Timeless Beauty: A Look Back at the Nissequogue Pool and Travertine Patio by Gappsi

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of A Look Back at the Nissequogue Pool and Travertine Patio

A travertine pool is a timeless beauty.  When you can look back at a project like this, Nissequogue Pool and Travertine Patio, and not see it age, you know it can stand the test of time. There’s something incredibly satisfying about revisiting a project many years after its completion and finding that it still stands strong in structure and style. That’s precisely the case with this stunning backyard in Nissequogue, a project Gappsi designed and built 15 years ago. Time has passed, seasons have come and gone. This backyard oasis remains as beautiful and functional as the day it was completed.

a-look-back-at-the-nissequogue-pool-and-travertine-patio-by-gappsiThis comprehensive backyard project combined all the essential elements of luxury outdoor living. Every detail was thoughtfully designed and expertly built to provide years of enjoyment, from the pool, patio, water features, and outdoor kitchen. And it has done just that—fifteen years later, the homeowners are still enjoying every inch of their backyard paradise.

The Heart of the Backyard: A 25×50 Vinyl Travertine Pool

At the center of this serene retreat is a sizeable 25×50-foot vinyl swimming pool. The pool was constructed with sturdy concrete walls, providing durability and longevity. An automatic pool cover was installed to enhance safety and convenience, offering protection from debris and an added layer of security and energy efficiency.

One of the standout features of this pool is its classic and elegant look, achieved through the use of 2-inch thick travertine pool coping. This detail gives the pool a timeless, high-end aesthetic that perfectly complements the natural surroundings. Travertine is beautiful and practical—it’s cool underfoot even on hot days, making it ideal for poolside use.

A Travertine Patio in a French Pattern

Surrounding the pool is an expansive patio paved with golden travertine and a French-patterned layout. This design choice adds visual interest and a touch of Old World charm to the space. The warm tones of the travertine blend beautifully with the natural environment, while its textured surface provides a slip-resistant surface perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view.

Using a consistent material throughout the coping and the patio creates a seamless flow that elegantly ties the space together. This kind of design unity is one of the reasons this backyard has aged so gracefully.

a-look-back-at-the-nissequogue-pool-and-travertine-patio-by-gappsi1Retaining Walls, Columns, and Custom Stonework

We constructed retaining walls and columns throughout the landscape to manage the backyard’s natural grade and add architectural interest. These structures were veneered with split-face travertine, a finish that adds depth, character, and rustic elegance to the space. Using natural stone brings a grounded, earthy element to the design that enhances the outdoor living experience.

One of the visual highlights is the intricate column work, which serves a structural purpose and adds a classical design element that elevates the entire yard’s aesthetic.

A Natural Stone Water Feature

No backyard retreat is complete without the soothing sounds of flowing water. For this project, we built a custom natural stone and rock water feature that appears to flow straight out of the hillside. This cascading water feature adds a dynamic, tranquil focal point to the backyard, further blurring the lines between the built environment and natural beauty.

What’s more impressive? After 15 years, the water feature is still fully operational and just as captivating as the day it was installed. That kind of long-term performance speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and quality of the build.

a-look-back-at-the-nissequogue-pool-and-travertine-patio-by-gappsi2Outdoor Living at Its Finest: Fireplace, Kitchen, and Raised Patio

Beyond the travertine pool and patio, the outdoor space was designed for year-round enjoyment. A wood-burning fireplace was constructed as a cozy gathering spot for cooler evenings, perfect for family nights or entertaining guests. There’s nothing quite like the ambiance of a real fire under the stars.

Next to the fireplace is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a dedicated sitting area. This makes it the ideal space for summer barbecues, weekend brunches, or casual weeknight dinners. The functional cooking space and comfortable seating transform the backyard into a valid home extension.

We also built a raised patio adjacent to the house, creating a transitional space that ties the home and the backyard together. It’s the perfect place to relax with a coffee or enjoy the sunset over the pool.

The Spa Experience: Catalina Spa

No luxury backyard is complete without a spa, and we installed a Catalina Spa for this project. Known for their performance and durability, Catalina Spas are built to last—and this one certainly has. Even after 15 years of use, it’s still in excellent condition, delivering the same relaxing hydrotherapy experience it did on day one.

A Backyard That Stands the Test of Time

Perhaps the most rewarding part of revisiting this Nissequogue backyard is seeing how well it has held up over the years. The structures are solid, the materials have aged beautifully, and every feature works exactly as intended. It’s a testament to quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the use of premium materials.

At Gappsi, we believe that a well-designed outdoor space should look amazing when it’s first completed and continue to serve and delight its owners for years—if not decades—to come. This project is a perfect example of that philosophy in action.

a-look-back-at-the-nissequogue-pool-and-travertine-patio-by-gappsi3This Nissequogue backyard is more than just a space—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where memories are made, holidays are celebrated, and quiet moments are cherished. Fifteen years later, the pool still sparkles, the patio still shines, and the water feature still flows. That’s the kind of lasting quality that Gappsi is proud to deliver.

If you’re dreaming of your backyard transformation, let us help you design a space that will bring joy not just today, but for years into the future. Whether it’s a pool, patio, outdoor kitchen, or full landscape design, we’re here to build something timeless—just like we did in Nissequogue.

Stunning Custom Bocce Ball Court in Mt. Sinai, NY

Gappsi Builds a Stunning Custom Bocce Ball Court in Mt. Sinai, NY for Plymouth Estates

Nestled in the heart of Mt. Sinai, New York, the gated community of Plymouth Estates has just taken its love for bocce ball to the next level. Gappsi is proud to unveil our latest sports game court project—a beautifully crafted, custom-built bocce ball court blends top-tier functionality with a visually striking design.

The residents of Plymouth Estates are passionate about their bocce games. When they decided to upgrade their court, they knew they needed more than an average installation. They wanted a professional-grade playing surface with thoughtful details, premium materials, and a look reflecting the care and enthusiasm they bring to every match. That’s where Gappsi came in—and we delivered.

stunning-custom-bocce-ball-court-in-mt.-sinai-ny1A Court Designed for Community and Competition

From the outset, it was clear that this project wasn’t just about building a place to play—it was about creating a space where community members could gather, relax, compete, and enjoy the game they love. The design process focused on blending durability, safety, aesthetics, and comfort into every square foot of the court.

Our team began by constructing the court walls using our premium synthetic wood. This material offers the timeless look of natural timber with longevity and low maintenance benefits. These walls define the court’s space and ensure structural integrity, even with frequent use.

VIEW OUR CUSTOM BOCCE SPORTS GAME COURTS GALLERY

We chose a blue synthetic turf laid over a foundation of oversized drainage gravel for the court’s playing surface. This design ensures the court remains dry and playable even after heavy rains, while the turf provides a smooth, consistent roll for the bocce balls. Blue turf adds a bold, modern twist to the traditional bocce court, making it eye-catching and unique within the community. To ensure game accuracy and fair play, we installed four clean, white striping lines that guide the game and give the court a polished, professional look.

stunning-custom-bocce-ball-court-in-mt.-sinai-nyPrioritizing Accessibility and Comfort

One of the standout features of this custom bocce ball court is the attention paid to accessibility. Knowing that many Plymouth Estates residents are older adults, we took extra care to include design elements that support safety and ease of use. At the entrance to the court, we installed hold-on bars that give players a stable handhold as they step onto the playing surface. These bars add a small but crucial safety element, showing that the court was designed with every resident in mind.

On both sides of the court, we installed custom-built benches, offering a comfortable spot for players to rest or spectate while waiting for their turn. These sitting areas encourage social interaction and make the space welcoming for serious games, casual matches, and community gatherings.

A Perfect Fit for Plymouth Estates

Plymouth Estates is known for its beautifully maintained grounds and strong sense of community. This new bocce sports game ball court fits seamlessly into that environment. It’s not just a place to play—it’s a space to connect. Residents can now enjoy friendly competition, host tournaments, and spend sunny afternoons engaging in a sport they’re passionate about.  All on a court that’s built to last and designed to impress.

stunning-custom-bocce-ball-court-in-mt.-sinai-ny2At Gappsi, we understand that a great sports game court is more than just turf and borders. It’s about creating a space that feels good to play on, looks great in its surroundings, and brings people together. That philosophy is at the heart of every project we do, and it’s what made this Mt. Sinai bocce ball court such a rewarding build for our team.

The Gappsi Group Standard

Every Gappsi project is custom-designed to meet our clients’ unique needs and visions. From backyard retreats to community installations, we pride ourselves on using only the highest-quality materials and proven construction techniques.

For the Plymouth Estates bocce court, that meant:

  • Durable synthetic wood for long-lasting court walls that resist weather and wear.
  • Premium synthetic turf for a low-maintenance, all-weather playing surface.
  • Oversized drainage gravel as the base layer to ensure proper water runoff and consistent playing conditions.
  • Accessibility features like handrails at the entrance make the court user-friendly for all ages.
  • Thoughtfully placed to enhance player comfort and encourage social interaction.

Each element was carefully selected based on our experience building high-performance courts and our commitment to craftsmanship.

Why Build a Custom Bocce Ball Court?

Bocce ball may be one of the oldest known sports in the world. Still, it continues gaining popularity across all age groups, especially among active adult communities like Plymouth Estates. It’s easy to learn, inclusive, and allows for both casual fun and serious competition. A well-built bocce court becomes a natural gathering place, fostering friendships and keeping residents engaged and active.

Whether playing doubles in a tournament or just tossing a few balls with friends on a sunny afternoon, having a professional-quality court makes all the difference.

Another Beautiful Sports Game Court by Gappsi

This Mt. Sinai installation is the latest example of Gappsi’s work in custom sports game courts. We’ve built everything from backyard basketball setups to professional-grade tennis and pickleball courts, and each project reflects our passion for quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

We’re proud to add this blue-turf bocce court to our portfolio and even prouder to know that the residents of Plymouth Estates are already enjoying it.

If you’re considering a sports game court for your home or community—whether for bocce, tennis, shuffleboard, or other sports—reach out to Gappsi. We bring the same level of care, creativity, and construction excellence to every project, big or small.

Let us help you create a space that will be enjoyed for years.

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Luxury Backyard Transformation in Belle Terre, NY | Custom Pools, Fire Pits, and Outdoor Living by Gappsi

Ideally, every element must come together when creating the ultimate luxury backyard transformation oasis. It must offer functionality and aesthetic beauty. Gappsi, a leader in luxury outdoor installations, recently completed an extraordinary project in Belle Terre, NY, showcasing the best design, craftsmanship, and quality materials. From stunning stonework to custom-built features, this backyard installation is a testament to the company’s expertise in turning outdoor spaces into extraordinary retreats.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi5The Vision and Inspiration Behind this Luxury Backyard Transformation

The property sits perched above the serene Port Jefferson Harbor, offering breathtaking views that serve as the perfect backdrop for any outdoor living space. This backyard installation aimed to complement the landscape’s natural beauty while introducing high-end elements that elevate the space’s functionality and aesthetics. The homeowners were looking for luxurious, practical features to entertain guests, create peaceful relaxation zones, and have a space for their favorite hobbies while maintaining a strong connection with the surrounding natural beauty.

The design used natural stone, custom pool features, and modern outdoor living elements that blend seamlessly with the property’s expansive views. The finished result is nothing short of spectacular.

The Patios and Hardscaping

One key feature of this luxury backyard transformation is the extensive use of G041 pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. These pavers were carefully selected to cover the backyard patios, creating a sophisticated, durable surface that perfectly balances beauty and functionality. Natural stone has a timeless quality that brings texture, warmth, and an organic feel to the space. It blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape and provides a firm, durable surface that can withstand the elements while remaining visually striking.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi3The patios were strategically designed to provide ample seating and lounging areas, making them ideal for social gatherings and family relaxation. Whether enjoying a sunny afternoon or hosting an evening gathering, the pavers create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to stay and unwind.

Veneers that add Elegance and Depth

Gappsi incorporated blue marble tumbled veneers for the bottom portion of the house, the fire pit, and the chimney to elevate the design further. The choice of blue marble adds a unique touch of sophistication, offering rich tones that contrast beautifully with the surrounding natural stone elements. The smooth, tumbled finish of the marble provides a relaxed, yet refined look that enhances the structure’s visual appeal.

Additionally, all retaining walls on the property were veneered with the same luxurious blue marble, maintaining consistency throughout the design and creating a cohesive aesthetic. The marble walls add elegance and serve as structural elements that keep the landscape intact, preventing erosion and providing necessary support.

The column piers that form the pavilion’s structure were also veneered with blue marble, further enhancing the design’s sophistication. These column piers create a sense of depth and architectural interest, while their polished surfaces reflect light, creating beautiful visual effects during the day and evening.

Water Features: A Soothing Addition

One of the most impressive features of this Belle Terre luxury backyard transformation is the custom-designed water feature behind the spa. The back wall behind the spa is crafted to incorporate a beautiful water feature veneered with elegant glass tiles. The shimmering glass tiles catch the light and create a peaceful, relaxing ambiance as water cascades down the wall, providing both visual and auditory serenity.

Water features are an excellent addition to any backyard design, and this one offers a calming atmosphere, whether enjoyed from the spa or one of the nearby seating areas. It adds a luxurious touch and is a stunning focal point in the backyard, drawing attention without overwhelming the space’s other features.

The Custom Pool: A Showstopper

No luxury backyard transformation is complete without a pool, and this installation features a custom-designed pool that perfectly complements the overall design. The pool is custom-shaped to fit the unique contours of the space, offering a one-of-a-kind look that is both functional and stunning.

A standout feature of the pool is the negative edge design, which creates the illusion of the water disappearing into the horizon. This design draws the eye toward the stunning views of the Port Jefferson Harbor and provides a dramatic, luxurious focal point for the backyard.

In addition to the negative edge, the pool also features a sunken bar area with stools inside the pool, offering a fun and interactive element perfect for entertaining. The sunken bar area is ideal for lounging and enjoying cocktails while staying cool in the pool’s refreshing waters. Furthermore, the pool design includes a spacious sundeck where individuals can comfortably relax and soak up the sun. These thoughtful features create a perfect balance of leisure and entertainment, ensuring that this pool will be enjoyed by family and friends alike for years to come.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi2Outdoor Cooking Area

The installation includes a state-of-the-art outdoor cooking area just outside the covered patio for those who love to cook and entertain outdoors. The cooking area is designed to be both functional and stylish, featuring high-end appliances, ample counter space, and a built-in grill perfect for preparing meals while enjoying the fresh air.

This outdoor kitchen is ideal for hosting barbecues, preparing gourmet meals, or cooking while spending time with loved ones. It adds a sense of luxury and convenience to the backyard, allowing the homeowners to host gatherings easily.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi1The Gas Fire Pit Area

One of the standout elements of the luxury backyard transformation design is the gas fire pit at the edge of the property. This fire pit offers warmth and ambiance, making it a perfect spot to gather during chilly evenings. The fire pit is surrounded by a low wall that serves as a sitting wall and a protective barrier, offering comfort and safety.

The fire pit’s placement at the edge of the property allows for spectacular views of the harbor while creating a cozy, intimate space for conversation and relaxation. The warm glow of the fire provides a soothing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the evening air and stargazing.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi6The Putting Green

This Belle Terre backyard installation for golf enthusiasts includes a beautifully designed putting green with synthetic turf. The high-quality synthetic turf mimics the feel of a real putting green, allowing the homeowners to practice their short game in the comfort of their backyard.

Transforming Backyards with a Custom Putting Green Sports Game Court in Dix Hills, NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Transforming Backyards with a Custom Putting Green Sports Game Court in Dix Hills, NY

There’s nothing like having a personalized Putting Green Sports Game Court in your backyard for outdoor recreation. Whether you’re an avid golfer, someone who loves to entertain, or just looking to create a unique and functional outdoor space.  Installing a putting green sports game court can completely transform your property. Recently, Gappsi, a leading provider of luxury outdoor design and construction services.  We completed a stunning installation of a custom putting green at a private residence in Dix Hills, NY.  The results are nothing short of spectacular.

A Vision Brought to Life – Putting Green Sports Game Court

At Gappsi, we pride ourselves on bringing our client’s visions to life. The putting green installations in Dix Hills are a perfect example of this commitment. The homeowners are passionate about golf and outdoor activities. They envisioned a beautiful, high-quality putting green where they could practice their short game in the comfort of their backyard. With the help of Gappsi’s expert design and installation team, that vision became a reality.

transforming-backyards-with-a-custom-putting-green-sports-game-court-in-dix-hills-nyThe project began with a thorough consultation with the clients to understand their preferences and requirements. We worked closely with them to ensure the design was seamlessly integrated into their landscape while providing a top-notch, functional space for practice and recreation.

The Perfect Materials for the Job

One key element that makes this putting green stand out is the high-quality synthetic turf chosen for the project. To ensure the best possible playing experience, we selected two different types of turf for various areas of the putting green.

For the fringe of the putting green, we opted for a 1-inch pile height synthetic turf. This turf is specifically designed to replicate the look and feel of real grass.  It also provides durability and performance in various weather conditions. The 1-inch pile height gives the fringe an authentic, natural appearance.  It provides a realistic transition from the edge of the green to the surrounding landscape.transforming-backyards-with-a-custom-putting-green-sports-game-court-in-dix-hills-ny1We selected premium putting green turf for the interior inlay of the putting green itself. This turf is designed for putting greens and offers a smooth, true roll for golf balls. It replicates the type of turf found on professional putting greens, ensuring that every putt behaves the way it would on an actual golf course. This high-performance turf ensures that the homeowners get the best possible practice experience when using their putting green.

Designing the Ultimate Putting Green

A great-putting green isn’t just about the turf.  It’s about creating a challenging and enjoyable layout that appeals to golfers of all skill levels. For this installation, we went above and beyond to ensure that the design had both aesthetic appeal and functional elements that would keep the homeowners entertained for years.

One of the key features of this project was the installation of four flags and cups. These are essential for any putting green, as they allow players to practice their aim, distance control, and short-game accuracy. The flags are strategically placed at different distances and angles to provide variety and challenge during practice sessions. Whether the homeowners are working on their short putts or testing their ability to sink long, tricky shots, the array of flag placements ensures that every practice round differs.

Additionally, we incorporated a sand bunker along one side of the putting green. Sand bunkers are essential in golf course design, adding visual and strategic aspects to the putting green. Including a sand bunker allows golfers to practice shots from the sand, honing their skills for a complete short game experience. This added feature also gives the putting green a more authentic, professional appearance, making it feel like a miniature version of a world-class golf course.

transforming-backyards-with-a-custom-putting-green-sports-game-court-in-dix-hills-ny2

Attention to Detail: Creating a Seamless Integration with the Landscape

Designing an outdoor sports game court or putting green is not just about functionality.  It’s about seamlessly integrating the existing landscape. For this Dix Hills project, we took great care to ensure that the putting green blended naturally with the surrounding environment. The synthetic turf was chosen for its durability, performance, and ability to complement existing outdoor features, such as trees, shrubs, and hardscaping.

To further enhance the overall aesthetic, we paid close attention to the contouring of the land around the putting green. The area was carefully graded to ensure proper drainage and to create a natural-looking slope that enhances the playing experience. The result is a putting green that performs excellently and looks stunning, perfectly complementing the property’s landscape and adding a touch of luxury to the outdoor space.

Client Satisfaction: Enjoying the Putting Green at Home

One of the most rewarding aspects of completing a project like this is seeing the satisfaction on the client’s face when they experience their new backyard amenity for the first time. After the installation was completed, the homeowners were thrilled with the results. They have since shared with us how much they enjoy spending time on their custom putting green.  Practicing their golf game, and hosting friends and family for fun, competitive rounds of golf.

This combines a high-quality design, top-tier materials, and expert installation.  This putting green is a beloved feature of the homeowners’ outdoor living space.

Backyard and Swimming Pool Design in Holbrook, NY: A Transformative Outdoor Experience by Gappsi

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Backyard and Swimming Pool Design in Holbrook, NY: A Transformative Outdoor Experience by Gappsi

When creating the perfect backyard and swimming pool design oasis, Gappsi is a leading name in pool design and installation.  We know exactly how to turn a dream into a reality. This latest project in Holbrook, NY, showcases how thoughtful planning, exceptional craftsmanship, and high-quality materials can combine to create an exquisite outdoor living space. The backyard was reimagined to fit a beautiful 16×32 vinyl pool with concrete walls, marble paver patios, and lush landscaping. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space or completely transform it, this project offers a great example of the endless possibilities in backyard design.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsiTransforming the Backyard: A Complete Makeover

The design process began with a complete transformation of the backyard. The entire area was lowered to make space for the pool, providing a fresh and inviting landscape. By adjusting the terrain and giving it a more open and spacious feel, the space was redefined to accommodate the new pool better and complement the rest of the features. Considering the available space, sun exposure, and overall aesthetic, a detailed design plan allowed for a smooth and effective installation process.

Installing the Perfect Pool: A 16×32 Vinyl Pool with Concrete Walls

A key highlight of this backyard and swimming pool design is the 16×32 vinyl pool.  It was carefully chosen for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. The pool features sturdy concrete walls with enhanced structural integrity, making it ideal for long-lasting enjoyment. With a depth ranging from 43 inches to 66 inches, the pool is perfect for various swimming activities, from casual lounging to more serious exercise and fun. The versatile design allows for shallow and deep areas, accommodating swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

A key feature that makes this pool truly special is the built-in autocover. The autocover helps maintain the pool’s cleanliness by keeping debris out and helps regulate the water temperature. While the autocover has been an excellent asset for the pool, it also led to interesting feedback from the homeowners. The clients mentioned that the pool was getting too hot, and this is because the auto cover retains heat.  Creating a warm and inviting water temperature for those warm summer days. It’s a perfect solution for those who love to enjoy the pool on a whim without waiting for the water to warm up.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsi1Stylish Patio and Pool Coping: Marble Pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection

The elegance of this backyard design extends beyond the pool itself. The patio surrounding the pool was crafted using exquisite marble pavers handpicked from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. These high-quality pavers add a sophisticated touch to the outdoor space, offering a sleek and timeless look. Marble is known for its durability and beauty, and it was the perfect choice to complement the pool and the overall aesthetic of the backyard. Not only do the marble pavers add luxury, but they also provide a non-slip surface, ensuring safety around the pool area.

The pool coping, which frames the edge, was made with marble pavers. This choice of material ties the entire pool area together, giving it a cohesive and polished look. Whether you’re walking around the pool or sitting by the edge, the marble coping provides both function and style, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the space.

Landscaping and Planting: A Lush and Inviting Atmosphere

The landscaping around the pool and patio was revamped to provide a vibrant, welcoming environment. New flowers and plants were carefully selected to add color and texture to the space. Incorporating various plant types makes the landscape feel dynamic and alive, offering an ever-changing display of nature throughout the seasons. The choice of plants was made with the local climate in mind, ensuring they would thrive and require minimal maintenance.

In addition to adding beauty, the plants were strategically placed to offer privacy and seclusion from neighboring properties. This is especially important for clients who want to enjoy their backyard retreat without feeling exposed. The lush landscaping makes the backyard feel like a private paradise, ideal for relaxing with family and friends.

Stadium Stairs for Easy Access

Another notable feature of this pool installation is the stadium stairs installed in the pool’s shallow end. The stairs provide an easy and elegant entry into the water, especially for those who prefer a gradual descent. The stadium design allows for multiple levels of seating, making it perfect for lounging in the pool or enjoying a social gathering. These stairs also offer extra functionality, making it easier for children and elderly family members to safely enter and exit the pool.

Client Satisfaction: A Pool They Love

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project is the client’s satisfaction. They love their new pool and backyard space, and it’s clear that this design has exceeded their expectations. From the aesthetic appeal to the functionality, every aspect of the project was tailored to their needs and preferences.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsi2The client feedback regarding the autocover’s impact on the pool temperature is a testament to the effectiveness of the design. The autocover helps retain heat, making the pool water warm and comfortable. While this feature may have made the water warmer than expected, it has undoubtedly made swimming more enjoyable for homeowners. It’s always great to receive client feedback, as it helps refine future designs and installations.
