Paver Pool Decks & Poolside Outdoor Living in New Albany & Central Ohio

Custom Paver Pool Decks Designed Around the Way You Live

A beautiful pool is only one part of a great backyard.

At Traditions Landscape Group, we design and install custom paver pool decks, pool patios, landscaping, and complete outdoor living spaces that transform the area surrounding your pool into a comfortable, functional place to relax, entertain, and spend time with family.

As experienced patio builders serving New Albany and Central Ohio, we work alongside local pool companies to coordinate the hardscape and landscape portions of the project. Our goal is to create a finished backyard where the pool, paver patio, landscaping, structures, and outdoor living features all feel like they were designed together from the beginning.

Whether you are planning a new pool or redesigning the outdoor space around an existing one, Traditions Landscape Group can help create the environment around it.

Paver Pool Deck Installation

Choosing the right material is an important part of designing a pool deck. We often install Unilock concrete pavers and GeoCeramica porcelain pavers for our poolside projects, depending on the style of the home, desired look, budget, and specific needs of the space.

Unilock pavers offer a wide variety of colors, textures, sizes, and design possibilities, allowing us to create pool decks that complement both traditional and contemporary homes. Coordinating borders, accent pavers, and pool coping can further customize the design.

GeoCeramica porcelain pavers are another option we use for homeowners looking for a more contemporary or refined poolside aesthetic. GeoCeramica combines the appearance and surface characteristics of porcelain with a system designed for outdoor hardscape applications, making it an exciting option for modern pool decks and outdoor living spaces.

Depending on the project, we may recommend concrete pavers, porcelain pavers, natural stone, or a combination of materials. Material selection is part of our design process so that the finished pool deck complements the architecture of the home and the overall backyard.

Our paver pool deck projects can incorporate pool coping, accent borders and paver inlays, steps and elevation changes, sitting and retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and grill islands, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and pavilions, landscape lighting, decorative aluminum fencing, privacy landscaping, planting beds, and drainage solutions.

The result is more than a surface surrounding your pool. It becomes a complete poolside outdoor living space.

Pool Patio Builders Serving Central Ohio

The best pool patios are designed around how the entire backyard will function.

Where will lounge chairs go? Is there enough room for an outdoor dining table? How will people move between the house and pool? Would a pavilion provide needed shade? Where should an outdoor kitchen or grill island be located? How can landscaping create privacy without overwhelming the pool area?

These details matter.

As paver patio builders and outdoor living contractors, we look beyond the footprint of the pool to consider circulation, entertaining areas, furniture placement, views from the home, landscaping, lighting, drainage, and future outdoor living features.

This design-first approach helps create a backyard that feels intentional rather than a collection of individual projects.

Working Alongside Your Pool Company

Traditions Landscape Group partners with local pool companies and works alongside their teams during new pool construction.

While your pool contractor focuses on the swimming pool itself, our team can focus on the surrounding paver pool deck, pool coping, hardscape, landscaping, lighting, fencing, and outdoor living features.

Coordinating these elements during the planning and construction process can help create better transitions between the pool and surrounding patio while allowing the overall backyard design to remain cohesive.

Already have a pool company selected? We are happy to coordinate with them as part of the planning process.

More Than a Pool Deck

One of the advantages of working with Traditions Landscape Group is our ability to design and build the entire outdoor environment surrounding your pool.

Your project may begin with a paver pool deck, but thoughtful planning can incorporate spaces for cooking, dining, shade, entertaining, landscaping, privacy, lighting, and gathering around a fire.

A complete poolside outdoor living project might include a custom paver patio surrounding the pool, a pavilion or pergola for shade, an outdoor kitchen, landscape beds for privacy, decorative fencing, low-voltage landscape lighting, and a fire feature for evenings outside.

By considering these elements together, we can create a backyard that looks and functions as one cohesive space.

Poolside Landscaping & Privacy

Landscaping is an important part of creating a finished pool environment.

Strategically placed evergreens, ornamental trees, shrubs, hydrangeas, grasses, and perennials can soften the hardscape, provide privacy, frame views, and bring seasonal color to the backyard.

Plant selection around pools also requires thoughtful planning. Mature size, maintenance, root characteristics, debris, sun exposure, and proximity to the pool and paver deck should all be considered.

Our landscape and hardscape teams work together so that planting areas complement the patio design rather than feeling like an afterthought.

Why Choose Pavers Around a Pool?

Homeowners often ask whether pavers are a good choice for a pool deck.

Yes. Professionally installed pavers can be an excellent option for Central Ohio pool decks.

Quality concrete pavers such as Unilock provide extensive design flexibility, while porcelain options such as GeoCeramica offer another distinctive look for homeowners considering their pool deck materials.

Paver systems also offer an advantage when future access or repairs are necessary because individual units can often be removed and reinstalled rather than requiring a large section of a continuous surface to be demolished.

Most importantly, the long-term performance of a paver pool deck depends heavily on proper base preparation, drainage, edge restraint, material selection, and installation techniques.

Traditions Landscape Group brings our experience as professional paver patio builders to every pool deck we install.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paver Pool Decks

Does Traditions Landscape Group install swimming pools?

Traditions Landscape Group specializes in the outdoor living environment surrounding the pool rather than the installation of the swimming pool itself. We partner and coordinate with local pool companies while our team designs and installs features such as paver pool decks, patios, landscaping, outdoor structures, lighting, fencing, and other outdoor living elements.

What types of pavers do you install around pools?

We install several types of premium hardscape materials depending on the project. Unilock concrete pavers and GeoCeramica porcelain pavers are two options we frequently use for pool decks and outdoor living spaces. We help homeowners compare colors, textures, styles, coping options, and other considerations to determine which material works best with their home and overall backyard design.

Are GeoCeramica porcelain pavers good around pools?

GeoCeramica can be an attractive option for homeowners looking for the refined appearance of porcelain in an outdoor hardscape application. Because every pool project is different, we consider the specific product, surface characteristics, site conditions, installation requirements, and overall design before recommending a material.

Can you work with the pool company I have already selected?

Yes. We can work alongside your pool contractor to coordinate the design and construction of the surrounding paver patio and outdoor living space.

What is the best material for a pool deck in Ohio?

There isn’t one material that is best for every property. Concrete pavers, porcelain pavers, and natural stone can all be considered depending on the desired appearance, budget, pool design, site conditions, and performance requirements. We help homeowners compare options during the design process.

Can you install pavers around an existing pool?

Yes. Depending on the existing conditions, a new paver pool deck can often be designed around an existing swimming pool. We evaluate the site, elevations, drainage, existing surfaces, and pool structure before recommending an approach.

Can you add landscaping around our pool?

Yes. Landscape design and installation are an important part of many of our pool projects. We can incorporate privacy plantings, landscape beds, trees, shrubs, perennials, landscape lighting, and other features into the overall poolside design.

Can you add a pavilion or outdoor kitchen near the pool?

Yes. Poolside outdoor living spaces can include pavilions, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, grill islands, fireplaces, fire pits, sitting walls, landscape lighting, and other features. Planning these elements together helps create a more cohesive backyard.

How much space should we leave around a pool for a paver patio?

There is no single dimension that works for every backyard. The appropriate amount of patio space depends on the size and shape of the pool, furniture, walkways, entertaining areas, outdoor kitchens or structures, and how your family plans to use the space. We consider these factors during the design process rather than simply installing a narrow border around the pool.
