Swimming Pool with Marble Pavers, Sundeck and Water Bubblers | Bellmore NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NYThis backyard swimming pool with marble pavers, sundeck, and water bubblers was designed and installed by Gappsi in Bellmore NY. 

Concrete Wall Pool with Vinyl Liner

We installed a 20×40 concrete wall vinyl pool. The liner is a textured liner, resembling a hydrazzo finish used in a gunite pool.  Touch and feel the difference in the fully textured and embossed designer vinyl liner!  A concrete wall vinyl pool is a process of binding a vinyl pool liner onto a concrete pool. The process involves cleaning and priming the concrete pool shell before adding the vinyl liner.  The liner is then sealed from top to bottom.  Thanks to the flexible nature of modern vinyl, the material can adapt to any pool size and shape.

The Benefits of Installing a Vinyl Liner on a Concrete Pool

  • Classy Vinyl Finish is popular with homeowners, large commercial pools, and professional swimming pools for the same reason.
  • Rejuvenates the appearance.
  • Older concrete pools are often plagued with cracks, stains, leaks, black spots of algae, or tiles falling off. Vinyl negates all of these issues while bringing a more modern appearance.
  • Vinyl is naturally resilient to algae
  • Vinyl liners need less maintenance

Old concrete pools can undergo a concrete pool renovation to add colorful tiles, but these will inevitably fade and fall off.

Switching to vinyl allows for a wide range of colors and styles. There’s a vinyl pool liner to suit any pool area. Choose from tropical blues, dark stone colors, modern sandstone, and textured finishes.

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY2Why Marble is the Perfect Outdoor Paver – Gappsi Natural Stone Collection

Marble tiles are heat resistant, anyone walking around the pool area will keep their feet cool and thus be less likely to injure themselves from the sun’s heat. This is an important consideration if you have children and the elderly living with you.

We used G043 marble pavers selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection and two-inch coping. The pool edge and the autocover box used G043.

Marble pavers are practical, durable, versatile, elegant, and majestic.  They are a worthy investment for any home pool surrounds, outdoor areas like patios, steps, staircases, and even driveways.

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY1Sundeck and Water Bubblers Benfits

The pool has a gradual slope from 43 inches to 56 inches. We built a sundeck in the shallow area with 12 inches of water in the sundeck and two bubblers.  The two bubblers in the sundeck work as a water feature. They also create waves in the pool making the entire pool a water feature.  The height of the bubbler can adjust to work lower or higher for different effects. We also installed LED lights on one side of the pool shining away from the house.  The lights change color in the evening adding ambiance to the yard.

Water features, like fountains and waterfalls, can add a touch of luxury to your poolscape. Water features can be added to sun shelves or built into the pool.

Benefits of Adding a Sun Shelf to Your Swimming Pool

  1. Extra space for relaxing and entertaining
  2. A place for little ones to play
  3. Greater swimming pool accessibility
  4. Increased pool usage
  5. Enhanced pool aesthetics

Electric Swimming-Pool Safety Auto-CoversPool Safty Auto Covers

This pool is equipped with a safety auto cover.  Automatic safety covers are intended for daily use instead of only seasonal usage.  As warm weather approaches use the auto cover to have warmer water.  The heavy vinyl cover not only traps heat in the water, but as a large surface area for the sun to hit, it helps keep your water warmer. This can be more than just comfortable, it can be economical. A naturally warmer pool needs less heating, reducing your cost of ownership.

What other covers can only offer in the winter- automatic safety covers offer every day.

There is no safer way to cover your pool than with the daily use of an automatic safety cover! These covers ensure that all the sides of the pool are sealed preventing any entry into the pool resulting in extreme peace of mind whenever your pool is not in use.

Safety Covers minimize evaporation daily and can help lower water bills throughout a swimming season. You will not have to add water to the pool to account for the lost volume!

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY3Auto covers also help to keep your pool clean much more often and by keeping dirt and debris out of your pool regularly, you have the additional added benefits of:

  • Reducing the need to run your filtration system (energy saving!)
  • Decreasing the expense/usage of chemicals & chlorine required to keep your pool clean
  • Using a pool cover can reduce a pool’s chemical consumption by 35 – 60%
  • Dramatically reducing the costs of service routines by needing them less often

To complete the backyard Gappsi in addition veneered the stoop with quartz stone.  We used G043 marble pavers and veneered the edge of the steps. This is the latest Gappsi backyard pool and patio design installation in Bellmore Nassau County NY.

Upgrade Your Outdoors with a Patio and Pool Renovation – Bellmore NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Upgrade-Your-Outdoors-with-a-Patio-and-Pool-RenovationAre You Ready to Upgrade Your Outdoors with a Patio and Pool Renovation?

Are you thinking about a patio and pool renovation?  With all the options of a grand backyard remodel, we know first-hand that it can be overwhelming to decide which remodeling ideas are worth the investment. Below, we have included some remodeling ideas that we believe can give you a wonderful result and add value to your property.

Our team at Gappsi renovated this backyard located in Bellmore NY.  The pool was a very unique construction. It had a concrete floor and fiberglass walls. We modified the pool and installed a new liner that was dark black with a very unique and beautiful design on it.  We also created a sundeck in the pool and added two bubblers.

Here’s Why Investing in a New Vinyl Liner is a Decision You Won’t Regret!

  1. Enhanced Aesthetics:  A new vinyl liner can transform the appearance of your pool, turning it into a captivating centerpiece. With abundant patterns to choose from, you have the creative freedom to align your pool’s aesthetic with your style.
  2. Improved Pool Safety: Safety is paramount, and a new vinyl liner contributes to the security of your pool area. Cracks, tears, and worn-out liners can pose safety hazards. By replacing your old liner, you ensure a secure environment for your family and guests. Our high-quality liner construction provides a reliable barrier between swimmers and the pool’s structure.
  3. Longer Lifespan of Your Pool: A vinyl liner acts as a protective shield for your pool’s shell. By investing in a quality liner, you’re safeguarding your pool from potential damage caused by water and chemicals. This not only extends the life of your pool but also reduces the need for frequent repairs and maintenance.
  4. Increased Energy Efficiency: A Greener Pool!  An upgraded vinyl liner contributes to a more energy-efficient pool. The improved insulation properties of the liner help regulate the water temperature, reducing heat loss during the colder months. This leads to lower energy consumption and decreased heating costs. Additionally, the liner minimizes water loss through evaporation, further contributing to a greener pool operation.
  5. Savings: The financial benefits of a new vinyl swimming pool liner extend beyond reduced energy costs. With enhanced durability and protection, you’re likely to save on maintenance expenses and potential repairs. By making this investment now, you’re setting the stage for long-term financial savings.

Upgrade-Your-Outdoors-with-a-Patio-and-Pool-Renovation2Pretty Your Place with Natural Stone Pavers

Adding a brand-new pool deck or pool pavers could be your answer to a beautiful outdoor upgrade to complete your outdoor space. For a well-designed landscape, a pool deck or patio is just as important as the pool. From sunbaking to playing and entertaining your guests, you may find that you spend more time on the deck than inside your swimming pool. A well-thought-out design should be considered to finish your landscape.

Whether you’re looking to create a tropical oasis, natural grotto, or modern masterpiece, pool decking can take your swimming pool to the next level.

Upgrade Your Outdoors with a Patio and Pool Renovation1For the patio, we used G044 Gray Limestone selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. The luxurious feel and look of limestone make it a great choice for a patio and pool deck. We used two inches of coping for the pool edges and a French pattern for the entire backyard.

Make a Splash with Pool Water Features

Our team at Gappsi installed a water feature wall with a sheer descent.  Included in the water feature are two LED spillover water balls that light up at night.

When you add water features to your outdoor area, the lush sound of falling water can boost your ambiance level around the pool.  Adding water features that make a splash, like fountains, waterfalls, scuppers, and sprayers, are often simple to layer into an existing pool design and can breathe new life into a lackluster pool area with motion and sound.

Enhance Your Outdoor Living Space with a Pergola, Gazebo, or Pavilion

An outdoor structure like a gazebo, pergola, or pavilion will enable you to spend more time with friends and family outside. This allows you to enjoy fresh air and sunshine while you relax in your exterior living space. Each option can be a stylish and practical addition to any landscape design and increase the value of your home. Whether you’re looking to add shade to your backyard or create the perfect platform for your stone fire pit – a covered patio can provide the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing at home.

Upgrade-Your-Outdoors-with-a-Patio-and-Pool-Renovation4Gappsi built a pavilion covering the outdoor kitchen with an L-shaped Island. We veneered the walls with a 4-inch split face silver travertine and black granite polished countertop.  In addition, we installed all Fire Magic Appliances, including the bar sink, grill, and drawers.  We used a Summit Refrigerator to complete the outdoor kitchen.  In a separate area, we added an Alfa 4 Pizza Wood-Burning Oven.

Heat Things With a Fire Pit

A fire pit is a fantastic way to give your outdoor space warmth, and unintentional light might be the upgrade your outdoor area needs. When thoughtfully designed and integrated into your property’s landscape, an outdoor firepit will extend the living space of your home and provide another zone for your family and friends to gather.  A sitting area was made for the gas firepit and added a Henry Studio concrete bench.

What About Adding a Passion Spa The Excite to Your Backyard Paradise

The Excite Spa is a spacious spa that provides room for up to seven people. Full bench seating combined with a variety of massage experiences.  Gappsi installed The Excite by Passion Spas.  It is unique and highly therapeutic with aqua rolling massage, therapy wave zone intense, and waterfall massage.

7 Benefits of Soaking in Spa or Hot Tub

  • Stress relief
  • Muscle relaxation.
  • Improved sleep.
  • Pain relief.
  • Better cardiovascular health.
  • Improved insulin sensitivity.
  • Calorie burn.

Upgrade-Your-Outdoors-with-a-Patio-and-Pool-Renovation5Create a Pet Dog Run with Artificial Grass 

Dogs love comfort just as much as humans and take to artificial grass pretty quickly. It feels very similar to real grass and looks almost identical, except it can’t be dug up or made muddy. We also assure you that our artificial grass is safe for pets as there are no toxin layers on our grass.  We installed synthetic turf on the side of the house for a dog run.

Artificial Grass is Extremely Durable

Unlike real grass, which is prone to brown patches, holes, and mud, synthetic turf provides a durable play area for your pups that can handle any level of roughhousing. The synthetic polyethylene material will never fade or turn brown, no matter how much traffic it sees, so your home will look beautiful and well-maintained all year long. Our pet turf also features an ultra-durable turf backing that is triple-reinforced through tuft bind technology, ensuring that your grass blades won’t break or tear, even with hours of running and playing.

Allergen-Free Synthetic Turf

Hayfever, or grass allergy, is extremely common among humans. But did you know that dogs can have allergic reactions to grass and its maintenance chemicals too? The pesticides and fertilizers needed to maintain natural grass can harm your dogs’ health and aggravate their allergies. Artificial grass doesn’t have the same high pollen count as natural grass and doesn’t require any harmful chemicals to maintain its lush appearance. Therefore, your dogs can run around happy and healthy without any cause for worry.

This is the latest Gappsi backyard pool and patio renovation.  It was an extremely detailed backyard, complete with multiple entertaining areas.   completed in Bellmore Nassau County, Long Island NY. Very detailed backyard, complete with everything.

Patio Pool And Fire Pit Paver Design

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Patio-Pool-And-Fire-Pit-Paver-Design3The patio, pool, and fire pit paver design are backyard staples and make an excellent addition to any home. Have you ever been hit with the cool air as you were climbing out of the swimming pool? Did it make you think about jumping back in to get warm again?  If you answered yes then you know what we’re talking about.

While shivering in a towel is a small price to pay for swimming in less-than-ideal weather, we want you to know that it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, getting out of the pool can be just as pleasant as getting in.

A fire pit is a perfect spot to warm up after your swim, and it creates a great entertainment center for family and guests.  Fire pits can be used year-round in many climates. They also take up a relatively small footprint, making them a good option for large and small spaces alike.

Many fire pits that you see are above-ground fire pits, they retain a wall or barrier around the fire on all or most sides.  They are usually at least a foot high, but they can be up to 20 inches high on one or more sides.  In addition, fire pits are built to sit slightly below the seating area, but if you want to sit on the edge of the fire pit rather than on chairs or benches, your fire pit should be around 18 to 20 inches high.

The Freeform Vinyl Pool

The freeform pool shape can incorporate dramatic curves for a modern look or maximize available swimming space with a more relaxed wavy design. If you’re looking for a more fun, informal, natural-looking pool shape, the freeform pool design is your best choice.

  • Patio-Pool-And-Fire-Pit-Paver-Design2Design Benefits: Organic freeform shape seamlessly integrates features and add-ons.
  • Common Features: Customize your freeform swimming pool with a tanning ledge, swim-up seating, and slip-resistant steps.
  • Considerations: Freeform pools are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles and can work with any backyard design.

Sandblasted Marble Pavers

Sandblasted Marble Pavers offer an elegant feel to your home with a blend of cream and taupe hues. The pavers enhance any outdoor space and are great for patio decks, pathways, driveways, outdoor steps, and pool decks.  Stone is a product of nature and will vary in color, marking, and texture.

Marble Pavers are high quality, durable, and resistant to heat and pressure. Marble is a type of limestone that is formed after being exposed to extreme pressure and temperatures. The texture of the stone is sandblasted, which provides a non-slippery finish. Being a natural stone, marble remains cool to the touch, even on a hot day.  As the temperature rises, it’s the perfect time to hop into the pool. However, it’s important to make sure that your pool has the right pool deck to offer an eye-catching way to make sure your pool fits into your landscape and that you have a nice place to dry off and hang out around the pool.

Patio-Pool-And-Fire-Pit-Paver-Design1There are pros & cons to any material you use as a pool deck or otherwise around your home. 

  1. Beautiful stone material – You can rely on marble for a bit of natural beauty around your pool.
  2. Range of marble colors – A marble pool deck is available in a variety of stone colors. You can find marble in colors such as shades of brown, cream, and silver.
  3. Cool surface to walk on – Marble stays fairly cool. This means that even when you’re enjoying a dip in the pool during the hottest part of the day, you won’t have to worry as much about hurting your feet on a hot pool deck.
  4. Durable & weather resistant – Marble is also highly sought after because it’s a durable material. Another great part of using marble is that it’s weather-resistant which means that you won’t see damage from use outside over the years.
  5. Increase home property value – Having a pool already boosts your property value but using marble as a pool deck tends to add property value as well. It can be a gain in property value compared to other pool deck materials.

Not everything about marble can be positive. Like any other material, there are a few drawbacks to marble.

  1. High-cost material – A con of marble actually relates to the last pro we brought up. As a luxury item, marble can increase your property value but it comes at a higher cost than some other material options. Luckily, the good news is that the added property value can help mitigate this upfront cost.
  2. Marble can stain – Beware of staining your marble pool deck since it is a porous material. For a pool deck, this isn’t usually a problem but if you host pool parties with food and drinks, for example, it’s a good idea to try to avoid spills and clean up any directly after they happen.

Patio-Pool-And-Fire-Pit-Paver-DesignVinyl Pool With Breeo Smokeless Fire Pit Nesconset NY

We built this large vinyl pool in Nesconset NY. It is a concrete wall freeform pool with a vinyl liner. We installed this sunk-down fire pit area and a wall in the background with water features. A large S.R. Smith turbo twister pool slide in gray was installed along with a diving board. The Gappsi team installed G041 sandblasted marble pavers from the Gappsi natural stone collection. The customer chose a french pattern for the patio with a two-inch coping for the pool. Marble veneers were chosen for the sheer descent walls and two spillover acrylic water balls.  The Breeo fire pit was built with eldorado cement reinforced kit and veneered with white marble veneers the coping for the fire pit is G041 sandblasted marble and the firepit insert is the Breeo X Series 30 Smokeless wood burning insert.

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.

Fiorito-Travertine-Patios-and-Pool-CopingFiorito Travertine Pavers and Pool Coping In Islip NY

Gappsi recently designed a backyard and installed a pool for a residence in Islip NY. We built a 20×40 vinyl pool with concrete walls. The pool is 5 inches in the shallow area to 66 inches in the deep-end water height. We installed a 2 inches coping and patio with G035 travertine selected from the Gappsi stone collection throughout the backyard, surrounding the pool up to the backyard sliding door.

Gappsi also created 3 sided steps leading to the backyard. We built a pool house with a sitting area to the outside connecting to the indoors with a window to pass through all trimmed with Azek. The floor was carried throughout the inside of the pool house. A bar area was designed including a refrigerator and storage cabinet with a gas fireplace too! We created an open bean look all painted to match the white trim moldings throughout the pool house. Very beautiful functional layout including a bathroom with many details especially in the columns.  Gappsi built pillars below the swimming pool, they are equipped with an auto cover too.

Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-CoversThe benefits of owning a swimming pool equipped with Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers are many. Homeowners in the market looking to purchase a swimming pool sometimes are not educated by their pool contractors.  Most often they focus on items that are less important for the large investment. A safety auto-cover is one item.  The benefits it offers far surpass the cost of buying one, you just need to educate yourself on them. Often consumers don’t purchase it mainly because the contractor does not take the time to educate the consumer on the benefits a safe electric auto-cover offers.

At Gappsi, as experienced pool builders and residential outdoor living designers and builders.  We have incorporated and built many backyards with swimming pools equipped with automatic retractable safety pool covers. We have calculated that operating and owning a swimming pool without an auto-cover is.  It would cost more than paying principal and financing charges if you have to get financing to install a safety auto-cover on your new swimming pool.

An automatic pool cover is a reliable and convenient way to keep your family safe around the pool.  It also is helpful in preserving its water level, chemistry, and heat for longer.

These retractable electric pool covers are effective safety barriers for your children, prevent debris from falling into your pool, and reduce your maintenance and heating costs. With a simple turn of a key or touch of a button, your warm, clean pool will be ready to go for a fun day of swimming.

Heat, Water, and Chemical Retention

While protecting your children is always our top priority, our automatic pool covers do so much more. We use a special fabric and webbing inside the track to insulate your pool

This insulation helps to prevent evaporation and loss of heat. With these covers, you won’t need to top off your pool water quite as often, and the water will stay warmer for longer. This helps you operate your heater more efficiently and keep the pool at a comfortable swimming temperature for a much longer swimming season!

Gappsi retractable pool covers are also opaque, and completely block out sunlight while the pool is closed. Sunlight exposure makes sanitizing chemicals like chlorine break down more quickly in the water, as well as contributes to the growth of algae.

Building a New Pool or Have an Existing pool? Does your pool qualify for an automatic pool cover based on your pool shape and layout?

  • New Build – Yes ✔

If you are building a new pool, you can incorporate an automatic pool cover into your build.

  • Existing Pool – Maybe?

It will depend on your pool’s shape and deck layout. Read more about the system below to see if your existing pool can accommodate one.

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-Covers1Examples of Pools that CANNOT have automatic covers:

  • Raised Walls (some exceptions can be made, see pools that can have auto covers)
  • Spas that stick up higher than the pool height
  • The deck is not one level – end to end.
  • Raised Rocks/ Dive Rocks at the edge of the pool

Examples of Pools that CAN have automatic covers:

  • One Level from End to End
  • No Changes in Elevation

Other Pool Cover Options

While an electric pool cover for your inground pool is a great option that we highly recommend, we know it is not always the ideal solution for every pool. Other great options are available, including mesh safety covers, pool safety nets, and pool safety fences, which all provide their own unique benefits for you and your loved ones.

Winterizing Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers

Although during the winter your pool cover requires less attention, water and/or snow will build up on the cover. If the water level in the pool is not properly maintained, serious damage to the cover can occur. Properly maintaining a pool’s water level prevents excess weight on the top surface of the cover that can cause damage to the cover system.

During the winter, make at least monthly inspections of the pool’s water level and make sure the cover pump is operating properly so that water on top of the cover does not build up. Even a few inches of water on top of the cover is an enormous weight and can pull the cover and guide it into the pool. In situations where the water level is too low, you should add water to the pool immediately to better support the water or ice that is on the cover. Your cover will survive any normal winter if these simple precautions are taken.

Make sure your water is chemically balanced before covering the pool for extended periods of time. Double-check the water after the chemicals had a chance to mix completely. This may require checking the pool water a day or two after chemicals have been added. When covering the pool for long periods of time, turn down ozone generators and chemical feeders to their lowest level. The constant long-term build-up of ozone can damage the fabric. Place the cover pump on the cover to remove melted snow.

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-Covers2Vinyl Pool With AutoCover and Large Natural Stone Pool Pavers

Located in Brightwaters Long Island Gappsi added to an existing 16 x 34 vinyl liner pool built with concrete walls.  We built a sundeck on one side of the pool and steps across the entire sundeck with a bench on each side of the stairs. Additionally, we installed two water bubblers on the sundeck and led lights in the pool. Gappsi installed the automatic retractable safety pool covers for the homeowner too.

The patio consists of G045 limestone selected from the Gappsi stone collection roman pattern for the patio and rock-faced tumbled coping for the pool edges. We also built a gas fire pit for the family to enjoy. The wall is veneered with natural stones and the coping is matching to the pool coping with the G045 2 inches of rock-faced and tumbled coping.  Latest backyard design and installation by Gappsi.
