Your backyard should be a place for relaxation, not another list of chores. While the idea of a classic bocce court sounds appealing, the thought of constant maintenance, like raking bluestone dust and clearing debris, can be a major turn-off. What if you could have all the fun with virtually none of the upkeep? Modern materials have completely changed the game. Professional bocce court builders now specialize in creating beautiful, all-weather courts with synthetic turf surfaces that are easy to clean with a simple leaf blower. This means you can spend less time working and more time playing.

Frequently Asked Questions
My yard isn’t huge. What’s the minimum space I need for a bocce court? While a regulation court is quite large, most residential courts are built to fit the space you have available. We often build courts around 10 feet by 60 feet, but the final dimensions are completely flexible. The best approach is to have us look at your property so we can design a court that feels like a natural and intentional part of your landscape.
How much easier is a synthetic turf court to maintain compared to a traditional one? The difference is significant. A traditional bluestone court requires regular raking to keep the surface even, and cleaning out leaves or pine needles can be a tedious task. With a synthetic turf court, maintenance is as simple as using a leaf blower to clear away any debris. This lets you spend your time playing the game, not preparing the court.
Does playing on synthetic turf feel different than playing on a traditional bluestone court? Modern synthetic turf is engineered to provide an excellent playing experience. It offers a smooth and consistent surface, allowing the balls to roll true every time. Our exclusive deluxe turf is even designed to meet professional standards, so you get an authentic feel without any of the traditional upkeep.
Are the court designs limited to the Basic, Premium, and Deluxe packages? Not at all. Think of those packages as starting points to help you understand the options. We design and build completely custom courts tailored to your backyard’s style, your budget, and how you plan to use the space. We can help you choose the right materials and features to create a court that’s perfect for you.
What’s the first step if I’m interested in getting a bocce court built? The best way to start is by giving us a call or visiting our showroom. We can talk through your ideas, look at your property, and discuss the different material and design options. From there, we can create a plan that brings your vision for a backyard bocce court to life.

East Hampton Gunite Swimming Pool Designer & Builder. This gunite swimming pool was designed and installed by Gappsi in East Hampton, NY. This pool design is a classic Hampton style with clean straight lines and bluestone coping for both the swimming pool and spill-over spa. The inside of the swimming pool incorporates corner steps and a straight bench along the 38 ft side of the swimming pool and on both sides of the spa. Bluestone coping was custom-cut 2 inches thick, 24 inches wide, and flamed. The pool coping and patio between pool and pool house was built with bluestone flagging. The gunite shell beam was shot 24 inches wide to accommodate the bluestone coping. And as a more classical look for the Hamptons area, natural grass was installed up to the edge of the pool coping.
This swimming pool, backyard patio, and the house exterior renovation were designed by Giuseppe Abbrancati and installed by the Gappsi team. We decided to use 24×24 porcelain pavers. Porcelain pavers are very durable and require no maintenance; they are also very precise in size and thickness. Their color variations are also very consistent and the texture is very comfortable to walk on. The home owner wanted a modern and clean look, with a stucco finish for the exterior walls and a simple stack bond pattern for the patio. The colors were a perfect blend of light beige and the pool coping was made of sandblasted marble pavers. This highlighted the pool shape and also matched the white trim of the house.
