A pool deck has demands that most other outdoor surfaces do not. So close to the coast, it needs to stay reasonably cool underfoot in the direct Lake Worth Beach sun. It needs to drain water efficiently away from the pool edge without channeling runoff back toward the home, which matters most through the June-to-October rainy season. And it needs to hold up against pool chemicals, salt-laden coastal air, and the expansion and contraction cycles that come with Florida's heat.
Poured concrete pool decks were the standard for decades, and many of Lake Worth Beach's older bungalows and cottages still sit on them — cracked, stained, and uncomfortable underfoot. Pavers address all of those shortcomings. Individual units allow for minor movement in the sandy coastal soil 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 moves rainy-season water off the surface 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 Lake Worth Beach homes they surround.
