Your pool is the centerpiece of your backyard—but the decking around it sets the stage for how you’ll enjoy it. The right pool decking not only improves safety but also enhances beauty, functionality, and comfort.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we specialize in building custom pool decks that transform ordinary backyards into luxurious retreats. Here are top pool decking ideas to inspire your design.

1. Paver Pool Decks for Style and Durability

Pavers are one of the most popular options for pool decking, and for good reason.

Benefits include:

• Slip-resistant textures for safety
• Cooler underfoot than poured concrete
• Endless styles, patterns, and color combinations
• Easy to repair by replacing single pavers

We design paver pool decks that blend elegance and practicality.

2. Turf and Paver Combinations

For a modern, fresh look, combine artificial turf with pavers around your pool.

Why it works:

• Provides soft, barefoot-friendly areas
• Adds a vibrant, green accent year-round
• Requires no mowing or watering
• Perfect for lounging and play zones

This combo delivers a resort-like feel in your backyard.

3. Concrete Decking with Custom Finishes

Stamped or textured concrete is another excellent poolside choice.

Pros:

• Affordable and durable
• Can mimic natural stone or wood patterns
• Wide range of finishes and colors
• Smooth installation for larger areas

We customize finishes to match your home’s architecture and outdoor theme.

4. Add Shade with Pergolas or Covered Zones

A pool deck isn’t complete without shaded areas to cool down.

Ideas:

• Pergolas over lounge chairs or dining areas
• Canopies or retractable awnings
• Vines and climbing plants for natural shade
• Integration with lighting for evening use

We design poolside shade solutions that add comfort and sophistication.

5. Enhance Safety and Ambiance with Lighting

Lighting is essential for both function and aesthetics.

Poolside lighting options:

• Recessed paver lights along the deck
• LED strip lights under steps or seating walls
• Spotlights on landscaping and water features
• Smart controls for color-changing effects

Our landscape lighting ensures your pool is stunning day and night.

6. Create Multi-Level Pool Decks

For sloped yards or dramatic designs, multi-level decking adds dimension.

Benefits:

• Separate zones for lounging, dining, and entertaining
• Built-in retaining walls for support and style
• Terraced steps that double as seating
• Expands functionality without losing space

We build custom layouts that maximize every inch of your yard.
