A backyard renovation is more than a construction project.  It is a complete transformation of how a home is experienced and enjoyed. View our recently completed gunite pool and backyard renovation in Upper Brookville, NY.  It is a prime example of how thoughtful design, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship can turn an outdated outdoor space into a cohesive luxury retreat. This project represents the latest backyard renovation completed by Gappsi.  It showcases the level of detail and customization that defines our work.

Starting Fresh: Removing the Old Patio

The renovation began with a clean slate. The existing backyard featured an old clay brick patio that had reached the end of its functional and aesthetic lifespan. To ensure a long-lasting and visually unified result, the entire patio area was removed. This enabled proper base preparation and allowed us to redesign the layout to suit better the homeowner’s lifestyle and the property’s scale.

By stripping the space down to its foundation, we were able to reimagine the backyard.  It is a valid extension of the home, seamlessly blending entertainment, relaxation, and architectural elegance.

Expansive Marble Patio with G040 Pavers

One of the most striking elements of this renovation is the expansive patio paved entirely with G040 marble pavers. This is a large-scale patio, and the choice of G040 marble was intentional. Known for its durability, refined texture, and light, elegant tone, G040 marble provides a timeless look while remaining cool underfoot, an essential feature for poolside areas.

The consistent use of G040 marble across the central pool patio creates a clean, uninterrupted visual flow.  It enhances the sense of openness in the yard. Precision installation ensured uniform joints and proper drainage, both critical to longevity and performance.

In addition to the central patio, we constructed a new stoop at the backyard sliding door. This transition point was designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding marble pavers, enhancing accessibility and visual continuity between the home and the outdoor living space.

Complete Gunite Pool Renovation

The existing gunite pool underwent a full renovation, beginning with a complete plumbing overhaul. All new pool equipment was installed to improve efficiency, performance, and reliability. Updating the plumbing and equipment ensures the pool operates at modern standards while reducing maintenance concerns for the homeowner.

Visually, the pool received a significant upgrade as well. New porcelain tiles were installed along the waterline, providing a crisp, clean contrast against the water’s surface. Porcelain was selected for its durability, resistance to staining, and refined appearance.

The pool coping was replaced with new marble coping, tying the pool seamlessly into the surrounding G040 marble patio. This creates a unified look that feels intentional and polished from every angle.

To complete the pool renovation, the interior was refinished with Diamond Brite Super Blue. This finish enhances water clarity and color, giving the pool a vibrant, inviting appearance. Tile markers were also installed on the pool steps, adding both a safety feature and a subtle design detail that improves visibility.

Pavilion Patio with Distinct Marble Transition

One of the standout design choices in this project is the transition from the pool patio to the pavilion patio. Rather than continuing the same stone throughout, we introduced a completely different marble color, G034 marble, to define the pavilion area as its own destination within the backyard.

This thoughtful change in material creates visual interest while still maintaining harmony with the overall design. The transition between G040 and G034 marble was carefully executed to ensure a smooth, elegant shift that feels natural rather than abrupt.

Custom 16×36 Country Lane Pavilion

Anchoring the pavilion patio is a custom-built 16×36 Country Lane Pavilion featuring substantial 8-inch columns. The pavilion serves as a focal point of the backyard and provides a shaded, weather-protected area for entertaining and dining.

Inside, the pavilion was left in bare wood, stained a rich mahogany color. This finish adds warmth and contrast to the surrounding stone, complementing the natural materials used throughout the space. The exposed wood ceiling enhances the pavilion’s architectural presence while maintaining a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

Outdoor Kitchen and Cooking Island

Designed for serious outdoor entertaining, the custom cooking island is both functional and visually striking. The countertop is finished in black leather-finished granite, offering a textured, matte surface that resists fingerprints and glare while delivering a bold, modern look.

The base of the island is clad in a 4-inch silver travertine veneer, adding depth and natural variation that complements the marble patios. The kitchen is fully outfitted with premium Twin Eagles appliances and an Alpha oven, making it suitable for everything from casual family meals to large gatherings.

This outdoor kitchen transforms the pavilion into a true culinary hub, allowing homeowners to cook, serve, and entertain without ever leaving the backyard.

Fire Pit and Seating Wall

To complete the outdoor living experience, we constructed a custom fire pit featuring a Breeo smokeless insert. Known for its efficient burn and reduced smoke output, the Breeo fire pit enhances comfort and usability, even during extended gatherings.

Surrounding the fire pit is a built-in seating wall, designed to encourage conversation and provide ample seating without cluttering the space. This area serves as a natural gathering point, perfect for evenings spent outdoors in any season.

A Complete Backyard Transformation

This gunite pool and backyard renovation in Upper Brookville, NY, is a testament to what is possible when design, materials, and craftsmanship come together seamlessly. From the expansive marble patios and fully renovated pool to the custom pavilion, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit, every detail was thoughtfully planned and expertly executed.

This is the latest backyard renovation completed by Gappsi in Upper Brookville.  This project reflects our commitment to creating outdoor environments that are not only beautiful but also functional, durable, and tailored to how our clients live and entertain. The result is a backyard that feels cohesive, luxurious, and built to be enjoyed for years to come.

Vinyl Swimming Pool Remodeling in Dix Hills NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Vinyl-Swimming-Pool-Remodeling-in-Dix-Hills-NY1 Over time, liners can fade in color and develop tears, that is when you need to think about a vinyl swimming pool remodel. Old equipment like heaters and pumps may need to be replaced or upgraded. Every homeowner knows that the best way to add new life, beauty, and value to their homes is a renovation or remodeling project. New siding and windows, a room addition, or other projects can make an existing home fresh and new again. The same thing is true of in-ground swimming pools. Gappsi is a full-service pool company located in Smithtown NY, we know that as pools age or their surroundings change, it’s natural for owners to want a fresh new look for their pools and backyards. We can renovate or remodel your existing pool at a fraction of the cost of replacing it while renewing its beauty, adding new features, and bringing new life to your outdoor recreation.

At Gappsi, we offer many types of remodeling and renovation projects for vinyl in-ground pools. We give your pool a great new look and give you new pride in your backyard recreation area.  Add new features at the same time and you’ll get a fresh, exciting new look.

Let us show you the latest in vinyl liner choices!

The most durable pool liners are typically thicker gauge vinyl, with 25 gauge being a common choice. Liners with double-welded seams also tend to be more durable. Additionally, liners treated with UV inhibitors can resist damage from the sun’s rays and last longer.

Liner Color and Pattern Options How to Choose

In vinyl pools, the color of the liner is one piece that dictates the overall color of the water and the aesthetic of the entire pool area. Liner colors come in so many patterns and hues that range from light aqua to bright blue to modern and moody and everything in between. Even with the same liner, the color looks different depending on the amount of clouds or sunlight, the depth of the water, the surrounding environment, and the time of day.  The best part about vinyl inground pool liners is that you have virtually an endless array of options in patterns, colors, shapes, and sizes. Beyond that, you’ll also have to factor in elements about your outdoor environment and pool usage. Let’s take a closer look at how you can make your pool match your life.

Vinyl-Swimming-Pool-Remodeling-in-Dix-Hills-NYVinyl Liner Swimming Pool Color

You may think that choosing a liner color is about personal taste, but there’s more to it. Dark liners can help absorb heat and warm up the water. They can also hide dirt and debris if you’re not keeping up with cleaning. But the darker the liner, the more likely it will be susceptible to bleaching by the sun and chlorine, and aging due to UV damage. Lighter liners may last longer because of less bleaching and UV damage. But you’ll have to stay on top of cleaning because dirt will show easily.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Pattern

Liners will likely have two different patterns: a border pattern above the water and another below the water. Of course, you also have the option of choosing one solid color throughout. From tile, pebble, and slate patterns to wavy, swirling, or abstract designs, you can truly customize your look.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Life Expectancy

A pool liner’s life expectancy is determined by how well you maintain your chemical balance, exposure to UV rays, freeze/thaw cycles, and whether you use a pool cover. Using a cover greatly reduces the amount of UV exposure vinyl inground pool liners receive. The location of your house and tree coverage can also affect the exposure. With appropriate care, most liners can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Thickness

When browsing pool liner options, thickness should also be a consideration. A thicker liner is more durable, puncture-resistant, and less likely to leak over time, however, it can be more difficult to install due to its rigidity.
