Pool decking
The paved surface surrounding a pool — a major budget line that's priced separately from the pool itself, by the square foot.
Pool decking is the hardscape around the pool where you walk, lounge, and place furniture. Materials range from broom-finished concrete and stamped concrete to pavers, travertine, and natural stone, with cost rising steeply across that range.
Decking is often underestimated because it's quoted separately from the pool shell, yet a generous deck can add many thousands to the total project. It connects to the pool through the coping at the water's edge.
