Kidney Pool Deck in Mountain Lakes, NJ

A grey paver deck follows the curve of the kidney shaped pool. The random pattern uses several paver sizes, while a charcoal border follows the pool edge and the pavers are cut tight around the stainless steel rails. These photos were taken while the work was in progress, before the pool was filled and the yard was landscaped.

Plank Paver Pool Deck in Mountain Lakes, NJ

Long plank style pavers wrap two sides of the rectangular pool in a staggered pattern. The runs meet at a mitred corner, and a charcoal border carries around the pool step. The photos show the work in progress with the pool empty and equipment still on site.

Why homeowners choose pavers for a pool deck

Safer footing around water

Bare feet and wet surfaces are the main safety concern around a pool. Textured pavers give grip underfoot, and a surface made of many separate units is less likely to be slick than a smooth, glossy finish. Choosing a pool deck is first of all a decision about footing.

Comfort in the sun

Bare feet are more comfortable on light and mid tone pavers than dark ones. A dark border can frame the pool edge.

A deck that can be repaired

A stained or damaged paver is lifted out and replaced, and a settled area is rebuilt and relaid.

Shapes that slabs struggle with

Pavers are cut to follow curves, corners and steps without gaps.

A good fit for New Jersey winters

Interlocking pavers on a compacted stone base move slightly with the ground and let water drain away.

Looks that suit the house and yard

Plank and large format pavers give the yard a clean, considered finish.

When a paver pool deck is the right choice

You are building a new pool.
Your existing deck is cracked, stained or sinking.
Water collects on or near the deck.
Your pool has curves or steps.
You want the look of wood without the upkeep of wood.
You want one continuous surface with no joints. Poured concrete may suit you better.
