Place au Soleil
Waterfront · Enclave
Place au Soleil has 96 homes facing the Gulf Stream Golf Club and the Intracoastal. A paver pool deck in a warm, light tone suits the setting, and a sealed surface helps it hold up to salt air and sun.
Give your Gulfstream pool the deck it deserves — durable, cool underfoot, and built for the local climate.
Pool Decks
The pool deck is one of the most used surfaces on any Gulfstream property, and it is also one of the most exposed. It takes direct sun all day, gets wet constantly, and has to hold up under foot traffic, outdoor furniture, and the chemical splash-back that comes with everyday pool use. When the deck surface is cracked, faded, or too hot to walk on barefoot — a common complaint under the strong Palm Beach County sun — it affects how much the pool actually gets used, and how the entire backyard looks and feels.
Patios Pools Driveways Inc. is a licensed and insured outdoor contractor serving Gulfstream and the surrounding Palm Beach County communities. From the material options available to when renovation makes sense, we guide homeowners through paver pool deck design and installation.
Pool Decks
A pool deck has demands that most other outdoor surfaces do not. It needs to stay reasonably cool underfoot in the direct Gulfstream sun. It needs to drain water efficiently away from the pool edge without channeling runoff back toward the home during the rainy season. And it needs to hold up against pool chemicals, Atlantic salt air, coastal UV exposure, and the expansion and contraction cycles that come with Florida's heat.
Poured concrete pool decks were the standard for decades, and many Gulfstream homes still have them — cracked, stained, and uncomfortable underfoot. Pavers address all of those shortcomings. Individual units allow for minor ground movement without large surface cracks. Natural stone options like travertine stay significantly cooler underfoot than concrete in direct sun. And the joint structure of a paver deck handles Palm Beach County drainage better than a monolithic slab.
The deck also defines the visual frame around the pool. The material, color, and layout of the pool deck determines how the water looks, how the space photographs, and how inviting the whole backyard feels from inside the home. Patios Pools Driveways Inc. builds decks that meet the functional demands and the design expectations of the Gulfstream homes they surround.
Pool Decks
Pavers give pool decks a combination of durability, repairability, and design flexibility that no other surface material offers. If a section of the deck settles or a paver is damaged, individual units can be removed and reset without disturbing the rest of the installation — a repair that would require significant patching or grinding on a concrete slab, and often a pool deck overlay afterward so the repair does not show.
The design flexibility of pavers also gives Gulfstream homeowners meaningful control over the finished result. Color, texture, size, and pattern can be combined in a wide range of ways — from clean and modern to warm and classic — with the option to add borders, banding, or accent details that elevate the installation.
A professionally installed paver pool deck in Gulfstream can help:
Materials
Every pool deck has different requirements based on the pool shape, surrounding landscape, and how the homeowner uses the space. Patios Pools Driveways Inc. helps Gulfstream homeowners identify the right material and layout based on those factors, as well as the design direction of the home and outdoor environment.
Travertine is the most widely used pool deck material in Gulfstream for good reason. Surface temperature tests consistently show travertine staying cooler underfoot than concrete or darker-toned pavers in full sun — a meaningful difference when walking barefoot from pool to lounge chair in the Palm Beach County heat. The material's natural surface texture provides slip resistance when wet, and its variegated tones in ivory, walnut, and gold complement a wide range of pool finishes, coping materials, and the historic and Mediterranean home styles found along this barrier island.
Concrete pavers offer more variety in shape, size, color, and texture than any other pool deck material. They are manufactured to precise dimensions, which allows for clean geometric patterns and consistent layouts across large deck areas. Large-format concrete pavers are increasingly popular for the contemporary pool designs going into newer Gulfstream homes, and they hold up well in Florida's chemical and UV environment as a cost-effective alternative to natural stone.
Porcelain pool deck pavers offer a clean, modern appearance with low water absorption and strong resistance to fading, staining, and moisture — a real advantage against the Atlantic salt air and coastal UV exposure found in Gulfstream. Available in stone-look, concrete-look, and contemporary finishes, porcelain pavers can create a refined pool deck while coordinating with the coping, pool interior, and surrounding patio. For pool areas, we use outdoor-rated porcelain with a textured, slip-resistant surface and the proper installation system for South Florida conditions.
Marble pool deck pavers provide a high-end natural-stone look with distinctive veining, color variation, and a bright, elegant finish. Light-colored marble can help create a more open, resort-inspired pool area while complementing the estates and historic homes found throughout Gulfstream. Selecting the right exterior-grade marble, surface texture, drainage, installation method, and sealer is important for improving traction and preserving the appearance of the pool deck over time.
Pool Decks
Most pool decks in Gulfstream were originally built with poured concrete — and most of them show it. Years of sun, salt air, chemical exposure, and ground movement leave concrete decks cracked, stained, and rough in ways that no sealing or patching can permanently fix. Resurfacing options can extend the life of a concrete deck for a few years, but they do not address the underlying issues that caused the deterioration.
At a certain point, the right answer is replacement rather than another round of patching. Once the new paver deck is in place, the Gulfstream pool area reads as new — and the improvement in how the space looks and feels is immediate.
A paver pool deck renovation can help solve problems like:
Deck Quality
A pool deck that is not built for Gulfstream's specific conditions will show its weaknesses quickly. Coastal UV intensity, Atlantic salt air, daily heat cycles, heavy rain events, and the constant moisture that surrounds a pool all stress the deck surface and the base beneath it. Getting those fundamentals right from the start is what separates an installation that holds up for decades from one that requires attention within a few Palm Beach County seasons.
We focus on:
Outdoor Living
A pool deck does not exist independently of the rest of the outdoor environment. It connects to the coping, which connects to the pool interior, where a pool renovation would begin. It flows out to the patio and the paver walkways that lead to the outdoor kitchen or covered lanai. The material and layout choices made for the deck should take all of those adjacencies into account — which is exactly the kind of whole-property perspective that Patios Pools Driveways Inc. brings to every Gulfstream project.
If you are planning a larger outdoor upgrade, your paver pool deck can be designed to complement:
