How to Transform Your Pool Deck with Natural Stone Pavers
The best natural stone pavers for your pool deck will depend on your budget, style, and the maintenance you're willing to put in. Granite is one of the best and most affordable pool deck pavers. It is also very non-slip and durable, making it a top choice.
Travertine is a high-quality material that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles, looks beautiful, and doesn't get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it is more expensive than granite.
At Cabo Brick and Stone, we help customers maximize their outdoor areas with unique natural stone paver design ideas. Here are a few considerations to bear in mind while building a natural stone paver pool deck:
Styling
Depending on the design, the overall look of a pool deck might vary drastically. Consider sophisticated vs. rustic; a sophisticated design often has sleek, clear lines, while a rustic style creates an earthy appearance with more natural, sharper lines.Color
Natural stone is available in a large array of hues and color combinations. With sufficient preparation and effort, we can locate practically any stone hue. Choose a lighter-colored stone if the pool is in direct sunshine for an extended period since this will help to reduce the temperature. Choose a hue or color scheme that complements your house, structures, and other stone in your yard or the surrounding region.Surface Texture
The stone's texture will significantly affect the appearance and feel of your pool patio's surface. A split face texture, such as that seen on salvaged board pavers, provides a distinctive and rustic appearance. A natural cleft surface is created by splitting stones following a natural groove in the stone; it has a flatter, more organic appearance than a harsh split surface. Some of the most exquisite surface textures result from sawn paver stones that are subsequently machine or manually textured.Scale
Examine the significance of the stone's size. Whether small/ medium/large, the size of the pool deck pavers will alter their appearance and feel. If the deck is expansive, try using more oversized pavers to create a sense of grandeur. Smaller pieces can be used to create elaborate patterns and can contribute to a more refined appearance.Shapes & Design Patterns
Stone paver forms, whether irregular or squares and rectangles with straight edges, may drastically alter the look of a pool deck, as can various design patterns.Warmth Underfoot
Comfort is essential when selecting pavers for a pool deck. Which sort of stone will assist in keeping the surface of the pool deck cooler? Answer: a stone that absorbs less heat. In general, stones with lighter hues absorb less heat. The preferred pool deck pavers for the local climate are light-colored granites, certain limestones, and sandstones.Resistance to Slippage
The last thing you want for a pool deck is slippery stone. Fortunately, modifications to surface grain and joints may significantly impact a deck's slip resistance.If you want superior natural stone paver installations for your pool deck, you need the skills and experience that professionals like us bring.
