At J Squared, we specialize in landscape design and build projects, with a focus on residential landscape remodeling. One of the common issues we encounter is old swimming pools with outdated concrete decks and unsightly white coping strips. Many of our clients are surprised to learn that we can completely transform the look of their pool deck, making it an attractive and inviting feature of their outdoor space.
Common Pool Deck Issues Does your pool deck suffer from any of these problems?
Aging concrete: Is the surface sinking, settling, or cracked?
Outdated white bullnose coping: The white trim around the perimeter of your pool might be an eyesore, detracting from the overall aesthetic.
Something like this?
The Solution: Pavers We have a solution! By replacing old, worn-out concrete with pavers, we can give your pool deck a fresh, modern look. Pavers come in a variety of styles, colors, and textures, allowing you to customize the design to complement your home and landscape.
Why Choose Pavers for Your Pool Deck?
Durability: Pavers are built to last and withstand the elements, ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful pool deck.
Low maintenance: Unlike concrete, pavers are easy to maintain and repair, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Aesthetic appeal: Pavers provide a clean, sophisticated look, transforming your pool area into a stunning focal point of your backyard.
Here’s the revised version of that section:
Our pool deck transformation process is thorough, ensuring a beautiful and long-lasting result.
Here's how we do it:
Bullnose Coping Installation: We begin by cutting and adhering a bullnose coping around the perimeter of the pool, with a 2-inch overhang. This provides a polished, finished look and effectively conceals the old white coping strip.
Paver Installation Over Concrete: Next, we level the existing concrete surrounding the pool and cover it with high-quality pavers. By utilizing proven techniques, we've achieved excellent longevity when installing pavers over concrete. The end result is stunning, dramatically improving the look of your pool area.
Safety Cover Anchor Reinstallation: One common concern is how safety cover anchors will be installed in the new pavers. It's actually quite simple—we use GPS surveying equipment to record the exact location of each anchor before we cover them with pavers. This allows us to easily drill new anchors in the precise spots when it's time to re-install the safety cover.
Reinstalling Pool Features: In addition to upgrading the pool deck, we can also reinstall existing features like diving boards, slides, railings, and ladders into the new pavers. This seamless integration ensures that your pool remains fully functional while looking better than ever.
This approach offers a complete solution for your pool deck, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal.
With this process, you’ll not only enjoy a refreshed pool area but also gain a durable, long-lasting surface that elevates the entire backyard experience!
