Pool Deck
We can create a variety of outdoor features that will complement your in-ground pool and backyard space.
Some of the outdoor features we specialize in include outdoor kitchens, pergolas, gazebos, pool decks, and patios. Contact us to see what other features and add-ons we can include in our design process for you before we start installing or building.
Patios and Decking
Essential to the backyard in-ground pool experience is a good patio or deck to walk on. We can create decking made out of concrete, spray deck, pavers, travertine, and more. In addition to creating a new deck for you, we also offer patio extensions if you have an existing patio you are not satisfied with.
In-ground pool patio and deck space are the walking areas around your pool that you can use to lounge, for storage, or to dine. Once the deck or patio for your pool has been installed, you can furnish the area with patio furniture, outdoor accessories, and more.
The installation of a pool deck or patio can be beneficial to your pool for a number of reasons, including cleanliness. Without a patio or pool deck, you would most likely be tracking mud and grass into your pool’s water. This can be a huge pain to clean, and you can avoid this issue by simply investing in a pool deck or patio.
In addition to protecting your pool, a pool deck or patio can protect your lawn from the chemicals used to maintain your gunite pool. Chlorine can kill grass, so you should avoid this to maintain the aesthetic of your yard.
Safety is another benefit of patio and decking for in-ground pools. They provide a safe place for you to walk without the danger of tumbling into the water below. You can also choose a less slippery building material if this is one of your primary concerns.
Materials For Patios and Pool Decks
One of the materials we offer that the pool contractors at PBNMT can build you a pool deck or patio out of is concrete. Concrete is a more cost-effective option when compared to other types of materials. It is also a very flexible medium that has a lot of style options. The durability of concrete is another thing that makes it an attractive option.
However, when compared to other pool deck and patio options, concrete can be more slippery when wet. It can also develop cracks over time. A few ways concrete can be stylized and customized is with the texture options of broomed concrete, stamped concrete, and textured concrete.
Spray deck is another option for the building materials of your pool deck and patio. It is a decorative overlay that is added on top of a concrete deck or patio. The benefit of this material is that it gives previously boring concrete a beautifully textured surface. It is also cost-effective as it can transform a concrete patio or pool deck that you already had into something you can be proud of without tearing up the old structure. Spray deck can even be personalized with a number of color choices.
Yet another material we can create a patio or pool deck out of is pavers. Pavers, or paving stones, can be made from a number of materials like brick, concrete, stone, and travertine. They can come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, but they are generally made of smaller pieces that are fitted closely together. Since pavers break up your deck or patio area into many small sections, it is typically more slip-resistant than a large slab like concrete. The wide variety of pavers available for you to choose from is one of the major benefits of this material.
Travertine is yet another material that we offer for the construction of patios and pool decks by our pool contractors. It is a type of limestone with several color varieties ranging from white to light brown and rust. A particular benefit of travertine is that it is slip-resistant because of the porous nature of the stone. It is also durable, strong, and more resistant to heating up than other options. The benefits of travertine have stood the test of time as it has been a building material used for centuries.
What You Can Build On Top of a Pool Deck or Patio

The Convenience of Outdoor Kitchens
If you’ve ever worked up an appetite while enjoying an afternoon swim, you’ll know how frustrating it can get to have to go inside and prepare a meal. However, you won’t have to stop the fun when you make use of an outdoor kitchen. We can even add or attach appliances like refrigerators and grills in your outdoor kitchen for your convenience and recreation.
Having a sink and counter space can also be incredibly important to kitchen activities. At Pool Builders Near Me Texas, you will have many kitchen appliance style options to choose from to help you create a space that is both functional and elegant. We can accommodate counter space that you can use to lay out all your ingredients and utensils.
Perch Under a Pergola
A pergola is a type of outdoor structure that can add beauty and shade to your yard. This type of structure is made of columns that rise into the air to support a grid roof structure made of beams and rafters. You can leave the grid open or covered depending on your preference and anticipated weather or temperatures. A pergola can create a shaded walkway or sitting area for you to enjoy while you’re outside.
There are many plants that can be trained to climb your pergola and create a stunning garden feature. Roses, wisteria, bougainvillea, and grapevine are all common examples of plants you can add to your pergola after its construction. Of course, if you don’t have a green thumb, a common favorite is simple vines that will naturally climb their way up once planted.
Gaze Out from Beneath a Gazebo
Unlike a pergola, a gazebo is more of a pavilion structure that can have either a built-in floor or a concrete base. A typical shape for a gazebo is an octagon. Like a pergola, a gazebo can provide you with a shady spot to rest while you’re enjoying the outdoors. You can avoid direct sunlight while still taking in everything your newly enhanced backyard has to offer.
