ENGINEERED WORKFLOW

Our 4-Step Deck Construction Process

How we build pool decks that resist Georgia red clay shifting and freeze cycles.

01

Soil Excavation & Compacted Base

We excavate loose soil down to hard Georgia clay, laying a 6-inch GAB stone sub-base compacted to 98% density to prevent paver sinking.

02

Rebar Reinforcement & Pitch Slope

Decking pads are pitched at 1/4 inch per foot away from the pool edge to direct rainwater into channel drains rather than your pool water.

03

Coping Stone Mortar Setting

Bullnose travertine or natural flagstone coping pieces are hand-mortared onto the bond beam, creating a smooth, rounded pool lip.

04

Polymeric Sand & Anti-Slip Sealer

Polymeric joint sand is vibrated between paver seams to block weed growth, followed by a commercial anti-slip acrylic protective coat.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Pool Deck Installations FAQ

Get quick answers about pool deck materials, slip safety, and sealing.

Are travertine pavers slippery when wet?

No. Tumbled travertine pavers feature a porous, micro-textured surface that provides excellent slip-resistant traction for wet feet.

How do you prevent pool decks from cracking in Georgia clay soil?

We excavate down to stable sub-soil, install a 4-inch compacted crushed stone base grid, and place control joints every 10–12 feet.

What is pool coping stone and why is it needed?

Coping is the smooth cap trim edging surrounding the top rim of the pool shell. It creates a safe grab ledge and directs splash water away into patio drainage.

How often should a pool deck be sealed?

We recommend applying a penetrating acrylic sealer every 3 to 5 years to protect stone pavers and stamped concrete against chlorine, salt, and UV fading.
