Pavers and pool decks in Tampa Bay & Florida’s West Coast
The deck frames the pool, carries the furniture and the enclosure, and takes the sun all day. It has to stay level, drain fast and feel good under bare feet. Zeta Construction builds paver and travertine decks as part of the pool, and patios, walkways and driveways for the rest of the home.
Built from the base up
Most deck problems start below the surface. Pavers sink when the base is thin or loose, when water runs under them, or when the edges have nothing to hold them. We excavate to the right depth, compact the base in layers, set an edge restraint and slope the deck away from the pool and the house. Drains go where the yard needs them. Then the pavers are laid, cut clean at the coping and the drains, and locked in with joint sand.
Planned with the pool and the enclosure
When we build your custom pool, the deck is designed with it: the coping, the steps to the yard, the screen enclosure footer and the pad for an outdoor kitchen. Gas, water and electrical lines run under the deck before the pavers go down, so nothing has to be lifted later. Travertine stays cooler underfoot. Concrete pavers offer more colors and patterns at a lower cost. We bring samples so you can see both in your own yard.
Patios, driveways and repairs
Not building a pool? We also build paver patios, walkways and driveways, and we fix decks that already exist. That means releveling sunken areas, replacing cracked pavers, cleaning and resealing, and resurfacing worn concrete pool decks with pavers or a new coating. If the pool needs work too, see pool renovations. For the full backyard, from the deck to the cover, see outdoor living.
