The popularity of pickleball continues to explode across Long Island and throughout the United States. As more homeowners discover the excitement, social benefits, and health advantages of the sport, the demand for professionally designed backyard pickleball courts has never been higher. Gappsi recently completed another beautiful custom pickleball court installation in Mastic Beach, NY, showcasing the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that have made Gappsi a leader in sports game court construction on Long Island.
This latest project features a regulation-size pickleball court built with premium materials, professional-grade court surfacing systems, and industry-leading installation techniques, designed to deliver years of exceptional performance and enjoyment.
Why Pickleball Continues to Grow in Popularity
Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports in America because it is easy to learn, enjoyable for all age groups, and provides excellent exercise without the intense physical demands of other racket sports. Families, retirees, fitness enthusiasts, and competitive athletes are all embracing pickleball as a fun and engaging activity.
Many homeowners are installing private pickleball courts on their properties to enjoy the convenience of playing whenever they want, without having to visit public facilities or wait for a court to become available. A professionally built backyard pickleball court can also increase property value while creating an attractive outdoor recreational space for family and friends.
As a leading sports game court builder on Long Island, Gappsi specializes in designing and constructing custom pickleball courts that meet official specifications while complementing each homeowner’s property and lifestyle.
Site Preparation and Foundation Construction
Every successful pickleball court begins with proper site preparation and foundation work. For this pickleball court installation in Mastic Beach, NY, Gappsi followed a meticulous construction process to ensure a durable and long-lasting playing surface.
The court foundation was built using recycled concrete aggregate as the base material. Recycled concrete provides excellent structural stability, proper drainage characteristics, and environmental benefits while creating a strong foundation for the asphalt surface.
After preparing and compacting the recycled concrete base, Gappsi installed four inches of compacted asphalt. Proper asphalt thickness is critical for sports game court performance because it creates a stable, smooth surface that minimizes cracking and provides consistent ball bounce.
Compaction plays an essential role in the longevity of courts. By thoroughly compacting both the base and asphalt layers, Gappsi ensures the court maintains its integrity and performance through Long Island’s seasonal weather, including freezing winters and hot summers.
Premium Court Surfacing System
One of the most important aspects of any pickleball court installation is the surfacing system. The surface must provide proper traction, consistent ball response, durability, and visual appeal.
For this Mastic Beach pickleball court project, Gappsi utilized a professional multi-layer surfacing process designed to maximize performance and longevity.
The court was first primed using New Surf, a high-quality primer that helps create a strong bond between the asphalt surface and subsequent coating applications. Proper priming is a critical step that contributes to the court’s overall durability and lifespan.
Following the primer application, two coats of black resurfacer mixed with sand were installed. The addition of sand helps create the proper texture needed for player traction while enhancing surface durability. This resurfacing layer also helps smooth minor imperfections and creates an ideal foundation for the color coating system.
Finally, three coats of premium Lykold sports game court paint were applied. Lykold is widely recognized in the sports game court industry for its durability, color retention, and performance. The multiple coats of paint provide excellent coverage, vibrant color, and long-term protection against weather and wear.
Custom Court Color Design
In addition to performance, aesthetics play an important role in any custom sports game court project. Homeowners want a court that enhances their property’s appearance while providing excellent playability.
For this installation, Gappsi selected a sophisticated color combination that creates visual contrast while maintaining an attractive appearance.
The outer perimeter of the court and the pickleball kitchen area were painted forest green. This rich green tone blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape and provides a professional appearance commonly found in high-end sports facilities.
The pickleball-playing boxes were painted in a desert sand color. The contrast between the forest green and desert sand creates excellent visibility for players while giving the court a distinctive and elegant appearance.
White striping was then applied in accordance with official pickleball court dimensions and regulations. Accurate court striping is essential for both recreational and competitive play, ensuring that the court meets standard specifications and provides a consistent playing experience.
The result is a visually striking court that combines functionality with curb appeal.
Regulation-Size Dominator Pickleball Net System
No pickleball court is complete without a high-quality net system. For this Mastic Beach project, Gappsi installed a regulation-size Dominator pickleball net system.
Dominator net systems are known throughout the industry for their durability, stability, and professional appearance. The posts are constructed from aluminum, providing several important advantages over other materials.
Aluminum offers exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor installations exposed to changing weather conditions. It also provides structural strength while remaining lightweight and easy to maintain.
The regulation-size net system ensures that players experience the same playing conditions found on professional and tournament-quality courts. Whether the homeowners are enjoying casual family games or competitive matches, the net system delivers reliable performance and authentic gameplay.

Transform Your Pavers Without Replacing Them
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.
Outdoor kitchens and cooking islands have become a focal point in outdoor living construction. Many outdoor kitchen designers and masonry contractors suggest to build them as part of their clients’ outdoor living areas. A good amount are built with Nicolock wall systems with a variety of appliances. These include grills, gas burners, sinks, refrigerators, bar sinks, hoods, ovens, ice makers, or just cabinets spaces.
This outdoor kitchen was built in a U shape layout. It incorporates many amenities such as twin eagle appliances, pizza oven, outdoor refrigerator, ice makers, cook top and a bar sink. The colorful out door lighting creates a inviting atmosphere for friends and family. The shell was veneered with Fiorito veneer travertine selected from the Gappsi natural stone collection. The vinyl, free form pool incorporates a wall with sheer descends. The backyard was designed with a deck and paving stone patio. Designed by Giuseppe Abbrancati and installed by Gappsi.
