Your current pool deck shouldn’t be a safety hazard every time someone gets out of the water. Standing water, cracked surfaces, and slippery materials put your family at risk.
Professional pool patio pavers in Hempstead, NY solve these problems permanently. You get non-slip surfaces that stay safe when wet, proper drainage that eliminates standing water, and materials that won’t crack or shift over time.
The result? A pool area where you can actually relax instead of constantly worrying about someone slipping and getting hurt.
Since 2006, we’ve been the trusted choice for pool patio pavers in Hempstead, NY and throughout Nassau County. We’re A-rated with the BBB and Angie’s List award winners for six consecutive years.
What sets us apart is simple: an owner is present for every job. Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, childhood friends who founded our company, ensure every installation meets their personal standards.
We understand Long Island’s unique challenges—from spring pollen that affects pool areas to winter freeze-thaw cycles that can damage poorly installed surfaces. That’s why we use proven installation methods and quality materials that handle our local climate.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current pool deck and drainage situation. Many existing problems stem from poor base preparation or inadequate slope for water runoff.
Next, we prepare the foundation properly—this step determines whether your pavers will last decades or start shifting within a few years. We create the slight slope necessary for water to drain away from walking surfaces, preventing the standing water that creates slip hazards.
Finally, we install your chosen pavers with precise spacing and joint filling. Whether you select Cambridge pavers, travertine, or another material, each piece is positioned to handle both foot traffic and Long Island’s weather patterns. The result is a pool deck that stays level, drains properly, and provides safe footing for years.

Not every paver material works well around Long Island pools. We focus on options that provide safety, durability, and comfort for bare feet during our hot summers.
Cambridge pavers offer excellent slip resistance and come with manufacturer warranties. Travertine stays cool underfoot even on 90-degree days and provides natural texture for wet-area safety. Both materials handle our freeze-thaw cycles without cracking when properly installed.
For Hempstead homeowners, we often recommend lighter colors that reflect heat and reduce surface temperature. This matters more than you might think—dark pavers can become uncomfortably hot by mid-afternoon in July and August. We also ensure proper drainage around the pool perimeter, which is crucial given Nassau County’s occasional heavy rainfall that can overwhelm inadequate systems.
Pool pavers provide superior safety through textured surfaces that maintain grip even when wet. Unlike smooth concrete that becomes slippery with water, quality pavers like Cambridge or travertine have natural texture that prevents slips.
Individual pavers also handle ground movement better than large concrete slabs. In Nassau County, our soil conditions can cause settling, which creates cracks and uneven surfaces in concrete. When pavers shift slightly, they can be individually adjusted without replacing the entire surface.
The joint system between pavers also provides better drainage. Water flows between the joints instead of pooling on the surface, which eliminates one of the main slip hazards around pools.
Properly installed pool pavers typically last 20+ years in Long Island’s climate. The key is professional installation that accounts for our freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal ground movement.
Quality materials like Cambridge pavers or natural stone handle temperature changes without cracking. The individual paver system allows for slight movement without structural damage, unlike large concrete surfaces that can crack during winter freezing.
We’ve seen well-installed paver pool decks from the early 2000s that still look and perform like new. The investment in proper base preparation and quality materials pays off with decades of safe, attractive use.
Travertine and light-colored Cambridge pavers work best for Long Island’s hot summers. These materials stay significantly cooler than dark concrete or stone, making them comfortable for bare feet even on 90-degree days.
Travertine has natural heat-resistant properties due to its limestone composition. It actually stays cool to the touch while darker materials can become uncomfortably hot by afternoon. Light-colored Cambridge pavers in beige, tan, or gray tones also reflect heat effectively.
We always recommend testing material samples in your actual pool area during summer before making final selections. What feels comfortable in a showroom might be too hot in direct afternoon sun.
Proper drainage starts with creating the right slope during base preparation. We establish a gentle grade that directs water away from the pool and walking areas without creating an uncomfortable walking surface.
The slope needs to be precise—too little and water pools, too much and the deck feels uneven. We typically create a 1/4 inch per foot slope away from the pool, which effectively moves water while remaining barely noticeable when walking.
We also install drainage channels around the pool perimeter when necessary. Nassau County can get heavy rainfall that overwhelms inadequate drainage systems, so we plan for worst-case scenarios rather than hoping for the best.
Yes, individual paver replacement is one of the major advantages over concrete pool decks. If a few pavers crack, stain, or become damaged, we can remove and replace just those pieces without affecting the surrounding area.
This is especially valuable for pool areas where chemical spills, furniture scratches, or settling can affect small sections. With concrete, any significant damage usually requires replacing large sections or the entire surface.
We keep detailed records of the materials used in each installation, making it easy to source matching pavers years later. Most quality manufacturers maintain consistent product lines, so finding exact matches is rarely a problem.
Our complete pool paver installation includes site assessment, base preparation, proper drainage setup, paver installation, and joint filling. We handle all aspects from initial planning through final cleanup.
The base preparation is crucial and includes excavation to proper depth, installation of compacted stone base, and creation of the drainage slope. This foundation work determines how well your pavers perform long-term.
We also include sealing when appropriate for the material chosen and provide maintenance guidance specific to Long Island conditions. Every installation comes with our workmanship warranty and detailed care instructions to maximize the life of your investment.
