Should you install pavers around your pool area? Is it a good idea?

If you’re building or upgrading a pool area in South Florida, choosing the right decking material is just as important as the pool itself. The surface surrounding your pool plays a major role in safety, comfort, durability, and overall aesthetics. One of the best decisions you can make for your outdoor space is to install pavers around your pool—and here’s why it’s not just a good idea, but a great one.

At Sunstate Turf and Hardscapes, we specialize in transforming pool decks into stunning, functional, and long-lasting environments using high-quality pavers. Whether you're in Palm Beach or anywhere in South Florida, here’s everything you need to know about why pavers are the superior choice for your pool area.


✅ Why Pavers Are the Best Choice for Pool Decks

1. Slip-Resistant and Safe

Safety is a top priority around pools. Unlike smooth concrete or tile, pavers provide a textured, slip-resistant surface—which helps prevent slips and falls, even when wet. Many paver materials are specifically designed for use around pools to provide excellent traction for bare feet.

2. Cooler Underfoot

South Florida’s sun can be intense, especially in the summer months. The good news is that light-colored pavers stay significantly cooler underfoot than concrete or natural stone, making them more comfortable to walk on—even during peak heat.

3. Customizable and Beautiful

Pavers come in a variety of colors, shapes, textures, and patterns, giving you full design flexibility to match your home's exterior or create a resort-style oasis. Whether you prefer a modern, classic, or Mediterranean look, pavers can help bring your pool area vision to life.

4. Durability in South Florida’s Climate

Pavers are incredibly durable and able to withstand:

  • Harsh sun and UV exposure

  • Heavy rainfall and pool splashes

  • Saltwater and chlorine

  • Frequent foot traffic

They also resist cracking, which is a common issue with poured concrete in shifting soils or under extreme heat.

5. Easy Repairs and Maintenance

If a paver ever gets damaged or stained, it can be replaced individually, without disturbing the surrounding area. This is a major advantage over concrete, which often requires full resurfacing for repairs.

With occasional sealing and light cleaning, your pavers will maintain their color and integrity for years.

6. Superior Drainage

Paver systems are designed with small gaps between each unit that allow water to drain efficiently, reducing standing water and minimizing the risk of puddles, mold, or algae.


💰 Long-Term Value and ROI

While pavers may cost a bit more upfront than plain concrete, they offer much greater value over time. Their longevity, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal can:

  • Increase your home’s resale value

  • Reduce repair and replacement costs

  • Enhance your outdoor living experience

Plus, the luxurious appearance of a paver pool deck can make your home feel like a five-star resort.
