One of the most important aspects of a putting green installation is the choice of turf. Gappsi takes this element very seriously. Using only the highest-quality synthetic grass designed for durability, realistic ball roll, and minimal maintenance.

For this Center Island project, Gappsi installed three different types of turf.  This serves a unique purpose to replicate the feel and function of a professional golf course:

  1. Trim Turf for Outer Edges and Hills – This turf type provides a clean, polished border and mimics the natural transition you’d find on a real course. Designed to handle slight elevation changes, this feature adds depth and texture to the landscape.
  2. Lighter Turf Fringe – A defining feature of this installation, the fringe creates a smooth transition between the outer trim turf and the putting surface. Its lighter color not only adds visual contrast but also improves playability by simulating the approach areas found around real putting greens.
  3. Putting Green Turf At the heart of the installation is the putting surface itself, crafted with specialized turf that delivers consistent roll, speed, and realism. This surface, designed to replicate the feel of a professional green, allows golfers to practice with precision.

The combination of these three turf types ensures that every part of the green, from approach to cup, mimics the conditions of a professional golf course while remaining low-maintenance and weather-resistant.

Designed for Play: Flags, Cups, and Sand Bunkers

No putting green is complete without the finishing touches that make it feel like the real thing. Gappsi’s installation includes three flags and cups, carefully positioned to create multiple putting scenarios. These targets enable players to practice various angles, distances, and techniques, thereby improving accuracy, control, and confidence.

To elevate the realism even further, the Gappsi team installed two sand bunkers, one on each side of the green. These features don’t just add visual appeal; they also provide valuable short-game practice. Golfers can work on bunker shots, chip outs, and approaches, all without leaving home.

Expert Turf Selection for Superior PlayabilityThe placement of the bunkers and cups was strategically designed to offer a range of difficulty levels, ensuring the space is both fun and functional for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to seasoned players fine-tuning their short game.

A Custom Putting Green Installation with a View

What truly sets this installation apart is its breathtaking location. Situated next to the beach, the putting green offers panoramic waterfront views, transforming every practice session into a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The natural light, open sky, and gentle sound of waves create a relaxing atmosphere that makes this backyard more than just a place to golf; it’s a retreat.

This scenic backdrop also makes the space ideal for entertaining. Imagine hosting summer gatherings where friends and family can practice their putting while enjoying the view. Or picture quiet mornings spent perfecting your game before the day begins. With a setting like this, the putting green becomes a focal point of outdoor living.

Low Maintenance, High Performance Synthetic Turf

One of the many advantages of Gappsi’s synthetic putting greens is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass, which demands regular mowing, watering, fertilizing, and pest control, synthetic turf stays pristine year-round with minimal effort.

This means homeowners can spend more time enjoying their putting green and less time maintaining it. The surface remains consistent in all weather conditions and is designed to last for many years without fading, compacting, or losing performance quality. Even the sand bunkers are built for durability and easy upkeep, ensuring the space always looks and plays like new.

How to Clean and Maintain Pet Synthetic Turf

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of How to Clean and Maintain Pet Synthetic Turf;  Sanitizes and Deodorizes Your Dog Run in Smithtown, N.Y by Gappsi

Do you know how to clean and maintain pet synthetic turf?  Learn how Gappsi sanitizes and deodorizes your dog run in Smithtown, N.Y.

Pet owners who choose synthetic turf for their backyards often do so because of its durability, cleanliness, and low maintenance requirements. At a residence in Smithtown, NY, Gappsi recently completed the installation of a pet-friendly synthetic turf.  Designed for a family that breeds dogs. This family has a designated dog run area beside their patio.  It includes not only turf but also a secure cage for training sessions and temporary confinement when necessary.

The synthetic turf installed at this residence is 100% permeable, allowing liquids to pass through easily, which is essential for dog runs. It’s a short-pile, easy-to-clean surface engineered specifically for high-use pet applications. However, as with any space frequently used by animals, routine maintenance is crucial to ensure the area remains clean and odor-free.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the simple process of cleaning and maintaining your synthetic turf using Gappsi’s new Italian-made cleaning product, whether you have a similar dog run or want to keep your artificial lawn fresh and clean.  These steps will help you maintain a safe, pleasant environment for both pets and people.

Why Pet Turf Maintenance Is Important

Synthetic turf, especially in areas designated for dogs, can accumulate bacteria and odors over time. Even the best drainage can’t eliminate the lingering smell of pet urine or the buildup of waste particles. For dog breeders, pet lovers, or anyone with an active dog run, regular sanitation is essential to prevent odor, bacterial growth, and discoloration of the turf.

This is especially true when multiple dogs share the same area, such as at the Smithtown property. Maintaining a clean turf area promotes the health of the animals and ensures a more pleasant overall backyard environment.

Introducing Our New Turf Cleaner: Safe, Effective, and Italian-Made

To solve the everyday challenges of pet turf maintenance, Gappsi now offers a new cleaning and deodorizing solution manufactured in Italy. This powerful product is specially designed to sanitize and deodorize synthetic turf without the use of harsh chemicals. It’s safe for both humans and pets, making it the perfect solution for families, breeders, and pet care professionals.

What sets this cleaner apart is its natural composition and effectiveness. It doesn’t mask odors, it eliminates them while also killing bacteria that might be growing on or beneath the turf fibers. It’s safe and biodegradable, and it’s an environmentally responsible choice as well.

How to Apply the Synthetic Turf Cleaner

Using the Gappsi turf cleaner is quick and straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you maintain your synthetic turf:

1. How to Mix the Solution

You’ll need a garden sprayer or similar tool to apply the cleaner. Mix one part of the cleaning solution with four parts cold water. This dilution is strong enough to effectively sanitize and deodorize the turf without causing damage to the fibers or the drainage system.

2. How to Spray the Turf

Once the solution is mixed, lightly spray it evenly across the turf surface. There’s no need to saturate the area; a light, even coating is all that’s required. A gallon of diluted cleaner should cover approximately 1,000 square feet of turf, which makes this method both cost-effective and efficient.

3. Let the Cleaner Sit

After spraying, allow the cleaner to sit on the turf for at least one hour. This contact time is crucial for the active ingredients to break down odors, eliminate bacteria, and leave your turf smelling fresh.

4. When to Rinse the Area

After one hour, rinse the turf with a light spray of water. There’s no need to pressure wash the turf.  A gentle rinse is enough to remove the cleaner and any debris it has lifted. Thanks to the turf’s permeability, the solution and rinse water will drain away naturally, leaving the surface clean and dry within minutes.

how-to-clean-and-maintain-pet-synthetic-turf1How to Maintain Your Pet Synthetic Turf – Should You Clean Your Turf?

For residential backyards with moderate dog activity, applying the cleaner once a year may be sufficient. However, in high-use areas, such as dog runs or breeder yards like the Smithtown installation, weekly application is recommended. This frequent cleaning ensures the area remains sanitary and odor-free, even with multiple dogs using the space daily.

This is not an expensive process; keeping up with weekly maintenance won’t break the bank. Many homeowners choose to incorporate it into their routine backyard cleaning, making it as normal as watering plants or picking up waste.

Where to Get the Turf Cleaner

The Gappsi turf cleaning solution is available for purchase at the Gappsi showroom. Our team is happy to provide instructions on how to use the product, demonstrate the proper dilution method, and answer any questions you may have about maintaining synthetic turf for dogs or general use.

Benefits of Using Gappsi’s Synthetic Turf Maintenance System

  • Pet & People Friendly: The cleaner is non-toxic and safe for both animals and humans.
  • Cost-Effective: A little goes a long way — one gallon of diluted solution can cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
  • Fast & Easy Application: No special equipment or professional service required.
  • Efficient Maintenance: Prevents odor buildup, eliminates bacteria, and prolongs the life of your turf.
  • Perfect for All Synthetic Turf: Whether you use your turf for pets, recreation, or landscaping, this product keeps it fresh and clean.

Clean and Maintain Pet Synthetic Turf

Maintaining a clean and odor-free synthetic turf area doesn’t have to be a chore, especially when you have the right tools and products. For pet owners and breeders like the family in Smithtown, NY, Gappsi’s pet turf solution provides an easy and effective way to ensure their dogs have a safe, sanitary environment year-round.

Whether your turf is used daily by dogs or just occasionally, investing a small amount of time each week or month into cleaning will keep it looking great and functioning at its best.

Old Tennis Court Conversion with Mateflex Sports Tiles – A Modern Sports Surface Transformation in East Meadow, NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Old Tennis Court Conversion with Mateflex Sports Tiles – A Modern Sports Surface Transformation in East Meadow, NY.

Look at this old Tennis court conversion with Mateflex sports tiles.  It takes on a modern sports surface and transforms it in East Meadow, NY.  In today’s ever-evolving world of recreational spaces, the demand for versatile, low-maintenance, and professional-looking sports surfaces is on the rise. Whether for residential enjoyment or community enhancement, an upgraded sports game court can dramatically boost the aesthetic, usability, and value of a property. One excellent example of this transformation is the latest project completed by Gappsi in East Meadow, NY.  The conversion of an old asphalt tennis court to a Mateflex Sports Tiles installation.

The Starting Point: An Aging Asphalt Tennis Court Conversion

This project began with a classic tennis court that had seen better days. The surface, originally asphalt, had developed numerous cracks.  Also, it had uneven patches and faded coloring due to years of exposure to weather and use. While the structure was still fundamentally sound, the playing surface required serious attention.  To return it to a playable and visually appealing condition.

Gappsi’s team began by preparing the court’s foundation. Every crack and patch was meticulously repaired, and the entire court was resurfaced. This process was vital in ensuring the Mateflex tiles would have a smooth and even base to sit on, which is crucial for both performance and longevity.

old-tennis-court-conversion-with-mateflex-sports-tiles2The Upgrade: Mateflex Sports Tiles

Once the asphalt surface was repaired correctly and leveled, it was time to install the Mateflex tiles. Mateflex is a top-tier modular sports flooring system.  It is renowned for its exceptional durability, superior shock absorption, and exceptional performance. These tiles are often the go-to choice for both indoor and outdoor courts.  They provide a professional-grade surface that’s easier on athletes’ joints while also being resistant to weathering.

Each Mateflex tile is one square foot in size and cleverly divided into 16 smaller sub-tiles, each connected by expansion joints. This unique design allows the surface to flex slightly with temperature changes and pressure without cracking or buckling. This feature extends the life of the court and enhances the player experience by offering a cushioned yet firm surface to move on

Design and Color Scheme for the Tennis Court Conversion

The aesthetic transformation of the court is striking. The outer perimeter of the court was outfitted in green tiles, giving the court a lush, natural border.  The central inlay, the primary tennis playing surface, was done in a bold blue. This high-contrast color combination is not only visually pleasing but also improves visibility for players and spectators.

The court was then professionally striped with regulation white lines for tennis, and yellow lines for two pickleball sports game courts—one on each side of the tennis net. The dual functionality of this court design is one of the standout features of the tennis court conversion. Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. Integrating its play area into the tennis court adds tremendous value.

old-tennis-court-conversion-with-mateflex-sports-tiles1Dual Sport Versatility: Tennis and Pickleball Sports Game Courts

One of the most innovative features of this upgraded court is its multi-sport functionality. While the primary use remains tennis, the yellow-striped pickleball courts offer additional usability. Each pickleball court sits on either side of the tennis net, and players can use removable pickleball nets that can be easily installed and taken down when switching between games.

This versatile setup enables homeowners or facility managers to cater to various types of players and age groups, eliminating the need for separate courts. Whether it’s a competitive tennis match or a fun, social game of pickleball, this court is designed to handle it all.

Clean Edges and Finishing Touches

To complete the transformation, Gappsi added a one-foot-wide strip of synthetic turf around the entire perimeter of the court. This wasn’t just a decorative touch; it served a practical purpose. The old perimeter fencing of the court was no longer perfectly aligned, and the turf created a clean visual break between the new playing surface and the aging fence. It softened the overall appearance and made the installation look polished and intentional.

This thoughtful detail elevates the court from a simple resurfacing project to a professional-grade sports facility. The synthetic turf perimeter creates a seamless visual transition, making the court feel enclosed and unified.

Precision Installation for the Tennis Court Conversion

Installing Mateflex tiles isn’t just a matter of snapping them together. After laying out and aligning the tiles, the Gappsi team stretched the entire court and secured it with stainless steel screws. This not only ensures that the tiles stay perfectly in place during heavy use but also allows for minimal movement with changing weather conditions. Stainless steel screws were explicitly chosen for their durability and resistance to rust, especially in outdoor conditions.

The installation reflects Gappsi’s meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship. Every element from surface preparation and color selection to line striping and fastening was handled with precision.

Why Choose a Mateflex Sports Tile Conversion?

Converting old asphalt or concrete sports game courts into modern surfaces using Mateflex tiles is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to rejuvenate recreational areas. Unlike complete tear-downs, a Mateflex installation utilizes the existing structure, thereby reducing labor costs and minimizing environmental waste. In just a short time, an outdated and cracked court can be turned into a vibrant, multi-functional sports zone.

Mateflex tiles also offer year-round playability and easy maintenance. Their open-grid design helps with drainage and prevents water buildup, allowing players to return to the court shortly after a rain. The tiles are also UV-stable, meaning they won’t fade over time, keeping the court looking great for years to come.

Transforming Unused Space into a Backyard Paradise: Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court Installation in Melville, NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of A Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court Installation in Melville, NY

Transforming an unused space into a backyard paradise for a Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court.  At Gappsi, we take pride in transforming underutilized and challenging spaces into functional, beautiful outdoor retreats. Our most recent project in Melville, NY, is a prime example of how innovative design and expert craftsmanship can transform even the most challenging terrain into a recreational haven. In this case, we transformed a sloped, unused portion of a backyard into a state-of-the-art sports game court area, featuring a custom bocce ball court and a premium shuffleboard court.

The Vision: Making Use of Challenging Terrain

The homeowners had a large section of their backyard that was significantly sloped and essentially unused. Rather than letting the space go to waste, they approached us with the idea of turning it into a multi-use recreational area. Our team took on the challenge.  We set out to design and construct a bocce ball and shuffleboard court that would not only look great but also stand the test of time.

Site Preparation and Leveling for Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard Court1-bocce-court-and-shuffle-sport-game-courts-melville-ny

One of the first and most crucial steps in this project involved leveling the sloped terrain. Before any courts could be installed, we had to create a flat, stable foundation that would support the structure and ensure longevity and usability. To accomplish this, we built a strong retaining wall using railroad tiles. These heavy-duty, aesthetically pleasing wooden ties helped reinforce the outer perimeter while also supporting the newly leveled land within.

The retaining wall played a dual role: it created a boundary for the courts. It provided the necessary structural integrity to the area, making it safe and durable for years to come.

Bocce Ball Court Construction: Precision and Style

The bocce ball court is a masterpiece of both form and function. We constructed it using synthetic walls, which offer several advantages over traditional wooden or metallic materials. One significant benefit is that there are no exposed screws, resulting in a sleek, seamless appearance for the court. More importantly, the materials used are designed to be highly durable, ensuring that the court will not wear out over time or fade in color due to sun exposure or weather.

Polymeric Sand Installation

The playing surface is made from a high-quality synthetic turf imported directly from Italy. We chose this specific turf not only for its durability and realistic feel but also because it is explicitly designed for bocce play. The turf is topped with a green infill, and we added clean white striping to define the court lines, enhancing both playability and visual appeal.

Shuffleboard Court Construction: Eco-Friendly and Elegant

Adjacent to the bocce court is a professionally installed shuffleboard court, providing another recreational option for homeowners and their guests. Unlike the bocce court, which uses a synthetic turf surface, the shuffleboard court is built on a recycled concrete base. This eco-friendly choice reflects our commitment to sustainable construction practices whenever possible.

Bocce ball sports game courtTo provide a professional-grade playing experience, we installed Mateflex tiles over the concrete base. These interlocking modular tiles are known for their resilience, low maintenance, and ability to provide consistent ball glide and bounce. Their modular nature also makes them easier to maintain or replace over time, without the need to overhaul the entire surface.

Surrounding the shuffleboard court is a border of lush synthetic turf, also imported from Italy. This turf features a 1¼-inch pile height, giving it a luxurious, natural look and feel. Not only does it add a visual buffer around the court, but it also enhances safety and comfort for players and spectators alike.

Materials That Make a Difference

Every material used in this project was carefully selected to ensure the courts remain functional, attractive, and low-maintenance over time. Here’s a closer look at the premium materials and their benefits:

  • Synthetic Walls for Bocce Ball Court: These offer durability without deterioration. Since there are no exposed fasteners, the court maintains a clean, polished appearance.
  • Italian Imported Turf for Bocce Court: Specifically designed for bocce, this turf provides excellent ball rolland weather resistance, maintaining its color and texture for years.
  • Green Infill and White Striping: Enhances playability while giving the court a professional appearance.
  • Recycled Concrete Base for Shuffleboard Court: An environmentally conscious choice that also provides a solid and level foundation.
  • Mateflex Tiles: Engineered for sports use, these tiles offer excellent performance with minimal upkeep.
  • 1¼-Inch Italian Synthetic Turf Surround: Combines beauty and function, creating a soft, realistic look that complements the courts and provides comfort underfoot.

Multi Sport Game Court – Mateflex Shuffleboard & Bocce Court East Meadow NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Multi-Sport Game Court – Mateflex Shuffleboard & Bocce Court, East Meadow, NY

In today’s competitive residential market, standout amenities like a Mateflex Shuffleboard & Bocce Court can make all the difference. Outdoor courts for games like bocce ball and shuffleboard offer active recreation and community space, boosting a development’s appeal. For example, a recent East Meadow, NY project by Gappsi features a 12×60′ bocce court with synthetic turf and walls alongside two shuffleboard courts surfaced with dark-green and dark-blue Mateflex tiles. These multi-sport game courts deliver eye-catching aesthetics, year-round playability, and social benefits that resonate with renters and buyers alike.

Recreation and Community-Building

multi-sport-game-courtA dedicated bocce court invites friendly competition and casual socializing in one package. Both bocce and shuffleboard are low-impact games enjoyed by all ages: residents can relax, exercise, and mingle around the courts. Research confirms that such active spaces become community hubs – “shuffleboard courts are a popular gathering spot” that allow players to socialize. Bocce ball “promotes friendly competition and encourages group interaction”. In short, these amenities help build camaraderie. Modern amenity experts note that well-designed outdoor features “act as social hubs, promoting community interaction and cohesion”. By incorporating a multi-sport game court, developers give residents a place to meet and connect at home.

Aesthetic Appeal and Custom Design

Beyond function, multi-sport game courts enhance the look of a community. The vibrant green-and-blue Mateflex shuffleboard surface (with crisp white lines) brings visual interest to the landscape, complementing nearby picnic or pool areas. Synthetic turf bocce courts can also be customized in shades of green or tan to match the setting. These clean, uniform surfaces look well-manicured without constant upkeep. Design flexibility is a selling point: the interlocking sport tiles come in a palette of colors and allow painting of game markings so that each court can fit the development’s style. Property managers and turf suppliers emphasize these surfaces’ “aesthetically pleasing” appearance. A fresh, resort-like sports area signals quality and attention to detail, making a development more memorable to prospects.

BOCCE BALL SPORTS GAME COURTLong-Lasting Durability & Low Maintenance Mateflex Sports Game Courts

  • Waterless, painless upkeep. Unlike natural grass, synthetic bocce turf never needs watering, mowing, or fertilizing. There’s no sand or clay to rake after play. One installer notes that artificial bocce turf “requires less maintenance than grass, as it doesn’t need to be watered or fertilized”. The result is significant savings in labor and irrigation costs over time.
  • All-weather performance. These surfaces drain quickly and resist weather delays. Modern turf courts use advanced infill and drainage layers so rain or snow won’t leave puddles. For example, synthetic bocce courts have built-in drainage that “ensures the effects of weather on your court are minimized,” meaning games resume soon after storms. Likewise, Mateflex polypropylene tiles are UV- and weather-stable, so they withstand sun, rain, and freezes without cracking or fading.
  • Exceptional longevity. High-grade materials mean these courts “never wear down.” As one turf supplier puts it, artificial grass is “inherently hardy” — you can install a court once and enjoy it for years. The infill and fibers stay uniform even under heavy use, guaranteeing consistent ball roll over time. Similarly, Mateflex-style interlocking tiles expand and contract with temperature, which prevents cracks. A sports flooring expert notes that tile courts offer “a long life with minimal maintenance,” using a flex-joint design that adapts to ground shifts.
  • Safe, consistent play. Both synthetic turf and game tiles provide a stable, level surface. There are no dips or bare spots like on grass, so playing is safer and smoother. Manufacturers highlight that tile floors are cushioned and slip-resistant. These resilient materials absorb shock (for example, Mateflex’s flex-joint gives a little underfoot) while remaining firm for rolling balls, delivering a comfortable yet authentic playing experience.

Why Multi-Sport Game Courts

In short, multi-sport game court materials are engineered for minimal upkeep and maximum lifespan. The synthetic bocce turf and Mateflex tiles won’t require repaving or re-seeding like traditional surfaces. This low maintenance burden is a significant plus for developers, who can avoid recurring repair costs and keep residents happy with trouble-free amenities.

Boosting Appeal, Retention, and Value

Integrating a multi-sport game court like Mateflex shuffleboard & bocce court makes a property more attractive to renters and buyers. Industry research shows outdoor amenities “significantly impact your property’s ability to attract new tenants, retain existing ones, and even increase [its] value”. In other words, offering unique recreation spaces pays dividends. When potential residents shop for homes, vibrant on-site features like bocce and shuffleboard courts catch their eye and set a community apart in a crowded market.

Top 3 Advantages

  • Competitive edge. In an “amenities race” to meet tenant expectations, properties with fun and social features gain an advantage. Prospects touring a complex with an inviting shuffleboard court or bocce lawn will view it as having added lifestyle value. Outdoor game areas also advertise themselves – neighbors and visitors notice them, sparking interest. As one management blog notes, having appealing outdoor extras helps a property “stand out in an increasingly competitive market”.
  • Higher occupancy and rents. Multifamily studies confirm that more amenities translate into stronger financial performance. For example, Newmark research found that well-amenitized projects command noticeably higher rents and lease up faster than comparable projects with fewer perks. In practice, a community sporting a distinctive game court can justify a rent premium or fill vacancies more quickly, because it meets modern lifestyle demands.
  • Resident satisfaction and renewal. Current tenants benefit directly, too. Having on-site recreation encourages residents to stay longer. Amenities that foster social bonds build community loyalty. Tenants who feel at home—meeting friends at the bocce court or joining shuffleboard tournaments—are less likely to move away. This can improve renewal rates and reduce turnover costs. One property manager notes that rentals with desirable amenities are “hard to turn down. ” Existing residents often renew simply because of the lifestyle extras they enjoy.

multi-sport-game-court---mateflex-shuffleboard--bocce-court-east-meadow-ny3In sum, a multi-sport game court is more than just a play area – it invests in marketability and resident well-being. For developers aiming to differentiate their projects, such courts signal a forward-thinking design that meets current buyer and renter expectations. The result is a happier resident community and a stronger brand, ultimately leading to higher occupancy, better rates, and long-term property value.

Mateflex Shuffleboard & Bocce Court in East Meadow, NY

Adding a synthetic bocce court and adjacent shuffleboard courts is a cost-effective way to elevate a residential complex. These amenities deliver recreation, social interaction, and visual appeal year after year, with virtually no degradation. Durable synthetic turf and tile systems ensure the courts stay fresh-looking and safe for use in any season. And because they tap into rising tenant preferences, especially among active and multi-generational households, they help projects stand out. By embracing multi-sport game courts, developers give their residents novel lifestyle perks while securing a competitive edge in the marketplace.
