Pool Deck-Pavers on Sand or Concrete Sub-deck?
Comments (22)We've had our pool for 8 years and used pavers. A big reason for our choice was drainage. They did a great job and we've had no settling issues, there was even a leak that required repairs under part of the decking so that turned out to be a good choice. We did experience some mold in the wetter sections and weeds growing between pavers after a while. We recently hired a highly rated, professional paver company to redo the sand between the pavers which requires a good powerwash cleaning, replacement of the joint sand, machine-tamping it all, and a sealant. Unfortunately after a couple strong rains the sand was partially washed out in some areas. They came back and redid the entire job again only to have the issue repeat itself and now we're discussing next moves....See MoreFl East Coast coastal elevated Deck builder wanted

Comments (5)Yes, sorry for not having a picture initially... Here is a picture of the layout. The deck as you can see is VERY narrow. There is about 20 feet from the deck to where the fence will be. I've thought about doing narrow planter boxes for railings, maybe filling with some sort of grass that grows tall... I'd love your ideas! Thank you!...See MoreElevated deck options
Comments (3)If I understand your description, there will be no backfill of what looks like a 3' or 4' current grade elevation difference between the house and pool, so the deck will be built there, then wrap around the back of the pool where it has an 8' grade elevation difference next to the neighbors picket fence. If your house can realize a high caliber level which it appears it can, the deck should be detailed with the same fervor as the house and pool were. So you may want to include skirting for visual design when viewed from the yard or neighbors down the hill. The skirting doesn't have to be just a flat wood panel covering posts 4' or 8' tall, it can be the same house cladding (e.g. stucco, stone), even a design like a faux loggia presented on the 8' side. If you only care what you see when on top the deck, at least functionally a skirt closing off the short under-deck area between the house and pool might be good, it wouldn't need to be on the 8' side or follow the outermost perimeter of the entire deck....See More
