Posted by Gappsi Group on

luxury-backyard-redesign-and-pool-renovation-dix-hills-ny1Investing in a luxury backyard redesign and pool renovation can be a great way to increase the value of your home.  It can make your property more attractive to potential buyers and enhance your overall enjoyment of your outdoor space.  Gappsi recently completed a total backyard renovation in Dix Hills NY.

We remodeled the original vinyl pool that was built with steel walls.  A steel-walled pool is simply not a permanent structure while a concrete-walled pool is.  A steel wall pool boasts many advantages over other structures, especially in a freeze/thaw climate such as ours.  It is typically the least expensive option when compared to other pool structures. However, just because the pool itself is less expensive doesn’t mean you sacrifice the quality, aesthetics, and functionality of the pool.  A vinyl liner pool can be customized like a gunite or concrete pool and offers homeowners versatility in design options.

Why Upgrade Pool Plumbing System?

We installed new plumbing, new skimmers, new jets, and a new liner. In addition, the equipment was installed on the side, away from the living space.

There are many reasons to upgrade your pool plumbing system, including:

  • Water quality – Modern filters and pumps can improve water clarity and make it safer and healthier for swimming. They can also reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat the water. For example, an ozone water purification system can neutralize bacteria and algae using natural minerals and low levels of chlorine.
  • Efficiency – Variable-speed pumps can be more efficient than single-speed pumps, using up to 90% less energy. They can also improve circulation, which helps the pool filter water more effectively.
  • Noise – Variable-speed pumps are quieter than single-speed pumps, which can make for a more peaceful pool experience.
  • Plumbing issues – Pool plumbing systems can deteriorate over time due to age and climate, and may develop issues like leaks or cracked pipes. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a recommended plumbing material for in-ground pools because it’s durable and resistant to corrosion. If your plumbing is made of PVC, you should replace it if it becomes brittle or warped, or if you notice pinhole leaks.

luxury-backyard-redesign-and-pool-renovation-dix-hills-ny5 We installed synthetic turf in all the remaining areas on both sides of the house.  Artificial turf is a great alternative to natural grass for busy homeowners who don’t have the time to maintain a traditional lawn. It’s also much more forgiving than real grass, so you won’t have to worry about brown patches or bald spots. Plus, it’s low-maintenance and looks great all year long!

♦ GAPPSI’S SYNTHETIC TURF OPTIONS ♦

Artificial turf has all the great features of traditional grass but without all the hassle! Busy homeowners no longer have to worry about mowing, weeding, or fertilizing their lawn, because all that is required for artificial turf is the occasional hosing down. Keeping turf clean is a common concern for pet owners, so we designed our turf to be the best for your furry friends!

luxury-backyard-redesign-and-pool-renovation-dix-hills-ny3Gappsi Natural Stone Collection – Fiorito Travertine G035

On the patio and pool coping we used G035 Fiorito Travertine selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.  The natural beauty of travertine makes it a popular choice for pool deck coping or as a decking material for the entire pool area. A travertine pool deck and travertine pool coping are great options for the following reasons:

  • It offers natural beauty with its earthy colors and interesting textures
  • It creates a non-slip surface
  • It isn’t hot to the touch, making it comfortable for bare feet
  • It’s durable enough to handle typical poolside activities
  • Luxury Backyard Redesign with Travertine

The same quality that makes travertine non-slip and comfortable to walk its porosity is the quality that makes it susceptible to staining. Because travertine is porous, it tends to soak up whatever spills on its surface, which can result in staining. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent stains from occurring:

  • Seal the surface.
  • Wash off spills as soon as they occur.
  • Choose a travertine that has less of a sponge-like texture, as it’s the holes and crevices that provide spots for things to seep into its pores.
  • If you have loose soil nearby that often gets onto the surface, make it a habit to spray dirt off the surface before it begins to stain.

Retaining Walls with Fiorito Travertine G035 – Luxury Backyard Redesign

We built a new retaining wall using cinder blocks, then veneered it with 2 inches of random-length Fiorito Travertine and coping to match the pool.  When it comes to retaining walls, also sometimes referred to as site walls, natural stone embodies the timeless look that most people associate with this type of application. Natural Stone Veneer offers a diverse range of colors, sizes, shapes, and textures to customize a stone veneer retaining wall to the exact aesthetic of the landscape.

luxury-backyard-redesign-and-pool-renovation-dix-hills-ny2Raised Excite Passion Spa

The Excite Passion Spa is a spacious spa that provides room for up to seven people. This top-of-the-line hot tub has a variety of massage experiences that will melt your stress away. The foot dome and volcano jet provide excellent therapy for your tired aching feet.

Gappsi is a dealer for Passion Spas. Passion Spas are sold through select dealers whose experience and commitment to quality and service match their own. 

We raised the spa and built a platform to the second-level patio connected by the stairs.  The top patio was also paved with Fiorito Travertine in a French pattern and the walls were also finished with 2-inch veneers and coping was used to match all other wall caps in the backyard.

Cleaning and Sealing Concrete Pavers Process

Posted by Gappsi Group on

cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-process-before--afterThis blog will discuss cleaning and sealing concrete pavers process and why it is important.  Whether you have a charming hardscape, a beautiful driveway, or an intricate walkway, your hardscape’s longevity and visual appeal depend on proper maintenance. In this blog, we’ll explore the significance of regular cleaning and sealing pavers in your hardscapes, helping you understand when, how, and why to embark on these crucial steps for preserving the beauty of your outdoor spaces.

  1.  Do stone patios, driveways, and other hardscapes need to be pressure washed?

This is everyone’s first question, and the answer is NO.  The most popular interlocking concrete pavers manufacturers used in Long Island NY are Nicolock, Cambridge, Techo Bloc, Unilock, and Belgard to name a few. These pavers have been installed on patios and driveways for the past 30 years.  When you see a 10-year-old concrete paving stone floor you can notice with the naked eye that the surface is faded and lost its finer texture on the surface layer.

Patio and driveway pavers get dirty over time and grow black mold, moss, and weeds. Most paver owners think of hiring a pressure washing company to clean them or run out to the local hardware store rent a pressure washer and try to pressure wash the pavers themselves. Pressure washing concrete pavers, especially newer ones, can easily damage the surface finish and we strongly suggest not pressure washing unless you are highly experienced and have the right equipment to pressure wash pavers.

step-1-cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-processPressure-washing concrete pavers will appear to clean them at the time.  The process weathers the surface of the pavers therefore aging and expediting the aging process. As you pressure wash the concrete surface of the pavers, it becomes rougher, and in a short time dust and dirt will start to accumulate in the microscopic pores resulting in the surface being dirty again.  Often people get caught up in the cycle of pressure washing their pavers every springtime.   They do not realize every time it is done they worsen the problem instead of resolving it. 

  2.  Do concrete pavers need to be sealed? 

This is everyone’s next question, and the answer is YES.  Paver sealant is an important maintenance tool to keep paver patios, walkways, driveways, and pool decks looking as beautiful as the day they were installed.   To maintain the look for years to come a layer of protective sealer must be applied to the surface of the finished outdoor paver.

Concrete surfaces are corrosive to the elements and will weather over time, losing their shine and fine new texture. Just like many products need protection such as metal needs paint or a car needs wax to revive and restore its luster.  Any surface exposed to the elements after many years will lose its vibrancy and fine finished texture.

step-2-cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-processWe recommend sealing your pavers to ensure their longevity and the manufacturer’s finish to last.  Gappsi uses a synthetic finish product to preserve the paving stones.  Sealers will make the pavers surface water repellent thus making them weatherproof.  When you seal your pavers you accomplish many things besides weathering protection.  You bring out the colors that fade over time even though the color is through and through or even a layer of half an inch thick.  The eye sees the very top of the pavement.  In only a few short years they could become faded due to the weathering from the rain or sun rays.

In addition, the color could fade simply by the curing process of the cement structure itself of which the concrete pavers are manufactured. Using a pressure washer over concrete pavers will further degrade the surface and age it faster.  Sealer products are clear and transparent.  They brighten and magnify the colors of the surface. That’s what the eye sees.  The colored light that the sealer reflects. The smoother the surface of the pavers the more light is reflected off it.  A weathered surface allows dust to collect more easily and does not reflect the light as well as a preserved smoother surface does. That is why a sealed newer surface appears to be much more colorful than a sealed more weathered surface that has been left to weather under the elements for too long without a synthetic coat protection like the proper sealer.

Perhaps the most important benefit of sealers is that they make pavers less porous, which helps limit stains, since the pavers are less able to soak up the oil or dirt, etc. Sealing your concrete pavers makes cleanup of spills easier if they do happen.

  3.  How long should you wait before cleaning and sealing your pavers? 

Gappsi has been installing pavers for over 40 years and sealing them for more than 20 years.  Our experience and best practice is to take care of any colored concrete surface and pavers installed on driveways and patios.  New installations should weather under the natural elements of rain, sun, and snow for at least 2 years. During this time the concrete structure of the paving stones will cure completely and any efflorescence that has reason to surface on the pavement will be washed away naturally.  The top surface of the concrete pavers has weathered enough to have developed a very fine uniform sandy texture.  This is not visible to the naked eye but enough for a sealant to grab on and allow it to penetrate the substrate. This will make the sealer applied do its job of protecting the surface. 

step-3-cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-process  4.  What is the right sealer and how do you select the one that fits your pavers?

This is where it can get more complicated, costly, or worsen the situation. If you don’t use the right product or the right company to seal your pavers you could degrade the surface of the paving stones.  It is important to start with what is your result you are looking to achieve.  What are your expectations for the project?  Besides planning to protect your outdoor floor investment long term, you need to ask yourself a few questions: 

  • Do you want to see your pavers color in a natural form as they look when they are dry? 
  • Do you like the wet look and want to enhance the color?
  • If you prefer the color enhancement option, what kind of shine? Shiny or Mat
  • Do you want a plastic shine look or do you like a mat color-enhanced look?

step-4-cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-processWhat is Your Preference? 

Based on your preferences we will choose the sealer products that will accomplish the look. There are many manufacturers of sealers on the market and knowing which one is better could be challenging.  In addition, the manufacturer of the sealer you select will have different ways to apply the product.  The application and knowledge of cleaning and sealing pavers are what will give you the correct result.

The quality of your sealed paving stone patio and driveway pavers comes down to the knowledge of the person you trust and hire to complete the project.

Applying sealer to your pavers does NOT automatically guarantee all the good things mentioned above, a poorly sealed job could create a worse eye sore.  It also is an expensive and challenging situation to rectify.  This is because there are not many quality sealer applicators on the market.  There are even fewer applicators willing to take the challenge or even know how to rectify a badly sealed patio and make it look right.

  5.  Best practices for sealing concrete paving stones.

We recommend lightly washing the pavers with a surface cleaner.  This will clean the floor uniformly and most importantly use a pressure washing system that makes hot water at least 150 Fahrenheit.  Once the surface is cleaned of any debris as well as old sand from the joints.  You can go at least one inch deep into the joint.  The floor has to be left until completely dry. The following step is to fill the joints of the pavers with Polymeric sand, let it harden, and then seal the pavers.)

step-5-cleaning-and-sealing-concrete-pavers-process  6. How many types of sealers are there and what are the differences?

Four primary types of sealers can be used to seal concrete pavers: polyurethane, acrylic, Solvent and lastly waterbase based sealers. All these sealers can be modified by the different producers to accomplish different results. Acrylic and polyurethane sealers are the top coating that primarily covers the surface of concrete pavers, they offer color enhancement by magnifying the color pigments on the paver surfaces. solvents and waterbased sealers are penetrating sealer and can offer both a natural look and color enhancement.  If a natural look is desired in the paving stone then a solvent sealer with non enhancers or water-based solution should be used.

  7.  Which sealer is better to use?

All sealers are good as long as you understand how to apply them. 

  • Understanding the surface you are sealing
  • The age of the concrete pavers
  • Is it concrete or a natural stone surface
  • Are you going to apply a slip resistance on the surface?
  • Is it a horizontal or a vertical surface,
  • Is the area damp, the porosity of the product you are planning to seal is important to note.
  • The application procedure of each product changes based on the time of the year you are applying it and the humidity and weather (temperature).

Gappsi Cleaning and Sealing Paving Stones Process

Our experience in cleaning and sealing concrete pavers is not only shown through our expert staff in handling the products but also in the timing between each step of the process.  Using the right right people, with the right equipment to ensure a job is done right for YOU! 

STEP #1

The Gappsi process starts with focusing on losing up and the removal of soil and debris from the paver’s joints using a state-of-the-art high water volume pressure washer that produces 200 Fahrenheit hot water.

STEP #2

The 2nd step is to wash the floor surface using extractor surface cleaners.  This will clean the floors uniformly.  In addition, the suction produced by the surface cleaner extracts any loose material.  This material is loosened and sitting in the pavers gaps.  We pump them out and away from the area being prepared for sealing.

STEP #3

Once the paving stone joints and surface have been completely cleaned.  Allow the patio stones to completely dry. The selection of joint filling material is based on the selection of the sealer we use.

STEP #4

It is important to mention a few things.  If we are sealing a concrete paving surface using a color enhancer sealer.  Then we use a urethane sealer.  In this case, we also use silica sand (color of choice) to fill the joints.  Next, we vibrate the pavement with a specific vibratory roller compactor made for this application process.  This helps the sand settle in between the paver joints and fills the joints tight. Lastly, urethane sealer is applied.

STEP #5

One person sprays the sealer onto the concrete pavers.  The second person moves the sealer around with a blower filling the joints.  This process ensures that the joins fully absorb the sealer when applied to its full depth.  The surface of the pavers becomes sealed in the process while we focus on flooding the joints.  

A second coat of sealer is applied right after while the first coat is still tacky strengthening the seal to the stone.  This binds to the first coat.

STEP #6

When solvent sealers are used the process changes with the use of sand.  We use Polymeric sand instead of Silica sand.  Polymeric sand is a combination of silica sand and polymer manufactured and delivered in dry bags.  After applying to the paver joints and vibrating down, water is applied.  The water activates the polymeric in the sand and causes the sand to harden when dry. The last step is applying the solvent sealer over the entire floor surface.

A great job is only delivered by the following criteria:

  1. the experience and knowledge of the applicator
  2. the right preparation of the surface
  3. the proper equipment used
  4. the appropriate type of sealer selected for the desired outcome.

Pickleball Courts at Home Increase Home Values | Glen Head NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

pickleball-courts-at-home-increase-home-values-glen-head-nyPickleball courts at home increase home values for homeowners who are constantly on the lookout to boost their property’s resale value.  Investing in recreational amenities, particularly a tennis or pickleball court, can be a game changer.

His and her sinks, open floor plans, and pools used to be the hottest trends in real estate.  Then the trend was signature golf courses and beach clubs.  Now all eyes are on pickleball courts. These days, if you want to sell your house, build a pickleball court. That’s right. A recent spike in keyword search data from Zillow shows pickleball courts are the hot new commodity people want in a new place to live.

What Real Estate Agents Are Saying

Real estate agents are witnessing a trend where homeowners are reconfiguring their spaces to accommodate pickleball courts.  They are even converting driveways or repurposing existing sports facilities on ultra-luxury properties.  Pickleball courts at home increase home values.

As a homeowner when you add a pickleball court you immediately boost your property value.   Adding a tennis or pickleball court to a property is similar to upgrading a kitchen or bathroom – it can provide an instant boost in value.  The logic is simple: recreational spaces are attractive features that potential buyers are willing to pay extra for.

Pickleball is a popular sport across various age groups and demographics.  The USA Pickleball Association notes a surge in the sport’s popularity. Homes equipped with courts cater to a broad audience, potentially speeding up the sale process.  It allows homeowners and their families to engage in a fun, healthy activity without leaving their property.

Pickleball Sports Game Courts Impact on Landscape and Space

It is essential to consider the overall impact on the landscape. A well-designed court can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property. Strategic placement and landscaping around the court can create a serene, resort-like ambiance. However, homeowners must ensure they have ample space so that the court doesn’t feel cramped or diminish the utility of the backyard.
While adding a pickleball court is a significant investment, the benefits of property value, lifestyle upgrades, and potential income make it a worthy consideration.

pickleball-courts-at-home-increase-home-values-glen-head-ny1Why Choose Asphalt Court Surfaces

Fast installation: One of the main advantages of using an asphalt surface for pickleball courts is the quick installation. Asphalt can be laid in a matter of days, allowing for a fast turnaround time for court construction. This is particularly advantageous for those who want to have their pickleball court ready for use as soon as possible.

Less costly: Asphalt is less expensive than other court materials such as concrete or clay, making it a more budget-friendly option.

Easily maintained: Asphalt surfaces are relatively easy to maintain, which is important for a pickleball court with frequent use. Regular sweeping and cleaning can help to keep the court free of debris while sealing every couple of years can help to protect the surface from weathering and cracking. Any necessary repairs can be easily made by filling in cracks or holes with asphalt patching material.

Weather-resistant: Asphalt can withstand various weather conditions without becoming damaged or deteriorating.

Why Choose a Concrete Court

Durability: Concrete surfaces are incredibly durable and can withstand heavy use. It lasts longer than asphalt. This makes them an ideal choice for pickleball courts with a lot of activity. Concrete surfaces are also resistant to weathering, which helps to extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.

Low maintenance: Concrete surfaces require minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping and cleaning can help to keep the court free of debris, while periodic sealing can help to protect the surface from weathering and staining. Any necessary repairs needed can be easily made by filling in cracks or holes with concrete patching material.

Cost-effective: While the initial installation cost may be higher than asphalt, the long-term durability and low maintenance requirements of concrete can help to reduce costs over time.

Pickleball Court Built in Glen Head NY

Gappsi recently built a pickleball sports game court in Glen Head NY. The Pickleball court was installed using a recycled concrete base and three and a half inches (3 1/2 inches) of compacted asphalt, then painted with California Sports Surfaces court paint.

We used a dark blue for the Pickleball court area and a dark green for the out-of-bounce area. The court was striped with white lines to finish it.  

We installed an adjustable Dominator multisport court netting. For this application, we adjusted the net for Pickleball. The client wanted the court to be just for Pickleball.  However, the extension can always be added to adjust the netting to be badminton or volleyball.

Our team installed an all-aluminum adjustable Dominator basketball hoop. The Dominator Hoop is a professional-grade, in-ground basketball hoop perfect for your home driveway, backward, playground, or more.

The landscape for the court was designed to resemble an English garden with boxwood edging that was installed all around the perimeter of the Pickleball Sports Game Court.  This is the latest sports game court built by Gappsi in Glen Head located in Nassau County NY.

This home sports game court is striped for basketball and pickleball.  We installed adjustable netting that can be raised to play badminton and volleyball too!  Court markings are essential for any game. Without the right lines, you won’t know where to start the game, where to resume, what some shots are worth, or even what would be considered out of bounds.

Synthetic Turf and Putting Greens

Our team at Gappsi completed part of the yard with synthetic turf and installed a putting green. Artificial golf greens provide a carefree, ready-to-play surface that rivals the practice greens at your local course. A synthetic putting green can be designed to any level of difficulty you desire. Practice uphill and downhill lies or the quirky break of a long putt.

Your putting green installation could be as big as your imagination or as small as you want. We find that golfers are happy with putting greens as small as 250 square feet. An artificial turf putting green and artificial turf lawn can free your weekends to work more with your putting and less with lawnmowing.

Fire Pit Feature Area

In addition to the sports game court and putting green our team sectioned off one corner for a fire pit.  We built a gravel bed filled with pea gravel for decoration.  Pea gravel can be used for a fire pit area because it’s comfortable to walk on, inexpensive, and provides a stable base for seating. Pea gravel is a small, smooth rock that’s often found in river beds. It can be surrounded by layers of pea gravel to create a heat-resistant base.

This is the latest sports game court and putting green built in Mount Sinai NY.
