Marble-Patios-And-Pools-On-Long-Island-NY1

Many believe marble is unsuitable for swimming pool coping and patio pavers. However, marble is inarguably one of the most versatile and durable materials for these constructions. At Gappsi, we understand the value of marble as a stunning natural stone. It’s why we use marble pavers and pool copings in Nassau & Suffolk Counties. It’s a luxurious and beautiful material for walkways, pavers, pool coping, and veneers, as it never goes out of style.

Why Choose Marble Pavers and Pool Copings in Nassau & Suffolk Counties

If you’re wondering why you should use marble pavers and marble pool coping in Long Island, NY, here are some reasons that will help you make an informed decision:

It Is Durable

Marble is a highly durable material, which makes it the ideal choice for pool copings and backyard pavers. Marble is constructed to last a lifetime, and when we use it in patio and pool remodeling, it stands its ground and resists heavy loads. Moreover, marble can withstand moving weight and is a smart choice for areas with heavy foot traffic.

If you’re doubtful about marble’s durability, consider that people have used marble to create structures throughout history. You can find examples of stunning marble architecture all over the world. For instance, the Palace of Versailles in France, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Washington Monument in the U.S. are impressive marble constructions.

People use marble not just for its beauty but also because of its durability. Furthermore, marble is resistant to weather and other environmental factors, enhancing its overall durability. When you choose marble pavers and pool copings in Nassau & Suffolk Counties, you will not have to worry about replacing them for years to come.

It Is Heat-Resistant

Marble is often utilized to keep living spaces cool, specifically in warmer regions. For instance, fireplaces have a marble construction because marble can withstand extreme temperatures without losing its aesthetic beauty. It’s incredibly heat-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor pavers and pool coping that stay in direct sunlight.

You can enjoy a cool floor underneath your feet even under direct sunlight if you get marble walkways, veneers, coping, and pavers. Moreover, the best part about marble pavers is that this material can also withstand extreme cold. It further enhances its functionality and durability.

It helps greatly when you step out of the pool with wet feet. You certainly don’t want a material for your swimming pool coping that will encourage skidding and slipping.

Since your patio is one of the places, you will likely use often, choosing a paver material that will look good makes sense. Marble checks that box as it is timelessly beautiful. Moreover, since it is free of artificial constructions, it does not stain and is easy to clean. That said, you must clean the surface immediately if it comes into contact with oils or acids. Apart from that, regular cleaning will keep your marble pavers and pool copings in Nassau & Suffolk Counties shiny and spotless.

Considerations:

  • Freeform pools are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles that can work with any backyard design.

Gappsi designed and built a freeform vinyl pool with sundeck using concrete walls. This backyard was designed and installed for a residence in Holbrook NY.  A sheer descent waterfall was created using a masonry structure and two columns on each end along with two Pentair water balls. The pool is 45 inches to 60 inches in the deep end. 

Sundecks | Tanning Ledges | Tanning Shelf

The pool features a sundeck with an umbrella and two lounge chairs. If you are building a new pool at home, we highly recommend a sun deck! A sun deck can be designed as an oversized step or two, or you can have it as an independent addition to the side of the pool. The sun deck is a great spot for kids to play or for you to lie under and relax. You can even install a bubbling fountain on the sun decks.

Sun decks are also referred to as ‘tanning shelf’, ‘tanning ledge’, or the ‘shallow section where adults and kids can relax and relieve their stress. Along with being useful, sun decks also have the potential to give your pool a stunning appearance. The highly creative team of experts at Gappsi Pools can custom design a sun deck for your pool according to your preferences.

For the patio and coping on your Free Form Vinyl Pool With Sundeck, we installed G043 marble pavers selected from the Gappsi Stone Collection. The wall for the water features was veneered with silver travertine split-faced and tumbled. The design and feel of the backyard display beautiful color variations. The patio was sealed with a color enhancer stone sealer too.

Private Practice on Your Synthetic Putting Greens

Work on your Short Game at home! We offer affordable professional-grade putting greens with creative undulation and design. Our putting greens give the golfer of any skill level the ability to simulate the feel and roll of true Bent Grass.

Gappsi installed and created a putting green behind the pool for the homeowner. They loved the look and feel of the synthetic grass so much that the remaining backyard grass was removed and synthetic turf replaced it.  Synthetic grass is a fantastic addition to your backyard.  Once installed in your yard you eliminate the need to cut the grass and spend money on a landscaper.  To check out additional options on Synthetic Turf check out our page on it.

Kid Friendly Backyard Ideas

Kid Friendly Backyard Ideas

g038 marble pavers

Playing outside and spending quality time enjoying nature is an essential part of childhood so designing a kid friendly backyard is important. It is an experience that many of us from a previous generation enjoyed far more easily than those born today.

When designing an outdoor space safety is a clear priority, but so are look, feel, and function. A kid scape only works when it is attractive, functional, and enjoyable to be in, otherwise, neither kids nor adults will use it.

Take a look at this makeover in Syosset where Gappsi designed a Kid Friendly Backyard. This makeover included:

G038 Marble Pavers Backyard Patio Design

Gappsi installed G038 marble pavers for the entire backyard patio design.  Gappsi designers chose a walnut travertine veneer for the walls and the sitting walls. This system is great for retaining walls, sitting walls, and columns that will show a more natural stone character.  The sitting wall is also a retaining wall to hold the flower bed between the pool and the basketball court.

Synthetic Turf Floor

Gappsi installed next synthetic turf floor.  Synthetic turf is UV stabilized to protect against color fading; unlike natural turf that will have to deal with diseases, drought, and dormancy, artificial grass has the benefits of looking great 24/7 all year long. It can also be used to spruce up spaces where it isn’t feasible to grow a lawn.

Often synthetic turf is promoted as environmentally friendly because homeowners do not have water, to fertilize or mow their lawns anymore, reducing emissions by no longer being dependent on gas-powered machines.

Maintenance is often said to be nonexistent for synthetic turf, but if homeowners do want their artificial turf to last as long as possible, there is some maintenance needed.

High-Quality Trampolines Everyone Will Love!

We provide high-quality in-ground, above-ground trampolines, and playground equipment. Let us help you find the perfect trampoline for your family. We’ve been creating safe and fun backyard memories for decades.

When getting ready to put a trampoline inground there are many things to consider. First, do you have space? Make sure you leave yourself adequate space around the trampoline with an enclosure should the kids land outside of the jumping area. You should give yourself at least 18ft overhead clearance and 6ft clearance on each side of the trampoline.

What makes our Trampolines Great?

  • Heavy-Duty Frames – provide stability, support, and safety; they also last longer.
  • The Bounce in the Springs – the more springs and the longer the spring length, the better the bounce experience. Stainless steel, tapered springs provide the longest lasting and best bouncing springs for trampolines.
  • The Jump Bed – Also referred to as the jump mat, this part of the trampoline is one area you don’t want to skimp. Made of a high-grade polypropylene material that is smooth to the touch, this is what handles all the tension and safely catches you after each bounce. The stitching surrounding the bed is critical for strength and durability and that is why all our jump beds have a minimum of 8 rows of stitching.
  • Safety Frame Pad – This important safety piece should be at least 1” thick and be in a UV-treated vinyl covering that will have low wear and long life. The pad should secure tightly and cover the frame and springs.

Kid-Friendly-Backyard-InGround-TrampolineSports Game Courts

Make your backyard an all-weather sports zone and a gathering place for family and friends with a multi Sports Game Court from Gappsi. Enjoy a setting where basketball, racquet sports, volleyball, shuffleboard, and more are all in play, and do so in a safe environment that provides you the peace of mind of knowing where your children are.

Gappsi backyard sports game courts feature the best of what our high-performance surfaces have to offer. This sports game court was designed on regulation asphalt.  Experience the game you love on a floor built with stress reduction in mind. Play with the same hoops system the pros use and set your children on a course of enjoying the games they love in the comfort and safety of their own backyard.
