Your pool represents a significant investment in your property and your family's enjoyment. The deck surrounding it should enhance that investment with surfaces that are safe, attractive, and built to withstand constant exposure to water, sun, and foot traffic throughout swimming season.
Oxley Masonry and Stoneworks specializes in professional stone pool deck installation using materials selected specifically for wet environments. Natural stone and color-matched pavers provide slip-resistant surfaces that stay cooler underfoot than concrete or composite materials—an important consideration during Tell City's warm summer months. The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance reports that properly designed pool decks reduce slip-and-fall incidents by 60 percent compared to smooth concrete surfaces.
Each installation begins with site evaluation and design consultation to select materials that complement your pool, landscaping, and home architecture. The team then engineers proper drainage systems, prepares stable base materials, and installs stone or pavers with joints and slopes that channel water away from the pool and prevent standing water that creates hazards.
Pool Deck Solutions for Tell City Properties
Tell City's proximity to the Ohio River creates humid conditions during summer months, making slip resistance and drainage critical for pool deck safety. Natural stone options including travertine, sandstone, and textured limestone provide inherent traction even when wet. Color-matched pavers offer uniform appearance with interlocking designs that resist shifting and settle evenly over time.
Proper base preparation is essential—the installation includes excavation to appropriate depth, compacted gravel base for drainage and stability, and sand leveling courses that allow fine adjustment during paver placement. According to the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, professionally installed pool decks with engineered bases last 25 to 30 years without significant settlement or cracking.
Drainage systems are integrated into the installation, with gentle slopes directing water to collection points and permeable joints allowing water to filter through rather than pooling on the surface. Decorative finishing options include border patterns, inlaid designs, or contrasting colors that define seating areas and create visual interest. Learn more about Stone Pool Decks in Tell City.
