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.

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.

Fiorito Travertine Patios and Pool Coping

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Fiorito-Travertine-Patios-and-Pool-Coping2Travertine Patios and Pool Coping are the perfect stone material to use on Long Island NY for your outdoor living space.  Travertine is a natural stone,  created in shallow bodies of water.  The residue of lime settled and built up over millions of years in a massive thick block. The colors of the travertine derive from soil and minerals that contaminated the ground in the area where lime settled. Fossils trapped between the bodies of travertine accumulate and become the exposed holes you see in the travertine surface.

Formed beneath the hot springs over millions of years Travertine is a gorgeous stone material. When geothermal groundwater heats up, water shoots up, thus creating the pits and unique character on the surface of each stone.  The holes on the travertine pavers may appear to be a defect to some people, but it’s not. It is just a natural occurrence that has happened over millions of years during the stone structure formation. The holes and imperfections of travertine surfaces can never be mistaken with any other stone; it is unique and timeless.

It Stays Cool On Those Hot SUMMER Days!

Travertine is very cool on hot summer days due to the fact that the body structure of travertine is pure lime and contains no minerals or iron.  If you could hire Michelangelo to custom paint your patio I am pretty sure he would not be able to create such a remarkable color pattern as you see in this Fiorito Travertine Stone. This particular Fiorito travertine stone is one of the oldest travertine formations due to the multicolor variation and the line of onyx crystallization that appears on the surface of the stone.

Travertine Pool Decks – What Is It?

Ever so popular, travertine remains one of the most favorable stone tiles because of its unique aesthetics and functionality where it is also used as indoor, patio, and path walk tiles for both residential and commercial use.

A travertine pool deck is an outdoor decking system that utilizes the unique natural beauty and function of travertine tiles. Travertine pool decks offer a rustic appearance, but with the color variations available, you will find that travertine tiles as versatile options that can work on any style you are aiming for.

Color variations include but are not limited to white, gray, beige, silver, rustic black, ivory, walnut, and cream. Travertine tiles give a homey feel to your pool deck area and the subtle differences in the color of each stone will surely make your pool area stand out.

Fiorito-Travertine-Patios-and-Pool-Coping1A beautiful weathered look. Travertine tiles are undeniably gorgeous. Investing in a travertine pool deck will add curb value to your property. You can easily create a comfortable, cozy-looking pool deck with travertine tiles as the graining and primary tile colors have a warm natural color tone.

An attractive quality of Travertine is that it can last a lifetime. With proper care, and correct installation, and is not subjected to extreme wear and tear, average-grade travertine tiles could last over 100 years.

Easy workability. Travertine tiles are easy to cut and shape in any design you want. This advantage makes it easy to work with, especially with uneven surfaces and irregular layouts of pool decks.

Easy and low maintenance. You do not need a little more effort in maintaining your travertine tiles compared to ceramic or marble. See examples of marble pool decks here.

Multicolor Travertine Patio and Coping G035 Fiorito

G035 Travertine Fiorito is a natural stone exclusively produced for Gappsi. It is a unique stone with a large range of color variations created together by Mother Nature. The combination of beige, brown, maroon, gray, gold, peach and many other shades and colors are all in this stone. The finish on this travertine is tumbled and honed. The tumbled finish gives the edges of every stone a rustic look and the honed finish gives a matte and smooth texture, enough to give the top of the stones a comfortable surface when walked on.

It is still considered one of the easiest floor surfaces to maintain. Regular sweeping and light setting on your power wash for removing stubborn dirt.
