We design and install custom pool decks in South Jersey that transform your backyard into a personal oasis. A pool is the centerpiece of summer relaxation and entertainment, but the surface surrounding it is what defines the space, ensuring it is safe, functional, and beautiful. Since 2003, our team at SandersScaping LLC, operating out of our Mount Royal and Haddon Township locations, has specialized in creating hardscapes that not only complement your pool but also enhance your entire outdoor living experience, adding lasting value to your home.
The Superior Choice: Interlocking Pavers for Pool Decks
While poured concrete has been a traditional choice for pool surrounds, its performance in the South Jersey climate is flawed. We build exclusively with interlocking paver systems, a material that offers significant advantages in safety, durability, and design.
- Enhanced Safety: Safety is the most important factor around a pool. Paver surfaces are naturally slip-resistant due to their texture and the numerous joint lines, providing better traction for wet feet. In contrast, concrete can become very slick when wet, especially if it has been sealed, posing a significant hazard. Additionally, light-colored pavers stay much cooler under the hot summer sun than concrete, protecting bare feet from uncomfortable heat.
- Unmatched Durability: Interlocking pavers are engineered to be 3-4 times stronger than poured concrete, withstanding pressures of up to 8,000 PSI. This strength is critical for a high-traffic area. More importantly, the joints between each paver allow the entire surface to flex with the ground during the freeze-thaw cycles of our winters. This prevents the widespread cracking that is practically guaranteed to occur with a rigid concrete slab.
- Lasting Beauty and Easy Repairs: If a single paver ever becomes stained or damaged, it can be lifted out and replaced seamlessly. Repairing a crack in a concrete deck, however, is a difficult process that almost always leaves a visible, unattractive patch. Pavers also retain their color better over time, as the pigment is consistent throughout the entire stone, unlike stamped concrete where the color is often just a surface layer that can fade and wear away.
A Complete Poolside Environment
A truly great pool area is more than just the deck itself. Our hardscaping services extend to every element needed to create a complete and functional outdoor retreat. We don't just build a surface; we design an entire environment tailored to how you live and entertain. This includes adjoining patios for dining and lounging, retaining walls to create beautiful, multi-level terraces, and built-in seated walls for guests. We also construct stylish and durable paver walkways to connect your pool deck to your home and other parts of your landscape, ensuring a cohesive design. For the ultimate poolside experience, we can integrate custom outdoor kitchens and fire pits.
Quality Materials and Professional Installation
The longevity of your pool deck depends on the quality of both the materials and the installation. We partner with industry-leading manufacturers like EP Henry and Techo-Bloc, who offer extensive lines of pavers specifically suited for pool decks, including bullnose coping for a safe, rounded pool edge. Our installation process focuses on building a properly engineered and compacted base, which is the key to preventing shifting or settling over time and ensuring your investment lasts for decades.
A professionally designed and installed paver pool deck is an investment that pays dividends in lifestyle and property value. It creates a safe, beautiful, and low-maintenance space for making memories.
