Pool Decking Options

Design Your Perfect Pool Surround

Your pool deck sets the stage for relaxation, entertainment and safety around your pool. From sunbathing and outdoor dining to kids’ play areas, the right decking material enhances both the look and functionality of your backyard. Pools of Fun offers expert design and installation services for pool decking, helping you choose materials and finishes that fit your lifestyle, budget and aesthetic.

Why Your Pool Deck Matters

A well‑designed pool deck is as important as the pool itself. It provides:

 

  • Aesthetic Appeal: A beautiful deck complements the pool’s design, landscaping and your home’s architecture.

  • Functional Space: It offers room for loungers, dining tables, grills and play areas—extending your living space outdoors.

  • Safety: Slip‑resistant materials and proper drainage help prevent falls and water pooling around the pool.

  • Comfort: Quality materials stay cool underfoot and feel good on bare feet even on hot days.

  • Value: An attractive, durable deck increases home value and can be a major selling point.

Choosing the right deck material and design is critical to creating a safe, inviting environment for years to come.

Popular Pool Decking Materials

  • Stamped & Poured Concrete: Affordable and versatile; can be stamped, coloured or textured to mimic stone or tile.

  • Pavers: Interlocking pavers offer durability, slip resistance and endless design possibilities; individual pavers can be replaced if damaged.

  • Natural Stone: Options like travertine, bluestone, slate or flagstone provide a luxurious, natural look and stay cool underfoot.

  • Composite & PVC Decking: Made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite decking is low maintenance, resists fading and splintering and comes in a variety of colours.

  • Wood Decking: Traditional wood provides a classic look and feel but requires regular maintenance like sealing and staining.

  • Tile & Porcelain: Porcelain pavers and tile offer modern, sleek aesthetics and are durable, non‑porous and easy to clean.

  • Rubber & Soft Surfaces: Suitable for play areas or slip‑resistant zones, rubber decking is comfortable and forgiving but may have more limited aesthetic options.

Our team helps you select materials based on your priorities—budget, style, comfort, maintenance and durability.

Design & Customisation

 Decking isn’t one-size-fits-all. Personalise your space with:

 

  • Colour Choices: Opt for earthy tones, modern greys or vibrant hues to complement your pool tile and surrounding landscaping.

  • Patterns & Layouts: Choose herringbone, basket weave, diagonal or random patterns with pavers or tiles; stamped concrete offers patterns like wood grain or natural stone.

  • Borders & Inlays: Incorporate decorative borders or inlay different materials to define areas such as dining spaces or pathways.

  • Texture & Slip Resistance: Add texture through stamping, broom finishes or textured pavers to enhance safety.

  • Lighting & Accessories: Integrate flush‑mounted lights, drainage channels, planter spaces or built‑in seating to elevate your design.

  • Mix & Match: Combine materials—like stone and composite—to define spaces or create visual interest.

Our designers work with you to create a cohesive look that flows with your pool and backyard design.

Maintenance & Durability

  • Concrete: Requires periodic sealing and may need resurfacing over time.

  • Pavers: Simple to repair—replace individual pavers if damaged; cleaning and sealing keep them looking fresh.

  • Natural Stone: Needs sealing to resist stains and maintain colour; some stones are more porous and require more care.

  • Composite Decking: Low maintenance—just occasional cleaning with soap and water; resistant to rot and insects.

  • Tile & Porcelain: Very durable and easy to clean; choose slip‑resistant finishes for safety.

  • Wood: Requires regular staining, sealing and inspection to prevent splintering and rot; maintenance frequency depends on climate and use.

  • Rubber Surfaces: Easy to clean and maintain; may fade over time and need replacement sooner than harder materials.

Proper installation and maintenance keep your deck looking beautiful and performing well for many years. We provide care recommendations for all materials.

FAQs About Pool Decking

How long does it take to install a new deck?

Timeframes depend on size, material and site conditions. Most projects take one to three weeks, including demolition, base preparation and installation.

Yes. Our team carefully removes old materials and prepares the site to protect your pool. We install new decking without compromising your pool structure.

Natural stone, especially lighter-coloured travertine or bluestone, tends to stay cooler than concrete or darker pavers.

You can resurface it with a decorative overlay, stain it for a fresh look or add features like paver borders to refresh the design without a complete replacement.

Permit requirements vary by location and scope. We handle any necessary permits and ensure the project meets local building codes.
