You get a pool area where kids can run and play without the constant worry of slips and falls. Our non-slip pool patio pavers in Bay Shore, NY provide the traction you need even when wet, while staying cool underfoot during those scorching Long Island afternoons.
No more cracked concrete that becomes a safety hazard. No more surfaces that get so hot you can’t walk barefoot. Just a beautiful, functional space that lets you focus on what matters – enjoying time with family and friends around your pool.
The right drainage keeps water moving away from your pool area, preventing the standing water that creates slip hazards and breeding grounds for algae. You end up with a deck that looks great and performs even better.
Ageless Chimney has been serving Bay Shore and Suffolk County homeowners since 2003, bringing over 20 years of masonry and paving expertise to every pool project. Founded by childhood friends Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right the first time.
You’ll always have an owner present during your project because we believe that’s how you get the attention to detail that matters. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded, with an A-rating from the BBB and multiple Angie’s List awards.
Bay Shore’s coastal climate demands materials and installation techniques that can handle moisture, salt air, and temperature changes. We know these conditions and choose materials that perform year after year in our Long Island environment.
First, we assess your current pool area and discuss your safety concerns, style preferences, and drainage needs. We’ll show you material options that work best for Bay Shore’s climate and explain why proper base preparation matters for long-term performance.
Next comes the foundation work that most contractors rush through but makes all the difference. We excavate to the proper depth, install the base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage. This step determines whether your pavers stay level and stable for decades or start shifting within a few years.
Finally, we install your pool patio pavers with the precision spacing and joint filling that creates both beauty and safety. Each paver is set with attention to the slip-resistant texture and drainage patterns that keep your family safe. We clean up completely and walk you through the maintenance that keeps your investment looking great.

Your pool patio paver installation includes non-slip surface textures specifically chosen for wet environments, proper drainage grading that moves water away from your pool area, and professional-grade base preparation that prevents settling and shifting over time.
Bay Shore homeowners face unique challenges with our proximity to the Great South Bay and the moisture that comes with coastal living. We select materials that handle this environment – pavers that resist salt air corrosion, maintain their color despite intense summer sun, and provide reliable traction even when wet from pool splashing or morning dew.
Every installation includes pool coping work when needed, ensuring the transition between your pool and deck is both safe and watertight. We also address any existing drainage issues that could undermine your new deck, because proper water management is essential for both safety and longevity in our Long Island climate.
Pool patio pavers offer textured surfaces that provide much better traction when wet compared to smooth concrete. The individual paver design also allows for better drainage between joints, reducing standing water that creates slip hazards.
Concrete tends to crack over time, especially with our Long Island freeze-thaw cycles, creating uneven surfaces that are both unsightly and dangerous. When pavers do need repair, you can replace individual pieces rather than having to redo entire sections.
The materials we use for pool areas – like textured concrete pavers and natural stone options – are specifically chosen for their slip-resistant properties and ability to stay cooler underfoot than standard concrete surfaces.
Proper drainage starts with the base preparation and grading work that happens before any pavers are installed. We create a slope that directs water away from your pool and house, typically at a grade of 1/4 inch per foot minimum.
The paver joints themselves provide additional drainage paths, and we use polymeric sand that allows water to pass through while preventing weed growth and pest infiltration. For areas with drainage challenges, we can install permeable pavers that allow water to filter through the surface itself.
Bay Shore’s coastal location means we often deal with higher groundwater levels and occasional flooding concerns. We account for these local conditions in our drainage design, sometimes incorporating additional subsurface drainage systems when needed for optimal performance.
For Bay Shore’s coastal climate, we typically recommend textured concrete pavers or natural stone options that can handle salt air, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Travertine and textured concrete pavers both offer excellent slip resistance and durability.
The key is choosing materials with the right porosity – enough to provide drainage and traction, but not so much that they absorb excessive moisture and become prone to freeze damage. We avoid overly smooth surfaces that become slippery when wet and dark colors that get uncomfortably hot.
Your specific pool area’s sun exposure, existing drainage, and usage patterns all factor into material selection. We’ll assess these conditions during our initial consultation and recommend options that provide the best combination of safety, durability, and appearance for your situation.
With proper installation and materials suited to our climate, pool patio pavers typically last 20-30 years or more. The key factors are using appropriate base materials, ensuring proper drainage, and selecting pavers that can handle our freeze-thaw cycles.
Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, which means your entire deck doesn’t need replacement if one area has issues. This modular approach actually extends the overall life of your pool area compared to monolithic concrete that requires complete replacement when problems develop.
Regular maintenance like joint sand replenishment and occasional cleaning helps maximize lifespan. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on the materials used in your installation, because different paver types have different care requirements for optimal longevity.
Yes, we regularly replace cracked concrete pool decks with new paver installations. The process involves removing the existing concrete, assessing the base conditions, and installing proper foundation materials before laying the new pavers.
This is often the perfect time to address drainage issues that may have contributed to the original concrete problems. We can improve the grading, add drainage systems if needed, and create a more functional pool area than you had before.
The replacement process typically takes 3-5 days depending on the size of your deck and any additional drainage work needed. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your pool usage and ensure all safety barriers are maintained during construction.
Yes, we handle complete pool surround projects including both patio pavers and pool coping installation. The coping – the edge material that caps your pool wall – needs to integrate properly with your deck pavers for both appearance and water management.
Pool coping serves important safety and functional purposes beyond aesthetics. It provides a smooth, rounded edge for safe pool entry and exit, helps direct water away from the pool structure, and creates a finished transition between your pool and deck areas.
We coordinate the coping and paver work to ensure proper drainage patterns, consistent appearance, and long-term durability. This integrated approach prevents the water infiltration issues that can develop when these elements aren’t properly coordinated during installation.
