Travertine, bluestone, porcelain and cut stone decks that are cool, safe and beautiful underfoot.
The deck is the floor of your outdoor room, and it carries a lot of the look. Barefoot comfort, slip resistance, drainage, heat and color all matter, along with how the material meets the pool and the house.
We design decks with proper base, slope and drainage, and we choose materials for how they feel and perform: travertine stays cool, bluestone is rich and durable, porcelain pavers are crisp and clean, and poured concrete can be stamped, exposed aggregate or finished smooth. We also plan expansion joints, borders and transitions. We also coordinate the deck with steps, planters, walls and lighting, so edges and transitions look planned. Heat, glare and sealer choices are discussed in the sample stage, and we leave you with a care guide for cleaning and resealing.
Light stone and porcelain stay cooler in the sun. We bring samples and test them in your light so you know how they feel.
A deck needs the right slope and a sound base to stay level and dry. We design drainage into the plan from the start.
Running bond, ashlar and large format layouts give different moods. Borders and bands tie the deck to the house and the pool.
Decks expand and contract with the seasons. Properly placed joints and a firm base let them move without cracking.
