Do you know how to clean and maintain pet synthetic turf?  Learn how Gappsi sanitizes and deodorizes your dog run in Smithtown, N.Y.

Pet owners who choose synthetic turf for their backyards often do so because of its durability, cleanliness, and low maintenance requirements. At a residence in Smithtown, NY, Gappsi recently completed the installation of a pet-friendly synthetic turf.  Designed for a family that breeds dogs. This family has a designated dog run area beside their patio.  It includes not only turf but also a secure cage for training sessions and temporary confinement when necessary.

The synthetic turf installed at this residence is 100% permeable, allowing liquids to pass through easily, which is essential for dog runs. It’s a short-pile, easy-to-clean surface engineered specifically for high-use pet applications. However, as with any space frequently used by animals, routine maintenance is crucial to ensure the area remains clean and odor-free.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the simple process of cleaning and maintaining your synthetic turf using Gappsi’s new Italian-made cleaning product, whether you have a similar dog run or want to keep your artificial lawn fresh and clean.  These steps will help you maintain a safe, pleasant environment for both pets and people.

Why Pet Turf Maintenance Is Important

Synthetic turf, especially in areas designated for dogs, can accumulate bacteria and odors over time. Even the best drainage can’t eliminate the lingering smell of pet urine or the buildup of waste particles. For dog breeders, pet lovers, or anyone with an active dog run, regular sanitation is essential to prevent odor, bacterial growth, and discoloration of the turf.

This is especially true when multiple dogs share the same area, such as at the Smithtown property. Maintaining a clean turf area promotes the health of the animals and ensures a more pleasant overall backyard environment.

Introducing Our New Turf Cleaner: Safe, Effective, and Italian-Made

To solve the everyday challenges of pet turf maintenance, Gappsi now offers a new cleaning and deodorizing solution manufactured in Italy. This powerful product is specially designed to sanitize and deodorize synthetic turf without the use of harsh chemicals. It’s safe for both humans and pets, making it the perfect solution for families, breeders, and pet care professionals.

What sets this cleaner apart is its natural composition and effectiveness. It doesn’t mask odors, it eliminates them while also killing bacteria that might be growing on or beneath the turf fibers. It’s safe and biodegradable, and it’s an environmentally responsible choice as well.

How to Apply the Synthetic Turf Cleaner

Using the Gappsi turf cleaner is quick and straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you maintain your synthetic turf:

1. How to Mix the Solution

You’ll need a garden sprayer or similar tool to apply the cleaner. Mix one part of the cleaning solution with four parts cold water. This dilution is strong enough to effectively sanitize and deodorize the turf without causing damage to the fibers or the drainage system.

2. How to Spray the Turf

Once the solution is mixed, lightly spray it evenly across the turf surface. There’s no need to saturate the area; a light, even coating is all that’s required. A gallon of diluted cleaner should cover approximately 1,000 square feet of turf, which makes this method both cost-effective and efficient.

3. Let the Cleaner Sit

After spraying, allow the cleaner to sit on the turf for at least one hour. This contact time is crucial for the active ingredients to break down odors, eliminate bacteria, and leave your turf smelling fresh.

4. When to Rinse the Area

After one hour, rinse the turf with a light spray of water. There’s no need to pressure wash the turf.  A gentle rinse is enough to remove the cleaner and any debris it has lifted. Thanks to the turf’s permeability, the solution and rinse water will drain away naturally, leaving the surface clean and dry within minutes.

how-to-clean-and-maintain-pet-synthetic-turf1How to Maintain Your Pet Synthetic Turf – Should You Clean Your Turf?

For residential backyards with moderate dog activity, applying the cleaner once a year may be sufficient. However, in high-use areas, such as dog runs or breeder yards like the Smithtown installation, weekly application is recommended. This frequent cleaning ensures the area remains sanitary and odor-free, even with multiple dogs using the space daily.

This is not an expensive process; keeping up with weekly maintenance won’t break the bank. Many homeowners choose to incorporate it into their routine backyard cleaning, making it as normal as watering plants or picking up waste.

Where to Get the Turf Cleaner

The Gappsi turf cleaning solution is available for purchase at the Gappsi showroom. Our team is happy to provide instructions on how to use the product, demonstrate the proper dilution method, and answer any questions you may have about maintaining synthetic turf for dogs or general use.

Benefits of Using Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf Maintenance System

  • Pet & People Friendly: The cleaner is non-toxic and safe for both animals and humans.
  • Cost-Effective: A little goes a long way — one gallon of diluted solution can cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
  • Fast & Easy Application: No special equipment or professional service required.
  • Efficient Maintenance: Prevents odor buildup, eliminates bacteria, and prolongs the life of your turf.
  • Perfect for All Synthetic Turf: Whether you use your turf for pets, recreation, or landscaping, this product keeps it fresh and clean.

Clean and Maintain Pet Synthetic Turf

Maintaining a clean and odor-free synthetic turf area doesn’t have to be a chore, especially when you have the right tools and products. For pet owners and breeders like the family in Smithtown, NY, Gappsi’s pet turf solution provides an easy and effective way to ensure their dogs have a safe, sanitary environment year-round.

Whether your turf is used daily by dogs or just occasionally, investing a small amount of time each week or month into cleaning will keep it looking great and functioning at its best.

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.

Synthetic Turf Dog Run Smithtown NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Synthetic Turf Dog Run Smithtown NY

Synthetic Turf Dog Run Smithtown NYThis dog playground was built in Smithtown NY, we utilized synthetic grass for the flooring and closed it off with 4 ft tall black aluminum fencing. The installation was done on four inches of gravel base to allow drainage to sink into the ground when washing it. This eliminates the smell by letting the underneath of the grass stay dry. A layer of blue stone screening and landscape fabric was also installed under the turf to smooth the surface for the grass to stay flat and the fabric to prevent weeds from growing through the turf.
