You get a pool deck that stays cool underfoot even on 95-degree days. No more burning your feet or avoiding your own backyard during summer months.
Our heat-resistant pavers reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it, keeping surface temperatures comfortable for barefoot walking. The slip-resistant textures provide safety around wet areas while sealed finishes resist Florida’s humidity, mold, and algae growth.
Your pool deck becomes the outdoor living space you actually want to use—not just look at through the window.
Mainstreet Landscaping has been family-owned and operated since 1995, serving Marion Oaks and surrounding Citrus County communities. We’re authorized contractors for premium paver manufacturers Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard.
What sets us apart is our “beyond meticulous” approach to every pool deck installation. We’re the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in the county, ensuring proper sealing and long-term protection for your investment.
As Marion Oaks residents know, Florida weather demands contractors who understand drainage, humidity, and heat challenges. We build pool decks that perform beautifully through hurricane seasons, summer heat, and daily afternoon thunderstorms.
Your pool deck installation starts with excavation and a minimum of four inches of compacted limestone base—the foundation that prevents sinking and shifting over time. This isn’t where corners get cut.
Next comes one inch of bedding sand, perfectly leveled and compacted. Each paver is individually set and checked for proper alignment and drainage slope. Polymeric sand fills joints, creating a solid, weed-resistant surface.
Finally, the entire deck receives professional sealing to protect against pool chemicals, UV rays, and Florida’s humidity. You get a pool deck built to last decades, not just look good for the first year.

Your pool deck materials are specifically chosen for Central Florida’s challenging climate. Heat-resistant pavers in light colors stay cool to the touch, while textured surfaces provide slip resistance around wet pool areas.
Marion Oaks receives significant rainfall, especially during summer months. Proper drainage design prevents water pooling and protects your deck’s structural integrity. Permeable paver options allow water to drain naturally, reducing runoff and supporting the local environment.
All materials come with manufacturer warranties and are installed following Interlocking Concrete Paving Institute standards. Whether you choose travertine for its natural cooling properties, porcelain for modern aesthetics, or concrete pavers for versatility, each option is selected to withstand Marion Oaks’ humidity, heat, and weather extremes.
Light-colored pavers reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it, keeping surface temperatures significantly cooler than dark materials. Travertine, limestone, and specially designed concrete pavers can stay 10-15 degrees cooler than standard concrete.
The paver’s composition and finish also matter. Natural stone pavers like travertine have inherent cooling properties, while porcelain pavers with thermal-resistant coatings are engineered specifically for hot climates. Proper installation with adequate base preparation also helps with heat dissipation.
A properly installed paver pool deck in Marion Oaks typically lasts 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. The key is proper base preparation—at least four inches of compacted limestone base prevent settling and shifting that cause premature failure.
Quality materials and professional installation make the difference. Cheap installations without proper base preparation often fail within 3-5 years, requiring complete replacement. With annual cleaning and sealing, premium pavers maintain their appearance and structural integrity for decades, even in Florida’s challenging climate.
Pavers offer significant advantages over poured concrete for pool decks. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, while concrete requires complete section replacement when it cracks. Pavers also provide better slip resistance and stay cooler underfoot.
Concrete is prone to cracking from ground movement and temperature changes, especially around pools where water and chemicals create additional stress. Pavers flex with ground movement and can be easily releveled if needed. They also offer design flexibility with various colors, patterns, and textures that concrete cannot match.
Proper drainage is critical in Marion Oaks due to heavy rainfall and clay soil conditions. Every pool deck installation includes proper slope design to direct water away from the pool and house foundation. We typically slope decks 1/4 inch per foot minimum.
For areas with drainage challenges, we install permeable pavers that allow water to filter through joints into the ground below. French drains or channel drains may be incorporated for severe drainage issues. The limestone base also provides natural drainage while maintaining structural stability.
Paver pool decks require minimal maintenance compared to other materials. Annual cleaning removes organic growth and stains, while resealing every 2-3 years protects against pool chemicals and UV damage. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing keep the surface looking new.
If individual pavers become damaged or stained, they can be replaced without disturbing surrounding areas. Polymeric sand between joints may need refreshing every 3-5 years depending on weather exposure. Overall, pavers require significantly less maintenance than concrete or wood decking options.
Pool deck paver installation in Marion Oaks typically ranges from $7.50-$15 per square foot depending on materials and complexity. Basic concrete pavers start around $7.50, while premium natural stone or porcelain pavers range $12-$15 per square foot installed.
Factors affecting cost include site access, existing conditions, drainage requirements, and pattern complexity. Intricate designs require more cutting and labor, increasing costs. However, the long-term value and durability of properly installed pavers often make them more cost-effective than cheaper alternatives that require replacement sooner.
