When an older swimming pool begins leaking, homeowners don’t always need to replace the entire pool. In many cases, a carefully planned renovation can restore the pool, address the underlying problems, and give the backyard a completely refreshed appearance. That was Gappsi’s approach for this recent gunite swimming pool renovation in Kings Park, NY, where a custom vinyl pool liner was installed to fit the unique shape and contours of the existing pool.

This project presented an interesting challenge because the original gunite pool shell had developed a leaking problem. Rather than replacing the entire swimming pool, Gappsi developed a custom solution using a heavy-duty vinyl liner specifically fabricated for the existing pool shape.

The finished project looked beautiful, giving the homeowners a renewed pool interior and a practical solution to the leaking shell.

Renovating a Leaking Gunite Pool

Gunite pools are known for their strength, durability, and ability to be constructed in virtually any shape. Because the concrete shell is built specifically for the property, gunite pools can incorporate unique curves, radii, steps, benches, varying depths, and other custom features. Gappsi regularly works with existing gunite pools as part of renovation and remodeling projects throughout Long Island. (Gappsi Group)

However, even a durable gunite pool can eventually develop problems. Cracks, deterioration, plumbing issues, water loss, or other structural concerns may require renovation.

In this Kings Park project, the existing gunite shell had a leak. The solution was to create a custom vinyl liner that could be installed within the existing pool structure.

Rather than treating the pool as a standard vinyl liner installation, this project required careful attention to the gunite pool’s existing shape.

A Custom Vinyl Liner Designed for the Pool

One of the most important aspects of this renovation was custom-cutting the liner to fit the existing pool shape.

A gunite swimming pool can have rounded areas and unique radius transitions that are different from the more standardized geometry commonly associated with some vinyl pool construction. That means measuring and fabricating a liner for an existing gunite pool requires precision.

For this Kings Park swimming pool, the liner was custom-manufactured to accommodate the radii and contours of the pool floor. The objective was to create a liner that followed the existing shape as closely as possible while providing a new waterproof interior surface.

Custom fabrication was especially important because this was not simply a matter of installing a standard-size liner. The existing pool had its own dimensions and curves, and the new liner needed to be produced specifically for those characteristics.

Gappsi has experience with custom vinyl pool installations and gunite-to-vinyl renovation projects, including projects where existing gunite structures are modified to accommodate custom liners. (Gappsi Group)

Heavy-Duty 40 Mil Vinyl Liner

For this renovation, Gappsi installed a particularly thick vinyl liner specified at approximately 40 mil.

Liner thickness is an important consideration when renovating a swimming pool. A thicker vinyl liner can provide greater durability and resistance to everyday wear than thinner materials. Gappsi’s pool renovation information also notes that thicker liners can offer greater durability and puncture resistance, although thicker material can be more challenging to install because of its rigidity. (Gappsi Group)

The heavy-duty material selected for this Kings Park project was intended to provide a long-lasting pool surface while also addressing the home’s existing pool leakage issue.

According to the project specifications, this liner carries a 35-year guarantee, giving the homeowners additional confidence in the long-term performance of their renovated pool surface. As with any manufacturer warranty or guarantee, review the specific terms and conditions with the pool contractor and liner manufacturer.

Why Consider a Vinyl Liner for a Gunite Pool?

Many homeowners assume that if a gunite pool develops a serious problem, the only option is to rebuild the pool. That is not necessarily the case.

Depending on the condition of the existing structure and the nature of the problem, a renovation may offer an alternative to a full pool replacement. A custom vinyl liner can transform the interior of an existing pool while potentially avoiding the extensive demolition and reconstruction associated with building an entirely new swimming pool.

This can be particularly valuable when the homeowner likes the existing size and layout of the pool but needs a solution for an aging or leaking interior.

Gappsi has previously completed gunite-to-vinyl conversions where remodeling the existing pool provided an alternative to completely replacing the structure. (Gappsi Group)

Every pool is different, however. Before deciding whether a custom liner renovation is appropriate, evaluate the condition of the existing shell, the pool shape, plumbing, coping, steps, surrounding patio, and other components.

Custom Pool Renovation in Kings Park, NY

One advantage of working with an experienced pool renovation contractor is the ability to develop a solution around the existing property rather than forcing the project into a standard design.

The Kings Park pool renovation is a good example.

The existing gunite pool had a unique shape and a leaking problem. Instead of abandoning the pool or automatically removing the entire structure, the renovation focused on creating a custom-fitted vinyl interior.

The liner was manufactured to accommodate the pool’s specific dimensions and the radii along the bottom. The heavy-duty vinyl material provided a fresh, attractive surface while giving the homeowners a practical way to continue enjoying their existing swimming pool.

The completed installation looked great and gave the pool a renewed appearance.

Extending the Life of an Existing Swimming Pool

A swimming pool is a significant investment in a home and backyard. When problems develop, homeowners should consider all available renovation options before deciding that complete replacement is necessary.

A professional evaluation can help determine whether the pool can be repaired, resurfaced, remodeled, converted, or renovated with a custom liner.

For some homeowners, a custom vinyl liner may be an excellent solution for an aging gunite pool, particularly when the existing pool shape and overall layout are worth preserving.

The right liner can also provide a comfortable, smooth swimming surface while offering homeowners numerous options for colors and patterns. Gappsi works with homeowners on vinyl liner pool renovations and other pool remodeling solutions throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. (Gappsi Group)

Gappsi’s Latest Gunite Pool Renovation in Kings Park

This custom vinyl pool liner installation in Kings Park, NY, demonstrates how an existing gunite swimming pool can be given new life through thoughtful renovation.

The leaking gunite pool was fitted with a custom-made, heavy-duty vinyl liner designed specifically around the pool’s unique shape and bottom radii. With approximately 40 mil thickness and a project-specified 35-year guarantee, the new liner provides a substantial upgrade to the pool interior.

Most importantly, the finished pool looks great and gives the homeowners a renewed swimming environment without requiring the entire pool to be replaced.

If your Long Island swimming pool is showing signs of age, losing water, or needs a new interior surface, a professional pool renovation may offer a practical alternative to a full replacement. Gappsi designs and renovates gunite, vinyl liner, and fiberglass swimming pools throughout Long Island, with custom solutions tailored to each property and homeowner. (Gappsi Group)

For homeowners considering a gunite pool renovation in Kings Park, NY, a custom vinyl liner may be worth exploring. The first step is to evaluate the existing pool and determine whether its structure can be successfully renovated to accommodate a new liner.

Gappsi can help homeowners explore their options and develop a pool renovation plan designed around the existing pool, property, and long-term goals.

Bocce Ball Court Construction in Watermill, NY: A Custom Gappsi Backyard Installation

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Bocce Ball Court Construction in Watermill, NY: A Custom Gappsi Backyard Installation

Bocce is a classic outdoor game that has become increasingly popular for homeowners looking to create entertaining, elegant, and functional outdoor spaces. At Gappsi, we design and build custom bocce ball courts to complement the property while providing a durable, high-quality playing surface. Our latest bocce court installation in Watermill, NY, is a great example of how a custom court can be designed around a home’s specific needs and landscape.

For this Watermill residence, Gappsi constructed a 50-foot-long by 10-foot-wide bocce ball court along the side of the house. While a larger court was originally considered, the homeowners did not want the court extending too far into the middle of their front yard. To preserve the property’s appearance and usability, we adjusted the dimensions while maintaining a substantial 50-foot length. The result is a well-proportioned bocce court that fits naturally into the landscape without overwhelming the front yard.

A Custom Bocce Court Designed for the Property

One advantage of working with Gappsi is the ability to customize an outdoor recreation area around the existing property. Not every home has the space or layout for a full-size bocce court, and forcing a court into an unsuitable location can negatively affect both its appearance and functionality.

For this Watermill project, the side of the house provided the ideal location. By positioning the court along the side property line, we created a dedicated recreational space while keeping the front yard open and visually balanced.

The 50-foot length provides plenty of room for an enjoyable game of bocce while keeping the court appropriately scaled for the residence.

A High-Performance Synthetic Turf Surface

The playing surface is one of the most important components of any bocce court. For this project, Gappsi installed our bocce-specific synthetic turf, engineered to provide a clean, consistent playing surface.

Unlike natural grass, specialized synthetic turf eliminates many of the maintenance concerns associated with traditional lawns. The surface stays consistent without developing the bare spots, muddy areas, or irregularities that can occur with natural grass.

Another major advantage is that the surface is designed to resist divots. Bocce balls are repeatedly rolled across the court, and a conventional soft surface can become uneven over time. An uneven playing surface can affect how the balls travel and ultimately change the way the game is played.

The Gappsi bocce turf provides a smooth, dependable surface that is designed specifically for this type of recreational application.

Proper Base Preparation for Long-Term Performance

A quality bocce court starts beneath the visible surface. Proper base preparation is critical to creating a court that remains stable, level, and functional for years.

For this Watermill installation, the court was constructed over a base of larger-sized gravel, followed by a finer layer of bluestone chips. This layered approach provides a stable foundation for the finished playing surface.

After the base materials were properly prepared, the bocce synthetic turf was installed over the surface. The turf was then finished with a green infill, giving the court a natural, attractive appearance while improving the playing surface’s performance.

Attention to the foundation is an important part of the Gappsi installation process. A bocce court is only as good as the surface underneath it, which is why proper base preparation is an essential part of the construction.

High-Density Foam Beneath the Turf

Another important feature of this Watermill bocce court is the high-density foam installed underneath the synthetic turf.

The foam provides cushioning beneath the playing surface and is designed to help produce the appropriate ball response. When a bocce ball makes contact with the surface, the underlying system helps provide a consistent playing experience.

It also helps address a common problem with traditional outdoor playing surfaces: divots. Because bocce involves repeatedly rolling heavy balls across the court, the surface needs to withstand frequent use without becoming damaged or uneven.

The combination of the properly prepared stone base, high-density foam, specialized synthetic turf, and green infill creates a durable surface designed for recreational use.

VIEW OUR SPORTS GAME COURTS AND SYNTHETIC TURF

Durable Synthetic Wood Court Walls

The perimeter walls are another feature that gives this Watermill bocce court a clean, finished appearance.

Gappsi constructed the court walls using synthetic wood with 4×4 posts. This creates the look of a traditional wood-framed bocce court while offering greater durability and lower maintenance.

Traditional wood can eventually warp, deteriorate, or require painting and staining when exposed to weather. The synthetic wood used for this installation is designed to withstand outdoor conditions without those same maintenance requirements.

The result is a clean, contemporary appearance that complements the surrounding property while providing a strong and durable enclosure for the court.

For homeowners who want to spend their time enjoying their outdoor space rather than maintaining it, durable materials can make a significant difference.

A Bocce Court Built for Long Island Living

Outdoor recreation spaces have become an important part of residential landscape design throughout Long Island, particularly in areas such as Watermill, the Hamptons, and the surrounding communities. Homeowners are looking for ways to make their properties more enjoyable while creating spaces where family and friends can gather.

A custom bocce court can be an excellent addition to a backyard, side yard, pool area, or larger landscape design. It offers a chance to enjoy a classic game while adding an attractive architectural feature to the property.

The Watermill project shows that homeowners don’t need an enormous property to enjoy a custom bocce court. By adjusting the dimensions and carefully selecting the location, Gappsi created a 50-foot bocce court that works with the existing landscape.

Gappsi Custom Bocce Ball Court Construction

This latest bocce ball court installation in Watermill, NY, combines thoughtful design, durable materials, and a specialized playing surface. From the gravel and bluestone base to the high-density foam, bocce-specific synthetic turf, green infill, and synthetic wood walls, every component was selected for long-term performance and appearance.

The finished court provides the homeowners with a clean, low-maintenance space where they can enjoy bocce with family and friends. At the same time, its custom dimensions allow it to fit naturally into the property without extending into the middle of the front yard.

If you are considering adding a bocce ball court to your Long Island property, Gappsi can help design and construct a court around your available space, landscape, and personal preferences. Whether you are looking for a backyard entertainment area, a side-yard recreational space, or a larger outdoor living design, a professionally constructed bocce court can turn unused outdoor space into a destination for recreation and entertaining.

Serene Powder-Coated Aluminum Outdoor Kitchen on Dune Road in East Quogue, NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Serene Powder-Coated Aluminum Outdoor Kitchen on Dune Road in East Quogue, NY

When your home sits along the water on Dune Road in East Quogue, NY, an outdoor kitchen should do more than provide a place to grill. It should complement the views, withstand the coastal environment, create a comfortable entertaining space, and feel like a natural extension of the home.

That was the goal behind Gappsi’s latest outdoor kitchen installation in East Quogue. Built on a second-floor deck overlooking the ocean, this custom outdoor kitchen combines Serene powder-coated aluminum cabinetry, premium appliances, a custom countertop, and a motorized louvered pergola to create a sophisticated outdoor living space designed specifically around the homeowners’ property and lifestyle.

A Custom Outdoor Kitchen Designed for the Coast

Building an outdoor kitchen in a coastal location requires careful material selection. Salt air, humidity, direct sunlight, rain, and seasonal temperature changes can challenge traditional outdoor cabinetry.

For this East Quogue project, Gappsi selected Serene white oak powder-coated aluminum cabinets. Serene cabinetry is designed specifically for outdoor environments, combining aluminum construction with a durable powder-coated finish that provides protection against moisture, corrosion, UV exposure, and everyday outdoor use.

The white oak finish provides the warmth and visual character of wood while delivering the durability homeowners want from outdoor cabinetry. This creates an upscale appearance without sacrificing the practical advantages of an outdoor-rated material.

For a property directly overlooking the ocean, selecting cabinetry engineered for the coastal environment is especially important.

A Complete Cooking and Entertaining Station

This East Quogue outdoor kitchen was designed to provide everything needed for cooking and entertaining without continually traveling back and forth to the indoor kitchen.

The kitchen features a Delta grill and griddle, giving the homeowners multiple options for preparing meals outdoors. Whether grilling steaks and seafood or preparing breakfast, vegetables, burgers, or other foods on the griddle, the cooking area provides the flexibility expected from a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.

Gappsi also incorporated a sink into the design, making food preparation and cleanup much more convenient. Having a sink outside is one of those features that can make a major difference when entertaining. Instead of carrying dishes, utensils, and food preparation items inside, many everyday tasks can be handled right at the outdoor kitchen.

A Summit refrigerator was also installed, providing convenient refrigerated storage directly at the cooking station. Cold beverages, ingredients, condiments, and other items can remain within easy reach.

Together, the grill, griddle, sink, and refrigerator transform this space from a simple outdoor grilling area into a true outdoor kitchen.

Leather-Finished Gray Countertop

The cabinetry is complemented by a gray countertop with a leather finish. The textured finish adds another layer of visual interest to the design while creating a sophisticated contrast against the white oak cabinetry.

The countertop also provides the necessary workspace for food preparation, serving, and entertaining. In an outdoor kitchen, countertop space is just as important as the appliances themselves because it creates room to organize ingredients, prepare meals, set out dishes, and serve guests.

The combination of gray and white oak creates a modern yet warm aesthetic that works beautifully with the coastal surroundings.

A Motorized Louvered Pergola Adds Comfort and Flexibility

One standout feature of this East Quogue project is the louvered pergola installed over the outdoor kitchen.

The pergola provides overhead protection while letting homeowners control the amount of sunlight and openness above the kitchen. The louvers can be opened or closed using a remote control, giving the homeowners convenient control of the outdoor environment.

Want more sunlight and an open-air feeling? The louvers can be opened.

Need more shade or protection from the elements? The louvers can be closed.

This adjustable outdoor structure keeps the kitchen usable in a variety of weather and lighting conditions. Motorized pergolas are increasingly being incorporated into Long Island outdoor living spaces because they combine architectural design with practical functionality.

Gappsi also installed lighting on the pergola, allowing the kitchen and surrounding area to remain functional after the sun goes down. Evening lighting is especially important for an outdoor kitchen because it provides illumination for cooking while also creating an inviting atmosphere for entertaining.

Privacy Without Sacrificing the View

Because this kitchen is located on an elevated second-floor deck overlooking the water, maintaining the spectacular view was a major design consideration.

Gappsi installed privacy slats along one side of the kitchen, creating separation and privacy where it was needed. However, they intentionally left the opposite side open.

That decision was important to the homeowners because they did not want to lose the view of the water from inside the house.

This is an excellent example of why custom outdoor kitchen design is about much more than selecting cabinets and appliances. The layout has to take the property’s architecture, sightlines, views, privacy requirements, access points, and surrounding environment into account.

By selectively incorporating privacy elements rather than enclosing the entire kitchen, Gappsi was able to provide privacy while preserving the property’s connection to the ocean.

Functional Storage Built Into the Island

The kitchen island also includes a spice cabinet drawer, providing dedicated storage for seasonings and other frequently used cooking essentials.

Small details like this can have a significant impact on the functionality of an outdoor kitchen. Rather than storing everything in a single large cabinet, specialized storage allows homeowners to organize cooking supplies according to how they actually use the space.

Custom outdoor cabinetry allows Gappsi to incorporate these features into the overall kitchen design so storage is both attractive and practical.

Designing Around the View

Perhaps the most important element of this East Quogue project is the relationship between the kitchen and its surroundings.

Located on Dune Road and positioned on a second-floor deck facing the ocean, the outdoor kitchen isn’t simply an addition to the property—it is part of the home’s experience.

The design intentionally keeps the kitchen open toward the water. The homeowners can cook, entertain, and spend time outdoors while still enjoying the coastal views.

The louvered pergola adds another layer of functionality without turning the kitchen into an enclosed room. The open design preserves the feeling of being outdoors while providing greater control over sun and weather.

This is one advantage of a professionally designed outdoor living space: every element can be planned around how homeowners actually want to use their property.

Gappsi Outdoor Kitchens on Long Island

Gappsi designs and builds custom outdoor kitchens throughout Long Island, incorporating high-quality cabinetry, countertops, grills, refrigerators, sinks, pergolas, pavilions, and other outdoor living features.

Serene cabinetry is particularly well suited to Long Island outdoor kitchens because its aluminum construction and protective powder-coated finish are designed to handle the challenges of outdoor environments, including moisture and coastal conditions.

Every property presents different design opportunities. Some homeowners need to maximize a compact patio, while others want a complete outdoor entertaining area. Coastal properties may require additional attention to materials, weather exposure, privacy, and views.

The East Quogue project demonstrates what is possible when all of these considerations are brought together in one cohesive design.

A Beautiful Outdoor Kitchen for East Quogue Living

From the Serene white oak powder-coated aluminum cabinetry to the Delta grill and griddle, Summit refrigerator, sink, gray leather-finished countertop, motorized louvered pergola, integrated lighting, and custom storage, this Dune Road outdoor kitchen was designed to combine beauty and functionality.

Most importantly, the design respects the property itself.

The privacy slats provide separation where needed, while the open side protects the homeowners’ view of the water. The second-floor location creates an elevated outdoor entertaining area, and the louvered pergola provides flexible shade and protection without compromising the open-air experience.

This latest Gappsi outdoor kitchen installation in East Quogue, NY, shows how a carefully planned outdoor living space can transform the way homeowners use their property.

For homeowners considering a custom outdoor kitchen on Long Island, the right design isn’t simply about adding appliances. It is about creating an outdoor space that works with your home, your property, your lifestyle, and the environment around you. Gappsi can help bring those elements together into a custom outdoor kitchen designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

Resin Bound Stone Displays at the Gappsi Showroom on Long Island, NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Resin Bound Stone Displays at the Gappsi Showroom on Long Island, NY

When choosing materials for a new driveway, walkway, patio, pool surround, or outdoor living area, seeing a material in person can make all the difference. At Gappsi, we understand that homeowners want to see, touch, and experience the materials before investing in their property. That is why we recently completed a new resin-bound stone display at the Gappsi showroom in Smithtown, Long Island, NY.

Our new showroom display gives customers the opportunity to see the many colors, stone sizes, textures, and applications available with resin-bound stone systems. With 21 different natural stone color options on display, homeowners can get a much better idea of how this unique surface can look when installed on their own property.

What Is Resin Bound Stone?

Resin-bound stone is a decorative surfacing system that combines natural aggregate stones with a specially formulated resin. The stone and resin are thoroughly mixed together before being installed, creating a durable, attractive, and relatively seamless surface.

Unlike loose stone surfaces, resin-bound aggregate is held together by the resin. This creates a stable walking and driving surface while still providing the natural appearance of stone.

At Gappsi, the resin used for our stone systems is manufactured in Italy, while we import the natural stones used for our projects. The combination allows us to offer homeowners a wide selection of colors and aggregate options for different applications.  The result is a surface that can be both functional and decorative.

Our New Resin Bound Stone Display in Smithtown

We recently completed two circular resin-bound stone displays in the parking lot at our Smithtown showroom. These displays serve an important purpose beyond simply showing customers what the material looks like.

We designed the circles so that cars and trucks can drive over them.

This gives us the opportunity to demonstrate and test the strength and durability of the resin-bound stone surface under real-world conditions. Customers visiting our showroom can see firsthand that this material is not simply a decorative surface intended for light foot traffic.

Depending on the system and application, resin bound stone can be used for a variety of residential and commercial projects.

Seeing the surface in an actual driving area allows homeowners to better understand how the material performs when subjected to everyday use.

21 Different Natural Stone Colors

One of the most exciting parts of our new showroom display is the collection of different stone colors.

We created individual square displays to showcase 21 different colors of natural aggregate that are available for projects. Each display allows customers to compare colors side by side rather than choosing a stone color from a small photograph or catalog.

Natural stone can have variations in color and appearance, and seeing the aggregate in person can make the selection process much easier.

Homeowners can compare lighter and darker tones, warmer and cooler colors, and different combinations of natural stone to find an appearance that complements their home and outdoor environment.

The stone can also be mixed in different combinations to create a custom appearance.

Different Stone Sizes for Different Looks

Color isn’t the only choice when designing a resin-bound surface.

The natural aggregate is also available in different sizes, allowing homeowners to achieve different visual effects depending on the project.

Smaller aggregate can create a more refined appearance, while larger stone can provide a more pronounced natural-stone look. The appropriate size depends on the application, the desired appearance, and the overall design of the property.

At the Gappsi showroom, customers can see examples of the different aggregate options and discuss which type may be appropriate for their particular project.

This is especially helpful when coordinating a new surface with an existing patio, pool area, landscaping, driveway, or architectural features.

Resin Bound Stone for Driveways

One potential application for resin bound stone is a residential driveway.  A driveway needs to withstand considerably more abuse than a decorative walkway. Vehicles constantly travel over the surface, and the material needs to be installed properly for the intended use.  That is one of the reasons our showroom driving displays are so valuable.  Instead of simply looking at a sample board, customers can see resin bound stone installed as an actual surface and watch vehicles drive over it.

For homeowners considering alternatives to traditional concrete, asphalt, or other driveway materials, a resin bound system can provide a more decorative option while incorporating natural stone into the design.

Walkways, Patios and Pool Areas

Resin bound stone isn’t limited to driveways. The material can also be considered for walkways, patios, pool surrounds, entrances, courtyards, and other outdoor areas.

Because there are numerous color and aggregate combinations available, resin bound stone can be incorporated into a variety of landscape designs.

For example, a homeowner may choose a natural-looking aggregate that complements the stonework around a swimming pool. Another customer may prefer a contrasting color for a walkway that helps define the path through a landscaped yard.

The design possibilities make the material particularly interesting for homeowners who want something different from a standard concrete surface.

Resin Bound Stone for Play Areas

Another interesting application demonstrated at our showroom is the combination of resin bound stone with a rubber resin material to create a softer surface for playground areas.

This display provides customers with a cross-section showing how different materials can be used for different applications.

Playground surfaces have different requirements than driveways or patios. A softer rubberized surface can provide a more appropriate solution for areas where children are playing.

By displaying these materials at our showroom, we can show customers how the composition and installation approach can change depending on the intended use.

Why Visit the Gappsi Showroom?

Selecting outdoor materials from photographs can be difficult.  Colors can look different depending on lighting, photography, computer monitors, and surrounding materials. A color that appears perfect online may look completely different when placed next to your home’s siding, brick, pavers, landscaping, or other outdoor features.

That’s why we encourage homeowners to visit the Gappsi showroom in Smithtown, NY.  You can see our resin-bound stone options in person, compare the 21 available colors, look at different aggregate sizes, and see actual installed examples.

Our showroom helps you better understand the materials before deciding which direction you want to take with your project.

Natural Stone Imported for Gappsi Projects

The aggregate used in our resin-bound stone systems consists of natural stone, giving each surface its own character and appearance.

Gappsi imports these stones for use in our projects, providing customers with access to a broad selection of materials and colors.

The stones can be selected and combined according to the look the homeowner wants to achieve. Whether the goal is a subtle, natural appearance or a more distinctive decorative surface, there are multiple options to consider.

Our team can help you determine which stone, size, and color combination makes sense for your property and the intended application.

See Resin Bound Stone in Person on Long Island

Our new resin bound stone showroom display is designed to do more than showcase colors. It demonstrates the versatility of the material and gives homeowners a chance to see how resin bound stone can be used in real-world applications.

From driveways and walkways to patios, pool areas and specialty surfaces, resin-bound stone offers an opportunity to incorporate natural aggregate into an attractive outdoor design.

With 21 different colors, multiple aggregate sizes, and different application possibilities, homeowners have plenty of options to explore.

If you’re considering resin-bound stone for your Long Island property, visit the Gappsi showroom in Smithtown, NY to see the materials for yourself. Walk through the displays, compare the colors and stone sizes, and talk with our team about your project.

Seeing the material in person can make it much easier to envision what the finished surface could look like at your home.

Custom Bocce Court Built in Westhampton, NY by Gappsi

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Custom Bocce Court Built in Westhampton, NY by Gappsi

A beautifully designed bocce court can transform a backyard into a destination for outdoor recreation, entertaining, and spending time with family and friends. At Gappsi, we specialize in designing and building custom outdoor living spaces throughout Long Island, including professionally constructed bocce courts designed for years of enjoyment.

Our latest bocce court installation in Westhampton, NY was completed for a private residence and showcases the quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that goes into every Gappsi bocce court.

From the synthetic wood construction and imported Italian bocce turf to the specially engineered base and surrounding gravel landscape, every component of this court was selected to create a beautiful, durable, and exceptionally playable bocce court.

A Custom Bocce Court for a Westhampton Residence

This Westhampton, NY homeowner wanted to add a dedicated bocce court to the property that would complement the surrounding landscape while providing a high-quality playing surface for family and guests.

Gappsi designed and constructed the court using our proven bocce court installation system. While every project can be customized to fit the property and homeowner’s vision, we build our bocce courts using the same fundamental construction principles to provide a durable, low-maintenance playing environment.

The result is much more than simply placing turf over a section of the backyard. A professionally constructed bocce court requires careful attention to the base, drainage, playing surface, walls, and surrounding landscape.

Synthetic Wood Construction for Long-Term Durability

One feature that sets this Gappsi bocce court apart is the synthetic wood used for the walls and top of the court.

Traditional wood can eventually rot, warp, crack, or deteriorate when exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Bocce courts are often installed outdoors where they are exposed to rain, humidity, sunlight, and seasonal temperature changes, making material selection particularly important.

For this reason, Gappsi uses synthetic wood designed for outdoor applications.

The synthetic wood provides the appearance and character of traditional wood while offering significant durability advantages. It is designed not to rot, wear, or warp like conventional wood can over time.

Another important detail is the finished appearance. Gappsi constructs the court without visible screws or nails on the finished surfaces. This creates a cleaner, more refined appearance that works well with upscale residential landscaping.

The result is a bocce court that looks like an intentional architectural feature of the property rather than an afterthought.

Italian Bocce Turf Provides the Playing Surface

The playing surface is one of the most important components of any bocce court.

For this Westhampton project, Gappsi installed our specialized bocce turf imported from Italy. The turf is specifically selected for bocce court applications and provides a consistent playing surface.

Unlike ordinary artificial grass designed primarily for landscaping, bocce turf needs to perform as a recreational playing surface. The ball needs to roll consistently across the court, and the surface needs to remain stable and level.

The Gappsi bocce court system is designed around these requirements.

The turf creates the finished playing surface while the engineered materials beneath it provide the stability and cushioning necessary for proper play.

Gravel Base and High-Density Foam

What is underneath a bocce court is just as important as what you see on top.

At Gappsi, we install a properly prepared gravel base underneath the turf. This helps provide stability while also allowing water to drain through the court.

Proper drainage is especially important for outdoor recreational surfaces. Without an effective drainage system, water can collect beneath the turf and potentially contribute to uneven areas or other problems over time.

Above the gravel base, Gappsi installs high-density foam as part of the court construction system.

The foam provides an important benefit for bocce players because it helps create a stable but forgiving playing surface. The combination of the engineered base, high-density foam, and specialized turf helps prevent divots.

Custom Bocce Court Built in Westhampton

A Virtually Divot-Free Bocce Court

Anyone who has played on a traditional bocce court knows that divots can become a problem.

Repeated play can create depressions in the surface when bocce balls land. Over time, those divots can affect how the balls roll and make the court less consistent.

The Gappsi bocce court construction system is designed to minimize this issue.

The high-density foam beneath the Italian bocce turf helps absorb the impact of the balls and helps prevent the surface from developing the types of depressions commonly associated with traditional playing surfaces.

The goal is a virtually divot-free bocce court that maintains a flat and consistent playing surface.

That means homeowners can spend more time playing and less time worrying about repairing or maintaining the court.

Keeping the Court Flat and Consistent

A quality bocce court needs to provide consistent playing conditions.

The floor of a Gappsi bocce court is engineered to stay flat and stable. This is important because even small changes in the surface can affect the path and speed of a bocce ball.

The carefully prepared base, high-density foam, and specialized turf work together to create a level playing surface.

For a private residence in Westhampton, this provides homeowners with a dedicated recreational area that can be enjoyed throughout the season without the constant maintenance associated with some traditional bocce court surfaces.

Turf Extends Up the Side Walls

Another unique detail of this Gappsi bocce court is the way the turf comes up along the sides of the walls.

This is more than an aesthetic detail.

When a bocce ball hits the wall, a traditional hard surface can produce a loud impact. By bringing the turf up the side of the wall, Gappsi helps reduce the sound created when the ball makes contact with the court’s side.

This creates a more comfortable playing environment while also giving the court a finished, integrated appearance.

It is another example of how Gappsi considers both the appearance and functionality of every component of a custom outdoor recreation project.

White Gravel Surrounds the Bocce Court

To complete the installation, Gappsi surrounded the bocce court with white gravel.

The white gravel creates a clean contrast against the green bocce turf and helps integrate the court into the surrounding landscape.

However, simply placing loose gravel around a recreational area can result in the stone moving, spreading, and eventually becoming difficult to maintain.

For this project, Gappsi installed the gravel using a Gravel Fix honeycomb system.

The honeycomb structure helps hold the individual gravel pieces in place. This creates a more stable surface while helping prevent the gravel from shifting throughout the surrounding area.

The finished combination of white gravel, green turf, and synthetic wood creates a sophisticated outdoor recreational space that complements the Westhampton home’s landscape.
