Pool Deck Construction
Pool deck construction is the surface around the pool: the base, drainage slope, coping edge and the finish you walk on, built to shed water away from the pool and the house.
Beautiful, slip-resistant decks that complete your outdoor space.

How it works
Pool Deck Construction, step by step
The order of work. Playwell gives a project-specific schedule after the site review.
- Layout and drainage planDeck size and shape, slope away from the pool and house, and where the water goes.
- Base preparationGrade and compact the base so the deck does not settle unevenly.
- Plumbing and electrical checkLines under the deck are pressure tested and inspected before they are covered.
- Coping and edgeThe coping at the pool edge is set to tie the deck to the pool.
- SurfacePavers, broom-finished or textured concrete, or another surface you choose, laid or poured to the drainage plan.
- Joints and sealingControl or expansion joints and any sealer the surface needs.

Pool Deck Construction: common questions
What deck surfaces are common in Central Florida?
Concrete pavers, travertine pavers, and poured concrete with a broom, textured or spray finish are all common. Lighter, textured surfaces stay cooler and less slippery underfoot.
Does a pool deck need a permit?
Usually it is part of the pool permit, and the deck and piping are inspected before they are covered. A raised wood deck or platform is different: Orange County, for example, requires a separate permit with sealed plans.
Can you replace the deck on an existing pool?
Yes. Deck replacement on an existing pool is quoted after a site review of the current deck, coping and drainage.
Should the screen enclosure be planned with the deck?
Yes. Enclosure footings or beams sit at the deck edge, so planning both together avoids cutting a new deck later.
