You get a pool deck that actually works for Florida living. No more burning your feet on scorching surfaces or worrying about slips around wet areas.
Our pool decks stay cool underfoot during peak summer heat while providing the slip resistance your family needs for safe poolside enjoyment. You’ll have a beautiful outdoor space that handles Florida’s weather extremes without constant maintenance headaches.
Every installation meets local building codes and comes with manufacturer warranties, so you can focus on enjoying your pool instead of dealing with deck problems down the road.
Mainstreet Landscaping has been building pool decks exclusively in Citrus County for nearly three decades. This isn’t a side business for us—it’s what we do every day.
As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we work directly with premium manufacturers to ensure you get materials designed specifically for Florida’s challenging climate. We’re also the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in the county.
When hurricanes hit Lecanto, we’re out helping with cleanup. We support local youth programs and participate in Toys for Tots because this community is home. You’re not just hiring a contractor—you’re working with neighbors who plan to be here long after your project is complete.
First, we assess your pool area and discuss your needs during a consultation. No sales pressure—just honest recommendations about materials and design options that work for your budget and Florida’s climate.
Next comes proper preparation. We handle all permits and ensure the foundation meets local codes. The base preparation is critical for longevity, so we use proper compacted limestone and bedding sand according to industry standards.
Installation follows proven methods with attention to drainage and slope management. Florida’s heavy rains demand proper water management, and we engineer every deck to handle it. You’ll see the difference in how water flows away from your pool area instead of pooling on the surface.

Every pool deck includes proper drainage systems designed for Florida’s intense rainfall patterns. Your deck will shed water effectively, preventing the standing water that creates slip hazards and structural problems.
You get materials specifically chosen for Citrus County’s climate conditions. Travertine and concrete pavers that resist heat buildup, salt air exposure from nearby coastal areas, and UV damage from year-round sun exposure.
All installations include proper permits, code compliance, and coordination with local inspectors. You won’t deal with bureaucratic headaches or worry about future issues when selling your home. Everything is documented and done according to current Citrus County building requirements.
Travertine pavers and light-colored concrete pavers perform best in Florida heat. Travertine’s natural porous structure and light color reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it, keeping surface temperatures comfortable for bare feet even during peak afternoon sun.
Concrete pavers in lighter shades also stay significantly cooler than dark materials or solid concrete slabs. The key is choosing materials with heat-reflective properties rather than heat-absorbing ones.
Avoid dark-colored materials like slate or dark brick, which can become uncomfortably hot. Also skip polished surfaces that can become slippery when wet—textured finishes provide better traction around pool areas.
Most pool deck installations in Lecanto take 5-10 business days, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timing during Florida’s rainy season, but experienced contractors plan accordingly.
The process includes permit approval (usually 3-5 days), excavation and base preparation (1-2 days), paver installation (2-4 days), and final cleanup and inspection. Larger or more complex designs with multiple levels or custom features may require additional time.
Proper base preparation cannot be rushed—it’s critical for long-term performance in Florida’s soil conditions. Contractors who try to speed through this phase often create problems that surface months later as settling or shifting pavers.
Yes, most pool deck installations in Lecanto require permits through Citrus County. This includes structural work, electrical connections for lighting, and any modifications to existing pool areas.
Permits ensure your installation meets current building codes for wind resistance, drainage, and structural integrity. This protects your investment and prevents issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our service. Attempting DIY permits often leads to delays and complications that cost more than having professionals manage the process from the start.
Pavers offer superior performance for Florida pool decks compared to poured concrete. Individual pavers allow for natural expansion and contraction without cracking, while solid concrete slabs often develop cracks from temperature changes and ground movement.
Pavers also provide better slip resistance through textured surfaces and joint lines that channel water away. If damage occurs, you can replace individual pavers instead of repairing large concrete sections.
Concrete slabs may cost less initially, but pavers typically provide better long-term value through durability and easier maintenance. Pavers also offer more design flexibility with various colors, patterns, and textures to complement your pool and home.
Regular cleaning with mild, pH-neutral cleaners prevent buildup of algae and mildew that thrive in Florida’s humidity. Pressure washing 2-3 times per year removes accumulated dirt and organic matter.
Sealed surfaces need resealing every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance and color protection. This is especially important with Florida’s intense UV exposure and frequent rain cycles.
Check drainage regularly during rainy season to ensure water flows properly away from the pool area. Clear any debris from joints or drainage channels to prevent water backup that can cause structural problems or create slip hazards.
Local contractors understand Citrus County’s specific soil conditions, drainage requirements, and building codes. We know which materials perform best in the local climate and have established relationships with inspectors and suppliers.
Local contractors are also available for warranty service and future maintenance needs. When issues arise, you’re not waiting for someone from hours away to respond—your contractor is part of the community.
We’ve been serving Lecanto exclusively since 1995, building relationships with multiple generations of families. We understand local preferences and have a reputation to maintain in our own neighborhood.
