LOS ANGELES, CA – January 28, 2009: Pacific Pavingstone Inc., (http://www.pacificpavingstone.com) one of the largest paving stone driveway, patio, pool deck and walkway installation companies in Southern California is busy installing paving stone pool decks just in time for the hot weather!
Pool decks made with paving stones offer the owner and their family many benefits over concrete. There are three main benefits of paving stone pool-decks; easy access to pipes beneath them, less-slippery surface and cooler surface temperatures. These benefits are helping paving stones quickly become the popular choice of materials for pool-decks.
The first benefit we discussed was the easy access when plumbing issues arise. It is much easier to get under paving stones than concrete and, best of all, pulling up paving stones causes no permanent damage to your deck. If you had to fix a plumbing problem under concrete, you would be forced to bust up the concrete causing permanent, irreversible damage to your deck. With paving stones, you just have to lift up the stones that the pipes are under and then simply put them back in place when you are finished. There is no damage to the stones, and no one will be able to tell that they were ever moved.
Secondly, paving stones slightly textured surfaces offers some traction when people are walking with wet feet around the pool! Have you ever been worried about your kids slipping on the edge of the pool-deck? Or maybe even personally slipped on a cement pool-deck? Well, paving stones help manage some of that worry. Their rougher texture makes them harder to slip on and easier to walk around on. Lastly, on those hot summer days you won’t have to worry about scalding your feet on hot cement. Paving stones have a cooler surface temperature, making them much kinder on swimmers bare feet!
So, with summer drawing closer and prime pool time approaching take time to think about your pool area. Need some ideas? Are you unsure of how paving stones would look around your pool-deck? Check out the gallery of paving stone pool-decks to see the countless varieties and options!
