Pool Decking
An inground pool is an amazing addition to a backyard, but to turn the space into a true oasis, it’s important to get the pool decking that reflects your style and the vibe of your home. The landscape designers at Visionary Landscaping in Shelby Township, MI, deliver unique looks, safe designs, and smart installation for any outdoor space that features a pool.
Why You Need Pool Decking
Pool decking has a cosmetic function, expanding the square footage of your pool and making room for lounging, pool accessories, and keeping grass out of the pool. The functional purpose of decking is to provide a secure walking area for people and pets anytime they get in or out of the water, whether moving between the pool ladders and the house, slides and fire pits, diving boards and patios.
Most people sport bare feet in this area, so you want to select materials for pool decking that are not slippery when wet or extremely hot when the summer sun beats down. Both comfort and safety are important to keep in mind while designing this unique part of your yard.
Pool Decking Options
Hardscape surfaces are a great choice for pool decking. Consider the following materials to cover the ground around your pool:
- Poured concrete: Water-resistant, durable, and slip-resistant, concrete is a common choice for pool decking. It can be poured in a variety of shapes and patterns.
- Pavers: The pros offer geometrical shapes, from squares to octagons, and design pool decking in attractive patterns to suit your style and preferences.
- Brick: You’ll get a classic look with durable brick pool decking and bricks come in a variety of colors to match your home.
- Stone: Tile made of stone is available in materials like travertine, sandstone, and limestone for a natural, unglazed look and material that is pleasant to walk upon.
Complements to Pool Decking
There are many ways to elevate the look of your backyard beyond the pool while complementing pool decking at the same time:
- Water features: The only thing better than a pool in the backyard is more water. Fountains, bubblers, water walls, pool scuppers, and more can be added to the pool, drain into the pool, or feature elsewhere in your outdoor space.
- Walkways: Connect pool decking to other outdoor spaces with customized walkways that make it convenient to travel from the pool to another part of the backyard.
- Fire Pit: There’s nothing nicer than cozying up by the fire after a dip in the pool, especially on cool summer nights. A nearby fire pit offers seating, warmth, and (hopefully) snacks.
- Patio: Many homeowners choose to extend their pool decking into a patio or blend it into an existing area, so the space is beautifully combined.
- Softscaping: Shrubbery, flowers, trees, plants, and other greenery offset the lines of hardscaping and add texture and beauty for a soothing outdoor area.
- Lighting: Light features can be added to columns, stairs, patios, or stacked seating areas for extra illumination and soothing ambiance.
