Whether you’re building new or upgrading an old surface, our team brings expert craftsmanship and years of experience to every project. In the sections below, you’ll discover how our pool deck builder services simplify the process and deliver lasting value to your home.
Pool Deck Design Ideas to Fit Your Space and Lifestyle
Designing the perfect pool deck starts with how you want to use it. Whether planning for family time, weekend entertaining, or a quiet space to unwind, we’ll help you choose a layout and features that suit your goals.
- Wrap-Around Decks for Full Access: These designs surround the entire pool, making it easy to enter from any direction and offering more space for chairs, loungers, and foot traffic. Great for larger yards or pools with high activity.
- Multi-Level Decks to Separate Spaces: These pool deck plans create flow without crowding the space, perfect for sloped yards or homeowners who want distinct areas for dining, sunbathing, or spa use.
- Built-In Seating and Lounge Zones: Integrated benches or sun decks offer permanent seating and reduce the need for cluttered outdoor furniture. They’re ideal for relaxing poolside or keeping an eye on kids without moving chairs.
- Deck Extensions for Outdoor Kitchens or Pergolas: Connect your pool deck to a shaded dining area, grilling zone, or covered pergola. This turns your pool area into a full-function backyard retreat and supports upgrades over time.
- Turf Inlays or Green Borders for Soft Contrast: Add a cool, barefoot-friendly contrast to stone or wood decks with artificial turf accents. This softens the space visually and is especially great for families with kids or pets.
- Custom Railings and Lighting for Safety and Style: LED lighting and modern rail options add visibility and design detail, making evening swims and late-night gatherings more enjoyable. These finishing touches make your deck safer without sacrificing appearance.
Pool Deck Materials That Work in Florida
Choosing the right material for your pool deck isn’t just about looks—it’s about staying cool, safe, and low-maintenance in the South Florida heat. At Fort Decks, we guide every homeowner through material selection to ensure their pool deck installation is built for longevity and everyday enjoyment.
- Travertine & Natural Stone Pavers: A popular choice for modern pool decks, travertine stays cool underfoot and offers excellent traction, even when wet. These natural stones are ideal for Florida’s climate, offering durability and a timeless look that blends beautifully with your landscaping.
- Composite Decking (Trex & TimberTech): Composite materials resist fading, warping, and moisture damage—making them a smart choice for pool deck builders in humid, high-sun areas. They’re also low-maintenance and splinter-free, giving you more time to relax and less time on upkeep.
- IPE & Tropical Hardwood Decking: For homeowners seeking richness in color and unbeatable durability, IPE and other tropical hardwoods offer a natural, long-lasting solution. These dense woods are naturally resistant to water, insects, and rot, making them ideal for custom pool deck designs in luxury homes.
- Concrete or Paver Hybrid Decks: If you’re looking for flexibility in layout and style, we also offer hybrid solutions that combine pavers with framed decking or concrete borders. These options provide a custom look with excellent durability, especially in high-traffic pool areas.
- Slip-Resistant Finishes & Drainage Options: Every material we use is selected not just for beauty but also for safety and performance. We incorporate proper grading and finish treatments to reduce slip hazards and ensure your deck drains effectively year-round.
