Your pool should be a place of relaxation, not worry. When your pool deck is cracked, slippery when wet, or scorching hot underfoot, it becomes a liability instead of an asset.
Professional pool patio pavers in Riverside, NY solve these problems permanently. You get non-slip surfaces that stay cool even on Long Island’s hottest summer days. No more tiptoeing around dangerous wet spots or burning your feet on concrete.
The right pavers transform your entire pool experience. Your family can move safely around the water. Your pool area becomes the entertainment hub you always wanted. And your property value gets a significant boost from a professionally installed, beautiful pool deck that lasts for decades.
We’ve been serving Riverside and Long Island homeowners since 2006. We’ve earned A-ratings with the BBB and multiple Angie’s List awards because we do things differently.
Every job gets owner oversight. Bobby Bruno and Sherwood Adams, our founding partners, ensure your pool deck pavers are installed to manufacturer specifications with proper drainage and safety features.
We’re not just another contractor. We’re your neighbors who understand Long Island’s unique climate challenges. From Suffolk County’s sandy soil conditions to Nassau County’s varying elevations, we know how to build pool decks that handle everything our area throws at them.
Your pool deck installation starts with a thorough site assessment. We examine your existing deck, measure drainage patterns, and identify any underlying issues that need addressing before new pavers go down.
Next comes proper base preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, install 4-6 inches of compacted crushed concrete base, then add a quarter-inch layer of fine mason sand for precise leveling. This foundation prevents settling and ensures your pavers stay level for decades.
The paver installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. We set each paver with proper spacing, concrete the edges for stability, and finish with polymeric sand in the joints. Your pool deck is ready to use immediately after installation.
We handle all cleanup and provide maintenance guidelines so you know how to keep your investment looking perfect. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days depending on the size of your pool area.

Our pool patio pavers in Riverside, NY include everything needed for a complete, safe installation. You get textured, non-slip surfaces specifically designed for wet environments around pools. These aren’t standard pavers – they’re engineered for safety.
Riverside’s proximity to the Peconic River means higher humidity and more moisture challenges than inland areas. Our pavers handle these conditions with superior drainage capabilities. Water flows through joints instead of pooling on the surface, eliminating slip hazards.
We use premium materials like Cambridge pavers, travertine, and natural stone options that stay cooler underfoot. Light-colored selections reflect heat instead of absorbing it, so your family can walk barefoot comfortably even during Long Island’s hottest summer afternoons.
Every installation includes proper pool coping installation where pavers meet your pool edge. This creates a seamless, safe transition that protects both your pool structure and provides secure footing right at the water’s edge.
Pool pavers offer several safety advantages over poured concrete. The textured surface provides better traction when wet, reducing slip risks significantly. Individual pavers also create natural drainage channels between joints, so water flows away instead of pooling on the surface.
Unlike concrete that can crack and create trip hazards, damaged pavers can be individually replaced without affecting the surrounding deck. Pavers also stay cooler underfoot because they don’t absorb and retain heat like concrete slabs do.
The installation method matters too. Proper paver installation includes a slight slope away from the pool to direct water runoff, plus polymeric sand between joints that locks everything in place while still allowing drainage.
Quality pool pavers installed properly can last 50+ years in Riverside’s climate. The key factors are material selection and installation quality. Natural stone and premium concrete pavers handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, humidity from the nearby Peconic River, and salt air exposure without deteriorating.
Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly. This means annual cleaning, resealing every 2-3 years for porous materials like travertine, and promptly replacing any damaged individual pavers. The modular nature of pavers makes this maintenance much easier than repairing concrete slabs.
Weather resistance depends on proper drainage during installation. When water can’t pool and freeze in place, your pavers avoid the expansion damage that destroys other materials over Long Island winters.
In many cases, yes, but it depends on the condition of your existing concrete. If the concrete is structurally sound with only surface cracks, we can often install pavers directly over it with proper preparation. This saves time and reduces excavation costs.
However, if your concrete has significant settling, major cracks, or drainage problems, removal is usually the better long-term solution. Trying to build over a failing foundation just transfers those problems to your new pavers.
We always do a thorough assessment before recommending the best approach. Sometimes a hybrid solution works – removing the worst sections while building over stable areas. The goal is ensuring your new pool deck lasts decades without inheriting old problems.
For Long Island pool decks, travertine and light-colored concrete pavers perform exceptionally well. Travertine stays naturally cool and provides excellent slip resistance, while premium concrete pavers offer durability and design flexibility at a lower cost.
Natural stone like bluestone works beautifully but requires more maintenance. Porcelain pavers are gaining popularity for their low maintenance and heat resistance, though they cost more initially.
The best choice depends on your priorities. If safety and comfort are paramount, travertine is hard to beat. For maximum design options and value, quality concrete pavers excel. We’ll show you samples and explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific pool area and usage patterns.
Pool paver installation costs vary based on material choice, deck size, site conditions, and complexity. Basic concrete pavers typically run $12-18 per square foot installed, while premium materials like travertine range $18-28 per square foot.
Additional factors affecting cost include excavation requirements, drainage improvements, pool coping work, and site access. A typical 400 square foot pool deck ranges from $5,000-12,000 depending on materials and complexity.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly. No surprises or hidden fees. We also offer free estimates and will beat any written competitor quote because we want to earn your business through value, not just price.
Absolutely. Pool coping installation is a critical part of any pool deck project. The coping creates the finished edge where your pavers meet the pool, and it must be done correctly for both safety and aesthetics.
We install bullnose coping that provides a smooth, rounded edge that’s comfortable and safe. The coping also helps direct water away from the pool structure, preventing damage to the pool shell and surrounding pavers.
Matching your coping to your paver selection creates a cohesive look that enhances your entire pool area. We coordinate colors and textures so everything flows together seamlessly. Poor coping installation is one of the most common problems we see from other contractors, so we pay special attention to getting this detail right.
