Reasons Why You Should Incorporate Pool Decking into Your Design

April 24th, 2024

Whether your pool was built with one or not, adding decking to a poolside area has many benefits that could enhance your outdoor living. When you’re thinking about remodeling your pool to make it safer or cleaner, adding decking should be at the top of your list. If you contact JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite LTD., our team can tell you how we can completely remodel your pool, from the plaster to the decking.

Decking: The Divide Between Land and Pool

Poolside decking can pull the area around the water into a seamless design.

Pool owners remodel their pools for various reasons. Sometimes, a remodeling project can stem from necessary repairs. For example, your pool plaster may be cracked or need a touch-up. Other times, you may only want to remodel your pool to change up an outdated design or add features to meet your or your family’s needs.

There are many aspects to a pool:

  • Pool Plaster
  • Pool Coping
  • Decking
  • Water Features
  • Spa or Hot Tub
  • Equipment Replacement

JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite LTD can help you completely recreate your pool. Whether you only need a touch-up or need to change how the centerpiece of your backyard looks, our team has been remodeling pools for years. From the pool plaster to the decking, we can redo your pool so that it better fits your needs and aesthetic style.

How Decking Can Affect Your New Design

By adding decking to the area around your pool, you can make it more enjoyable and raise its value at the same time. Decking, first and foremost, makes a roomy and comfortable spot for relaxing, eating, or having friends over. It makes your outdoor living space bigger, seamlessly integrating your pool with the rest of your backyard. It’s a great place for parties by the pool, BBQs, or just a quiet evening.

Decking: The Divide Between Land and Pool

There are as many types of decking styles as there are pool designs.

In addition, pool decks can help you keep your pool clean. By creating a barrier between the water and your lawn, you lower the amount of dirt, grass, and other waste that can get into the pool, so it only needs to be cleaned every so often. When you’re thinking about remodeling your entire poolside area, don’t forget to consider how to incorporate the design of pool decking into your overall theme and style.
