Your pool decking is one of the most visible portions of your pool.  It is imperative that it be practical as well as beautiful.  Colored aggregates, stamped concrete, salt finish concrete and numerous types of stone are only a few the decking options available to you.  

We also have a great selection of beautiful, long lasting, low maintenance wood decks.  Brazilian Palope, (which looks like a gorgeous hardwood floor), White Cypress from the Pacific Northwest or a number 1 grade Redwood can easily be installed around your pool.

 

You will know how well your pool and deck have been designed when you throw your first big party.  Do you have plenty of space to spread out, or are you all bunched up elbow to elbow?  A good rule of thumb for the minimum amount of decking, is one to two times the square footage of your pool. 

It is wise to design the deck to have several separate areas for entertaining.  An area to relax and catch the sun’s rays is important.  It must be situated in the portion of your yard which receives the most sun and large enough for several chaise lounges.  Equally as important are the main dining and entertaining areas.  Walkways to and from these different sections should be of a comfortable width (normally three to four feet).  Your designer will take many things into consideration when customizing your pool.

The construction of any concrete or stone decks (with a concrete sub deck) will determine how well they stand the test of time.  Classic Reflections uses 3/8” rebar in our decks instead of wire mesh with a three to four inch sand bed.  All sub-deck soils are compacted and piers and beams are installed whenever necessary.  A minimum strength of 3000 PSI concrete is used in the construction of all of our decks.  These techniques are specifically designed to deal with the stress of the expansion and contraction of  Texas’s unpredictable soils.  Redwood expansion joints are placed liberally throughout the deck.
