Sandblasted Marble Pavers with Synthetic Turf in East Quogue NY. Marble’s unrivaled beauty and elegance may be its most significant benefit as a paver. Gappsi installed synthetic turf strips to border the sandblasted marble tiles installed around this gunite pool in East Quogue NY. The sandblasted finish is highly slip-resistant and perfect for wet slippery areas like the pool deck and surrounding areas. Sandblasted marble pavers are extremely durable and can withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor use in any climate. These pavers are also easy to clean and maintain and come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors to fit any design. Gappsi’s natural stone collection of marble pavers will give your outdoor space a timeless and elegant look that you and your guests will enjoy for years to come.
Synthetic Turf and Silica Sand Infill
In our recent application using sandblasted marble pavers with synthetic turf, Gappsi used a recycled concrete base between the marble paver tiles, and synthetic turf nailed to the base. We used green infill on the synthetic turf. Green silica sand infill elevates your synthetic turf performance with premium material for enhanced durability.
Turf infill is those tiny bits of material sprinkling between the artificial grass blades. For example, if the edges are similar to blades of grass, then infill is the dirt for the turf. Adding silica sand infill helps your faux grass blades stand up and keep their real look in high-traffic areas. The silica sand infill also gives you the feel of walking on real grass by emulating the impact absorption qualities of soil. It helps weigh down the imitation turf and helps keep the artificial grass from getting wrinkles or ripples caused by movement. Microban is an antimicrobial product that helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew. It’s non-toxic, so it’s also safe for kids and pets.
Synthetic Turf Low Maintenance Design
Artificial turf can save money, requires minimal repairs, and requires no watering, mowing, fertilizing, or weed prevention. Synthetic turf strips between pavers are a growing trend that can enhance your outdoor living area immediately. Turf strips between pavers or slabs add a more inviting feel to landscaping by adding design elements that are easy to maintain and care for. It’s an aesthetically pleasing natural lawn alternative and looks great year-round without the need for watering or maintenance.
Elevate Your Yard with Synthetic Turf
Synthetic turf can accentuate your patio, deck, or pool with other design elements. However, it is not just for gardens or backyards. With different textures and colors, synthetic grass can be used to enhance nearly any space. It can be cut into strips or given curved edges to fit your existing landscape design.
To make a patio space with pavers, the artificial grass needs to be cut around the spacing of the concrete pavers or slabs. Alternatively, artificial grass can be cut into strips and installed between the spaces. Depending on the homeowner’s preference, the strips or sections can be completely flush with the slab tops or raised to provide a fluffy overspill.
It’s also a great choice because it is environmentally friendly, safe for the whole family, easy to care for, and non-slip. Because of its great aesthetics and functional capabilities, there’s also a lot of versatility in how and where you can lay it.

Porcelain Tile Accents For Your Pools Waterline
The most favorable time to begin your backyard renovations runs from late spring to early fall, in most areas.
We installed an L-shaped outdoor kitchen with travertine silver color four-inch high random length stone veneers. On the countertop, we used polished granite including a raised bar area for additional seating. To complete the outdoor kitchen we installed a Twin Eagles bar sink, a Summit refrigerator, all Twin Eagles stainless steel cabinets, and a Delta Grill including a side burner.

I highly recommend Gappsi! Giuseppe designed our entire backyard and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I love the automatic cover for our pool and our synthetic turf grass. Anytime we have anyone come over, they always compliment our marble stone patio and retaining wall. Giuseppe was great to work with and would answer all of our questions so quickly – there was always an open line of communication throughout our backyard renovation. Looking forward to creating many memories in our new backyard thanks to Gappsi!
Choosing the right paver and base material is important when considering your outdoor project. Key factors are water drainage, durability, and how thick you need the subgrade material to be. Sand is one of the most common materials used as a paver base. It’s very accessible and can be spread out to fit most projects.
