Premium Paver & Travertine Pool Deck Installation
Installation of stone pavers and travertine for a luxury pool deck aesthetic that stays cool.
Elevate your pool area with premium stone pavers or natural travertine. These elegant materials not only look stunning but also stay cooler underfoot than traditional concrete, making them perfect for Arizona’s climate.
Why Choose Pavers?
Pavers offer several advantages over poured concrete or Cool Deck coating:
- Premium appearance that increases home value
- Naturally cooler than standard concrete (especially travertine)
- Repairable - individual pavers can be replaced
- No cracking like poured concrete
- Excellent drainage between pavers
- Long lifespan (25-50+ years)
Paver Options
Travertine Pavers
The gold standard for pool decks. This natural limestone has been used around Mediterranean pools for centuries.

- Very durable
- Available in various finishes
Colors: Ivory, walnut, silver, gold, and multi-colored blends
Finishes: Tumbled, honed, brushed, or unfilled
Concrete Pavers
Modern concrete pavers offer excellent durability and endless design possibilities at a lower cost than natural stone.
Benefits:
- More affordable than natural stone
- Consistent sizing and color
- Many patterns available
- Interlocking design prevents shifting
- Easy to replace individual pavers
Styles: Traditional, contemporary, cobblestone, slate look
Natural Stone Pavers
For a truly unique look, natural stone like flagstone, slate, or quartzite creates a one-of-a-kind pool deck.
Options:
- Flagstone (irregular shapes)
- Slate (rich colors)
- Quartzite (sparkle and durability)
- Limestone (similar to travertine)
Installation Process
1. Design Consultation
We help you select the right paver style, color, and pattern for your home and pool design.
2. Site Preparation
Existing deck is removed (if applicable) and the base is properly excavated and graded for drainage.
3. Base Installation
Multiple layers of compacted aggregate create a stable, long-lasting foundation.
4. Sand Bed
A layer of bedding sand provides the setting surface for pavers.
5. Paver Installation
Pavers are carefully laid in your chosen pattern, cut precisely around pool edges and obstacles.
6. Joint Sand & Compaction
Polymeric sand is swept into joints and the entire surface is compacted.
7. Sealing
A quality sealer protects your new deck and enhances color.
Cost Considerations
Pavers represent a larger upfront investment than Cool Deck coating:
| Option | Cost per Sq Ft | 500 Sq Ft Deck |
|---|---|---|
| Cool Deck | $5-10 | $2,500-5,000 |
| Concrete Pavers | $12-20 | $6,000-10,000 |
| Travertine | $20-35 | $10,000-17,500 |
| Premium Natural Stone | $30-50+ | $15,000-25,000+ |
While more expensive initially, pavers last longer and add more value to your property. For homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term, pavers are often the better investment.

Pavers Questions
Common questions about our service.
Are pavers cooler than concrete?
Generally, yes. Travertine in particular stays noticeably cooler than poured concrete due to its natural porosity and lighter colors. However, darker pavers can get quite hot. We recommend lighter-colored options for maximum heat reduction.
How long do pavers last?
Quality pavers can last 25-50+ years with proper installation. Travertine is particularly durable. Unlike concrete that can crack, individual pavers can be replaced if damaged.
What's the maintenance like?
Pavers require periodic sealing (every 2-3 years) to maintain appearance and prevent staining. They may also need occasional re-leveling as sand settles. Overall, maintenance is manageable for most homeowners.
