Let us help you modify your in ground pool and backyard with the right kind of lighting to fit your needs. Gappsi installed the lighting features surrounding all-natural stone patio and walls in this photo. The pool has Led Lights which are energy efficient giving off a nice clear yet soft glow and is available in an alternating multicolor effect or a single color (which you see in the photo). Wall washer lights reflect off the textured stone giving the illusion of running water down the Travertine veneer walls. Spot lights are installed under the trees behind the sheer descending water feature beside the pool. These spot lights are installed in the ground directed up at the trees bringing out their defined shape illuminating them at night. Floodlighting features are installed on the outside walls of the house to enhance the main sitting area where the tables and food islands are set up. The barbeque pavilion is also lit up by installing high hats in the ceiling and soffits. The high hats are a recessed lighting feature giving the chef and your guest the perfect ambiance for entertaining. Outdoor lighting is used for multiple reasons both decorative and functional. Different types of outdoor lighting and fixtures are used for specific uses for example brightening a pathway with lights gleaming down, illuminating a tree with light fixtures cascading upward, and accenting column pillars or water features. Outdoor lighting truly adds to the landscaping and event atmosphere at night. In this specific picture you’ll see by installing some unique customized outdoor lighting will get an elegant transformation after sunset.

Gunite Shooting for Swimming Pool after Rebars Installation Roslyn, Nassau County, Long Island NY
Excavation of this Gunite swimming pool in Roslyn, NY is started by marking up and laying out the pool according to town setbacks. We proceed with framing and establishing the pool shell’s rough height. Then the excavator will dig and shape the hole, preparing it for rebar installation. After the # 4 rebar is installed, creating a cage that outlines what will be the final shape of the Gunite swimming pool. The Gunite cement shell is installed by applying a mix of sand and Portland cement through a pump system which is pushed through a nozzle with the force of compressed air. As the cement comes out from the nozzle, water is sprayed simultaneously to create a bond between the sand and cement, forming the Gunite pool shell. In this particular pool, we also molded an autocover box on the deep end of the pool, and swim out bench with the same Gunite cement process. On the shallow end of the pool steps were also shaped in Gunite expanding across the width of the pool. At this stage the Gunite pool shell will be left to cure for 28 days, and water will be sprayed on the concrete shell daily to help the shell petrify. Stub plumbing is installed through the Gunite walls for future connection of plumbing pipes. The skimmers are also placed in the pool before Gunite is sprayed, which encases them in concrete. Plumbing for the bottom drains, and pressure relief valve are placed in the floor, in case in the future the pool needs to be emptied and ground hydraulic pressure is under the pool due to high water tables. On top of the pool shell, along the length of the pool a groove is left in the shell for future installation of the Auto Cover track. The pool shell was constructed 10″ wide for the wall and 8″ wide for the deep end bowl and shallow area floor.

Swimming Pool Moss Rocks waterfall Built By Gappsi Landscaping on Long Island NY
Here we see a free formed pool and patio with a cascading waterfall feature that has been designed and installed by the professionals of The Gappsi Group. From start to finish Gappsi design team along with the homeowner came up with a simple, balanced, and beautiful to meet their needs for their backyard oasis. Located in Cold Spring Harbor 11724 Long Island, a town bordering Nassau and Suffolk counties and home to picturesque parklands this property was a designer’s dream, flat open space to create and carve out a natural looking pool and patio separate from the house. Starting with the pool our team created a custom free form 18’x 40’ concrete wall hard bottom pool with the steps incorporated into the walls. The homeowner chose a tan pebble bottom liner to emulate the light blue waters of the Caribbean With a need for the sound of rushing water from the customer Gappsi incorporated a two tier waterfall that spills into the pool. The tranquil ambient noise can make any stressful day disappear within a five minute lounging next to it. Bring a book and grab some sun and get lost for hours on the patio. Using Nicolock Toscana paver in oyster blend brings an old world feel to this yard. The random sizes with their tumbled edges adds texture that makes a brand new patio look like it’s been there for years.
When it is time to close the pool our custom fit Loop-Loc cover fits over the pool like a glove as well as gets anchored to along the waterfall for a tight fit. Gappsi recommended a storage shed for all the patio furniture equipment and diving board, and had our Craftsmen build a shed to match the home. To bring balance to the entire project our skilled team of landscapers brought in beautiful shrubs and plants to brighten and liven up the yard with color and lush grasses that makes the waterfall look even grander. Add some small annuals in the small planting bed near the pool for seasonal flowers that the homeowner can plant themselves gives a personal touch to their yard. After all the hardscape and planting was done our team than seeded the surrounding area with Kentucky blue for a lush grass to grow.
