Paver Pool Decks, Patios & Walkways in Phoenix, AZ

Central and historic Phoenix neighborhoods are full of 1950s and 60s homes, and many of the pools behind them still have their original concrete deck. By now those slabs tend to be cracked, patched, or separating from the coping. Replacing them with travertine is the most common paver request we get in these parts of town, because the stone runs much cooler underfoot than bare concrete and gives the pool a clean edge again. Mature trees bring roots to cut back and soft spots that need fresh base, and narrow side yards mean base rock and pavers often come in by hand.

North Phoenix, Laveen and Estrella are a different job. These are newer subdivisions on former farmland and desert, and plenty of the backyards have never had a deck, patio or path. That gives us room to plan the whole layout at once: a pool deck that steps out into a shaded patio, a walkway along the side yard to the equipment pad, and a slope on every surface that carries runoff toward the yard instead of back at the slab.

Caliche turns up all over the city, from Ahwatukee to Deer Valley. When we hit that hard, cemented layer during excavation, we break it out to the depth the base needs rather than setting pavers on top of it, because caliche drains poorly and traps water under the surface. When a deck is part of a pool build or remodel, we fold it into the City of Phoenix permitting and inspections we already manage.
