Gappsi recently installed a marble patio and outdoor kitchen installation in Peconic, NY, elevating the client’s outdoor living experience.  In the charming town of Peconic, NY, nestled within the scenic beauty of Long Island’s North Fork, Gappsi recently completed a stunning outdoor transformation.  It perfectly combines elegance, functionality, and natural aesthetics. This project showcases the best in modern landscape design and outdoor construction.  From the premium marble pool coping and a luxurious patio, to custom-built planter boxes and a fully-equipped gourmet outdoor kitchen. It reflects our commitment to using top-tier materials and craftsmanship.  It enhances how our clients live and relax in their outdoor spaces.

A Harmonious Blend of Form and Function

This property already featured a pool, but the surrounding area needed a refresh to bring out its full potential. The client envisioned an outdoor environment that was both beautiful and purposeful.  It is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and even growing fresh produce. With that vision in mind, the Gappsi team developed a comprehensive design that met and exceeded those expectations.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-nyMarble Patio and Pool Coping: Sophistication in Every Detail

The first primary focus of the renovation was upgrading the poolside experience. We installed G043 marble pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection around the pool.  They provide a cool, elegant surface ideal for bare feet on warm summer days. These premium pavers were finished with a sandblasted gray marble texture.  This offers the perfect combination of slip resistance, durability, and timeless style.

For the pool coping, the edge finish surrounding the pool’s perimeter, we used matching marble to ensure a seamless, cohesive aesthetic. The marble’s refined texture and subtle color variations create a clean, modern look while harmonizing with the natural landscape of the surrounding yard.

Nicolock Firma Wall Planter Boxes: A Garden with Purpose

While aesthetics are important, we also believe that every element of an outdoor space should serve a purpose. In this case, the client requested planter boxes designed explicitly for a vegetable garden, a practical and rewarding addition to any backyard.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-ny2We constructed these raised garden beds using Nicolock Firma wall blocks, known for their strength, contemporary look, and versatile design options. The neutral tones and smooth texture of the Firma wall blocks complement the gray marble patio beautifully while providing an optimal environment for cultivating vegetables and herbs. It’s a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern design that supports sustainable living and farm-to-table eating.

A Culinary Paradise: The Outdoor Kitchen

Arguably, the crown jewel of this project is the massive custom outdoor kitchen, a fully functional culinary space that rivals any indoor setup. Designed for cooking enthusiasts and entertainers alike, the kitchen was constructed with practicality and luxury in mind.

The structure itself was veneered with quartz stone, chosen for its durability and upscale appearance. Quartz’s natural veining and consistent color patterns provide a polished finish that contrasts beautifully against the soft tones of the marble patio and garden walls.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-ny1Inside, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. The appliances are all Fire Magic, a top-tier brand synonymous with premium outdoor grilling and kitchen equipment. The kitchen includes:

  • A large Fire Magic grill, ideal for high-capacity grilling and searing
  • A Fire Magic sink for convenient prep and cleanup
  • A trash drawer integrated into the cabinetry for easy waste disposal
  • A Primo smoker for low-and-slow barbecue perfection
  • A spacious refrigerator to keep beverages and ingredients cold
  • A bar sink for washing up or cocktail prep
  • Ample storage cabinets to house cooking tools, utensils, and outdoor essentials
  • A gas oven for baking and roasting outdoors, year-round

Together, these components create a versatile and luxurious kitchen space that enables the homeowner to host everything from casual cookouts to gourmet outdoor dinners without ever needing to go inside.

Bringing It All Together: A Seamless Experience

The final result of this project is more than just a collection of features.  It is a unified outdoor living space that enhances the homeowner’s lifestyle. Whether harvesting fresh vegetables from their garden, lounging by the pool, or preparing a feast in their new kitchen, every part of the environment is designed to flow effortlessly into the next.

Consistent use of premium materials such as marble, quartz, and Nicolock Firma wall blocks ensures that each element works aesthetically and functionally harmoniously. The thoughtful layout maximizes space without feeling crowded, and the blend of natural and modern materials reflects Peconic’s tranquil yet refined character.

Gappsi’s Commitment to Quality Craftsmanship

At Gappsi, we take pride in offering more than just beautiful landscaping—we create outdoor experiences. A deep respect for craftsmanship, material integrity, and client vision guides every project we undertake. From the initial design concept through to final installation, our team works closely with each homeowner to bring their ideas to life in stunning and sustainable ways.

Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of the Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack, NY

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.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny

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.

Porcelain Pavers Installation on Driveway in Smithtown NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Porcelain Pavers Installation on a Driveway in Smithtown NY

Porcelain paver installation on the driveway in Smithtown, NY, is Gappsi’s latest project.  Porcelain pavers dominate the paver market with their unmatched resistance and easy maintenance.

Why are Porcelain Pavers so Good for Driveways?

Outdoor porcelain pavers are similar to indoor porcelain tiles, only thicker and more durable. They are frost-resistant, skid-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.  Porcelain pavers are highly resistant and virtually maintenance-free. This is due to their manufacturing process. They are made using a unique combination of materials: feldspar, kaolin, high-quality clay, quartzitic sand, and water.  These materials are mixed and heated to become indistinguishable. The material is left to dry.  Then, after adding pigments and patterns, it is cooked under extreme pressure and high temperatures of up to 1,200 degrees Celsius.  Here is where the magic happens. The high temperatures cause the kaolin to undergo a process called vitrification. This process turns the kaolin into a fine glass surrounding the final porcelain material. This gives it incredible smoothness and resistance.  It makes porcelain a non-porous material that does not need to be sealed.  Aside from not requiring sealing, being a non-porous material makes porcelain pavers incredibly easy to maintain. That, combined with its high resistance, makes porcelain pavers a top choice.

Porcelain Paver Driveway Applications

Porcelain paver driveways are among the most efficient options available. Their resistance can easily withstand the heavy weight required for vehicular applications and can always be cleaned to look pristine. Porcelain pavers are incredibly durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and fading, making them ideal for outdoor use in high-traffic areas. They are also non-porous, which means they resist mold, mildew, and bacteria growth, making them easy to clean and maintain.

porcelain-pavers-installation-on-driveway-smithtown-1In addition to their durability, porcelain pavers are versatile in design and can mimic the look of natural stone, wood, or concrete. This means you can achieve the desired aesthetic without the high maintenance and cost of natural materials.

Whether you want to create a stunning outdoor patio, walkway, or pool deck, Gappsi has the perfect porcelain paver for your project. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and helping you find the ideal paver to bring your vision to life.

The design options for porcelain pavers are also vast. They come in various colors, patterns, and textures, offering the flexibility to complement different landscaping styles. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look, a rustic aesthetic, or something in between, a porcelain paver design will match your vision.

Porcelain Pavers Installation on Driveways is Cost-Effective

While porcelain pavers may have a higher initial cost than some alternatives, their long-term cost-effectiveness is notable. Their durability, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to wear and tear make them a cost-effective solution over their lifetime.

They last longer and lose less value over time. The higher initial investment quickly pays for itself over a year or so. APorcelain is also more affordable than other options because it avoids the need for sealing and expensive cleaning products.

Concrete is the most popular paver material. Like porcelain, concrete can last for years with proper care and maintenance. However, unlike porcelain, concrete requires sealing and will fade and lose its aesthetic appeal.

porcelain-pavers-installation-on-driveway-smithtown-2By choosing a porcelain paver driveway, you’re paying upfront for not having to worry about maintenance, with the certainty that the investment will add lasting value.

Porcelain Pavers in Outdoor Landscapes

Porcelain pavers dispel the myths surrounding their use in outdoor landscaping. Understanding their realities allows you to confidently explore their possibilities for enhancing outdoor living spaces.

Porcelain Pavers Installation on Driveway | Smithtown, NY

This is Gappsi’s latest driveway installation for this residence in Smithtown, NY. We used Belgium pavers, which are 4×8 in size and made of split-faced and tumbled limestone. Our design used various colors, including black, gray, and silver. Our team also used the stone for the apron and the borders of the driveway.

The center-filled driveway utilized 6×12, 3-cm-thick porcelain pavers. These resemble the color of porphyry stones, our hard granite, but they are manufactured porcelain 3 cm thick. They are suitable for vehicle areas. The material is very durable and strong. They are one and a quarter inches thick, so you can drive over them with a car.

Porcelain Paver Installation Process

Proper installation is crucial to ensure their longevity and performance.

  1. Preparation: The first step is to prepare where the pavers will be installed. This involves excavating the existing surface and ensuring that it is appropriately leveled.
  2. Base: A stable base is critical for installing porcelain pavers. A layer of crushed stone or sand is a base material to provide stability, support, and proper drainage.
  3. Leveling: After laying the base material, it’s time to level it accurately using a compactor or hand tamper.
  4. Edging: Edging is necessary to prevent the pavers’ lateral movement over time. Depending on preference, plastic or metal edging can be used.
  5. Laying Porcelain Pavers: The last step involves laying porcelain pavers on top of the prepared surface and intermittently checking for leveling accuracy.

porcelain-pavers-installation-on-driveway-smithtown-3At the base of the driveway, we used 10 inches of oversized gravel topped with final gravel. Then, we installed the porcelain over 2 inches of a dry pack mix, a combination of sand and cement leveled in a dry form. The pavers were installed over this layer, filling the joints with polymeric sand.

Porcelain driveway pavers are an excellent choice for homeowners who want a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance option. By using porcelain pavers, you can create a driveway that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. This is the latest Gappsi porcelain pavers installation for a driveway.

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.

gappsi-showroom-and-productsArtificial Living Walls & Vertical Gardens for Indoor or Outdoor Environments

On the entrance side of the showroom, we installed green synthetic living walls and displayed our synthetic turf options. Artificial plant walls are the perfect addition to any design, regardless of project size or location.  Artificial plant walls transcend the need for light and water and are the ideal solution for greening spaces where plants cannot grow.

Gappsi encourages your imagination to create remarkable living and working spaces with our vibrant faux plant walls.

Synthetic Turf and Artificial Greens

Our synthetic turf is perfect for sports game courts, including pickleball, soccer fields, tennis courts, putting greens, and pet grass.  Our pet grass selection is specifically designed for animals.  Your pets are part of the family but they’re also animals with destructive instincts. When you let your dogs play and go to the bathroom on real, carefully manicured grass, it doesn’t take long for them to fill your yard with holes, odors, clumps of grass, piles of dirt, and other telltale signs that animals own the place. Artificial pet turf is a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. You and your pets will love it because it’s pet-friendly fake turf that your pets won’t be able to distinguish from real grass. The best part? It’s easy to clean.

gappsi-showroom-and-products3Sports Game Courts with Synthetic Turf

A turf court in your backyard or your school campus provides an enjoyable and safe surface for a wide range of sports.  From tennis to bocce ball, turf courts are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance and high performance. When compared to natural grass surfaces, artificial turf is considerably safer and more reliable.

If you operate a sports complex or if you have kids who constantly want to practice sports at home, you know the challenges with maintenance for natural grass. Wearing out grass through frequent athletic practice can ruin your yard at home. For sports facilities that rely on full fields for weekend tournaments, having worn spots from weekday practices can disappoint the players and parents on the weekend.

That’s where artificial sports turf from Gappsi enters the picture. Our fields are durable, great value, and perfectly designed.  The artificial turf comes in various colors to offer the look and feel you want to achieve.  Never worry about overuse leading to bare spots and dead grass. Never cancel tournaments because of heavy overnight rains again. Whether you need an indoor or outdoor athletic field or turf, the quality of our synthetic turf options can make each team feel like it is playing professional sports. Let the constant practices and games commence!

Sports Game Courts

In front of the showroom, we displayed a miniature bocce ballcourt. Our bocce sports game courts are built with synthetic wood that will not warp.  Using synthetic wood sides, there are no exposed nails and no maintenance. In addition, the synthetic turf used is made specifically for bocce ball courts.

Come down to view our Dominator basketball sports game court with a double horn lights setup.  On display are the Metaflex tiles used for outdoor or indoor sports game court flooring.  Mateflex is a modular sports game court flooring company that makes tiles designed for durability and performance. Mateflex tiles are intended to combine the comfort of a soft court with the durability of a hard court.  Gappsi is an authorized dealer of Mateflex Sports Tiles.  They are the premier manufacturer of basketball court flooring, volleyball court surfaces, tennis court resurfacing options, and other courts for sports.

On one side we displayed adjustable netting used for multiple sports. The netting can be adjusted for pickleball, badminton, tennis, or volleyball.  We even have batting cages!  Check out our cages that use specific netting and fake grass.
