How Much Does a Pool Patio Cost?

What's Under Our Pool Patios?

We construct our pool patios to the highest industry standards. The process begins with a solid base of compacted crushed stone, ranging from 4 to 6 inches in depth. A leveling layer of ⅜ inch crushed stone is then added to ensure a smooth surface. Next, we carefully install the pavers, secure the edges with concrete, and finish with polymeric sand to create a durable and long-lasting pool patio.

Coping

The coping is the final piece of the puzzle in creating a stunning pool. It not only protects the pool’s edge but also adds a decorative element that complements the overall design. With Cambridge Shapes, you can choose from a wide range of coping options, specifically designed for pools, steps, and other hardscape features.

Options we recommend are:

Stacked natural stone retaining walls create a terraced garden, showcasing a variety of plants and flowers.

Pitch on a Pool Patio vs. a Normal Patio

Unlike a traditional patio, a pool patio requires a dual-pitch design. Not only do we need to slope the patio away from the house to prevent water damage, but we must also ensure that water flows away from the pool. This dual-pitch approach prevents debris and water from entering the pool, maintaining its cleanliness and preventing potential damage.

Subbase Preparation

The first step in creating your dream pool patio is to establish a solid foundation. That’s why the initial step in building a pool patio is establishing the correct height and preparing the base. We thoroughly compact the soil to eliminate air pockets and voids as disturbed soil can lead to uneven surfaces and potential damage to the pavers. This meticulous process prevents future settling and guarantees a solid foundation that supports the weight of the concrete base and pavers, ensuring the longevity of your pool patio.

Pouring Concrete

Once the forms are securely in place and the soil is properly compacted, we pour a high-quality concrete base as concrete is particularly recommended for new pool installations. This step requires precision and attention to detail to ensure the concrete is poured to the correct height and level. We take precautions to protect surrounding areas and allow the concrete to cure undisturbed, ensuring optimal strength and durability. Once the concrete has completely cured, it can serve as a solid and stable platform for your pool patio pavers.

Coping, Sand & Pavers

The next step involves installing the coping, which can vary depending on the pool type and your design preferences. Whether you opt for a classic bullnose or a more modern style, our experienced team will ensure a professional installation for a seamless transition between the pool and the patio. Before laying the pavers, we prepare a fine sand bed to provide a stable and level surface. Once the pavers are in place, we can add decorative inlays or borders to boost the overall design.

To complete the project, we install a concrete edge to define the perimeter of the patio and prevent the pavers from shifting. This edge also adds a clean and polished look to the overall design. Polymeric sand is then carefully swept into the joints between the pavers, creating a durable and weed-resistant surface. While the construction process may involve some temporary mess, the end result is a stunning pool patio that will take your outdoor living to the next level. pool and patio contractors
