The Gappsi team designed installed and landscaped all you see here. First the pool was poured using our aluminum forms and concrete, then a four inch concrete base was used four feet around the pool before the patio was laid. Using our Moca colored travertine with full nosed natural stone coping the team created a soft and classical look to this pool patio. With the addition of arborvitaes, small Japanese maples and plums trees to the landscape we injected color and life to what would have been blank slate. The natural stone travertine patio is a soft cream and chocolate color that is cool to the touch and textured to bring depth when looking at it. The larger French pattern was used with four varying sizes to give a random configuration to the patio.

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.
