construction and easy to replace.

An additional benefit of using paver blocks is their ease of installation. A particular block can be changed without damaging the other blocks if any of the blocks are cracked or discolored by corrosive chemicals such as petrol, diesel, etc.  Interlocking the paver blocks is a solution for preserving the environment if you are concerned about the security of your ecosystem or habitats.

Basketball Sports Game Courts Material Options

Brick Paver Basketball Sports Game Courts

This court layout is not new for Gappsi and looks beautiful on a property.  The material complements your property more than any other option. A brick paver basketball court looks nice, especially if you already have a paver patio on your property.

When choosing a brick paver basketball court the lines are cut out and replaced with different colored bricks. The aesthetics of this are beautiful and the athletics are not bad either.  Similar to concrete, there are seams, but if you choose the proper brick it’s not an issue.  The seam between the bricks is small, especially with a straight-edged paver. In addition, many paver companies make slip-resistant pavers that give a player more traction.

Paver Basketball Court2Asphalt Pad With Painted Lines

The most affordable option for a homeowner to have a backyard basketball court is an asphalt pad court with painted lines. The material costs are the least expensive as well as the installation.  This low cost is due to eliminating the expense of painting the entire court and simply only the lines.  Often there is a concern with the durability of unpainted asphalt. In our experience as long as there are no large trees with roots near the court it will be fine.  The roots often cause big cracks as the tree grows causing the asphalt to crack. As for wear and tear, a backyard court will not experience the same traffic as your driveway so the longevity of the sports game court is longer than a standard asphalt driveway.

Asphalt-Painted Courts

In addition, the sports game courts can be painted similarly to what you see on public courts or tennis courts. This often is worth the extra expense. It is absolutely beautiful to look at when painted, especially when custom-colored lines with logos in the key, as well as matching pole pads with lettering, are added.

Concrete Pad Basketball Sports Game Courts

Much like an asphalt pad, a concrete pad with painted lines is more affordable than one that’s painted due to cutting out the painting process. In addition, it tends to look sharper than asphalt with a cleaner look to it.

Expansion joints are added to prevent cracking in the concrete.  It’s a minor detail to consider in the aesthetics of the court. The concrete looks nicer but the asphalt plays nicer.  Also painting a concrete pad looks very sharp similar to the asphalt pad when painted.  It is also worth the extra expense.

Hard-Packed Gravel With Mateflex Sports Game Court Tiles

Many towns have strict zoning laws which regulate the amount of non-permeable coverage a property can have. If your town or village will not allow you to have a non-permeable court based on your property size, then choosing a hard-packed gravel basketball court with Mateflex tiles may be your best and only option.

Paver-Basketball-Court1Gappsi Paver Basketball Court Built in Manhasset NY

Gappsi installed a 22 x 28 basketball sports game court in Manhasset NY, located in Nassau County on Long Island. The court was built with a recycled concrete base and paved with a Nicolock Stone Ridge.  It is a three-piece combination with a smooth texture. We used Granite City for the border and court inlays. Golden Brown for the field and a travertina color for the key in the court. In addition, our team installed regulation adjustable hoops. The patio was cut and the new court was inlaid for a seamless fit and appearance. This is not only a sports game court but can be used as a patio because it is made of pavers. It’s very durable and would never need to be repainted and striped. The homeowners are very happy and this is the latest sports game court by Gappsi in Manhasset NY.

Elevate Your Home With An Outdoor Pavilion And Pool Resurfacing

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Outdoor-Pavilion-And-Pool-ResurfacingElevate Your Home With An Outdoor Pavilion And Pool Resurfacing this season and enjoy more time outdoors in your home!

Every pool needs a resurfacing service eventually. Resurfacing helps enhance your pool’s brightness, fills in any holes or cracks, and helps maintain the structure of your pool.

Outdoor Pavilion And Pool Resurfacing

Resurfacing can repair problems like cracks and wear, while also enhancing and updating your pool’s appearance. While not needed as often as other services, resurfacing should still be on your list of pool maintenance tasks.  Here are four reasons it’s time to resurface your swimming pool:

  1. You notice staining – Pools can start to get discolored after years of wear and tear. These stains can come from the minerals, chemicals, or other materials in the water such as leaves and natural debris.  Check to see if the stains are algae, which will be a shade of green or even red, or another color. If your cleaning efforts are unsuccessful, it may be time to resurface the pool.
  2. Material is coming off – When your pool surface feels like sandpaper and you can see the raw gunite peeking through, it’s time to resurface your pool.  There are a lot of different factors that can cause the pool’s surface materials to break down and come off, such as years of heavy use,  unbalanced pH levels, as well as sudden damage.  Once the surface layer starts to come off, it’s only going to continue and spread. So, it’s important to have it resurfaced as soon as you notice problems.
  3. There Are Leaks – The longer you wait to repair a leak in your pool, the more it will cost. So, be on the lookout for these signs of leaks to see if it’s time to repair and resurface your pool:
    ♦  Wet spots of grass near the pool area
    ♦  Loose or falling tiles
    ♦  Cracks or gaps in the concrete
    ♦  Water loss is greater than the evaporation rate
  4. You’re Ready for an Update – resurfacing is more than just a way to repair and maintain your pool: It also gives you the opportunity to transform and enhance the way your pool looks.

Outdoor-Pavilion-And-Pool-Resurfacing1Elevating Your Backyard With A Custom Built Pavilion

Pavilions can add usability and visual intrigue to a wide variety of outdoor spaces. A great outdoor pavilion design idea can elevate just about any backyard landscape. A pavilion adds both form and function to an outdoor living space.  Quality backyard pavilion ideas can be decorated with outdoor dining, living, or fire pit furnishings to truly feel like an expansion of your home.

In fact, depending on the design and location of your new pavilion, it may just become one of your favorite places to spend time with family and friends!  The sky’s the limit when it comes to architecture and design.

Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion

Outdoor dining. A relaxing afternoon outdoors. A paradise in your backyard. You guessed it. It’s an Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion. If you, like the idea of expanding your living space to the great outdoors, then keep reading!  From the simplest of pavilions with a grill to the expansive luxury outdoor kitchen pavilion, the options are endless.

An outdoor kitchen pavilion provides the opportunity to cook outside, which can be enjoyed during warm weather. Additionally, outdoor cooking can help keep cooking smells and heat outside rather than inside the house.  Plus enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while still having the convenience of a functional kitchen space.

Pavilions can be constructed from a number of different products or materials. Most pavilions are constructed of either vinyl, traditional wood, or an elegant timber frame. The type of material you choose for your outdoor kitchen pavilion will depend on the style you want your backyard space to have.

Outdoor-Pavilion-And-Pool-Resurfacing2Outdoor Kitchen Pavilion Appliances and Amenities

What you add to your pavilion is truly what makes or breaks the design. An outdoor kitchen pavilion is a great place to have your favorite grill, firepit, or pizza oven. The details of what you want in your outdoor kitchen are completely up to you. When designing your outdoor kitchen pavilion, it’s important to consider the appliances and amenities that will make it functional and enjoyable.

  • Grill: A grill is one of the most popular and enjoyable ways of cooking outdoors. With countless options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find the perfect grill for your pavilion.
  • Pizza Oven: A pizza oven is a great addition to your outdoor kitchen. Combine it with a countertop and enjoy an evening of making and eating your favorite pizza.
  • Fireplace or Firepit: A fireplace and chimney in a pavilion create a space for people to gather.
  • Lighting & Electrical: As the sun sets, you’ll want to make sure the party continues. Running electrical to your outdoor kitchen pavilion opens up a whole new world of opportunities. Having power at the pavilion makes it possible to plug in any of your small appliances or fans. In addition, having proper lighting in your pavilion allows you to create the ambiance you want.
  • TV: To take your entertainment to the next level, consider adding a TV to the corner of your pavilion. Entertain in style without missing any of the action.

CALL GAPPSI TODAY FOR A FREE CONSULTATION

  • Seating: Whether you have a bar area with seating, or an outdoor sofa area, having a place for you, your family, and your friends to sit is an important part of any pavilion design.
  • Countertop: For a complete outdoor kitchen pavilion experience, you’ll want to add some counter space. Because it’s outdoors, be sure to use the appropriate material, like granite or other stone.
  • Bar or Island: An island or bar provides some flow to your pavilion kitchen floorplan. It also gives you a workspace or a place to pull up a bar chair.
  • Sink: A sink in your outdoor kitchen will make time in your pavilion all the more enjoyable. Including a sink will also require plumbing to be run to your pavilion.
  • Refrigerator: A refrigerator or minifridge is a great addition to your pavilion kitchen. Keep all your food and drinks nice and cold and ready for you to enjoy.
  • Ice maker: An ice maker in your outdoor kitchen keeps you from needing to run to the house all the time.

Sandblasted  Marble Pavers Pool Patio Dix Hills NY

This backyard in Dix Hills NY started with the renovation of the gunite swimming pool.

Bocce Ball Sports Game Courts Big Impact

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Bocce-Ball-Sports-Game-Courts-Big-Impact1Create a big impact on your property with Bocce Ball Sports Game Courts.

Backyards are a place where families and friends experience life together. They’ve become the go-to area for socializing, games, and activities. With the help of Gappsi Group, you can improve your backyard into a place everyone wants to gather.  Bocce’s rise in popularity over the years is based on its social nature and ease of play.

Do you have some space in your backyard where you want to create some type of entertainment feature? You’re not a golfer, you don’t want to play tennis, you don’t want to play basketball. Sports game courts are fun things to build and have on your property.  Let’s talk about bocce ball sports game courts for a second. Bocce ball has been around for many years and it is a great game especially when you have a party with your family.  The game is fun, interactive, and entertaining.

Bocce Ball Sports Game Courts Big Impact

Bocce courts have already made a big impact on replacing, or have made great additions to, tennis courts, sports game courts, putting greens, shuffleboard courts, and croquet as the choice of the “backyard sport.” It is a sport that all ages can play and enjoy.

Bocce can be played on almost any flat surface, which makes this sport so enjoyable.  The best surface to play on is one that has minimal bounce in addition to no grade so the balls don’t end up assembling in one spot during play. Other important considerations are maintenance and drainage. Bocce Ball Sports Game Courts often constructed using compacted rock, sod, or sand;  when a court constructed like this it often drains poorly and becomes bumpy or uneven. A Gappsi bocce court using synthetic turf is arguably the ideal choice with the look and feel of real grass. Synthetic turf bocce courts are maintenance-free, allow for fast, bounce-free ball handling, and are cooler and cleaner underfoot.

It’s a pretty picture: friends and family gathered around your new rectangular court on a lovely summer’s evening, as warm conversation, clinking glasses, and knocking bocce balls score the scene in early twilight. If you’re beguiled by bocce’s seductive charms and want to bring the game home, here are eight elements of design and construction to know before planning your own backyard bocce court.

CALL GAPPSI TODAY FOR A FREE CONSULTATION

Before you begin building your Bocce Ball Sports Game Court, determine your expectations for your bocce court. Are you looking to simply enjoy a few rolls?  If so, you only need a flat surface, a little space, and good company. But if a regulation sporting experience is what you’re after, there’s a lot more design planning that goes into it.

The space requirement is the first detail to consider in your design.  I’ve seen bocce courts sized modestly, at around 45 feet long by 8 feet wide in some cases, but that’s a cramped court and play can feel restricted. One of the game’s true joys is conceiving plays into lengthy arrangements, then watching rolls progress into their depths.

A regulation bocce court is 91 feet by 13 feet, and the closer to that size you construct yours, the more authentic your experience will be. If possible, I recommend a minimum sizing of 70 feet by 10 feet.

Bocce-Ball-Sports-Game-Courts-Big-ImpactBenefits Of A Turf Bocce Ball Court

Bocce can be played on various court surfaces, such as clay, stone dust, dirt, grass, or artificial surface. However, while these are all good options, we recommend using an artificial turf surface. Below are some benefits:

  • Artificial turf is aesthetically pleasing, similar to grass.
  • A natural surface, such as clay or dirt, requires additional materials and rakes to keep a smooth surface, whereas, artificial turf is very low maintenance with little to no upkeep.
  • The turf is flat which will allow the balls to roll. Overall, enhancing the strategy of the game.

Turf Bocce Ball Sports Game Courts Installation

If the idea of a 90 ft. court in your backyard scares you, don’t worry! Bocce ball is great because the court size can be determined by personal preference! Whatever size you choose, Gappsi will ensure the following:

  • All vegetation and debris are removed and cleared from the desired court area.
  • A base layer of rocks is leveled. It is important to ensure there are no dips or bumps for even court. Alternatively, we can install a base layer of concrete.
  • Install turf on top of the rock layer. Gappsi’s synthetic turf is a great option for your sports game court. if using a concrete base, our turf is an ideal addition because of its draining properties. As a result, water won’t get stagnant and impact gameplay.
  • Add a wood or contrasting turf border to your court to help define the area and stop any rollaway balls.
  • Bocce ball is a great yard game to play with friends and family of all ages. If you’re looking for a low-fuss activity in your backyard, this might be the option for you! If you have any questions about how to install a bocce court, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Bocce Ball Court Built In East Moriches Suffolk County NY

Bocce court built in East Moriches Suffolk County NY. We built the court over a recycled concrete base and bocce grass over blue stone dust. The sides of the court were built with pressure-treated lumber and painted in gray to match the rest of the backyard, the house, and the fence. We installed lighting on the side walls that will light up the court at night. A very beautiful backyard setting. The bocce court is positioned on one side of the backyard. Leaving the rest of the backyard area for the pool, pavilions, and other amenities. That is a bocce court built by Gappsi.
