Swimming Pool with Marble Pavers, Sundeck and Water Bubblers | Bellmore NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NYThis backyard swimming pool with marble pavers, sundeck, and water bubblers was designed and installed by Gappsi in Bellmore NY. 

Concrete Wall Pool with Vinyl Liner

We installed a 20×40 concrete wall vinyl pool. The liner is a textured liner, resembling a hydrazzo finish used in a gunite pool.  Touch and feel the difference in the fully textured and embossed designer vinyl liner!  A concrete wall vinyl pool is a process of binding a vinyl pool liner onto a concrete pool. The process involves cleaning and priming the concrete pool shell before adding the vinyl liner.  The liner is then sealed from top to bottom.  Thanks to the flexible nature of modern vinyl, the material can adapt to any pool size and shape.

The Benefits of Installing a Vinyl Liner on a Concrete Pool

  • Classy Vinyl Finish is popular with homeowners, large commercial pools, and professional swimming pools for the same reason.
  • Rejuvenates the appearance.
  • Older concrete pools are often plagued with cracks, stains, leaks, black spots of algae, or tiles falling off. Vinyl negates all of these issues while bringing a more modern appearance.
  • Vinyl is naturally resilient to algae
  • Vinyl liners need less maintenance

Old concrete pools can undergo a concrete pool renovation to add colorful tiles, but these will inevitably fade and fall off.

Switching to vinyl allows for a wide range of colors and styles. There’s a vinyl pool liner to suit any pool area. Choose from tropical blues, dark stone colors, modern sandstone, and textured finishes.

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY2Why Marble is the Perfect Outdoor Paver – Gappsi Natural Stone Collection

Marble tiles are heat resistant, anyone walking around the pool area will keep their feet cool and thus be less likely to injure themselves from the sun’s heat. This is an important consideration if you have children and the elderly living with you.

We used G043 marble pavers selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection and two-inch coping. The pool edge and the autocover box used G043.

Marble pavers are practical, durable, versatile, elegant, and majestic.  They are a worthy investment for any home pool surrounds, outdoor areas like patios, steps, staircases, and even driveways.

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY1Sundeck and Water Bubblers Benfits

The pool has a gradual slope from 43 inches to 56 inches. We built a sundeck in the shallow area with 12 inches of water in the sundeck and two bubblers.  The two bubblers in the sundeck work as a water feature. They also create waves in the pool making the entire pool a water feature.  The height of the bubbler can adjust to work lower or higher for different effects. We also installed LED lights on one side of the pool shining away from the house.  The lights change color in the evening adding ambiance to the yard.

Water features, like fountains and waterfalls, can add a touch of luxury to your poolscape. Water features can be added to sun shelves or built into the pool.

Benefits of Adding a Sun Shelf to Your Swimming Pool

  1. Extra space for relaxing and entertaining
  2. A place for little ones to play
  3. Greater swimming pool accessibility
  4. Increased pool usage
  5. Enhanced pool aesthetics

Electric Swimming-Pool Safety Auto-CoversPool Safty Auto Covers

This pool is equipped with a safety auto cover.  Automatic safety covers are intended for daily use instead of only seasonal usage.  As warm weather approaches use the auto cover to have warmer water.  The heavy vinyl cover not only traps heat in the water, but as a large surface area for the sun to hit, it helps keep your water warmer. This can be more than just comfortable, it can be economical. A naturally warmer pool needs less heating, reducing your cost of ownership.

What other covers can only offer in the winter- automatic safety covers offer every day.

There is no safer way to cover your pool than with the daily use of an automatic safety cover! These covers ensure that all the sides of the pool are sealed preventing any entry into the pool resulting in extreme peace of mind whenever your pool is not in use.

Safety Covers minimize evaporation daily and can help lower water bills throughout a swimming season. You will not have to add water to the pool to account for the lost volume!

Swimming-Pool-with-Marble-Pavers,-Sundeck-and-Water-Bubblers--Bellmore-NY3Auto covers also help to keep your pool clean much more often and by keeping dirt and debris out of your pool regularly, you have the additional added benefits of:

  • Reducing the need to run your filtration system (energy saving!)
  • Decreasing the expense/usage of chemicals & chlorine required to keep your pool clean
  • Using a pool cover can reduce a pool’s chemical consumption by 35 – 60%
  • Dramatically reducing the costs of service routines by needing them less often

To complete the backyard Gappsi in addition veneered the stoop with quartz stone.  We used G043 marble pavers and veneered the edge of the steps. This is the latest Gappsi backyard pool and patio design installation in Bellmore Nassau County NY.

Hydrazzo Pool Finish: Pros, Cons, and Colors

Posted by Gappsi Group on

The color of your pool water sets the entire mood for your backyard. It can be a crisp, light blue, a deep sapphire, or a serene gray-green. This color isn’t from a dye; it’s created by the way light reflects off the pool’s interior surface. While traditional plaster offers limited options, a Hydrazzo pool finish opens up a world of design possibilities. With over 15 unique color blends, its variegated appearance creates a stunning, natural look with incredible depth. This allows you to customize the aesthetic of your oasis, ensuring your pool perfectly complements your home and landscaping.

Hydrazzo-Pool-Plaster-In-Gulfstream-Blue2Pool Bubbler and Hydrazzo Pool Plaster in Gulfstream Blue color were chosen for the plaster to finish the interior of the pool for this backyard design in Commack, NY.  Hydrazzo offers a silky smooth texture, combined with the proven durability of exposed aggregates, which are two prime features of this state-of-the-art pool finish.

Polished Pool Finishes

Polished marble consists of blended white marble aggregates, graded color aggregates, and other composites.  When the materials are combined it achieves a silky smooth, yet non-slip, finish. Popular for “entertainment pools” and spas, the Hydrazzo® line is highly sought after for its luxurious feel.

The polished pool surface creates a finish unlike any other pool plaster available on the market today; it is naturally resistant to spot etching, topical stains, permanent scale & algae adhesion.

Some of the most beautiful pools in the world are surfaced with the hand-polished magic of Hydrazzo. It is the smoothest, richest, and most luxurious surface available. Hydrazzo combines naturally beautiful coarse-graded crystalline and colored marble, along with white Portland cement and a host of other performance-enhancing ingredients. The results are like no other.

A Closer Look at Hydrazzo Specifications

When you’re choosing a finish for your swimming pool, the details really matter. You want something that not only looks stunning but also feels great and stands the test of time. Hydrazzo checks all those boxes, and its unique specifications are what set it apart. From a rich palette of colors that can define your backyard’s entire mood to the high-quality materials that ensure its longevity, this finish is engineered for luxury and durability. Let’s get into the specifics of what makes Hydrazzo a top-tier choice for homeowners who want the best for their swimming pools and outdoor living spaces.

Available Hydrazzo Colors

One of the most exciting parts of designing a pool is choosing the water color, and the finish you select plays the biggest role in that. Hydrazzo offers a beautiful selection of over 15 unique colors, giving you plenty of options to create the exact look you’re dreaming of. Each color has a natural, variegated appearance, which means the finish isn’t just a flat, single tone. Instead, it has subtle variations and depth that make your pool look like a natural body of water. This allows the finish to complement any style of poolscape, whether you’re aiming for a modern, minimalist vibe or a lush, tropical retreat. The right color can tie your entire backyard design together, from the patio stones to the landscaping.

Popular choices like Arctic White, Catalina Blue, and Hatteras Gray

With so many options, it helps to look at a few favorites. Arctic White creates a crisp, classic look that makes the water appear a brilliant, light blue on a sunny day. For a deeper, more dramatic effect, Catalina Blue gives the water a rich, sapphire tone that feels like a luxurious private lagoon. If you’re leaning toward a more contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic, Hatteras Gray is an excellent choice, providing a serene, slate-blue hue that is both calming and incredibly chic. These popular choices showcase the versatility of the Hydrazzo line, offering a perfect starting point for envisioning your own backyard oasis.

Technical Product Information

The beauty of a Hydrazzo finish isn’t just skin deep; its durability comes from its unique composition. As the very first polished pool finish developed in the industry, it has a track record of over 20 years of proven performance. The formula combines coarse-graded crystalline and colored marble with white Portland cement and other performance-enhancing ingredients. This special blend is precisely what creates the signature silky-smooth texture that feels so incredible. It’s hand-polished on-site to achieve that luxurious feel while maintaining the strength and resilience of an exposed aggregate surface. This meticulous process ensures your pool finish is not only beautiful but also built to last for years of enjoyment.

How Hydrazzo Compares to Other Finishes

Hydrazzo vs. Durazzo

When you’re deciding on a pool finish, Hydrazzo and Durazzo often come up as top contenders, and for good reason. Hydrazzo is celebrated for its incredibly luxurious, silky-smooth texture. It’s made from a blend of white marble and colored aggregates that are polished down to create a surface that feels gentle on your skin and swimsuits. This makes it a fantastic choice if comfort and a high-end feel are at the top of your list. It’s the kind of finish that transforms a simple swim into a more spa-like experience, offering both beauty and the proven durability of exposed aggregates.

On the other hand, Durazzo is primarily known for its exceptional toughness and resistance to common pool problems like staining and discoloration. It’s a robust finish designed to handle years of use while looking great. While both options are durable, the choice often comes down to your main priority. If you want a finish that combines a stunning, variegated appearance with a uniquely smooth feel, Hydrazzo is an excellent pick. Our team at Gappsi often helps homeowners weigh these factors to select the perfect finish for their custom swimming pools, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and practical for their lifestyle.

How Long Does Hydrazzo Pool Plaster Last?

Its life expectancy is 15 to 20 years and offers one of the smoothest finishes you can achieve and comes in a variety of colors, and it is also the hardest.

Toughness Without Roughness!

The secret to the Hydrazzo finish is the final step: polishing the surface to a brilliant luster, thereby unlocking the marble’s natural beauty and extraordinary strength. The color is breathtaking, achieving a soothing, color-intensifying effect. Hydrazzo is the “smooth sensation” in exposed aggregate pool finishes, friendly to fingers, toes, and swimsuits.

Pool Bubbler Design Ideas, Inspiration & Considerations.  

Pool bubblers are a popular water feature for many pool owners, because of the tranquility and peace created by the water.  It also helps the Pool Bubbletrs are attractive to look at too!  We see a request for pool bubblers also when there is a spa attached to the pool. Bubblers are small fountains that create water columns in shallow areas of your pool. They are commonly used on shallow shelves, spas, and pool steps. Below, I’ll walk through some of the main benefits and watch-outs of pool bubblers.

Main Benefits

Outside of being pretty to look at, bubblers provide a few additional benefits for your pool.

  • Sound Blocking – Bubblers can be a great sound blocker for noisy neighbors or a busy street in front of your house. The rush of the water has a wonderful calming effect, much like a waterfall or spillover.
  • Cooling Down Water – Bubblers and many other water features are also great for cooling down your pool water. The rush of the water out of the column keeps your pool water moving, introducing oxygen into your water and reducing the temperature. This is a blessing for those shallow pool areas if you live in a hot climate. Bubblers can help keep that water cool and enjoyable.
  • Aesthetics – When it comes to design, the surrounding environment of your pool is almost as important as the pool itself. If you have a lot of natural landscaping around your pool, bubblers can be a great way to keep that zen feeling that your trees and other greenery help establish.

Hydrazzo-Pool-Plaster-In-Gulfstream-BlueTypes of Swimming Pool Bubblers

Bubblers don’t really come in too many varieties. You can have different water stream widths and color lighting or automation.

Marble Stone Pavers And Pool Coping Commack NY

Gappsi designed a backyard in Commack NY that included a gunite swimming pool that was 20×40.  The pool design included a sundeck and a built-in spa. We installed 2 pool bubblers on the sundeck and 4 jets on the bench along the 44 ft side of the pool and in front of the spa as well.

Our team installed glass tiles to outline the edge of the spa bench, the steps, and the sundeck. The plaster to finish the interior of the pool is the Hydrazzo Gulfstream quartz color and the interior is finished with an acid wash and then polished.  The pool is also equipped with an autocover in charcoal gray. The patio installation consists of G038 marble pavers selected from the Gappsi stone collection and marble coping 2 inches thick for the pool coping and the spa coping. This was a very large patio to install. The steps were accented with gray pavers as well as the bench and the column. The bench, column, and steps were accented with gray pavers this is another beautifully designed project installed by Gappsi.

Installation and Long-Term Care

The Importance of Proper Application and Honing

Getting that signature Hydrazzo look isn’t just about the material itself; it’s about the craftsmanship behind the installation. As the original polished pool finish, Hydrazzo has a unique final step that sets it apart: a meticulous polishing process. This isn’t just a top coat; it’s a technique that hones the surface to a brilliant luster, which is what reveals the marble’s inherent strength and silky-smooth feel. This crucial step is why professional installation is so important. When you build a pool with experienced technicians, you ensure the finish is applied and polished correctly, guaranteeing the durability and luxurious texture that Hydrazzo is famous for. It’s this expert touch that transforms the raw materials into a stunning, resilient surface.

Maintaining the Silky-Smooth Texture

One of the best things about a Hydrazzo finish is its longevity and relatively simple upkeep. It’s specifically designed for lower maintenance, resisting common issues like stains and algae growth. But what really makes it a smart long-term investment is its restorability. Over years of use, if the surface ever begins to feel less smooth, it doesn’t require a complete overhaul. Instead, the finish can be re-polished to bring it right back to its original, brand-new feel and appearance. This ability to restore the surface is a significant advantage, saving you time and money down the road. It ensures your pool remains a beautiful, timeless centerpiece of your backyard for many years to come.

Potential Considerations with a Hydrazzo Finish

Hydrazzo is an absolutely stunning choice for a pool finish, offering a level of luxury and smoothness that’s hard to match. But like any premium home improvement material, it’s wise to go in with a full understanding of what to expect. Thinking through the investment and long-term care ensures you’ll be happy with your decision for years to come. These aren’t drawbacks, but rather important points to consider as you plan your dream pool. Being informed is the first step to a successful project, and it helps you appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into creating such a beautiful and durable surface for your backyard oasis.

Understanding the Upfront Cost

There’s no getting around it—Hydrazzo is a premium, high-end finish, and its price reflects that. The upfront cost is typically higher than what you might see for a standard plaster or a more basic aggregate finish. This is because it uses high-quality materials, including polished marble aggregates, and involves a specialized, multi-step application process that requires a high degree of skill. Think of it as an investment in long-term beauty and durability. While the initial number might be bigger, the finish is designed to last 15 to 20 years with proper care, making it a cost-effective choice over its entire lifespan. A professional team can walk you through a detailed quote so you know exactly where your investment is going.

Finish Sensitivity and Maintenance Needs

One of the most common questions about Hydrazzo is how it holds up over time. While incredibly durable, the silky-smooth texture can be sensitive to its environment. Improper water chemistry, particularly in saltwater systems, or significant temperature shifts can sometimes cause the surface to feel less smooth over the years. This doesn’t mean it’s fragile, but it does mean that consistent maintenance is key. Staying on top of your pool’s chemical balance and following a routine care schedule will go a long way in preserving that signature polished feel. Working with experienced pool professionals who understand the nuances of a Hydrazzo finish can help you protect your investment and keep it feeling brand new.

Toughness Without Roughness!

So, how does Hydrazzo manage to be so strong yet so smooth? The secret is in the final step of the installation process: polishing. After the material is applied, the surface is meticulously polished to a brilliant luster. This technique doesn’t just make it look beautiful; it hones the marble aggregates and other components, creating an incredibly dense and strong surface. This process is what unlocks the material’s natural durability and gives it that “toughness without roughness” quality. It’s a finish that’s gentle on your skin and swimsuits but tough enough to stand up to years of fun in the sun.

How to Restore a Rough Finish

If you do notice your Hydrazzo finish losing some of its smoothness over time, don’t panic. One of the biggest advantages of this material is that it can be restored without needing a complete overhaul. Unlike other finishes that might require being completely chipped out and replaced, a Hydrazzo surface can often be brought back to life. A professional can simply re-polish the surface, removing any minor imperfections and bringing back that original silky texture and brilliant shine. This ability to restore the finish makes it a truly sustainable and valuable long-term choice for your pool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Hydrazzo different from a standard plaster pool finish? Think of it as the difference between a basic paint job and a hand-polished marble countertop. Standard plaster is a simple, one-note surface. Hydrazzo is crafted from a blend of high-quality marble aggregates and cement that is meticulously hand-polished on-site. This final polishing step is what creates its signature silky-smooth feel while also making the surface incredibly dense and durable.

Is a smooth finish like Hydrazzo slippery to walk on? It’s a common question, but the answer is no. While the finish feels incredibly smooth and luxurious to the touch, it’s not slippery underfoot. The composition of the polished aggregates provides a safe, non-slip surface. This makes it an excellent choice for every part of your pool, including steps, benches, and shallow sun shelves where you and your family will be walking.

How do I choose a Hydrazzo color to get the water look I want? The color of the finish directly creates the color of your water. To get that classic, crisp light-blue pool, a white-based finish like Arctic White is a great choice. If you’re dreaming of a deep, sapphire-toned lagoon, a darker finish like Catalina Blue will get you there. For a more modern, serene look, a gray finish can create a beautiful slate-blue water color. We always suggest looking at samples and considering how the color will complement your patio stone and landscaping.

What does long-term maintenance look like for a Hydrazzo pool? One of the best parts of a Hydrazzo finish is that it’s designed for lower maintenance. Its dense, polished surface naturally resists algae growth and staining better than traditional plaster. The most important task is simply maintaining proper water chemistry. Consistent, balanced water is the key to preserving that smooth texture and vibrant color for its entire 15 to 20-year lifespan.

What happens if the finish starts to feel rough after several years? This is where Hydrazzo truly stands out. Unlike other finishes that might need to be completely chipped out and replaced, a Hydrazzo surface can be restored. If years of use or inconsistent water chemistry cause any roughness, a professional can re-polish the existing surface. This process brings it right back to its original silky-smooth feel and brilliant appearance, extending the life of your investment.

Key Takeaways

  • Prioritize Comfort with a Silky-Smooth Finish: Hydrazzo uses polished marble aggregates to create a luxurious surface that’s incredibly gentle on your skin and swimsuits, setting it apart from rougher plaster alternatives.
  • Count on a Finish That Lasts and Renews: This durable surface is designed to last 15-20 years and can be re-polished down the road to restore its original luster, making it a smart, sustainable investment for your pool.
  • Define Your Backyard’s Vibe with Color: Your pool’s finish determines the water color, and with over 15 variegated blends, you can create a custom look—from a crisp light blue to a deep sapphire—that perfectly complements your home’s style.

Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-CoversThe benefits of owning a swimming pool equipped with Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers are many. Homeowners in the market looking to purchase a swimming pool sometimes are not educated by their pool contractors.  Most often they focus on items that are less important for the large investment. A safety auto-cover is one item.  The benefits it offers far surpass the cost of buying one, you just need to educate yourself on them. Often consumers don’t purchase it mainly because the contractor does not take the time to educate the consumer on the benefits a safe electric auto-cover offers.

At Gappsi, as experienced pool builders and residential outdoor living designers and builders.  We have incorporated and built many backyards with swimming pools equipped with automatic retractable safety pool covers. We have calculated that operating and owning a swimming pool without an auto-cover is.  It would cost more than paying principal and financing charges if you have to get financing to install a safety auto-cover on your new swimming pool.

An automatic pool cover is a reliable and convenient way to keep your family safe around the pool.  It also is helpful in preserving its water level, chemistry, and heat for longer.

These retractable electric pool covers are effective safety barriers for your children, prevent debris from falling into your pool, and reduce your maintenance and heating costs. With a simple turn of a key or touch of a button, your warm, clean pool will be ready to go for a fun day of swimming.

Heat, Water, and Chemical Retention

While protecting your children is always our top priority, our automatic pool covers do so much more. We use a special fabric and webbing inside the track to insulate your pool

This insulation helps to prevent evaporation and loss of heat. With these covers, you won’t need to top off your pool water quite as often, and the water will stay warmer for longer. This helps you operate your heater more efficiently and keep the pool at a comfortable swimming temperature for a much longer swimming season!

Gappsi retractable pool covers are also opaque, and completely block out sunlight while the pool is closed. Sunlight exposure makes sanitizing chemicals like chlorine break down more quickly in the water, as well as contributes to the growth of algae.

Building a New Pool or Have an Existing pool? Does your pool qualify for an automatic pool cover based on your pool shape and layout?

  • New Build – Yes ✔

If you are building a new pool, you can incorporate an automatic pool cover into your build.

  • Existing Pool – Maybe?

It will depend on your pool’s shape and deck layout. Read more about the system below to see if your existing pool can accommodate one.

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-Covers1Examples of Pools that CANNOT have automatic covers:

  • Raised Walls (some exceptions can be made, see pools that can have auto covers)
  • Spas that stick up higher than the pool height
  • The deck is not one level – end to end.
  • Raised Rocks/ Dive Rocks at the edge of the pool

Examples of Pools that CAN have automatic covers:

  • One Level from End to End
  • No Changes in Elevation

Other Pool Cover Options

While an electric pool cover for your inground pool is a great option that we highly recommend, we know it is not always the ideal solution for every pool. Other great options are available, including mesh safety covers, pool safety nets, and pool safety fences, which all provide their own unique benefits for you and your loved ones.

Winterizing Automatic Retractable Safety Pool Covers

Although during the winter your pool cover requires less attention, water and/or snow will build up on the cover. If the water level in the pool is not properly maintained, serious damage to the cover can occur. Properly maintaining a pool’s water level prevents excess weight on the top surface of the cover that can cause damage to the cover system.

During the winter, make at least monthly inspections of the pool’s water level and make sure the cover pump is operating properly so that water on top of the cover does not build up. Even a few inches of water on top of the cover is an enormous weight and can pull the cover and guide it into the pool. In situations where the water level is too low, you should add water to the pool immediately to better support the water or ice that is on the cover. Your cover will survive any normal winter if these simple precautions are taken.

Make sure your water is chemically balanced before covering the pool for extended periods of time. Double-check the water after the chemicals had a chance to mix completely. This may require checking the pool water a day or two after chemicals have been added. When covering the pool for long periods of time, turn down ozone generators and chemical feeders to their lowest level. The constant long-term build-up of ozone can damage the fabric. Place the cover pump on the cover to remove melted snow.

Automatic-Retractable-Safety-Pool-Covers2Vinyl Pool With AutoCover and Large Natural Stone Pool Pavers

Located in Brightwaters Long Island Gappsi added to an existing 16 x 34 vinyl liner pool built with concrete walls.  We built a sundeck on one side of the pool and steps across the entire sundeck with a bench on each side of the stairs. Additionally, we installed two water bubblers on the sundeck and led lights in the pool. Gappsi installed the automatic retractable safety pool covers for the homeowner too.

The patio consists of G045 limestone selected from the Gappsi stone collection roman pattern for the patio and rock-faced tumbled coping for the pool edges. We also built a gas fire pit for the family to enjoy. The wall is veneered with natural stones and the coping is matching to the pool coping with the G045 2 inches of rock-faced and tumbled coping.  Latest backyard design and installation by Gappsi.

Gunite pool and travertine patio East Islip NY

Gunite pool and travertine patio East Islip NY  We completed this project about 4years ago. We installed a new gunite pool 16×36 with a bluestone coping, auto cover and a fiorito travertine patio. The pool has a sundeck.  We have lined the steps edges with glass tiles. You can see they reflect light from one side. The pool is a sports pool. The deep end of the pool is the center. This side we have corner stairs. There is a bar area with stools inside the pool. In the lower patio area, chairs can be used as stools on the outside.  This is a sunken fire pit area with a bench and gas fire pit. On this we have a semi raised patio. The property slopes so the pool was built a step down from the original house patio. This is a gas fire pit used more as an accent and this is also a sitting area.
