Ideally, every element must come together when creating the ultimate luxury backyard transformation oasis. It must offer functionality and aesthetic beauty. Gappsi, a leader in luxury outdoor installations, recently completed an extraordinary project in Belle Terre, NY, showcasing the best design, craftsmanship, and quality materials. From stunning stonework to custom-built features, this backyard installation is a testament to the company’s expertise in turning outdoor spaces into extraordinary retreats.
The Vision and Inspiration Behind this Luxury Backyard Transformation
The Vision and Inspiration Behind this Luxury Backyard TransformationThe 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.
The patios were strategically designed to provide ample seating and lounging areas, making them ideal for social gatherings and family relaxation. 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.
Outdoor Cooking Area
Outdoor Cooking AreaThe installation includes a state-of-the-art outdoor cooking area just outside the covered patio for those who love to cook and entertain outdoors. The cooking area is designed to be both functional and stylish, featuring high-end appliances, ample counter space, and a built-in grill perfect for preparing meals while enjoying the fresh air.
This outdoor kitchen is ideal for hosting barbecues, preparing gourmet meals, or cooking while spending time with loved ones. It adds a sense of luxury and convenience to the backyard, allowing the homeowners to host gatherings easily.
The Gas Fire Pit Area
The Gas Fire Pit AreaOne of the standout elements of the luxury backyard transformation design is the gas fire pit at the edge of the property. 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.
The Putting Green
The Putting GreenThis Belle Terre backyard installation for golf enthusiasts includes a beautifully designed putting green with synthetic turf. The high-quality synthetic turf mimics the feel of a real putting green, allowing the homeowners to practice their short game in the comfort of their backyard.

Welcome to my oven room at the Gappsi showroom. Let’s make some fresh homemade bread. Today, I am using the flour grown and milled in Italy from my property. The Maiorca flour has a white color to it, and the Semolina flour has a yellowish tint.
Once the dough has relaxed for 20 hours, we shape it into small pieces. Now, I am shaping the dough. This is the final step, and touch before letting it rest. I let it rest until it is time to bake. Letting the dough rest is crucial in baking because it allows the gluten strands to relax and redistribute, making the dough easier to shape, preventing shrinkage, and ultimately resulting in a better texture and rise in the final baked good; essentially, it gives the gluten a “break” after kneading, allowing it to become more pliable and elastic.
This outdoor wood-fired oven was custom-built in Sorrento, Italy. At Gappsi, we also provide this product and service to our clients. We can have your custom-built outdoor backyard oven hand-painted from the picture you provided. The tiles will be hand-painted and then baked to make a forever-lasting finish. This oven in the Gappsi showroom has a picture of me, Giuseppe, on one side. This picture was taken in my niece’s orange garden in Italy. Next, I had a hat painted on the front hood of the oven, “Make Pizza Great Again.” On the other side is a picture of my wife and I. On the back, I have pictures of my hometown, Belvedere Spinello, on the left and right. We have been using this oven to test the difference between a wood-burning oven and a gas-burn backyard outdoor oven.
We have baked the bread for an hour, and it is time to remove it from the oven. I use the cloth on the door to seal the door so the heat does not escape and burn. It is cooked to perfection.
