Installation Process

How We Build Flawless Pool Decks

Working around pools requires precision to protect the pool walls, skimmers, and underground plumbing while ensuring perfect outward drainage.

01Step

Demolition & Assessment

If renovating, we carefully break up and remove old decking without damaging the pool's structural walls or plumbing lines.

02Step

Grading & Drainage Layout

We establish a precise 1-2% pitch sloping away from the pool to ensure dirty rainwater never drains into your clean pool water.

03Step

Base Compaction & Coping

We install heavy aggregate bases and secure the edge coping (the border immediately touching the water) using specialized masonry adhesives.

04Step

Paver Laying & Locking

We install the main deck, cut precisely around skimmers and ladders, and lock the joints with waterproof polymeric sand.

Material Selection

Crucial Choices for Poolside Hardscaping

Not all stone is suited for pools. We guide you toward materials that prioritize barefoot comfort, safety, and chemical resistance.

Barefoot Comfort

Darker pavers absorb intense heat. We recommend lighter creams, grays, and tans to keep the surface comfortable in July.

Slip Resistance

We select pavers with a subtle cleft or textured finish to prevent dangerous slips when kids are running out of the water.

Chemical Durability

Saltwater pools are highly corrosive. We use ultra-dense pavers and specialized sealants that resist salt degradation.

Plumbing Access

We map out where your return lines and skimmers are, ensuring the hardscape can be easily accessed if pool repairs are ever needed.

  • Poolside fire pits for night swimming

Frequently Asked Questions

Pool Deck Hardscaping FAQs

Is a paver pool deck better than stamped concrete?

Yes. Stamped concrete is notoriously slippery when wet and will inevitably crack in Buffalo's climate. Pavers offer better grip, won't crack, and allow access to underground pool pipes.

Can you fix a pool deck that is sinking away from the coping?

Yes. Sinking is usually caused by poor original soil compaction during the pool build. We can lift the pavers, add proper structural base material, and relay the deck so it is perfectly level.

What is pool coping?

Coping is the protective cap or edging that covers the pool wall and transitions to the main deck. We install rounded bullnose or modern square-edge stone coping for a premium finish.

Do you install decks for above-ground pools?

Our specialty is masonry and hardscaping. We focus entirely on paver and stone surrounds for in-ground or partially buried pools, rather than wooden or composite elevated decks.
