A custom multisport game court can be in your backyard.  Creating outdoor living spaces that promote health, family fun, and versatility has become a top trend in residential landscaping.  Gappsi has been at the forefront of this movement on Long Island. The latest example of this trend is a beautifully designed and masterfully constructed Multisport Game Court in Dix Hills, NY. From pickleball and bocce to basketball and volleyball, this custom-built court is a testament to functional design and expert craftsmanship.

A Vision for All-Ages, All-Sports Entertainment

The homeowners in Dix Hills envisioned a space that catered to multiple generations, sports interests, and year-round outdoor activity. Gappsi brought this vision to life by designing a comprehensive custom multisport game court that blends high-performance surfaces with an elegant, durable finish. The finished project is not just a game court—it’s a lifestyle enhancement, a social hub, and a physical fitness zone, all in one.

One of the project’s highlights is the expertly crafted bocce courtA classic game area that brings timeless charm to any backyard. Gappsi constructed the court using synthetic wood for the sidewalls.  This is an eco-friendly and maintenance-free material that mimics the look of natural timber without its susceptibility to rot or warping. The floor of the bocce court features synthetic turf with a green infill, chosen for its resilience, even bounce, and low upkeep. This combination ensures an even playing surface while also providing a visually cohesive and natural aesthetic.

The synthetic turf also allows water to drain efficiently, making the bocce court usable shortly after rainfall, a critical factor for homeowners seeking convenience and functionality.

A Modern Pickleball Sports Game Court with Premier Performance

Pickleball has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., and this court was built to meet the demand with professional-quality standards. The pickleball court features a durable asphalt base laid over recycled concrete, an environmentally conscious decision that enhances structural integrity while reducing waste.

The court was then painted using Laykold paints and primers, a top-tier surfacing product used in professional tennis and multi-use courts worldwide. Gappsi applied a stylish light blue and silver color scheme for the inlay, offering excellent visual contrast for better ball visibility and gameplay. The outer perimeter of the court was painted green, tying the whole design into the surrounding landscape.

Gappsi didn’t stop at court design and surfacing.  We elevated this backyard transformation by installing high-end sports equipment tailored for multi-game versatility.

A Dominator basketball hoop anchors one end of the court. Known for its premium construction and smooth height adjustability, the Dominator system is made from rust-resistant aluminum and built to withstand even the most aggressive play. It’s a full-size hoop, perfect for both casual shooting practice and competitive games.

Flanking the basketball hoop are double-horn lights mounted on aluminum posts. These high-efficiency lights provide even illumination for nighttime play, extending the court’s usability well beyond daylight hours. This means more time for families and friends to connect, exercise, and enjoy their outdoor space.

In addition to basketball, Gappsi installed a multisport net system designed to accommodate pickleball, badminton, and volleyball. This netting is adjustable in height and tension, enabling players to seamlessly transition between different games without the hassle of swapping out equipment. It’s a perfect solution for families with varied interests and skill levels.

Premium Perimeter Finishing with Nicolock Pavers

Beyond the playing areas, the entire project is framed with impeccable stonework. Gappsi used Nicolock Stone Ridge pavers in the “Granite City” color, complemented by a contrasting charcoal border. This elegant yet durable perimeter not only enhances the visual appeal of the court but also provides a functional buffer zone that helps define the play space and separate it from surrounding landscaping.

These pavers are renowned for their richly colored surface, slip resistance, and longevity, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic outdoor applications. They also add a clean, polished finish that seamlessly ties the court into the overall backyard design.

Traditional Pavilion with Passion Spa Built in Commack NY

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.

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.
