Allow us to explain. 

WHAT TO CONSIDER

First of all, because you’ll mostly be spending time walking barefoot on these pool deck pavers and slabs, you want to make sure you’re selecting a comfortable texture. For example, our Ocean Grande patio slab is perfect for pool decks and patios , as its innovative concrete surface is slip-resistant and stays cooler under the feet on hot summer days due to its unique relief and light color palette. Always look at texture, and select a light shade for your pool deck pavers. 

To ensure the durability of your swimming pool design, we recommend looking into our Klean-Bloc Technology. Ever heard of it? Our Klean-Bloc technology is the solution to all your maintenance problems! In fact, it offers your pool deck pavers an advanced protective barrier against everyday wear and tear. Klean-Bloc’s unique characteristics offer stain resistance, UV Ray color protection and make it easier to wipe away drink and food spills when entertaining! You can enjoy fun days by the pool with the family completely risk-free! We personally love our Travertina Raw and Aberdeen patio slabs as they complement any exterior and benefit from our Klean-Bloc technology! 

Now that we’ve established why choosing the right paver for your pool deck is so important, here are the top 4 swimming pool design trends for the summer!

LARGE-SCALE PATTERNS

You can never go wrong with a timeless pattern! Homeowners are turning towards classic, large-scale looks that will never go out of style. A basket, tartan, or even herringbone pattern will elevate any exterior space for years to come! These homeowners opted for a basket woven pattern by mixing our Blu Grande Smooth patio slab with our Squadra and Valet pavers. We love the end result! 

MODERN AND SLEEK

Modern is a trend that is standing strong in landscape design. Homeowners love creating sleek and eye-catching looks that speak for themselves. These homeowners opted for our Hexa 60 patio slab in the color Shale Grey. 

NATURAL STONE

Most of us can agree that natural stone always looks good in a landscape design. However, it can be hard to maintain. For that reason, we've created pavers for pool decks that look and feel like natural stone but are durable and can withstand harsh climates. These homeowners used our Travertina Raw patio slab. This slab benefits from from our Klean-Bloc technology and comes in a variety of sizes. It offers a gorgeous natural stone look without all the maintenance! Who doesn't want that? 

UNIQUE TEXTURES

Textured pool decks pavers are definitely a trend more homeowners are getting behind! Our Ocean Grande patio slab has been growing in popularity over the last few years. Its texture mimics the look of the veins left behind on ocean shores and is slip-resistant, making it ideal for families!
