You know that feeling when your pool deck is too hot to walk on barefoot? When the concrete cracks after two years? When water pools in all the wrong places after every afternoon storm?
That stops here. Our paver pool decks stay cool underfoot, drain properly, and look the same five years from now as they do on installation day. No more avoiding your own backyard because the deck is uncomfortable or unsafe.
You get a pool area that works with Florida’s climate instead of fighting it. Your family spends time outside. Your investment holds its value. And you stop worrying about repairs every hurricane season.
We’ve been the go-to pool deck builder for Sugarmill Woods families since 1995. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or seasonal crew.
We’re your neighbors. We know Citrus County’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and permit requirements inside and out. We’ve built pool decks that survived Hurricane Ian and countless summer storms without shifting or cracking.
As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we work with the manufacturers directly. That means better pricing, faster delivery, and warranty support that actually means something when you need it.
First, we handle the permits and site prep. Florida’s sandy soil requires specific excavation depths and drainage solutions—we know exactly what your property needs based on 30 years of local experience.
Next comes the foundation work. We install the proper base materials and compaction that prevent settling and shifting. This isn’t where you cut corners if you want a deck that stays level.
Then we install your pavers with precision joint spacing and proper edge restraints. Every paver gets set to exact specifications. Finally, we apply polymeric sand and seal everything with the right products—never glossy sealers that become slip hazards around water.
You’re involved in material selection and design approval, but we handle everything else. Most pool deck installations in Sugarmill Woods take 3-5 days depending on size and complexity.

Every pool deck installation includes proper drainage design—critical in Sugarmill Woods where afternoon storms dump inches of rain in minutes. We grade everything to move water away from your pool and house.
You get non-slip paver surfaces that stay cool even in July heat. We use lighter colored pavers and textured finishes that provide grip when wet. No more burning feet or slipping accidents.
All installations include polymeric sand joints that resist ant hills and weed growth. We seal with matte-finish products that protect against stains and fading without creating slippery surfaces. Your deck looks maintained with minimal effort from you.
As Citrus County’s exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor, we use commercial-grade sealers that last longer and perform better than what most contractors can access. This isn’t available at Home Depot.
Pool deck costs depend on size, paver choice, and site conditions, but most Sugarmill Woods installations run $12-18 per square foot. A typical 400 square foot pool deck ranges from $4,800 to $7,200 installed.
Concrete pavers cost less upfront than natural stone, but both options last decades with proper installation. The bigger cost factor is usually site prep—if your yard has drainage issues or needs significant grading, that adds to the project total.
We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any site-specific requirements. No surprises, no change orders unless you request modifications during construction.
Concrete pavers and natural stone both work well in Florida, but concrete pavers offer the best value for most families. They’re engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles, resist salt damage, and stay cooler than natural stone.
Travertine is popular for luxury installations because it naturally stays cool, but it requires more maintenance and costs significantly more. Brick pavers look classic but can become slippery when wet.
We typically recommend textured concrete pavers in lighter colors. They provide excellent grip, stay comfortable underfoot, resist staining, and come in dozens of styles that complement any home architecture. Plus, if one ever cracks or stains, replacement is simple and affordable.
Most pool deck installations take 3-5 working days from start to finish. Day one is excavation and base prep. Day two is setting the pavers. Day three is joint sand and sealing.
Larger decks or complex designs with curves and patterns take longer. Weather delays are possible during rainy season, but we work around afternoon storms when possible.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your pool use. In most cases, you can use your pool the evening of day two, even before final sealing is complete. We coordinate timing based on your family’s schedule and any upcoming events or gatherings.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required in Citrus County. Pool deck permits typically cost $50-200 depending on project size, and we include this in your project estimate.
Permit requirements vary based on deck size, proximity to property lines, and whether you’re adding drainage. We know exactly what Citrus County requires and maintain good relationships with local inspectors.
The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, which we handle during the planning phase. We don’t start construction until permits are approved, and we schedule all required inspections. You don’t need to take time off work or coordinate with county offices.
Properly installed paver pool decks require minimal maintenance. Annual pressure washing keeps them looking new, and resealing every 2-3 years maintains stain resistance and color vibrancy.
The polymeric sand we use in joints resists washout and prevents weed growth, but you might need to top off high-traffic areas every few years. Individual paver replacement is rare but simple if needed.
Florida’s climate is actually easier on pavers than northern states because there’s no freeze-thaw damage. The biggest maintenance factors are keeping organic debris cleaned off (leaves, algae) and addressing any drainage issues quickly if they develop. Most of our Sugarmill Woods clients spend less than an hour per year on pool deck maintenance.
Pavers handle Florida’s soil movement and weather changes better than poured concrete. When the ground shifts—and it will in sandy Citrus County soil—individual pavers adjust without cracking. Concrete slabs crack and require expensive replacement.
Pavers also stay cooler in summer heat and provide better traction when wet. If damage ever occurs, you replace individual pavers instead of jackhammering and repouring entire sections.
The upfront cost is higher than concrete, but the long-term value is better. Pavers last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance, while concrete typically needs major repairs or replacement within 10-15 years in Florida conditions. Plus, pavers add more resale value to your home than plain concrete.
