Gappsi recently installed a marble patio and outdoor kitchen installation in Peconic, NY, elevating the client’s outdoor living experience.  In the charming town of Peconic, NY, nestled within the scenic beauty of Long Island’s North Fork, Gappsi recently completed a stunning outdoor transformation.  It perfectly combines elegance, functionality, and natural aesthetics. This project showcases the best in modern landscape design and outdoor construction.  From the premium marble pool coping and a luxurious patio, to custom-built planter boxes and a fully-equipped gourmet outdoor kitchen. It reflects our commitment to using top-tier materials and craftsmanship.  It enhances how our clients live and relax in their outdoor spaces.

A Harmonious Blend of Form and Function

This property already featured a pool, but the surrounding area needed a refresh to bring out its full potential. The client envisioned an outdoor environment that was both beautiful and purposeful.  It is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and even growing fresh produce. With that vision in mind, the Gappsi team developed a comprehensive design that met and exceeded those expectations.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-nyMarble Patio and Pool Coping: Sophistication in Every Detail

The first primary focus of the renovation was upgrading the poolside experience. We installed G043 marble pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection around the pool.  They provide a cool, elegant surface ideal for bare feet on warm summer days. These premium pavers were finished with a sandblasted gray marble texture.  This offers the perfect combination of slip resistance, durability, and timeless style.

For the pool coping, the edge finish surrounding the pool’s perimeter, we used matching marble to ensure a seamless, cohesive aesthetic. The marble’s refined texture and subtle color variations create a clean, modern look while harmonizing with the natural landscape of the surrounding yard.

Nicolock Firma Wall Planter Boxes: A Garden with Purpose

While aesthetics are important, we also believe that every element of an outdoor space should serve a purpose. In this case, the client requested planter boxes designed explicitly for a vegetable garden, a practical and rewarding addition to any backyard.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-ny2We constructed these raised garden beds using Nicolock Firma wall blocks, known for their strength, contemporary look, and versatile design options. The neutral tones and smooth texture of the Firma wall blocks complement the gray marble patio beautifully while providing an optimal environment for cultivating vegetables and herbs. It’s a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern design that supports sustainable living and farm-to-table eating.

A Culinary Paradise: The Outdoor Kitchen

Arguably, the crown jewel of this project is the massive custom outdoor kitchen, a fully functional culinary space that rivals any indoor setup. Designed for cooking enthusiasts and entertainers alike, the kitchen was constructed with practicality and luxury in mind.

The structure itself was veneered with quartz stone, chosen for its durability and upscale appearance. Quartz’s natural veining and consistent color patterns provide a polished finish that contrasts beautifully against the soft tones of the marble patio and garden walls.

elevating-outdoor-living-marble-patio-and-outdoor-kitchen-installation-in-peconic-ny1Inside, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. The appliances are all Fire Magic, a top-tier brand synonymous with premium outdoor grilling and kitchen equipment. The kitchen includes:

  • A large Fire Magic grill, ideal for high-capacity grilling and searing
  • A Fire Magic sink for convenient prep and cleanup
  • A trash drawer integrated into the cabinetry for easy waste disposal
  • A Primo smoker for low-and-slow barbecue perfection
  • A spacious refrigerator to keep beverages and ingredients cold
  • A bar sink for washing up or cocktail prep
  • Ample storage cabinets to house cooking tools, utensils, and outdoor essentials
  • A gas oven for baking and roasting outdoors, year-round

Together, these components create a versatile and luxurious kitchen space that enables the homeowner to host everything from casual cookouts to gourmet outdoor dinners without ever needing to go inside.

Bringing It All Together: A Seamless Experience

The final result of this project is more than just a collection of features.  It is a unified outdoor living space that enhances the homeowner’s lifestyle. Whether harvesting fresh vegetables from their garden, lounging by the pool, or preparing a feast in their new kitchen, every part of the environment is designed to flow effortlessly into the next.

Consistent use of premium materials such as marble, quartz, and Nicolock Firma wall blocks ensures that each element works aesthetically and functionally harmoniously. The thoughtful layout maximizes space without feeling crowded, and the blend of natural and modern materials reflects Peconic’s tranquil yet refined character.

Luxury Backyard Transformation in Belle Terre NY | Custom Pools, Fire Pits, & Outdoor Living

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Luxury Backyard Transformation in Belle Terre, NY | Custom Pools, Fire Pits, and Outdoor Living by Gappsi

Ideally, every element must come together when creating the ultimate luxury backyard transformation oasis. It must offer functionality and aesthetic beauty. Gappsi, a leader in luxury outdoor installations, recently completed an extraordinary project in Belle Terre, NY, showcasing the best design, craftsmanship, and quality materials. From stunning stonework to custom-built features, this backyard installation is a testament to the company’s expertise in turning outdoor spaces into extraordinary retreats.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi5The Vision and Inspiration Behind this Luxury Backyard Transformation

The property sits perched above the serene Port Jefferson Harbor, offering breathtaking views that serve as the perfect backdrop for any outdoor living space. This backyard installation aimed to complement the landscape’s natural beauty while introducing high-end elements that elevate the space’s functionality and aesthetics. The homeowners were looking for luxurious, practical features to entertain guests, create peaceful relaxation zones, and have a space for their favorite hobbies while maintaining a strong connection with the surrounding natural beauty.

The design used natural stone, custom pool features, and modern outdoor living elements that blend seamlessly with the property’s expansive views. The finished result is nothing short of spectacular.

The Patios and Hardscaping

One key feature of this luxury backyard transformation is the extensive use of G041 pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. These pavers were carefully selected to cover the backyard patios, creating a sophisticated, durable surface that perfectly balances beauty and functionality. Natural stone has a timeless quality that brings texture, warmth, and an organic feel to the space. It blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape and provides a firm, durable surface that can withstand the elements while remaining visually striking.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi3The patios were strategically designed to provide ample seating and lounging areas, making them ideal for social gatherings and family relaxation. Whether enjoying a sunny afternoon or hosting an evening gathering, the pavers create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to stay and unwind.

Veneers that add Elegance and Depth

Gappsi incorporated blue marble tumbled veneers for the bottom portion of the house, the fire pit, and the chimney to elevate the design further. The choice of blue marble adds a unique touch of sophistication, offering rich tones that contrast beautifully with the surrounding natural stone elements. The smooth, tumbled finish of the marble provides a relaxed, yet refined look that enhances the structure’s visual appeal.

Additionally, all retaining walls on the property were veneered with the same luxurious blue marble, maintaining consistency throughout the design and creating a cohesive aesthetic. The marble walls add elegance and serve as structural elements that keep the landscape intact, preventing erosion and providing necessary support.

The column piers that form the pavilion’s structure were also veneered with blue marble, further enhancing the design’s sophistication. These column piers create a sense of depth and architectural interest, while their polished surfaces reflect light, creating beautiful visual effects during the day and evening.

Water Features: A Soothing Addition

One of the most impressive features of this Belle Terre luxury backyard transformation is the custom-designed water feature behind the spa. The back wall behind the spa is crafted to incorporate a beautiful water feature veneered with elegant glass tiles. The shimmering glass tiles catch the light and create a peaceful, relaxing ambiance as water cascades down the wall, providing both visual and auditory serenity.

Water features are an excellent addition to any backyard design, and this one offers a calming atmosphere, whether enjoyed from the spa or one of the nearby seating areas. It adds a luxurious touch and is a stunning focal point in the backyard, drawing attention without overwhelming the space’s other features.

The Custom Pool: A Showstopper

No luxury backyard transformation is complete without a pool, and this installation features a custom-designed pool that perfectly complements the overall design. The pool is custom-shaped to fit the unique contours of the space, offering a one-of-a-kind look that is both functional and stunning.

A standout feature of the pool is the negative edge design, which creates the illusion of the water disappearing into the horizon. This design draws the eye toward the stunning views of the Port Jefferson Harbor and provides a dramatic, luxurious focal point for the backyard.

In addition to the negative edge, the pool also features a sunken bar area with stools inside the pool, offering a fun and interactive element perfect for entertaining. The sunken bar area is ideal for lounging and enjoying cocktails while staying cool in the pool’s refreshing waters. Furthermore, the pool design includes a spacious sundeck where individuals can comfortably relax and soak up the sun. These thoughtful features create a perfect balance of leisure and entertainment, ensuring that this pool will be enjoyed by family and friends alike for years to come.

luxury-backyard-transformation-in-belle-terre-ny---custom-pools-fire-pits-and-outdoor-living-by-gappsi1The Gas Fire Pit Area

One of the standout elements of the luxury backyard transformation design is the gas fire pit at the edge of the property. This fire pit offers warmth and ambiance, making it a perfect spot to gather during chilly evenings. The fire pit is surrounded by a low wall that serves as a sitting wall and a protective barrier, offering comfort and safety.

The fire pit’s placement at the edge of the property allows for spectacular views of the harbor while creating a cozy, intimate space for conversation and relaxation. The warm glow of the fire provides a soothing atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the evening air and stargazing.

Backyard and Swimming Pool Design in Holbrook, NY: A Transformative Outdoor Experience by Gappsi

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Backyard and Swimming Pool Design in Holbrook, NY: A Transformative Outdoor Experience by Gappsi

When creating the perfect backyard and swimming pool design oasis, Gappsi is a leading name in pool design and installation.  We know exactly how to turn a dream into a reality. This latest project in Holbrook, NY, showcases how thoughtful planning, exceptional craftsmanship, and high-quality materials can combine to create an exquisite outdoor living space. The backyard was reimagined to fit a beautiful 16×32 vinyl pool with concrete walls, marble paver patios, and lush landscaping. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space or completely transform it, this project offers a great example of the endless possibilities in backyard design.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsiTransforming the Backyard: A Complete Makeover

The design process began with a complete transformation of the backyard. The entire area was lowered to make space for the pool, providing a fresh and inviting landscape. By adjusting the terrain and giving it a more open and spacious feel, the space was redefined to accommodate the new pool better and complement the rest of the features. Considering the available space, sun exposure, and overall aesthetic, a detailed design plan allowed for a smooth and effective installation process.

Installing the Perfect Pool: A 16×32 Vinyl Pool with Concrete Walls

A key highlight of this backyard and swimming pool design is the 16×32 vinyl pool.  It was carefully chosen for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. The pool features sturdy concrete walls with enhanced structural integrity, making it ideal for long-lasting enjoyment. With a depth ranging from 43 inches to 66 inches, the pool is perfect for various swimming activities, from casual lounging to more serious exercise and fun. The versatile design allows for shallow and deep areas, accommodating swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

A key feature that makes this pool truly special is the built-in autocover. The autocover helps maintain the pool’s cleanliness by keeping debris out and helps regulate the water temperature. While the autocover has been an excellent asset for the pool, it also led to interesting feedback from the homeowners. The clients mentioned that the pool was getting too hot, and this is because the auto cover retains heat.  Creating a warm and inviting water temperature for those warm summer days. It’s a perfect solution for those who love to enjoy the pool on a whim without waiting for the water to warm up.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsi1Stylish Patio and Pool Coping: Marble Pavers from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection

The elegance of this backyard design extends beyond the pool itself. The patio surrounding the pool was crafted using exquisite marble pavers handpicked from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. These high-quality pavers add a sophisticated touch to the outdoor space, offering a sleek and timeless look. Marble is known for its durability and beauty, and it was the perfect choice to complement the pool and the overall aesthetic of the backyard. Not only do the marble pavers add luxury, but they also provide a non-slip surface, ensuring safety around the pool area.

The pool coping, which frames the edge, was made with marble pavers. This choice of material ties the entire pool area together, giving it a cohesive and polished look. Whether you’re walking around the pool or sitting by the edge, the marble coping provides both function and style, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the space.

Landscaping and Planting: A Lush and Inviting Atmosphere

The landscaping around the pool and patio was revamped to provide a vibrant, welcoming environment. New flowers and plants were carefully selected to add color and texture to the space. Incorporating various plant types makes the landscape feel dynamic and alive, offering an ever-changing display of nature throughout the seasons. The choice of plants was made with the local climate in mind, ensuring they would thrive and require minimal maintenance.

In addition to adding beauty, the plants were strategically placed to offer privacy and seclusion from neighboring properties. This is especially important for clients who want to enjoy their backyard retreat without feeling exposed. The lush landscaping makes the backyard feel like a private paradise, ideal for relaxing with family and friends.

Stadium Stairs for Easy Access

Another notable feature of this pool installation is the stadium stairs installed in the pool’s shallow end. The stairs provide an easy and elegant entry into the water, especially for those who prefer a gradual descent. The stadium design allows for multiple levels of seating, making it perfect for lounging in the pool or enjoying a social gathering. These stairs also offer extra functionality, making it easier for children and elderly family members to safely enter and exit the pool.

Client Satisfaction: A Pool They Love

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project is the client’s satisfaction. They love their new pool and backyard space, and it’s clear that this design has exceeded their expectations. From the aesthetic appeal to the functionality, every aspect of the project was tailored to their needs and preferences.

backyard-and-swimming-pool-design-in-holbrook-ny-a-transformative-outdoor-experience-by-gappsi2The client feedback regarding the autocover’s impact on the pool temperature is a testament to the effectiveness of the design. The autocover helps retain heat, making the pool water warm and comfortable.

It’s always great to receive client feedback, as it helps refine future designs and installations.

The Installation of a Marble Paver Driveway in Belle Terre, NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of the Installation of a Marble Paver Driveway in Belle Terre, NY

At Gappsi, we take pride in creating stunning and durable marble paver driveways that enhance a home’s aesthetic appeal and stand the test of time. One of our most recent projects was the installation of a breathtaking natural stone driveway in Belle Terre, NY. This elegant home, which overlooks Port Jefferson Harbor, now boasts a unique old marble paver driveway that complements its architectural grandeur.

Marble pavers offer a durable, elegant, and low-maintenance driveway option. They can withstand heavy traffic and weather conditions while adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to any property.

the-installation-of-a-marble-paver-driveway-in-belle-terre-ny3Marble Paver Benefits:

  • Durability and Longevity: Marble is a naturally strong, durable stone that withstands heavy foot traffic and vehicular loads.
  • Weather Resistance: Marble pavers are highly resistant to weather elements, including UV rays, temperature variations, and moisture, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Marble offers a luxurious and sophisticated look, enhancing the curb appeal of any property.
  • Low Maintenance: Marble pavers are relatively easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep.
  • Versatility: Marble is available in various colors, patterns, and finishes, allowing for different design options.
  • Heat Resistance: Marble naturally reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, keeping the surface more remarkable than other materials during hot weather.
  • Natural and Sustainable: Marble is a natural, sustainable material, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
  • Resistant to Stains: Marble is naturally resistant to moisture and stains, so your driveway is less likely to get marred with oil or other spills.
  • Long Lifespan: Marble pavers can last many years with proper installation and maintenance.

the-installation-of-a-marble-paver-driveway-in-belle-terre-nyThe Design and Material Selection – Marble Paver Driveway

For this project, we carefully selected a combination of materials to achieve a timeless, European-inspired look. The area by the house features a multi-size paver layout, adding depth and texture. Moving up the hill, we used tumbled G032 limestone pavers from the Gappsi stone collection. These pavers were chosen for their ability to resemble Belgian block, providing a classic yet rustic aesthetic without the use of cement joints in between.

The choice of tumbled G032 limestone pavers was crucial for this driveway, as they offer a perfect balance of durability and charm. The stones’ slightly worn, antique look gives the impression of an old-world cobblestone path, enhancing the property’s curb appeal while ensuring a strong and stable vehicle surface.

Driveway Drainage System and Functionality

Aesthetics are crucial, but functionality is just as necessary. Given the sloped nature of the driveway, we installed a carefully planned drainage system to manage water runoff effectively. Drains were strategically placed along the driveway to collect and redirect water, preventing erosion and ensuring the longevity of the installation. This protects the driveway and safeguards the surrounding landscape and foundation of the home.

Enhancing the Entrance with a Double Border and Gate Columns

To tie the entire design together, we introduced a double border that mirrors the pavers used near the house. This detail creates a seamless transition and adds a refined touch to the driveway’s overall look. The borders help define the space while emphasizing the natural stone’s unique pattern and color variations.

Further elevating the entrance, we constructed two stone columns that frame the driveway gate. These columns were veneered with marble pavers that perfectly match the ones used near the house, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance. These columns not only enhance the grandeur of the entrance but also provide a solid foundation for the gate, ensuring both security and style.

Final Touches and Lasting Impressions

As we wrap up this project, we give the driveway one final cleaning, ensuring every stone the-installation-of-a-marble-paver-driveway-in-belle-terre-ny4shines and the homeowner can fully appreciate the beauty of their new investment. This driveway is not just a path to the home—it is a statement piece, a welcoming feature that enhances the charm and value of the property.

At Gappsi, we believe that a driveway should be more than just a functional necessity; it should be an artistic expression of the home it leads to. This latest natural stone driveway installation in Belle Terre, NY, is a testament to our commitment to quality craftsmanship, superior materials, and timeless design.

If you are considering transforming your driveway with marble, limestone, or another natural stone from our extensive collection, we invite you to explore the possibilities with Gappsi. Let us help you create a driveway that is as beautiful as it is durable, seamlessly blending with your home’s unique character and charm.

Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of the Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack, NY

View our latest traditional pavilion with Passion Spa, built on the unused sloped backyard of this home in Commack, New York.

Unused sloped backyard areas can be transformed into usable spaces by incorporating terraced gardens, retaining walls, rock gardens, or even dedicated planting zones that utilize the slope for varied plant life. This will manage potential erosion issues and create distinct levels within the yard, turning a challenging slope into a visually appealing and functional outdoor space.

This recent project, designed and built by Gappsi in Commack, N.Y., involved using the unused sloped backyard area and making it very useful.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny4Considerations when designing for a sloped backyard:

  • Slope Severity:  The degree of slope will determine the type of structures needed, with steeper slopes requiring more substantial retaining walls.
  • Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and erosion, especially in areas with heavy rainfall.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Consider how the slope affects sunlight exposure when choosing plants for different areas.

We built a multi-level retaining wall using the Nicolock Granite City Firma wall. The first level creates a flat area for the 18×36 traditional pavilion with the Roman pattern G045 natural blue-gray limestone patio floor from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.

Gappsi built the traditional pavilion with Passion Spa. Adding a conventional pavilion to your backyard provides a dedicated, covered outdoor space that protects you from the elements while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your yard. It allows for comfortable outdoor living, entertaining guests, and potentially increasing your home’s value. It creates a functional and stylish area to relax and enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny

Key benefits of a backyard traditional pavilion:

  1. Shelter from weather: Protects from sun, rain, and wind, allowing you to use your outdoor space even during inclement weather.
  2. Elevated aesthetic: Adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your backyard design.
  3. Multipurpose space: This can be used for dining, lounging, gathering with guests, or even a casual outdoor living room.
  4. Increased outdoor living: Encourages more time spent outdoors by offering a comfortable, protected area.
  5. Potential home value increase: A well-designed pavilion can add to the perceived value of your property.
  6. Customization options: Can be designed and built to match your style and needs, including size, materials, and features.

Second and Third Level Retaining Walls

A second retaining wall was built to retain the slope and the ground behind it.  Tiered retaining walls comprise two or more walls, each higher wall set back horizontally from the underlying wall. When appropriately designed, they retain soil and support loads, deliver an attractive appearance, and provide room for plantings.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny13 Hole Putting Green

Our team installed and built a three-hole putting green on the patio.  A 3-hole putting green in your backyard offers several benefits, including improved golf skills through dedicated practice space, low maintenance with artificial turf, increased property value, fun for family and friends, mental stimulation through strategic putting, and the ability to customize the difficulty level of each hole; allowing you to focus on specific aspects of your putting game depending on the design of each hole.

With a 3-hole design, you can create diverse putting challenges by varying the length, slope, and green contours on each hole to target specific putting weaknesses.

Important considerations:

  1. Space Requirements: Ensure you have enough yard space to accommodate a 3-hole putting green with appropriate distances and design elements.
  2. Installation Costs: Factor in the cost of materials, installation, and potential landscaping needed for your putting green.
  3. Maintenance Routine: While low maintenance, artificial turf requires occasional brushing and cleaning to maintain optimal putting conditions.

traditional-pavilion-with-passion-spa-built-in-commack-ny2Passion Spa – Gappsi is an Authorized Dealer for Passion Spas

Under the traditional Pavillion, we installed a Passion spa.  A Passion Spa in your backyard offers numerous benefits, including stress relief, pain management, improved sleep, enhanced muscle relaxation, increased blood circulation, social interaction, boosted mood, potential for light exercise through swim features, and a luxurious outdoor retreat thanks to its designed massage jets and water purification system, all while providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing addition to your outdoor space; essentially creating a personal oasis for relaxation and wellness at home.

Custom Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Designed and Built By Gappsi

The 18 x 36 pavilion was built with a bare wood ceiling stained mahogany.  An audio system and electrical heating system were also installed so that people could enjoy year-round entertainment.  Behind the TV wall, we created an area with a door in the back for additional storage.  The wall was veneered with silver travertine tumbled, and the TV was hung on the wall.

Steps on both sides of the patio access the pavilion area, also used as a ping-pong area. This is the latest masonry-designed sports court and pavilion incorporated into an entire abandoned area. It became the most helpful part of the backyard. It is the newest project built by Gappsi in Commack, NY.
