You’ll finally have a pool deck that stays cool underfoot, even during Florida’s hottest summer days. No more burning your feet or worrying about slips and falls on wet concrete.
The right materials make all the difference. Heat-resistant pavers reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it, keeping surfaces comfortable for barefoot walking. Slip-resistant textures provide secure footing around water.
Your outdoor space becomes the gathering place you always wanted—safe for kids, comfortable for adults, and built to handle Black Diamond’s weather extremes year after year.
Mainstreet Landscaping has been building pool decks in Black Diamond and throughout Citrus County since 1995. We understand Florida’s unique challenges—the intense sun, heavy rains, and high humidity that destroy inferior materials.
As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we work exclusively with premium manufacturers. Our “beyond meticulous” approach means getting the foundation right the first time, using proper drainage, and installing materials that last decades.
Local families trust us because we’re invested in the community. We participate in hurricane cleanup, support local youth programs, and offer military discounts. When you work with Mainstreet, you’re working with neighbors who plan to be here for the long haul.
Every pool deck project starts with a site assessment. We evaluate your existing space, drainage patterns, and how you plan to use the area. This determines the best materials and design approach for your specific situation.
Next comes proper foundation preparation. We excavate to the correct depth, install compacted limestone base material, and create the drainage systems that prevent water pooling. Most pool deck problems stem from shortcuts during this critical phase.
Material installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. Each paver is leveled, aligned, and secured using proven techniques. We finish with joint sand application and sealing to lock everything in place. The result is a surface that handles foot traffic, furniture, and Florida weather without shifting or cracking.

Pool deck success in Black Diamond comes down to choosing materials that handle the climate. We use heat-resistant pavers in light colors that reflect sunlight and stay cool underfoot. These aren’t standard concrete pavers—they’re engineered specifically for poolside applications.
Slip resistance is non-negotiable around water. The pavers we install provide secure footing when wet, reducing accident risk for all ages. Textured surfaces and proper grading channel water away from walking areas.
Florida’s rainy season tests every pool deck. Our installations include integrated drainage systems and permeable options that handle heavy rainfall without creating standing water. This prevents the pooling issues that make concrete decks dangerous and unsightly during summer storms.
Pavers outperform concrete in Florida’s climate because they’re designed to flex with ground movement instead of cracking. Concrete pool decks develop cracks from ground settling, tree roots, and temperature changes—problems that are expensive to repair and often unsafe around water.
Pavers also stay significantly cooler in direct sunlight. Light-colored pavers reflect heat instead of absorbing it, making them comfortable for barefoot walking even during Black Diamond’s hottest summer afternoons. Concrete absorbs and radiates heat, often becoming too hot to walk on.
Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, while concrete requires major sections to be broken up and repoured. This makes long-term maintenance much more affordable and less disruptive to your outdoor space.
Most residential pool deck installations in Black Diamond take 3-5 business days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Weather can extend this timeline during Florida’s rainy season, but proper planning minimizes delays.
The first day involves excavation and base preparation—the most critical phase that determines long-term performance. Days two and three typically involve setting pavers and making adjustments. The final day includes joint sand application, compaction, and sealing.
We won’t rush the process to meet arbitrary deadlines. Proper curing time between phases ensures your pool deck performs correctly for decades. It’s better to take an extra day and do it right than to cut corners and deal with problems later.
Paver pool decks require minimal maintenance compared to concrete alternatives. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing keep them looking fresh. The sealed surface resists staining from pool chemicals, sunscreen, and organic debris.
Joint sand may need replenishment every 2-3 years, depending on usage and weather exposure. This is a simple process that prevents weed growth and maintains structural integrity. Some homeowners handle this themselves, while others prefer professional service.
Sealing every 3-5 years protects against fading and enhances stain resistance. In Black Diamond’s intense sun, this extends the life and appearance of your investment significantly. The process takes one day and provides years of additional protection.
Yes, we regularly install new pool decks around existing pools throughout Black Diamond and Citrus County. This is actually one of our most common projects, as homeowners replace failing concrete or upgrade outdated materials.
The process involves careful demolition of existing surfaces while protecting pool equipment and landscaping. We work around plumbing, electrical, and drainage systems that can’t be moved. Proper planning ensures minimal disruption to your pool use during installation.
Existing pools often have drainage issues that concrete couldn’t solve. Installing pavers with proper base preparation and drainage systems eliminates standing water problems and creates the functional outdoor space you’ve been wanting.
Mainstreet Landscaping provides comprehensive warranties covering both materials and installation workmanship. As authorized contractors for premium manufacturers like Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we offer some of the longest warranties available in the industry.
Material warranties typically cover fading, cracking, and structural defects for 15-25 years, depending on the specific product chosen. Installation warranties cover settling, shifting, and drainage issues for several years after completion.
Our “beyond meticulous” approach to foundation preparation means warranty claims are rare. When issues do arise, we handle them promptly and professionally. After nearly 30 years in Citrus County, our reputation depends on standing behind our work completely.
Pavers typically cost 20-40% more upfront than basic concrete, but the long-term value equation strongly favors pavers in Black Diamond’s climate. Concrete pool decks often require major repairs or replacement within 10-15 years due to cracking and settling issues.
Pavers last 25-30 years or more with minimal maintenance. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged, while concrete problems require expensive demolition and repaving of large areas. The total cost of ownership often favors pavers significantly.
Consider also the safety factor—cracked concrete around pools creates liability issues and reduces property value. Quality pavers maintain their appearance and safety throughout their lifespan, protecting your investment and your family’s wellbeing.
