Decking
Many types of pool decks are possible. The following descriptions may aid you in selecting a deck for your pool plan.
Cantilevered edges are highly recommended for their finished look appearance.
Concrete – the least expensive of all decks to install. They may be colored, and finished in several textures – broom finish, mag troweled, etc. You can view decorative concrete colors at Davis Colors.
Stampcrete – concrete decks that are colored, and stamped with a texture and a design. Many designs and an infinite color palate are possible. We use Bomanite Architectural Concrete Solutions, which allows you to choose from many natural textures including slate, granite, limestone, sandstone, cobblestone and used brick.
Borderless Textured Stampcrete – similar to stampcrete but without a pattern. The texture and color render the look of a monolithic slab.
Concrete Pavers – man made blocks from the Ideal Concrete Block Company are available in in several styles and colors. These are installed over a prepared base and held in place by polymeric sand that repels grass growth. They have the advantage of being easily removed and replaced as needed.
Exposed Aggregate – a concrete deck with small stones added to the top surface. The stone selected by the customer can range from ¾” to jelly beans, and many, many colors.
Cut Stone – comes in a myriad of choices, bluestone, travertine, granite, flagstone, etc. installed over a prepared bed. They are usually held in place with mortar and mortar joints.
IPE – or Brazilian Rosewood is a very dense wood that resists moisture, infact it does not float! A good choice also because it does not produce splinters.
Mahogany – a very popular choice, nice dark colors.
