Summer is here!
Warm weather has finally made its way to The Prairie State, and it couldn’t have come soon enough. Of course, hot temperatures give people the desire to cool off, and there is no better way to chill out than taking a dip in your freshly filled pool. The only problem is that the surrounding area of your pool might not be quite as pristine as the water in your pool. Whether you’re looking to complete your above-ground pool or take your in-ground pool to the next level, we have you covered with the custom pool deck of your dreams.
Swimming in a Material World
According to the Declaration of Independence, “All men are created equal, but pool deck materials are not.” The inequality of pool deck and patio materials isn’t really referred to in the Declaration of Independence, but that doesn’t make it any less true. You may think you want wood for your above-ground pool’s deck, but the reality is that if you opt for wood, your deck will require frequent power-washing, sanding, and sealing in order to keep it looking as beautiful as the day it was built. For a more durable, moisture resistant, and low maintenance option, wood-like composite materials and plastic decking will save you from having to shell out for costly repairs, and your deck will look good for longer.
Have an in-ground pool? In-ground pools offer homeowners a plethora of options for not only decks, but also for patios and surrounding areas. Along with the aforementioned wood, composite lumber, and plastic decking, in-ground pool owners can take advantage of the low-profile of their pools and opt for natural stone, poured concrete, or pavers. The right material is different for every homeowner, but usually the material around the pool matches the other hardscape materials found around your home, such as your sidewalk or porch.
Why Stop at Your Custom Pool Deck or Patio?
While many pool owners are more than satisfied with a pool deck or patio, others like to expand their aquatic entertainment area even further. One way to upgrade your newly remodeled pool deck or patio is to add on an outdoor kitchen. Grills, refrigerators, sinks, wine chillers, dishwashers, and even wood pizza ovens are at your disposal. What better way to host a pool party than to make it a dinner party?
In addition to outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fire places are a great way to warm up after taking a dip on a cool summer night or to roast marshmallows with your family and friends, in the comfort of your own backyard. And if fire isn’t hot enough for you, you could always have a hot tub installed.
