A pool deck has demands that most other outdoor surfaces do not. It needs to stay reasonably cool underfoot in the direct West Lake 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, South Florida UV exposure, and the expansion and contraction cycles that come with Florida's heat.
Poured concrete pool decks are common on many West Lake properties, and they crack, stain, and turn uncomfortable underfoot over time. 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 — and where the interior finish is dated too, renovating the pool itself at the same time keeps the two in step. Patios Pools Driveways Inc. builds decks that meet the functional demands and the design expectations of the modern West Lake homes they surround.
