Materials for Pool Decks

There are many different materials you can choose to pave your pool deck with. The two main types of pavers you can choose from are natural and manufactured stone. These come in a variety of colors, patterns, textures, shapes, and sizes. These are great for a pool deck because stone pavers are fade-resistant and are also slip-resistant. They have a lifetime warranty and do not stain as easily as other types of material for your pool deck. The different types of stone pavers you can use for your pool deck are brick, cobble, tumbled, slate, flagstone, marble, granite and travertine.

Installing a Paver Pool Deck

When installing a pool deck with pavers you want to use well compacted material for the base. A pool deck should have at least 6-8 inches of well-compacted base material along with about an inch of sand.

Common questions about pool pavers from our clients with answers:

What sealer should I use for my pool paver?

It is important to choose a sealer that best fits the material that you used to pave your pool deck. Some sealers create a more glossy look, while some make it look more natural. You can also choose between sealers that can help prevent stains and enhance your pool paver’s color.

How regularly should I clean my paver pool deck?

About once a month you should clean your paver pool deck. If you use a power washer, it will help get out any excess material that is building around your pool deck.

What are the best pavers for a pool deck?

This all depends on what kind of look you want for your pool deck. Darker colored brick pavers and tile pool decks tend to become very hot if they have direct sunlight throughout the day. Concrete pavers reflect sunlight and are more comfortable.

What is the maintenance like for having a paver pool deck?

All pavers are very durable and have a long life span, but some require more upkeep than others. Concrete tends to be the least amount of maintenance. Bricks can tend to shift over time and may need to be replace. This replacement is easy to do and does not take up a lot of time. You will want to refill pavers every couple of years to make sure weed growth doesn’t occur.

Do pavers have the strength and durability as regular concrete?

Yes! Actually having pavers for your pool area is a smarter choice. The reason is that these pavers are more flexible than regular concrete and require less upkeep and repair. It also gives a more appealing look than a regular slab concrete does.

Do I need to remove existing concrete when remodeling with pavers?

Not always. If your concrete is in good shape with few cracks then we can use thin pavers right over your existing concrete.

How are pavers secured around my pool deck?

They can be mortared, interlocking, or have a sand that bonds them together.
