Your pool area becomes the safe, beautiful space you actually want to use. No more worrying about slips when the deck gets wet. No more standing water that turns your pool deck into a hazard zone.
The pavers stay cool under your feet, even during those brutal Long Island summer days. Water drains away like it should instead of pooling where people walk. Individual pavers can be replaced if needed without tearing up the entire deck.
You get a pool area that looks as good as it performs, built to handle everything from pool parties to quiet family time by the water.
We’ve been handling pool patio pavers in Old Westbury and Nassau County for years. We’re the family-owned company other contractors call when they’re in over their heads.
Most of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers who know we get it right the first time. We understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal conditions and how they affect pool deck installations.
In Old Westbury, where homeowners expect quality that matches their standards, we deliver pool deck solutions that combine safety, durability, and the aesthetic appeal this community deserves.
First, we assess your pool area and plan the drainage system. Proper water flow isn’t optional – it’s what keeps your deck safe and prevents damage over time. We determine the right slope and drainage channels before any pavers go down.
Next, we prepare the base properly. This foundation work determines whether your pavers stay level and secure for decades or start shifting within a few seasons. We use the right materials and compaction techniques that handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Then we install the pavers with precise spacing and alignment. Every joint matters for both appearance and water drainage. We finish with proper sealing and joint filling that locks everything in place while allowing for natural expansion and contraction.

You get non-slip pool pavers specifically chosen for safety around water. We use materials like textured concrete, travertine, and porcelain that provide grip even when wet, because slip resistance isn’t negotiable around pools.
Pool coping installation that creates clean edges and proper water management. The coping directs splash water away from the deck surface and provides a comfortable edge for pool users. We handle both replacement of cracked existing coping and new installations.
Proper drainage systems designed for Old Westbury’s specific conditions. Long Island gets heavy rains and coastal moisture that can overwhelm poorly planned drainage. We create slopes and channels that move water away from your deck and foundation, preventing the standing water that creates safety hazards and material damage.
Pool pavers offer several safety advantages over concrete or other solid surfaces. The textured surfaces of materials like travertine, textured concrete, and properly finished porcelain provide better grip when wet, reducing slip hazards significantly.
Individual pavers also allow for better drainage between joints, so water doesn’t pool on the surface like it does with solid concrete. If a paver becomes damaged or excessively worn, you can replace just that section instead of dealing with cracks that spread across an entire concrete deck.
The modular nature of pavers also means they handle freeze-thaw cycles better than solid surfaces, reducing the cracking and heaving that create trip hazards over time.
Proper drainage is critical for pool decks in Old Westbury because of our coastal climate and occasional heavy rainfall. We create a slight slope away from the pool – usually about 1/4 inch per foot – so water naturally flows away from the walking surface.
We also install drainage channels around the pool perimeter when needed to capture splash water and direct it toward appropriate drainage areas. The joints between pavers are filled with materials that allow water to pass through while keeping the pavers stable.
For Old Westbury properties, we often need to coordinate with existing landscape drainage and consider how pool deck runoff affects other areas of your property. Getting this right prevents both immediate safety issues and long-term foundation problems.
For Long Island’s coastal environment and temperature swings, we typically recommend travertine, textured concrete pavers, or high-quality porcelain. Travertine naturally stays cool and provides excellent slip resistance, making it ideal for families with children.
Textured concrete pavers offer the most design flexibility and handle our freeze-thaw cycles well when properly installed. They’re also the most cost-effective option while still providing the safety and durability you need.
Porcelain pavers are becoming more popular because they resist staining from pool chemicals and require minimal maintenance. They can mimic natural stone or wood while providing superior durability and consistent slip resistance.
Most pool patio paver projects in Old Westbury take 3-5 days for proper installation, depending on the size and complexity of your deck area. This includes time for base preparation, which is critical for long-term performance.
Weather can affect the timeline – we won’t install pavers in rain or when temperatures are too low, because proper base compaction and joint filling require appropriate conditions. Rushing the process to meet a deadline usually creates problems later.
For projects that include pool coping replacement or extensive drainage work, add 1-2 additional days. We’d rather take the time to do it right than create problems you’ll have to fix later. Most customers find that a few extra days upfront save months of headaches down the road.
Yes, replacing cracked concrete pool decks with pavers is one of our most common projects in Old Westbury. Cracked concrete around pools isn’t just unsightly – it’s a safety hazard and often indicates underlying drainage or foundation issues.
We remove the old concrete, address any drainage problems that caused the original cracking, and install a proper paver system with appropriate base preparation. This eliminates the recurring crack problems while giving you a safer, more attractive pool area.
The paver replacement process typically takes longer than a new installation because of the removal work, but you end up with a superior surface that won’t develop the same problems as the original concrete. Individual pavers can be replaced if needed without affecting the entire deck.
Pool paver maintenance in Old Westbury is straightforward but important for longevity. Regular cleaning with a hose and occasional pressure washing keeps them looking good and removes pool chemical residue that can cause staining over time.
Joint sand may need refreshing every few years, especially after heavy rains or if you notice weeds growing between pavers. We use polymeric sand that resists washout, but Long Island’s weather can still affect it over time.
Sealing depends on the material – travertine benefits from sealing every 2-3 years to resist staining, while porcelain typically doesn’t need sealing. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on the materials we install for your project, because proper care keeps your investment looking and performing like new.
