You step out of your pool onto a surface that’s not scalding hot. No puddles forming where someone could slip. No cracked sections that catch your toe or look like an eyesore.
That’s what happens when your pool deck is built with the right materials and proper installation. The pavers stay cooler than concrete, even on 90-degree days. Water drains away instead of sitting in dangerous puddles.
Your pool area becomes the place everyone wants to spend time – not the hazard zone you’re constantly worrying about.
We’ve been serving Sound Beach and Long Island since 2006. We’re the company that homeowners call when they want their pool patio pavers installed correctly the first time.
We’re not the cheapest option – and that’s actually good news for you. You’re investing in pavers that won’t shift, crack, or create drainage problems two seasons later.
Sound Beach residents know that pool areas need to handle everything from saltwater splashing to freeze-thaw cycles. We use materials and installation methods that account for Long Island’s specific conditions.
First, we assess your existing pool area and drainage patterns. Poor drainage is the number one cause of paver problems, so we address this from day one.
Next, we excavate to the proper depth and install a graded stone base. This isn’t where you want to cut corners – the base determines whether your pavers will stay level for decades or start shifting within a few years.
We then install your chosen pavers with proper spacing and joint filling. The final step is sealing, which protects against pool chemicals and prevents weeds from growing between pavers.

Every Sound Beach pool patio we install includes proper drainage design – no standing water that creates slip hazards or damages your investment. We use textured pavers that provide grip even when wet.
Sound Beach’s proximity to Long Island Sound means your pool area faces salt air and moisture year-round. We select materials that handle these conditions without deteriorating or becoming slippery.
Your installation includes a 10-year warranty because we use proven methods and quality materials. Individual pavers can be replaced if needed without tearing up the entire area – something you’ll appreciate if you ever need repairs.
Concrete pavers with textured finishes work exceptionally well for Sound Beach pool decks. They handle drainage properly, stay cooler than solid concrete, and provide the slip resistance you need around water.
Travertine is another excellent choice – it naturally stays cool and has built-in slip resistance. However, it requires sealing to handle pool chemicals effectively.
We avoid smooth surfaces or dark-colored materials that get dangerously hot. The key is choosing pavers that balance safety, comfort, and durability for Long Island’s climate conditions.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during installation. We create a slight slope that directs water away from the pool and walking areas – typically about 1/4 inch per foot.
The base preparation is critical here. We install a properly compacted stone base that won’t settle and create low spots where water collects. Many drainage problems come from poor base work.
We also use joint sand that allows water to drain through rather than creating a sealed surface. This permeable approach prevents the standing water that makes pool decks dangerous and damages pavers over time.
Yes, and this is one of the major advantages of paver pool decks over poured concrete. If a paver cracks or stains, we can remove just that section and replace it without affecting the surrounding area.
The replacement process involves carefully removing the damaged paver, checking the base underneath, and installing a new paver that matches perfectly. The repair is virtually invisible when complete.
This is especially valuable around pools where chemical spills or heavy furniture might damage individual pavers. Instead of resurfacing an entire deck, you’re looking at a simple, affordable repair.
Most Sound Beach pool patio installations take 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your project. Weather can extend this timeline since we won’t install pavers in wet conditions.
Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Days two and three cover paver installation and joint filling. The final day includes sealing and cleanup.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your pool use. If you have a functioning pool, we can often work in sections so you’re not completely without access to your pool area during installation.
Pool pavers require minimal maintenance compared to other pool deck options. Annual cleaning and resealing every 2-3 years keeps them looking good and performing properly.
The main maintenance involves cleaning between joints to prevent weed growth and checking for any pavers that might have settled. These issues are easy to address when caught early.
Pool chemical spills should be cleaned promptly to prevent staining. The sealed surface makes cleanup straightforward – just rinse with water and mild detergent if needed.
Pavers typically cost 20-40% more upfront than poured concrete, but they often cost less over time due to easier repairs and longer lifespan. Concrete pool decks that crack require complete resurfacing.
The cost varies based on paver material, pool deck size, and site conditions. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and installation costs so you can make an informed decision.
Consider that paver pool decks add more value to your home than concrete and give you repair options that concrete doesn’t offer. The investment pays off in both daily use and resale value.
