Update Your Backyard Pool

Home » Update Your Backyard Pool

You and your family are spending lots of time in your backyard pool this time of year. Perhaps you are even entertaining friends and neighbors in the space as well. If your backyard pool isn’t the oasis you hoped it would be, or if you are looking to update the area to meet the needs of your family, a new deck or patio could be just the investment to give your backyard a much-needed facelift.

Choose the Right Materials

Your backyard pool oasis begins with the right materials. Wooden decks are dangerous, especially for bare feet and running (or slipping) kids. Ditch your wooden deck entirely and choose a safer option like vinyl or composite. Both of these materials are splinter-free, durable, and slip resistant. Even better, both vinyl and composite decking materials are heat resistant, which will keep your bare feet cool and comfortable on even the hottest days.

Choose the Right Design

When you work with the team at Rusco, you gain the benefit of working with design professionals with decades of experience. We are here to help you during your design process and will take your budget into consideration as we offer options. When updating your pool deck, you should use the pool shape as the inspiration for your design, as well as your intended use. For example, if you use the space for lots of entertaining, be sure to build in plenty of space for sitting and socializing.

Consider Pavers

If your backyard pool is inground, you may find choosing our Aztek pavers is the best option for adding design intrigue and entertaining space to your pool area. We love installing Aztek pavers, as they are durable and unique. You can develop your own design that highlights your personal style, and your pool space will immediately look updated and modern.
