Gappsi Long Island, NY

There comes a time in the lifespan of all sports fields when they begin to age and wear out. This recent indoor soccer field job in Ronkonkoma, NY, was installed initially and completed 20 years ago.  Sometimes, a sports field requires some maintenance to be restored to the glory days of its former self. The technology of the synthetic surface we use on sports fields today is remarkably different from that used just five years ago. Gappsi can introduce sports field owners to new synthetic turf technology to make older sports fields appear new again.

Our artificial turf sports fields are durable, dependable, safe, and suitable indoors and outdoors. This synthetic option offers unlimited play, low maintenance, and performance found only in the best-kept grasses. Our proven sports field turf grass surfaces are ideal for soccer fields, football fields, baseball fields, multi-purpose fields, lacrosse fields, field hockey fields, bocce courts, croquet courts, and more.

Benefits of Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf Grass

Consistent Performance: Our field turf provides a consistent and reliable playing surface suitable for heavy use and all weather conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for use year-round in sports fields.

Durable: Our field turf is made from synthetic fibers that are resistant to wear and tear, making it long-lasting and cost-effective. It is also low maintenance, requiring minimal effort to keep your sports field in excellent condition.

Environmentally Friendly: Besides its practical benefits, our field turf is also environmentally friendly. Synthetic turf requires less water and maintenance than natural grass, making it a sustainable choice for all sports fields.

synthetic-sports-turf-replacement1We Make Synthetic Turf Removal Look Easy

Synthetic turf significantly affects game performance and user comfort. The turf’s elastic memory and fiber structure tend to deteriorate over time due to play. When this happens, the turf must be replaced to avoid injuries and ensure perfect playability.

Artificial turf fields are robust and can take a beating for quite some time, but nothing lasts forever. After years of heavy use, you will see signs on and around the field suggesting you should consider replacing the turf field playing surface.

Here are some of the “red flags” to look out for:

  • Inlays and seams start loosening up and need repair more frequently
  • The turf field surface color fades from bright green to grey-green
  • Loose turf fibers scattered around the pitch, infill granules piling up on the sides of the turf field
  • An uneven overall look and splitting turf fibers all around the field

Removing artificial grass is a process. To get started, you need a team of highly skilled professionals and a range of equipment. Gappsi has streamlined this process over the years and is one of the most reliable companies on Long Island.

Synthetic Sports Turf Replacement Process

Planning: A detailed site plan and timeline are necessary to deconstruct the turf efficiently. Precise planning and professional site management are essential.

Removing the old system: The actual work of deconstruction begins with removing the turf and separating it from the infill granules and sand. The artificial turf, infill granules, and sand must be removed and separated.

Transporting, disposing of, and recycling waste material: Now that the turf system is removed, the last task is to recycle what you can and dispose of the rest.

Installing the new synthetic turf field surface: Last but not least, the chosen new turf surface is installed on top of the base layer, and a new infill is distributed on top of the turf.

synthetic-sports-turf-replacement2Things to Consider Before Installing New Artificial Turf

Artificial Turf Style

There are so many turf styles to choose from, so select a type that fits your desired aesthetic—short pile, longer pile, all green, etc. We recommend looking at different styles and samples to see what suits your needs.

→ VISIT OUR SYNTHETIC TURF PAGE ←

The new turf we used is manufactured in Italy. This company supplies and builds most sports courts and soccer fields throughout Europe and the world. This turf is a special turf specifically made for indoor use. It requires no infill; we only used silica sand to create weight over the turf. The turf has different sizes, pile heights, and shapes, making it very tight.synthetic-sports-turf-replacement3 With a fast-moving, high-intensity sport like soccer, you want a smooth surface that feels great under the feet and the ball. Plus, a consistent and resilient surface can reduce the risk of injuries. Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf by Italgreen gives you the best of both worlds: a natural underfoot feel like playing on real grass and a premium synthetic turf system’s smooth consistency, durability, and safety.

Italgreen soccer turf represents the maximum technological expression of its genre. It guarantees easy maintenance, exceptional aesthetic appearance, and exceptional performance for soccer and all its derivations, such as futsal and 8-a-side courts.

Italgreen synthetic soccer turf is designed and produced according to the most severe international regulations to guarantee maximum safety, shock absorption, and non-allergenic properties. The constant research and innovation that distinguish the Italgreen model has allowed the Italian company to obtain meaningful certifications such as FIGC and FIR. The artificial soccer turf produced by Italgreen is approved according to the most recent European standard. It is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.

NEXT – Underfelt

We are laying down Next. It is a suspension product that keeps the grass elevated from touching the concrete. It also works as a suspension system, separating the turf from the concrete.  

NEXT optimizes the synthetic turf system’s anti-shock performance, improving performance during sports practice. Thanks to its reticular structure, it also offers draining support integrated into the artificial turf system, which is primarily studied for horizontal drainage underfelts, as demonstrated by laboratory reports issued by LABOSPORT ITALIA.

The shock pad has high performance and excellent draining capacities, complies with international regulations, and is 100% recyclable. The product is fully recyclable and in full conformity.

Innovative Natural Infill

Italgreen’s best system is Geofill®, the prestigious natural infill patented by Italgreen. It consists mainly of plant fibers. Approved by the most relevant teams, its unique and innovative organoleptic properties give this synthetic turf system a touch of incredible naturalness.  This is the infill Italgreen uses in most fields in Italy and abroad.

How Long Can Turf Last?

The duration of synthetic turf depends on various factors, such as the quality of the materials used, the occupancy rate of the courts or fields, and the type of courts, indoor or outdoor.

To keep your synthetic grass flooring performing, periodically clean, brush, and fill any sand that needs to be removed. This is the latest indoor soccer sports game court built by Gappsi in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, NY.

synthetic-sports-turf-replacementConsider Signing Up for Our Professional Turf Field Maintenance Program

Without regular care and maintenance, damage to the pitch will be its undoing sooner than the club and, above all, the players would like. As is often the case, the more often the field is used, the more you should invest in the maintenance and ongoing upkeep of the turf system.

Synthetic turf field maintenance is divided into permanent care, maintenance, and intensive cleaning. Gappsi offers these services using specialized turf maintenance equipment.

If you lack previous experience and know-how in artificial turf field maintenance, we highly recommend contacting our team at Gappsi. It’s the best way to protect the field’s users from injuries and the long-term financial value of your asset.

Using any combination of our wide selection of color options, as well as customizable logos, graphics, and text, we can develop a truly unique court solution that gives your community that wow factor.

Many potential homebuyers take the time to check out the community in which they are looking to purchase a house. They may ask existing residents about the HOA, spend time in the community and meet some of the neighbors. When residents have positive feelings toward an HOA or neighborhood, homes or condos become more attractive to individuals in the market to buy or rent. Events make it easier to meet their neighbors and provide the opportunity to develop a strong sense of community.

Bocce Sports Game Courts In HOA

Bocce is a fantastic way to spend quality time with friends and neighbors. It is fun to play, and it encourages healthy social interaction and friendly competition. Bocce also comes with many healthful perks. It helps to relieve stress and is not a physically demanding sport. It aids in the kind of light activity which allows seniors to maintain independence and mobility as they age. The friendly competition also helps us to focus while we learn how to aim and toss a bocce ball.

Sports-Game-Courts-For-HOABocce Ball Tips And Tricks

Interested in utilizing bocce ball courts but don’t know how to play? We have you covered!

Get a Grip

The right grip is the key to making a good toss in the game of bocce ball. Before releasing the ball, spread your fingers out evenly around the ball to support its weight, and make sure to not apply any pressure with your thumb. Your thumb should only be used to guide the direction of the ball.

Activities And Events For Residents

A bonded neighborhood is a plus for any community and potential home buyers. Whether the majority of the community owns or rents an apartment or a house, unity within these types of communities is appealing. This makes improvements and maintenance for common areas like recreation centers, parks, and pools critical for HOAs. HOA managers can consider opportunities to develop a close-knit neighborhood, such as providing community events and activities.

Creating opportunities for an enjoyable experience within a community doesn’t need to be complicated. Following are some simple resident and community development ideas:

Establish Community Events – Don’t underestimate the value of an active HOA with a friendly community. Many potential homebuyers or future tenants desire to live in a neighborhood with an HOA where there are planned activities and events to socialize and have fun. Ideas include:

  • Pool parties
  • Shuffleboard tournaments
  • Barbecues
  • Wine tastings
  • Dance lessons
  • Yoga and Tai Chi classes

Sports-Game-Courts-For-HOA2Outdoor Shuffleboard Sports Game Courts In HOA’s

Outdoor shuffleboard is played on an outdoor court that is 52 feet long. Discs that are 6 inches in diameter and weigh about 1 lb. are slid down the court into scoring areas. Each end of the court has a scoring area in the shape of a triangle. The tip of the triangle is worth 10 points, the next two zones are worth eight points, and the farthest zones are worth seven points. The first team to 75 points wins.

Mateflex shuffleboard courts are engineered to be the flattest, tightest fitting, and most rigid court tile on the market, designed to remain flat throughout the entire surface of the court. In addition, the unique surface profile texture provides the perfect gliding surface for shuffleboard discs and offers consistent performance for competitive as well as recreational play.

East Setauket Manors HOA –  Bocce Ball & Shuffleboard Sports Game Courts

We installed two bocce courts and two shuffleboards in East Setauket NY at East Setauket Manors HOA apartment complex. Gappsi built and installed two bocce courts side by side.  Each Bocce Ball Sports Game Court was constructed using bocce grass and pressure treated lumbers for the walls along with a recycled concrete base. At the beginning of the courts and in between the courts we installed synthetic turf which blends in with the real grass; it is almost hard to tell them apart.

Gappsi uses very realistic synthetic turf with beautiful realistic colors and pile height. It’s also very dense. It’s 90 ounces per sqft of synthetic grass. Which also used to divide the two courts and in between the shuffleboards and the bocce courts. The shuffle courts were built with poured concrete slabs. We finished them very smoothly and swept them with white. We kept the color of the natural concrete color. The project came out very nicely. The clients are very happy and are making very good use of both shuffleboards and bocce courts. As I said it’s almost hard to tell the difference between synthetic turf and real grass they look very very similar.

Constructing Bocce Courts in Nassau & Suffolk County

Posted by CDP on

Bocce-Ball-Sports-Courts-On-Long-Island-You-TubeBocce ball is a yard or lawn game played on bocce courts in the U.S. and worldwide. Perhaps the best part about this sport is that people of all ages and skillset can play it in their backyard. Gappsi has professional bocce courts designers who can construct custom bocce courts on your property in no time. Before we delve deeper into bocce court construction by our experienced contractors, let’s learn a bit about this ancient sport!

What Is Bocce?

Bocce is a sport one plays with eight weighted balls aimed at pallino or boccino, a tinier target ball. The goal of this sport is to score points by way of inching your ball closer to the pallino than your opponent’s ball. Bocce balls are larger and heavier than the balls used in croquet. That said, the significant rules of bocce have evolved over the years.

One of the best reasons to play bocce is that it’s a low-impact game. Anyone can play it, and it’s even wheelchair-accessible. Moreover, you can play it on various surfaces, and it’s pretty easy to learn. Today, bocce ball foundations and leagues track the game worldwide. It’s also one of the most widely enjoyed games in the world, most popular in Italy among retired Sicilians. There’s a bocce federation in the U.S. as well!

Bocce Ball History

Bocce ball is incredibly popular in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, and Bosnia. It was first discovered through ancient Egyptian artwork from 5200 B.C., depicting boys playing an earlier version of the sport.

Bocce spread and reached Greece in about 600 B.C. Then, Italians picked it up. Today, people from all geographies enjoy playing bocce ball. The sport has also found traction in the U.S., especially among Italian migrants. Moreover, bocce ball has become a popular feature in Special Olympics.

Where Can You Play Bocce?

Bocce ball is played on various surfaces, including gravel, sand, grass, clay, and hard-packed dirt. You can employ our bocce courts designers’ services to create a bocce court on your grass lawn. The only requirement for a bocce court is that the surface should be level. However, if you want a professional-level court, our bocce court installer can create a regulation bocce court. We can use a level surface of grass, clay, sand, or your preferred material.

A campo or bocce court can be 75 feet long and 8 feet wide. It must be enclosed with boarded sides and ends, which are about 12 inches and 18 inches high. It ensures all the weighted balls remain in the court and can rebound from the side walls.

Bocce-Ball-Sports-Courts-On-Long-IslandA Regulation Bocce Court

You can hire Gappsi to build a regulation bocce ball court in Nassau & Suffolk County. Our bocce turf is designed to offer a top-tier, professional bocce experience. Additionally, it does not require any maintenance. We also provide our clients with customized engraved bocce balls.

Moreover, our regulation bocce courts feature two, putting green holes on either end. We can design a regulation court or a custom-sized one, depending on your preference. For instance, our bocce courts designers have experience installing regular courts that are 10 feet wide and 60 feet long. We can customize the size of the court based on your yard size.

Bocce Courts Designers Install Safe & Professional Turfs

Gappsi has years of experience as a supplier for sports game courts in Long Island, NY. When preparing our bocce courts, we ensure the surface reduces the risk of fall injuries. Our synthetic turns offer comfortable, high-performance, and safe artificial grass for bocce. We also use a rubberized underlay to lessen the impact of falls. If you want realistic synthetic turf on your court, Gappsi has the finest, highest-grade turf for its sports game courts.

When building a bocce court, you must be mindful of material, moisture, and grade. Gappsi uses synthetic turf, arguably the best material for bocce courts. Other materials used for these courts include crushed oyster shells, short grass, sand, and decomposed granite.

We design our courts to minimize bounce for easy play. Moreover, moisture can ruin the court surface. We use an appropriate drainage system to ensure the court remains as dry as possible. Lastly, our bocce courts designers install flat court surfaces for all projects. This way, the weighted balls or boccino don’t end up in the same corner and stay in place. We also add a high border to keep the balls within the court.

Engraved-Custom-Bocce-Balls-Gappsi-long-island-scaled-1Why Gappsi Uses Synthetic Grass for Its Bocce Courts

Are you wondering why our contractors use synthetic grass for bocce court surfaces? The truth is that synthetic grass turf cuts down on the maintenance and upkeep of the court. We construct our premium bocce courts with a recycled concrete base, 6×6 pressure-treated railroad ties, and top-quality synthetic turf.

Other court constructions replace the turf with 2 inches of bluestone dust, which requires regular maintenance. The bluestone rocks trap leaves, petals, dust, etc. It also requires annual respreading. However, our synthetic turn requires the bare minimum maintenance.

Even though this bocce court construction costs more than a typical court in Long Island, NY, it proves to be cost-effective. When debris like leaves falls on the court, you can clean it with a blower. Since the court surface does not require regular maintenance, it will not cost you a lot to maintain in the long run. Furthermore, since we installed the court on a concrete pad, the synthetic turf is playable throughout the seasons. It never requires raking or rolling.

That said, if you want our bocce court designers to use bluestone dust, clay, or crushed marble dust, we can use them to construct your court. We design all our bocce courts in Nassau & Suffolk County to satisfy our client’s needs.
