Pool deck paver installation

Unlike concrete slabs, pavers won't crack or split. Slabs are expected to split and are often laid with that flaw in mind. They are also more prone to damage from weather and temperature changes. Pool deck pavers come in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. We work with four of the largest paver vendors in the country, which means you can create the stunning final touch to your pool.

Pavers on pool decks can be almost any kind since there is no heavy traffic such as your driveway would see. However, power washing is very bad for pavers. First, it loosens all the sand in between the pavers which makes it even easier for weeds to grow. And second, power washing damages the surface of the pavers, making them more coarse, rough and welcoming to dirt and moss that gets in the pores. Power washing can also create a mess in the pool when dirt and weeds begin flying all over the place.

Pavers always need a strong base, and many contractors who do not specialize in installing pavers fail to provide the strong base pavers need. Some contractors lay a scarce amount of sand under the pavers which can cause the pavers to sink. Other contractors add too much sand under the pavers which can cause the pavers to become uneven and wobbly, leading to expensive repairs.

Some installers will give you a price estimate that seems too good to be true. Besides the fact that these don't usually include the cost of the demolition of the pool deck which is hugely significant , low bidders will often skimp on the base, leading to wobbly, uneven paver decks. As is often the case with low bidders who seem out of step with other estimates, it can be a real challenge to get these companies to stand behind their work and return to make necessary repairs.

Proper paver installation can in fact be costly. The cost is high because of the necessary sub base construction, its compacting, the professional setting of the sand base, and the higher cost of attractive pavers. Typically, a professional paver installation costs as much as stamped concrete, which is quite expensive.

Engineer, Punam NarCivil. Kloter, Jen. Oct 22, The hidden truth about Paver installations on pool decks. Tile decks are beautiful and elegant, but they require regular upkeep at the grout lines.

Wood composite can be hot, which makes it inconvenient for placement around a pool. Factor in how much space you want to cover as well. If you merely want a small pathway around the pool, you will need considerably less square footage than if you want a lounging area where you can soak up the rays. Your deck should also enhance the aesthetics of your landscape. After installing a large amount of synthetic turf , you may want to preserve the natural feel of the surrounding area by choosing neutral colors and eye-catching textures.

When it comes to convenience, appearance and durability, pool deck pavers are ideal. Pool decks built from paving stones will last longer than the alternatives. The durability of the paving materials allows for optimum performance for many years. Additionally, most surfaces are textured, which makes them safe even under wet conditions as they are non-skid, non-slip. Resistance to chemicals and spills make them perfect for poolside use as well.

In addition to being practical, pavers are visually pleasing. Adding a deck can increase the resale value of your home as well as create an impressive aesthetic you cannot achieve with most landscaping projects. If your pool is surrounded by a field of natural or artificial grass , adding a deck will break up the monotony.
