Q: I’m Interested in Building a New Pool Deck. What is the Best Base Material to Use?
A: When it comes to planning a brand new pool deck, this is probably the hardest part of the process. The base material can have an effect on every other part of the journey, so it’s important to think about it carefully. Luckily, there really is no wrong answer. It’s all about what fits your aesthetic, budget, and goals best. These are some of the most popular materials that we feel work for a wide range of Phoenix pool decks.
- Wood – this is the classic of the choices and generally offers a more rustic feel to a pool deck. It’s also by far one of the most affordable. So if you don’t want to shell out a large sum when you initially build, this may be a good fit for you.
- Concrete – what’s great about concrete is that there are a variety of methods to add designs, textures, colors, and more. So you can have the durability and sturdiness of concrete while making it match almost any visual aesthetic you can imagine.
- Exposed Aggregate – many resort pools use exposed aggregate because it is highly slip resistant. So you can mimic the feel of a resort in your own backyard, while also increasing the safety of your pool. We find this a great fit when kids are going to use the pool.
- Pavers – sometimes pavers are not as popular as other materials because they aren’t as easy to add designs and colors too. But what’s great about pavers is if one is damaged, it can be removed individually and replaced, saving you a pool load of money.
It’s easy to see that every option has a number of benefits. This might make the decision even harder on you, but it should also show you that you can’t go wrong. You can sit down with one of our expert technicians one on one to discuss your initial budget, maintenance plan, and aesthetic desires. And he or she will help you pick the right material for you. And whichever you choose, it’s vital to hire professionals like us to handle the installation. A poorly installed pool deck will have a shorter life span and could lead to costly repairs or injury. When you’re ready to install, our customers agree we’re the best pool deck installers Phoenix has to offer!
Q: I Have Been Neglecting My Old Pool Deck and It’s Time For a New One. What Are My Options?
A: We try and try to keep our pool decks looking as beautiful as the first day we got to use them. But, sometimes we fall short. Maybe it was a rough weather season, or it was too cold to swim for some time, or you were occupied by other family matters. If that’s the case and your pool deck falls into disrepair, there’s no need to panic. If our technicians can’t fix it with simple repairs, you have two options to have a pool party-worthy pool deck once again.
Restore – this is by far the simplest of your two options. We simply take what was already there and bring it back to its original glory. You had a pool deck you loved and that worked for you, so we use the same materials, treatments, and processes to restore the pool deck to its original condition. Because if you liked it the first time, why do you need to change it?
OR
Refurbish – maybe in the back of your head you’re thinking it’s a sign that the old pool deck didn’t survive that storm last week. Maybe it’s time for something new and exciting, a change of pace per se. You can put your creative thinking hat on and imagine up an entirely new pool deck. Maybe your deck was made of wood before and this time you want to try concrete. Whatever you dream up, we can make it a reality. Our techs make the process fun and stress-free for you. We handle all the work from start to finish so you can sit back and daydream of your next cannonball into the water.
You may find that a little bit of both options is the best fit for you. You might want to restore the same old concrete pool deck you had before but change the color or texture. We can make it happen, so imagine away and then call the best pool deck restoration Phoenix has in town.

If you don’t see your question here, we invite you to give us a call and ask. We love hearing from you, and we might just add your question here later to help others.
Q: How often will I need pool deck repairs?
This will differ from one home to another. The factors that determine this are weather exposure, UV exposure, how well you maintain the deck, and what materials you use for your pool deck. If you regularly clean your pool deck and keep an eye on cracks or buckles, you can usually stop many repairs before they begin.
Q: How long between pool deck resurfacing applications?
Many homeowners can go up to 5 or more years without needing to resurface their pool deck. This greatly increases with plenty of care and attention. People with pool deck surfaces exposed to dramatic temperature swings, excessive moisture exposure, or harsh sun exposure, will need to resurface their pool decks more often.
Q: How often should I have my pool deck sealed?
Whether you have a concrete or wood pool deck, sealing will always prolong the lifespan of your pool deck. The sealants provide protection against moisture and UV penetration. Without a sealant, you may experience excessive drying of wood, crumbling of concrete, or delamination. The length of time varies according to your material, but every couple of years tends to be the general rule.
Q: What kind of care is involved with pool deck pavers?
Pavers are a beautiful aesthetic for a pool surround but do require maintenance. You will need to seal them if you want to preserve the color and integrity of the stone. You can also sweep debris off pavers regularly to preserve their shape. Weeds and grasses often try to creep through the in-between spaces of pavers unless they are constructed with concrete. Clear this vegetation to keep pavers from buckling and coming loose. Paver can stain, so clean up spills and rinse them with water as soon as possible.
Q: What kind of options do I have with stamped concrete?
Great question. The possibilities are endless, but here are some details to consider. 1. Color. You will have several options of colors to work with to give your pool deck a truly unique aesthetic. We suggest using colors that will compliment your home. 2. Pattern. You can choose from broomed looks, stone styles, natural finishes, or actual patterns with your stamped concrete. 3. Materials. We work with various material mixes for pool decks so we can achieve the look you desire. Some materials work better in shade or sun-exposed spaces.
Q: What kind of materials can I use for my pool deck?
Everyone has their lifestyle and desired aesthetic, but sometimes, clients are unsure which materials to use. Here are a few options that customers most asked for. Try concrete for a lower maintenance option with various customization possibilities. You can use pavers for a traditional look that gives your pool deck stunning symmetry. Another option is exposed aggregate. This gives the pool deck a natural beachy feel. And wood is a beautiful option for those who don’t mind some upkeep and attention.
Q: Can I save an old pool deck?
You will need some professional eyes on an old pool deck to determine if it can be ‘saved.’ Some signs it can be saved, are small and medium-sized cracks, minor crumbling, and some delaminating. Signs that you cannot save your pool deck are major cracks and buckling. If moisture has caused the soil to wash out or build up, chances are you will need a new pool deck.
Q: How long does it take to install a pool deck?
Once we begin to work on your pool deck, you will see it come together at a good clip. We work quickly without sacrificing quality. Each material we use takes a different length of time to install. For example, pavers will take longer to design and install than a basic concrete pool deck. Once we have a plan and your materials locked in, we can give you a better idea of how long your project will take.
