A newly renovated basketball court was built with Mateflex tiles in Atlantic Beach, NY.  This court brings a fresh, modern look to the community’s recreational space. Previously, this court was constructed with asphalt, which had deteriorated over time, leading to potholes and uneven surfaces that impacted the playability and safety of the court. Recognizing the need for an upgrade, a meticulous transformation took place to enhance the court’s functionality and aesthetics.

The refurbishment process began with addressing the existing asphalt surface. Over time, asphalt courts develop cracks and potholes due to exposure to the elements.  Regular wear and tear and natural ground settling. Before any new materials could be added, it was essential to ensure the surface was as level and smooth as possible. All potholes and uneven areas were carefully patched using a high-quality patch bond material to achieve this. This step was crucial in creating a stable foundation for the new court surface.

Once the surface was prepared correctly, new Metaflex tiles were installed over the existing asphalt. Metaflex tiles are an innovative flooring solution for outdoor sports game courts. They offer superior durability, shock absorption, and enhanced traction for players. These tiles not only improve the overall play experience but also contribute to the longevity of the court. They require less maintenance compared to traditional asphalt surfaces.

One of the standout design elements of the renovated court is its color scheme. The basketball inlays, including the keys, were highlighted with navy blue tiles. The main field of the court was finished in a lighter blue shade. This color contrast not only enhances the visual appeal of the court but also provides a clear delineation of key playing areas, making it easier for players to navigate and enjoy the game.

Precise white lines were applied for court markings to enhance the court’s professional appearance and usability. These lines ensure players can accurately gauge boundaries, free-throw lanes, and three-point arcs, maintaining consistency with standard basketball court dimensions. The attention to detail in striping helps improve the overall experience for casual and competitive players.

Synthetic Turf Finge Surrounds the Court

Beyond the playing surface of the basketball court built with Mateflex tiles, another key enhancement was the installation of a synthetic turf fringe surrounding the court. This feature serves multiple purposes. First, it creates a seamless visual transition between the court and the surrounding fence, giving the space a clean, polished look. Second, it provides a soft, cushioned buffer zone that enhances safety. This also helps to prevent injuries in case of accidental slips or falls near the court’s perimeter.

While many elements of the court were upgraded, the existing basketball hoops were retained. This decision was made to preserve the court’s functionality while minimizing unnecessary costs. The hoops were in good condition, providing local basketball enthusiasts with a reliable and familiar playing experience. Retaining the original hoops also ensured that the court remained recognizable to regular players who had used it before the renovation.

Completing this basketball court project significantly improves Atlantic Beach, NY’s recreational offerings. A well-maintained and visually appealing court encourages community engagement.  It allows residents of all ages to come together to enjoy the sport. Whether for pickup games, training sessions, or casual shooting practice, this newly resurfaced court offers a top-tier playing environment that meets modern standards.

Mateflex Sports Tiles Add Value

Additionally, the use of Metaflex tiles adds value beyond aesthetics and playability. These tiles are designed to withstand various weather conditions, from intense summer heat to cold winter temperatures, ensuring the court remains in excellent shape throughout the year. Unlike traditional asphalt, which can crack and degrade over time, the Metaflex surface offers increased longevity and resilience.  Mateflex reduces the need for frequent repairs or resurfacing.

The decision to include a synthetic turf fringe further emphasizes the project’s focus on quality and functionality. This fringe not only enhances the overall look of the court but also serves as a practical addition by helping to contain the playing area. Acting as a soft boundary, it minimizes the risk of balls rolling too far away from the court, reducing interruptions during games and practices.

The transformation of this court is a testament to the importance of investing in high-quality recreational facilities. Upgraded sports game courts improve the player experience and contribute to the community’s well-being. They promote active lifestyles and social interaction. Basketball courts, in particular, serve as gathering places where people can engage in friendly competition, build camaraderie, and develop athletic skills in a welcoming and well-maintained environment.

basketball-court-built-with-mateflex-tiles-in-atlantic-beach-n.y.1High-Quality Sports Facility Adds Value

Furthermore, maintaining moderate, high-quality sports facilities can positively impact property values and community appeal. Recreational amenities like this upgraded basketball court add to a neighborhood’s desirability, attracting families and individuals who value access to well-maintained outdoor spaces. Investing in this court demonstrates a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

Overall, the newly built basketball court in Atlantic Beach, NY, is a prime example of thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and community-focused development. The project successfully transformed an aging asphalt court into a state-of-the-art playing surface with durable Metaflex tiles, precise striping, and a synthetic turf fringe. By addressing structural issues, upgrading materials, and preserving key elements like the basketball hoops, the court now provides a superior playing experience for all who use it.

As more communities recognize the benefits of investing in sports infrastructure, projects like this will continue to set the standard for recreational facility upgrades. This revitalized basketball court will undoubtedly be a hub of activity and enjoyment for years, whether for casual play, organized games, or community events.

Maintenance-Free Backyard with Synthetic Grass and Vinyl Pool

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of a Maintenance-Free Backyard with Synthetic Grass and Vinyl Pool

A “maintenance-free backyard” with synthetic grass and a vinyl pool means you won’t need to mow, weed, or heavily treat the grass. The pool’s vinyl lining requires minimal upkeep, making it a low-maintenance option overall. Just focus on basic pool cleaning and occasional debris removal from the synthetic grass surface. Our team recently completed this maintenance-free backyard makeover in Smithtown, N.Y.

maintenance-free-backyard-with-synthetic-grass-and-vinyl-pool1Synthetic Grass and Vinyl Pool Installation with Sheer Descent Waterfalls

We started by installing a new vinyl pool. The pool measured 16 x 36 inches and had a depth of 43 to 66 inches, including a gradual slope. In addition, we installed stairs to the raised turf area on both sides of the pool.

A vinyl pool with a sheer descent waterfall refers to an inground swimming pool lined with vinyl, featuring a water feature called a “sheer descent” where a thin, continuous sheet of water cascades down a vertical wall, creating a clean and elegant waterfall effect, often considered a modern design element for pools; this type of waterfall can be easily integrated into a vinyl liner pool due to its design flexibility.

VISIT GAPPSI SWIMMING POOL GALLERIES

Key points about a vinyl pool with a sheer descent waterfall:

  • Water Feature: Unlike traditional rock-style waterfalls, the “sheer descent” creates a smooth, curtain-like water flow down the wall.
  • Design Flexibility: This water feature can be customized to fit the shape and size of the vinyl pool, with options to adjust the water flow and the length of the waterfall.
  • Installation: Special considerations may be needed when installing a sheer descent waterfall on a vinyl pool. This often requires a raised wall or specially designed coping to accommodate the water flow.
  • Customization Options: The height and width of the waterfall can be customized depending on the pool size and desired water flow, allowing for varying levels of drama.
  • Lighting Integration: Adding LED lighting behind the waterfall can create a stunning visual effect at night, especially with color-changing options.

Benefits of a Sheer Descent Waterfall on a Vinyl Pool:

  • Elevated Aesthetic: The clean lines and smooth water flow add a modern and sophisticated look to the backyard.
  • Relaxing Soundscape: The gentle cascading water creates a calming ambiance.
  • Increased Functionality: The waterfall can provide a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy the water flow.

maintenance-free-backyard-with-synthetic-grass-and-vinyl-pool2Things to consider when planning a sheer descent waterfall on a vinyl pool:

  • Pool Layout: Determine the best placement for the waterfall based on the pool’s shape and existing features.
  • Water Flow Control: Ensure the waterfall system has adjustable water flow to control the sound and visual impact.
  • Maintenance: Consider the additional maintenance required to keep the waterfall clean and functioning correctly.

Retaining Wall Built with Eldorado Cultured Stones

Due to the grade change from the neighbor’s yard, we built a retaining wall. The wall was veneered with eldorado cultured stones.  A retaining wall for a vinyl pool is most commonly constructed using interlocking concrete blocks (segmental retaining walls) stacked together to form a strong and stable wall, offering a good balance of cost-effectiveness and durability compared to other options like poured concrete or large stones.  However, the best material for your specific situation will depend on the slope of your yard and the height of the wall needed.

Key points about retaining walls for vinyl pools:

  • Concrete blocks: Concrete blocks are the most popular choice due to ease of installation and versatility.
  • Poured concrete: Stronger and more suitable for very tall walls, but can be more expensive.
  • Natural stone: Aesthetically pleasing but can be labor-intensive and costly.
  • Timber (pressure treated): Suitable for smaller walls but requires regular maintenance due to potential rot.

maintenance-free-backyard-with-synthetic-grass-and-vinyl-pool3Some considerations when choosing a material for the retaining wall:

  • The yard’s slope: Steeper slopes require more substantial materials like poured concrete.
  • Wall height: Higher walls may need additional support or engineering calculations.
  • Aesthetics: Consider how the retaining wall will blend with your backyard design.

Important Design Elements

  • Drainage: Proper drainage behind the wall is crucial to prevent water buildup and soil erosion.
  • Geotextile fabric: A layer of geotextile fabric can be placed behind the wall to prevent soil erosion further.
  • Proper installation: Ensure the wall has a level base and appropriate backfill materials.

Pool Coping and Design Elements

Many pool operators may initially overlook pool coping. However, it is an essential part of building a swimming pool. Understanding the various types of pool coping available, the materials used, and their features is crucial for creating a durable, stylish pool.

Pool coping refers to the material or structure that forms the edge or perimeter around a swimming pool. It essentially acts as a protective cap that separates the pool shell from the surrounding deck. The coping allows people to sit or stand on the pool’s edge, preventing water from spilling over the side. It’s the area on which people typically sit when at the pool’s edge.

Key Points About Pool Coping

  • Function: It protects the pool shell, prevents debris from entering it, and provides a safe, comfortable area to sit or stand at the pool’s edge.
  • Material options: Can be made from concrete, natural stone, pavers, or ceramic tiles.
  • Different styles: Includes bullnose coping (rounded edge), top mount coping (attached to the pool wall), and drop edge coping (sharp vertical edge).

For the coping on the top of the wall and the pool, we used G036 marble from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection. This gray natural stone was installed in a French pattern on the top patio.

Synthetic Turf for a Maintenance-Free Backyard

We installed synthetic turf on top of the raised area in the backyard area, adding to the maintenance-free features of the backyard makeover.  This unique artificial turf is manufactured in Italy by a great company that makes synthetic turf for all FIFA regulation soccer fields for European teams.

Synthetic lawns require almost no maintenance besides occasional cleaning. They don’t need mowing, fertilizing, aerating, or weeding. Durability is a big plus. Artificial turf stands well to heavy use and extreme weather, from UV rays to freezing temperatures.maintenance-free-backyard-with-synthetic-grass-and-vinyl-pool

Vinyl Liner Pool Auto Covers

The pool is also equipped with an autocover.  A pool auto cover is primarily used to significantly reduce water evaporation, conserve heat in the pool, minimize debris buildup, and, most importantly, provide a safety barrier to prevent accidental access to the pool, especially for children and pets, all with the convenience of opening and closing with the press of a button.

Key Benefits of a Pool Auto Cover:

  • Safety: The primary function is to act as a safety barrier, preventing unauthorized access to the pool and significantly reducing the risk of drowning, particularly for young children and pets.
  • Energy savings: Covering the pool when not in use drastically reduces heat loss from evaporation, meaning less energy is needed to maintain the desired water temperature.
  • Water conservation: Minimizing evaporation translates to less water loss, reducing the need to refill the pool frequently.
  • Reduced maintenance: A cover keeps debris like leaves and insects out of the pool, decreasing the need for regular cleaning.
  • Chemical conservation: Fewer pool chemicals are needed to maintain proper water balance by preventing evaporation.
  • Convenience: Unlike manual covers, an automatic cover can be opened and closed with a button, making pool usage effortless.

We installed synthetic turf in the rest of the yard, creating a play area for the kids and a maintenance-free backyard.  This is the latest Gappsi design and complete installation in Smithtown, NY.

At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf Dix Hills NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of At Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf in Dix Hills, NY

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-playing, hardest-hitting games around; why not build an at-home lacrosse field with synthetic turf? You can expect ball speeds up to 100 mph flying through the air, hitting the ground at various angles, and lots of running. That means the key to keeping lacrosse players protected and performing their best is a safe, durable playing surface that can stand up to the most challenging and fastest hits game after game.

Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf

In our recent project in Dix Hills, N.Y., our team built a miniature lacrosse field in a private backyard. We installed porcelain tiles diagonally to lead to the driveway’s entrance and added 4-inch strips of synthetic turf between the tiles.

Porcelain paver stepping stones and artificial turf can be a low-maintenance way to create a lush, natural-looking outdoor space.  One of our favorite low-maintenance elements to add to any artificial grass project is paving stones. Whether that comes as spaced-out stepping stones between the turf, a paving stone patio, or a walkway, it gives your yard more functionality and adds another dimension. In recent years, the hardscaping industry has increased in designs, materials, and tools. People used to think of paving stones as a monotonous pattern of bricks, but today, it has become an art form, and we have embraced that here at Gappsi.at-home-lacrosse-field-with-synthetic-turf-dix-hills-ny1

For your next project, consider adding paving stones to your backyard because they are better suited to higher-traffic areas (compared to artificial grass). The only real limitation of synthetic turf is that it tends to develop a “wear pattern,” in which you can see more wear from the high-traffic areas. For example, adding stepping stones or a pathway would make sense if you always walk a particular path to your car or garage.

Strengthen Your Short Game with a Putting Green

Imagine the freedom of your backyard or basement putting green—perhaps a mini hole or short course. Practicing is convenient, and let’s face it now: your house looks extraordinary. We installed a putting green in the corner using Radici synthetic turf. Radici Sport develops and manufactures innovative artificial turf for the professional and amateur sports world and landscape applications, ensuring high reliability and long-term performance. Radici Synthetic grass is 100% made in Italy, and Gappsi imports it directly from the manufacturer.  Gappsi designs and constructs custom residential and commercial golf greens using high-quality, durable, artificial turf. We deliver an unrivaled experience that combines exceptional performance and elevated aesthetics.

Dominator Double Horn Light for Your Home Lacrosse Field with Synthetic Turf

We installed the Dominator Double Horn Light. This light setup illuminates the entire field at night, just like daylight. The Dominator square aluminum light pole enhances visibility with quality outdoor court lighting. Illuminate your playing field with Dominator LED lights to experience extended playtime and optimal brightness.

The key features of the Dominator Double Light series include:
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-strength aluminum extrusion housing and impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, these light bars are designed to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Water and Dust Resistance: They are IP67 rated, offering protection against water and dust intrusion, making them suitable for off-road adventures.
  • Beam Options: Available in spot, flood, or combination beam patterns to suit various lighting needs.
  • Mounting Flexibility: Equipped with both side and bottom mounting options and stainless steel hardware for versatile installation.
  • Longevity: Featuring a 50,000-hour life rating, ensuring long-term performance.

Out-of-Bounds Netting (or out-of-play netting)

As part of the installation for the in-home lacrosse field, we installed out-of-bounce netting behind the goal net to prevent the ball from going next door. We also striped the court with permanent white lines.

Out-of-bounds netting (or out-of-play netting) is used in various sports and recreational activities to enhance safety, improve the spectator experience, and protect property. Here’s why it’s commonly used:

1. Safety – Protect Spectators: In sports like baseball, hockey, lacrosse, and golf, balls or pucks can fly at high speeds. Netting acts as a barrier to prevent injuries.  You also protect players.  Netting can prevent stray balls from interfering with play or hitting players in training areas or fields.
2. Improved Gameplay – Maintain Focus by keeping balls or other equipment within the play area; netting reduces interruptions and ensures smoother gameplay.  Defined Boundaries: Netting marks the out-of-bounds area, making it easier for players and referees to judge play.
3. Property Protection – Prevents damage to nearby property, such as cars, windows, or other structures, especially in urban or community settings.
4. Enhanced Spectator Experience – Fans can watch the game without worrying about being struck by stray balls or pucks, making the experience safer and more enjoyable.
5. Compliance with Regulations – Many sports leagues and venues must install netting to comply with safety regulations and reduce liability risks.
6. Cost-Effectiveness – Reducing incidents of damage or injury can save money in the long term by minimizing lawsuits, medical costs, and repairs.

Out-of-bounds netting balances safety and visibility, ensuring players and spectators enjoy the game with minimal risk.

Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting System | Queens, N.Y

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos of Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting Systems | Queens, N.Y

When building a pickleball sports game court with out of bounce netting system, selecting the right surface material is essential for playing at the highest level. The surface affects the court’s playability, safety, and maintenance.

Surface Material and Construction

The choice of surface material greatly affects the court’s playability and maintenance. Asphalt and concrete are the most common materials used for pickleball courts, each with advantages and disadvantages. Asphalt is more affordable and offers a softer surface, while concrete provides a more durable and low-maintenance option. Regardless of the material chosen, it’s essential to ensure a smooth finish to prevent injuries and enhance the playing experience.

Asphalt is a popular choice for pickleball courts due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. It provides a hard, smooth surface that is ideal for fast-paced games.

Asphalt courts can withstand heavy use and weather conditions, making them a long-lasting option.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.yAsphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Durability: Asphalt is highly durable and can last many years with proper maintenance.
  • Cost-effective: Compared to other surface materials, asphalt is relatively inexpensive.
  • Low Maintenance: Asphalt courts require minimal maintenance, usually limited to occasional cleaning and resurfacing.

Asphalt Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Hard Surface: The hardness of asphalt can be tough on players’ joints, especially during extended play.
  • Heat Absorption: Asphalt absorbs heat, making the surface hot and potentially uncomfortable during sunny days.

Concrete is another durable and long-lasting surface material for pickleball courts. It provides a hard, smooth playing surface similar to asphalt but with a few distinct differences.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Pros:

  • Longevity: Concrete courts can last for decades if properly maintained.
  • Smooth Surface: Concrete provides an even and consistent playing surface.
  • Stability: Concrete is less likely to develop cracks or deformities than asphalt.

Concrete Pickleball Sports Game Court Cons:

  • Cost: Concrete is more expensive to install than asphalt.
  • Hard-on Joints: Like asphalt, the hard surface of concrete can be tough on players’ joints.
  • Maintenance: While concrete is durable, any cracks that do develop can be more challenging to repair.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.y-1Pickleball Sports Game Courts with Out of Bounce Netting System Queens, N.Y.

In our recent project in Queens, N.Y., we installed two pickable courts over the existing asphalt tennis court area with two other tennis courts left existing.

We used part of the existing tennis courts and installed Mateflex tiles over the asphalt to build two pickleball sports game courts. The Mateflex tile features a narrow gauge rib system for quick drainage, high traction, and good ball bite (less skid), which is ideal for tennis court resurfacing. This is comparable to using a narrow gauge racquet string. Even after many years of wear and tear, these ribs will maintain the same width and, therefore, the same playing speed.

Each Mateflex tile has 32 individual interlocks and surrounding modules for superior court integrity. The interlocking tile is firm for a stable playing platform and reinforced for exceptional strength and longevity, which is necessary for any tennis or pickleball court design.

Why Choose Mateflex Sport Game Court Tiles

  • Experience – Matéflex has provided high-quality solutions since 1974 as the oldest American modular tile manufacturer.
  • Quality – We won’t settle for anything less than the highest standards for materials and manufacturing. We supervise our molding process, so we always control quality.
  • Performance – Our products are engineered to enhance comfort and performance and will show in your players’ games.
  • Safety – Matéflex products were developed with injury prevention in mind.
  • Durability – Protect your investment by choosing long-lasting flooring products.
  • Ease – Every Matéflex product was designed to be portable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective.
  • Service – We provide outstanding support from design to installation and throughout the life of your court.
  • Comfort – We provide outstanding support from design to installation and throughout the life of your court.

Pickleball Court Lines and Marking

The client chose maroon red for the outer court perimeter and royal blue for the pickleball insert.  In addition, we installed out-of-bounce netting with aluminum poles to separate the two courts to help contain the balls within each court.  

Sports netting, also known as ball stop netting, keeps balls in play and out of spectator areas to protect players, spectators, and property. Netting provides players an extra layer of safety, allowing them to play confidently. It also keeps balls from flying into areas where spectators could be injured. Netting prevents balls from traveling into areas that could cause damage and aids in maintaining consistent play.  Sports game court netting also keeps the balls within the boundaries, ensuring fair competition.

pickleball-sports-game-courts-with-out-of-bounce-netting-system-queens-n.y-2Out-of-bounds netting can be custom-built to fit any size space and is made from durable materials that can withstand heavy impacts and harsh weather conditions.

Pickleball sports game court netting by Dominator was installed, which can also be extended higher for playing a volleyball game.  

Synthetic Turf for Sports Game Court Fringe

Our team installed synthetic turf fringe all around the court. It is also a visual border as a transition from the Mateflex polypropylene tile to the lower asphalt base.

The second tennis court will eventually be remodeled into a new tennis court, or we might put pickable courts sideways. The clients will use this for now and decide whether to keep the old tennis court or add more pickable courts and possibly a putting green. This is the latest sports game court installation done by Gappsi in Queens, NY.

Are you craving a unique outdoor sanctuary, perhaps a place to relax and practice golf while enjoying a fantastic view away from the hustle and bustle? Converting your rooftop to a putting green with artificial turf could be your perfect solution.

It can be a serene retreat and a visually stunning addition to your complex if done right!

1. Plan For Safety – First and foremost, ensure your rooftop can bear the additional weight of your golf haven. Seek professional help to assess the structural integrity. Once confirmed, design the putting green cautiously to ensure proper safety measures. This could include installing barriers or railings for accident prevention.

2. Utilize Space Wisely—Rooftop spaces can vary significantly in size. Strategic use of available space is crucial regardless of your rooftop’s dimensions. If space is tight, try a minimalist approach, focusing on one or two golf holes and a small seating area. If the location allows, consider a larger green or incorporate a few obstacles for added challenge.

3. Consider Drainage—Good drainage is essential to keeping your rooftop green in top shape. Ensure the base below the artificial turf is designed for efficient drainage. Using turf that allows rapid permeability will prevent waterlogging and increase the lifespan of your green.

4. Choose High-Quality Artificial Turf – Quality matters, especially regarding the artificial turf you install. Opt for top-quality artificial greens replicating the feel of real grass golf greens. They’ll provide the ball roll accuracy and durability that a golf enthusiast appreciates.  The quality of the artificial turf you choose heavily influences the green’s playability and durability. Opt for top-quality, low-maintenance artificial grass. It might cost more initially, but it will save time, effort, and long-term satisfaction.

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny3Rooftop Putting Green Installation, Long Beach, N.Y.

Gappsi recently designed and installed a rooftop putting green in Long Beach, Long Island. The first step is spreading the bluestone gravel, which is applied on top of the Merafi paper. Next, we will install the synthetic turf fringe. Synthetic turf fringe is a section of artificial grass that connects a putting green to the fairway and is also known as the “apron” or “collar.”

Why Do You Need Synthetic Turf Fringe

  • Purpose: It connects the green to the fairway, prevents the ball from rolling off, and provides stability and protection to the putting green.
  • Height – Usually 1–2 inches tall, but is customizable.
  • Width—This can vary depending on the space, but it can be as narrow as 6 inches or several feet wide.
  • Installation – It should be cut perfectly to blend seamlessly with the putting green.
  • Benefits – Durable, weather-resistant, and can create a realistic play experience.

The rooftop putting green installation in Long Beach, N.Y., was completed on the second floor over a parking garage. We added flower beds to accent the putting green curves.  Creating an impressive landscape around your synthetic putting green is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor space’s aesthetic appeal. Surrounding your putting green with various plantings is a classic landscaping idea.  Choose low-growing perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, or ground covers to create a beautiful and natural-looking boundary that visually separates your green from the rest of your space.

roof-top-putting-green-installation-long-beach-ny2The putting green has a very beautiful undulation. Although it is difficult to see from the images posted, bumps and gullies have been added to create a golf course feel.

We installed the putting green grass and the Gappsi Dreamy 35 (1.5 Pile Height) for the fringe. This project was done for Engel Burman, an apartment complex on Long Beach’s water. We installed five cups and flags and outlined the flower beds with aluminum metal edging. This is the latest sports game court installation completed in Long Beach, NY.
