Overview
Pool decks have three jobs: don't be slippery when wet, don't burn feet at noon, and don't shift when the pool deck moves with the pool's hydraulics.

Process
How we
approach it.
- 01
Site walk
We look at slope, drainage, soil, and discuss material preferences. This matters early on because choosing a coping, slab or paver that can work together cohesively will affect how we go about the install and coordinate with the pool contractor.
- 02
Tiered proposal
Three options at three price points. The differences are paver brand, base depth, and edge detail, with every line itemised so you know what you're paying for.
- 03
Build
We start excavation and prep if needed, then onto the coping, working alongside the pool contractor to nail down specifics of the install.
- 04
Completion
Polymeric joint sand or permeable jointing material. One last compaction pass to seat the pavers. Walkthrough with you before we leave.
FAQ
Quick answers
What does slip-rated mean?
European R-rating, R9 to R13. We use R10 or R11 for residential pool decks. Wet-slip resistant without feeling rough on bare feet.
How close to the pool can pavers go?
Right up to the coping with a 1/4 inch expansion gap filled with flexible sealant. The gap absorbs movement so the coping and the deck don't fight each other.
Can you do this on an existing pool?
Yes. We strip the old deck, evaluate the base, and rebuild. If the old base is sound (rare) we can sometimes overlay; usually we strip and rebuild.
