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.

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.

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.

Gunite Pool Construction Close To Home Backyard Design Sag Harbor NY

Sag-harbor-gunite-pool-construction-backyard-design1Thinking about adding a gunite pool construction close to home?  If you are installing a pool in your backyard, there are many types to choose from. As you research information on a potential new backyard swimming pool, you will often encounter the term “gunite.” Gunite swimming pools are popular because they are highly durable and they can be created in just about any shape.

Gunite is a concrete blend of sand, cement, and water that’s applied through a high-pressure hose. Once it dries, gunite becomes rock hard, forming a thick, solid structure. It is exceedingly durable, so swimming pools made of this substance are built to last.

Gunite Pool Construction Benefits

  • Built to Last: Concrete is durable and porous, allowing the plaster-coated shell to hold water, provide stability, and be replastered when needed, adding to its longevity.
  • Variety of Finishes: Various materials can be added to pool surfaces made of concrete or plaster, including tile, stone, and man-made textures.
  • Variety of Features: Attach waterfalls, custom steps, and so much more to the pool design.
  • Versatility: Gunite pools give you the ability to customize the shape of the pool. This is perfect for those wanting an extremely deep or large pool, or a pool with custom tanning ledges.

Gunite Pool Construction Backyard Design Sag Harbor NY

Our team at Gappsi designed and installed a gunite pool close to the home in Sag Harbor NY.  We built the patio with G044 Limestone and installed a sundeck in the shallow area of the pool.  The stairs within the pool design were free-formed to accommodate the backyard.  The sun deck and stairs were veneered with glass tiles.  The same glass tiles were used in the waterline of the pool.

Sag-harbor-gunite-pool-construction-backyard-design3What are the advantages of glass tiles?

The tiles reflect the light to give your pool the appearance of being brighter and larger. Glass tile is impervious to liquids and resistant to staining and discoloration, which means cleaning generally only requires a simple wipe down. If you dislike mold with a passion then this is a great choice for your bathroom or swimming pool.

Cooking Island Adds Functionality!

A cooking island was installed near the pool and home.  Included in the design was a Twin Eagles Grill, an outdoor refrigerator, and a built-in sink, the cooking island adds to the small backyard’s functionality. A wall with bricks was added at the edge of the property to accommodate the fence as well.  This was a very detailed project and the latest design from Gappsi in Sag Harbor NY.

Why Have Your Pool Close To Your Home?

The problem is that people don’t anticipate exactly how they will eventually use their pool, and weigh that properly against other factors.  Here are five reasons you might want to keep your pool close at hand.

Space:  In this home located in Sag Harbor, space was why the pool was installed close to the home.  Not everyone has the luxury of a large backyard, in many cases, placing the pool close to the house is the only option. However, even when you have some area to work with, keeping the pool tucked into a corner close to the house might be the most efficient use of space. Why not save the rest of your yard for other activities?

Convenience:  You’re going to be making many trips to and from your pool.  About half of them, you’re going to be dripping wet. It’s hard to overstate how handy it is for swimmers to have easy access to a shower and toilet. If you plan to entertain, or just eat meals on your pool patio, it’s also convenient to have the kitchen close by.  Another convenience is having a garage or other storage area nearby helping make pool maintenance a bit easier.

Aesthetics:  A pool is more than just a recreational area. When thoughtfully designed, it’s also great eye candy for your property. Keeping the pool close to the house allows you to enjoy the scenery more – which is especially nice in warmer climates where you can keep your pool open most or all of the year. Many people also love the sound of water, and incorporate things like waterfalls to produce perfectly tranquil background noise for their home.

Privacy:  In many cases, a simple fence doesn’t provide the sort of privacy people want for their swimming pool. Trees, shrubs, and other plants are needed to fill in the gaps. However, this is much less of an issue when the pool is close to the house, which serves as the ultimate view-blocker.

Safety:  While safety comes last on the list, it’s a primary concern for parents of young children who are thinking about building an inground pool. Having the swimming pool right outside your door makes it much easier to see and hear everything that goes on in it. Just as important, it allows you to get to the scene quicker if an accident happens. When it comes to pool safety, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second counts.
