Transforming a backyard into a luxury retreat takes vision, creativity, and expert craftsmanship. This latest Gappsi project in East Setauket, NY, is a perfect example. The homeowners wanted a space that was beautiful, functional, and comfortable year-round. Gappsi designed and installed an entire backyard environment that blends modern features, elegant materials, and thoughtful outdoor living spaces. The result is a seamless combination of leisure, entertainment, and architectural sophistication.
A Custom Vinyl Pool as the Centerpiece
The project began with the installation of a custom vinyl pool featuring concrete walls for exceptional durability and longevity. Measuring 16 feet by 36 feet, the pool offers ample space for swimming, relaxing, and entertaining. Its shape complements the backyard layout, providing space for the surrounding patio, sundeck, and additional landscape features.
A full-width sundeck at the shallow end provides a resort-style element. Gappsi installed two bubblers on the sundeck, creating a soothing, spa-like water feature that enhances the pool’s visual appeal and comfort.
To create a clean, elevated look around the perimeter, Gappsi used sandstone coping with rounded edges on the top and bottom. The coping was then sealed to match the porcelain patio, ensuring a cohesive, elegant finish throughout the space. This color-matching technique allowed the natural stone to blend beautifully with the rest of the design.
Porcelain Patio Pavers Throughout the Yard
The entire patio surrounding the pool was installed using high-quality porcelain pavers selected from the Gappsi showroom. The homeowners chose a beige porcelain with white veins, adding a modern yet timeless aesthetic to the outdoor environment. Porcelain is one of the most durable and low-maintenance materials available for outdoor patios. The porcelain paver is resistant to fading, staining, weathering, and heat.
The pavers were installed with precision to create a smooth, flawless surface ideal for lounging, walkways, and outdoor entertaining. Their neutral tones allow all surrounding structures and landscaping features to blend harmoniously.
Synthetic Turf Accents for Clean, Modern Lines
To further elevate the visual design, Gappsi installed a 12- to 14-inch synthetic turf border around the patio. This strip of turf creates a clean line in front of the retaining walls and alongside the home, enhancing contrast while keeping the overall layout neat and contemporary. Synthetic turf is not only visually appealing but also eliminates the need for trimming, watering, or maintenance along those tight boundary lines.
Retaining Wall and Pool Auto Cover Housing
A custom-designed retaining wall was built behind the pool’s deep end. This wall also serves as the housing area for the pool’s automatic cover system, keeping it concealed and protected. The retaining wall blends seamlessly with the overall design, offering both structural support and visual appeal.
A Custom Pavilion Designed to Match the Home
One of the standout features of this backyard is the custom-built pavilion, thoughtfully designed to mirror the home’s architectural style. Trimmed entirely in Azek moldings, the pavilion features a detailed front peak that ties into the residence’s aesthetic.
The pavilion floor is uniquely delineated with synthetic turf, creating a soft, visually distinct boundary between the shaded structure and the porcelain patio. Under the pavilion, Gappsi created a cozy outdoor living room complete with a gas fireplace, a mounted TV, and comfortable lounge space. The cathedral ceiling enhances openness while providing excellent airflow, and a built-in heater allows the homeowners to enjoy the area even during cooler seasons.
A Premium Outdoor Kitchen Built for Entertaining
No luxury backyard is complete without a well-designed outdoor kitchen. Gappsi installed an L-shaped outdoor kitchen featuring top-tier Twin Eagle appliances, including:
- A 36-inch grill
- A 30-inch griddle
- Summit refrigerator
- Summit ice maker
- Stainless steel cabinetry
- A built-in sink
The kitchen is topped with a leather-finished granite countertop, explicitly chosen to complement the color of the stone walls and porcelain patio. This outdoor kitchen allows for complete meal preparation, making the backyard an ideal space for gatherings, celebrations, and summer cookouts.
A Cohesive and Luxurious Backyard Design
This project reflects Gappsi’s commitment to quality design, precision installation, and personalized outdoor living solutions. Every part of this East Setauket backyard, from the pool and patio to the pavilion and kitchen, was thoughtfully planned and executed to deliver a cohesive, luxurious, and functional environment.
The combination of porcelain pavers, synthetic turf, custom masonry, architectural woodwork, and premium outdoor appliances creates a space that is both modern and timeless. Whether relaxing on the sundeck, enjoying the pavilion in the evening, or hosting a backyard barbecue, the homeowners now have a private retreat that enhances their lifestyle year-round.
This backyard transformation stands as one of Gappsi’s latest and most impressive designs, showcasing their craftsmanship and dedication to delivering beautiful outdoor spaces across Long Island.
