We recently built a custom basketball court in Southampton, NY.  At Gappsi, we specialize in creating beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces, and one of our latest projects is a perfect example of craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail. Recently, we had the pleasure of designing and installing a custom basketball court in Southampton, NY, built to fit the homeowner’s unique space and style preferences. Using high-quality Mateflex tiles, a Dominator basketball hoop, and carefully planned design features, this court is not only practical for play but also a stunning addition to the property.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the entire project from the design to the materials used.  We will also highlight why Mateflex basketball courts are such a popular choice for homeowners looking to elevate their outdoor living experience.

Not every property has the same space available for a full-sized basketball court, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game. For this Southampton project, we designed a custom-sized court to maximize the area while still keeping the game authentic and fun.

The court includes a 3-point line, although it was slightly scaled down to fit the available space. This gives the homeowners and their guests the whole basketball experience.  Shooting, dribbling, and gameplay while making the most of the property layout.

The Mateflex Tile System

The foundation of this project lies in the Mateflex tile system, one of the most trusted names in sports flooring. For this installation, we first prepared an asphalt base, ensuring a smooth and solid surface for durability. Then, we installed Mateflex TopCourt tiles, designed explicitly for outdoor basketball courts.

What makes Mateflex tiles so special?

  • Shock Absorption & Comfort – They reduce stress on joints, making the game more enjoyable and safer.
  • All-Weather Durability – The tiles are resistant to weather extremes, from summer heat to winter frost, ensuring longevity.
  • Low Maintenance – They are easy to clean, resistant to fading, and require little upkeep compared to traditional surfaces.
  • Performance Quality – With excellent ball response and traction, they mimic the feel of a professional basketball surface.

  • Red tiles for the border.
  • Navy blue tiles for the inlay.
  • Royal blue tiles for the keys.

The contrast of bold blues against the striking red border created a modern, eye-catching design. To finish it off, we carefully added white striping to outline the court lines, ensuring both style and function.

The Dominator 72-Inch Adjustable Basketball Hoop

A court is only as good as the hoop that goes with it. For this installation, we installed a Dominator 72-inch basketball hoop, one of the top choices for residential courts.

What sets this hoop apart is its adjustability. Players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the court by lowering or raising the hoop to the desired height. Whether kids are practicing layups or adults are playing a competitive game, the Dominator hoop is built for performance and durability. Made with heavy-duty materials, it can withstand the demands of daily use while maintaining its sleek, professional look.

One of the challenges of building a backyard court is keeping the ball contained. To solve this, we surrounded the Southampton court with out-of-bounds netting on three sides. This netting ensures that basketballs stay within the play area, reducing the chance of lost balls and protecting the surrounding property.

In addition to functionality, aesthetics were also a priority for this project. We built a Cumaru wood wall on one side of the court. While the netting provides containment, the Cumaru wall offers a warm, natural design element that complements the outdoor setting. Cumaru wood, known for its durability and rich color, serves as both a functional barrier and a beautiful architectural feature.

Synthetic Fringe for a Finished Look

Attention to detail is what truly elevates a project. To complete the basketball court design, we added a 1-foot-wide synthetic turf fringe around the entire perimeter. This not only frames the court beautifully but also provides a clean, polished transition from the playing surface to the surrounding landscape. The turf creates a softer edge, reducing dirt and debris from tracking onto the court, while enhancing the overall visual appeal.

At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf Dix Hills NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf in Dix Hills, NY

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-playing, hardest-hitting games around; why not build an at-home lacrosse field with synthetic turf? You can expect ball speeds up to 100 mph flying through the air, hitting the ground at various angles, and lots of running. That means the key to keeping lacrosse players protected and performing their best is a safe, durable playing surface that can stand up to the most challenging and fastest hits game after game.

Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf

In our recent project in Dix Hills, N.Y., our team built a miniature lacrosse field in a private backyard. We installed porcelain tiles diagonally to lead to the driveway’s entrance and added 4-inch strips of synthetic turf between the tiles.

Porcelain paver stepping stones and artificial turf can be a low-maintenance way to create a lush, natural-looking outdoor space.  One of our favorite low-maintenance elements to add to any artificial grass project is paving stones. Whether that comes as spaced-out stepping stones between the turf, a paving stone patio, or a walkway, it gives your yard more functionality and adds another dimension. In recent years, the hardscaping industry has increased in designs, materials, and tools. People used to think of paving stones as a monotonous pattern of bricks, but today, it has become an art form, and we have embraced that here at Gappsi.at-home-lacrosse-field-with-synthetic-turf-dix-hills-ny1

For your next project, consider adding paving stones to your backyard because they are better suited to higher-traffic areas (compared to artificial grass). The only real limitation of synthetic turf is that it tends to develop a “wear pattern,” in which you can see more wear from the high-traffic areas. For example, adding stepping stones or a pathway would make sense if you always walk a particular path to your car or garage.

Strengthen Your Short Game with a Putting Green

Imagine the freedom of your backyard or basement putting green—perhaps a mini hole or short course. Practicing is convenient, and let’s face it now: your house looks extraordinary. We installed a putting green in the corner using Radici synthetic turf. Radici Sport develops and manufactures innovative artificial turf for the professional and amateur sports world and landscape applications, ensuring high reliability and long-term performance. Radici Synthetic grass is 100% made in Italy, and Gappsi imports it directly from the manufacturer.  Gappsi designs and constructs custom residential and commercial golf greens using high-quality, durable, artificial turf. We deliver an unrivaled experience that combines exceptional performance and elevated aesthetics.

Out-of-Bounds Netting (or out-of-play netting)

As part of the installation for the in-home lacrosse field, we installed out-of-bounce netting behind the goal net to prevent the ball from going next door. We also striped the court with permanent white lines.

Out-of-bounds netting (or out-of-play netting) is used in various sports and recreational activities to enhance safety, improve the spectator experience, and protect property. Here’s why it’s commonly used:

1. Safety – Protect Spectators: In sports like baseball, hockey, lacrosse, and golf, balls or pucks can fly at high speeds. Netting acts as a barrier to prevent injuries.  You also protect players.  Netting can prevent stray balls from interfering with play or hitting players in training areas or fields.
2. Improved Gameplay – Maintain Focus by keeping balls or other equipment within the play area; netting reduces interruptions and ensures smoother gameplay.  Defined Boundaries: Netting marks the out-of-bounds area, making it easier for players and referees to judge play.
3. Property Protection – Prevents damage to nearby property, such as cars, windows, or other structures, especially in urban or community settings.
4. Enhanced Spectator Experience – Fans can watch the game without worrying about being struck by stray balls or pucks, making the experience safer and more enjoyable.
5. Compliance with Regulations – Many sports leagues and venues must install netting to comply with safety regulations and reduce liability risks.
6. Cost-Effectiveness – Reducing incidents of damage or injury can save money in the long term by minimizing lawsuits, medical costs, and repairs.

Out-of-bounds netting balances safety and visibility, ensuring players and spectators enjoy the game with minimal risk.
