Whether your pool is surrounded by an old concrete deck or one made of pavers, natural aging and wear can make it look shabby. Installing new pavers is a relatively simple fix.
Why Choose New Pavers?
The most obvious reason to install new pool pavers is if there is extensive damage that is difficult or costly to repair. Damaged pavers are a tripping hazard near the pool, plus water can get beneath the pavers and lead to more damage. Remodeling the pavers also gives your pool a facelift so it's a more attractive feature in the yard, which can be especially important if the old paver or tile designs are outdated and unattractive.
What Options Are There In Pavers?
Pool deck pavers come in a range of materials, colors, and styles. For a durable, nonstick option that provides a bit of cushioning, look into rubber pavers. There are especially nice if you have children, as they are more likely to take a tumble when walking around the pool. You can also opt for natural stone, stamped concrete, or tile pavers. There is a design for any aesthetic.
Will the Old Pavers Require Removal?
In most cases, restoration pavers can be installed directly over the old pool pavers or concrete decking as an overlay. Tearing out the old pavers is time-consuming, so the overlay method ensures your pool is ready for use much more quickly. Further, less time saves money on installation as there is less labor cost. There will also be a lower disposal fee since there are no heavy old pavers to dispose of.
Are Repairs Needed Before Installation?
Repairs are necessary only if there are issues with the old pool pavers that would make it difficult to level the new overlay. For example, your contractor may need to remove or level broken pavers, fill gaps that have formed between pavers, or smooth out bumpy areas. Once this is done, the new pavers will be installed over the top of the old surface, where great pains will be taken to make sure the new surface is quite level.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Installation time varies depending on several factors. These include the size of the pool decking that's being remodeled and the number of repairs necessary to prepare the old surface for installation. Your remodeling contractor will provide you with a time estimate for the needed work so that you can plan accordingly.
