Top Pool Decking Options for Your Remodel

A pool remodel isnโ€™t complete without the right decking to enhance comfort, safety, and aesthetics. The right material transforms your backyard into a space youโ€™ll enjoy year-round. Here are the best options to consider.
Image

Cool Deck

Cool deck remains one of the most practical choices for pool remodeling. Designed to reflect heat, it stays comfortable underfoot even on the hottest days. This acrylic coating is applied over concrete, creating a slip-resistant surface that blends affordability with function.
Image

Concrete Pavers

For homeowners looking to add texture and personality to their pool area, concrete pavers offer a durable and stylish solution. They come in various colors, shapes, and finishes, making it easy to design a custom look. Unlike traditional concrete, pavers wonโ€™t crack as easily, and individual pieces can be replaced without redoing the entire surface.
Image

Travertine Pavers

Travertine is a top-tier option for those who want a timeless, high-end pool deck. As a natural stone, it absorbs less heat, making it more comfortable underfoot. Its slip-resistant surface enhances safety, and its earthy tones seamlessly blend with desert landscapes.
Image

Porcelain Pavers

If youโ€™re drawn to sleek, contemporary designs, porcelain pavers offer a clean, polished aesthetic. These pavers mimic the look of stone or wood without the upkeep, resisting stains, fading, and weather damage. Perfect for homeowners who want a modern poolscape without worrying about frequent maintenance.
Image

Broom Finish Concrete

Broom finish concrete is an easy, budget-friendly way to refresh your pool deck. This method creates subtle texture for slip resistance while maintaining a smooth, clean look. Itโ€™s a great choice for those wanting a cost-effective update that blends well with any backyard style.
Image

Acid Etched Concrete

For a more refined take on concrete, acid etching creates a lightly textured finish that enhances safety without being too rough. It offers a sleek, polished appearance while improving traction, making it a great way to modernize an older pool area.

Upgrade Your Backyard with a Spa Addition

A spa remodel is one of the most impactful ways to enhance your backyard. Whether you're upgrading an outdated design, adding modern features, or integrating a spa into your existing pool, this addition transforms your space into a year-round retreat. A remodeled spa can improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and provide the ultimate relaxation experience. With various spa styles available, you can create a seamless, cohesive design that enhances your poolโ€™s layout while meeting your personal needs.
Image

Level Spa

If youโ€™re updating a geometric pool, a level spa is a sleek, integrated option. Sitting flush with the waterline, it allows for smooth transitions between hot and cold water, creating a modern, streamlined aesthetic.
Image

Elevated Spa

Elevating your spa above the pool adds depth and visual interest to your backyard. With the option for a spillway or decorative tile accents, this remodel feature turns your spa into a striking design element while improving water circulation.
Image

Sit & Spin Spa

Looking to maximize space? This signature California Pools & Landscape design eliminates bulky entry steps, allowing you to sit on the edge and pivot directly into the spaโ€”giving you more usable seating and a unique, functional upgrade.
Image

Perimeter Spill Spa

A true showpiece for your remodel, this design creates a smooth, continuous flow of water over all edges, delivering a high-end, resort-style effect. Often finished with eye-catching 1โ€x1โ€ glass tile, a perimeter spill spa adds a sophisticated touch.
Image

Acrylic Spa

If you're looking for a simple yet functional upgrade, an acrylic spa (also known as a jacuzzi or hot tub) can be incorporated into your remodel. Placing it within a raised seating wall ties it into your poolscape, offering both hydrotherapy benefits and a seamless design.
Image

Stand Alone Spa

If your backyard doesnโ€™t have space for a full pool remodel, adding a stand-alone spa can still elevate your outdoor experience. Ideal for homeowners wanting a dedicated relaxation space, this option provides warmth and comfort without requiring a full pool renovation.

Stunning Water Features

Adding or upgrading water features during a pool remodel brings movement, sound, and visual appeal to your backyard. Whether you want a subtle trickle for ambiance or a dramatic cascade to make a statement, incorporating the right water elements can transform an outdated pool into a modern oasis. Water features not only enhance aesthetics but also improve relaxation by creating a soothing atmosphere. If your current pool design feels incomplete, these additions offer a simple yet high-impact way to refresh your space.

Water Features to Enhance Your Remodel

Image

Bubblers

If you're updating your Baja shelf or spa, adding bubblers is an affordable way to introduce playful water streams. These small fountains create a soft, rhythmic sound that enhances relaxation while adding movement to the water.
Image

Deck Jets

For homeowners looking to bring a dynamic element to their remodel, deck jets create shimmering arcs of water from the deck into the pool. Whether installed individually or in a symmetrical arrangement, these features add elegance and a mesmerizing, resort-like effect.
Image

Pool Scuppers

Scuppers are an excellent addition to raised pool walls or columns, providing a controlled, cascading flow of water. Available in various sizes, materials, and shapes, they offer a refined architectural touch while introducing the tranquil sound of flowing water.
Image

Rain Sheer

If your remodel calls for a bold, eye-catching water feature, a rain sheer delivers a stunning waterfall effect. Waterfalls in a uniform curtain produce a dramatic sound and visual centerpiece that elevates any pool design.
Image

Sheer Descents

Looking for a modern, sleek upgrade? Sheer descents create a smooth, glass-like sheet of water that flows gracefully into the pool. These features provide an elegant, contemporary look without the heavy splash effect of traditional waterfalls.
Image

Pool Water Bowls

Water bowls bring an artistic, sculptural element to your remodel. Typically placed on raised pillars or along the pool deck, they offer a striking blend of fire and water elements when paired with fire bowls. Choose from stone, copper, or concrete finishes to customize the look.
Image

Waterfalls & Rock Grottos

For a resort-style transformation, consider adding natural stone waterfalls or rock grottos. These large-scale features create a private retreat, blending seamlessly with desert landscapes while offering the calming sound of rushing water. They can also serve as hidden swim-in caves, perfect for both relaxation and adventure.

California pools was the most responsive from the time I requested a quote and had great communication through to the end of the project. They had the resources needed even during the busy season and shortage of products. We love our pool and glad we chose them for our project!

So far, so good with CalPools. We are grateful we are working with Paul Swirski. He has guided us through the process thus far, and has been fair, honest, and professional. We came in with a vision, but a on a budget, and Paul's experience has helped us design an amazing pool for our new house. We will continue to update as the construction phase begins, but three cheers for Paul!

TOP NOTCH IN EVERY WAY My HAYWARD POOL PUMP failed out-of-warranty and CALPOOL assisted in getting it replaced by HAYWARD and then installed the PUMP at-no-cost; even though they were under no obligation to do so. Leslie was incredibly helpful and had the replacement pump installed the day after the PUMP arrived at my residence from Hayward. I recommend CALPOOL without reservation. Rick D.

We are first time pool owners and had our first pool completed about a couple months ago and from the get-go we knew that Calpools AZ was our right pool builder choice. Mike L was so patient and helpful when we were selecting the finishing and layout of our pool. Our construction manager was Howard-what a nice and knowledgeable man, he walked us through the entire build process and kept us informed throughout the 8 weeks it took them to complete the pool. Last but not least, Marcee Walker, the superb customer service she provided us with was something you expect but rarely received. Anytime we asked for status she always responded promptly and if we had any concerns or reported any issues, she always responded with "we'll gladly take care of that for you right away". If you are looking for a pool builder, we would strongly recommend Calpools AZ, you will not regret it. Thanks again, we are truly enjoying and loving our new pool. The Delgadillos

We had a spool remodel done last year! Cody, our remodel designer was wonderful to work with. He was personable and explained the process of our remodel! He was always available via text, email or phone call to answer any questions or address any concerns. He truly cared about our remodel! Stephanie was fantastic as a schedulerโ€ฆshe was also great with communication via phone or the portal โ€ฆ she kept things moving, not an easy job! Eric stepped in as project manager mid remodel and was also very helpful in checking on the job and keeping us informed! Noah has been terrific tooโ€ฆanswering any questions we have about warranty! Weโ€™ve been very happy with CPLโ€ฆthey were the original builders of our spool almost 20 years ago, and now our remodel! Itโ€™s been a pleasure working with them!

We are extremely pleased with our California pool and the professionalism shown by their staff. From start to finish the pool was completed within two months. Special thanks to Ron, Shawn and Marcee for their dedicated attention. We are new to Arizona and this is our first pool. We looked at many different companies but California Pool impressed us with their knowledge and personal service. We made the right choice! Thanks, The Grassi's

My project was medium sized, I guess, based on the different options that we originally discussed vs. what we ended up getting, which was a design for my entire empty backyard that included a pool, spa, fire pit, gas grilling island, artificial turf, pavers, and landscaping plants, trees, and the like. The project was divided into phases to allow us to get the grilling island and artificial turf at a later time, while having the necessary electrical and gas connections installed in the correct location, while the plumbing for the pool and spa where being done prior to putting down the pavers. When deciding on a company for our backyard project, we talked to several companies. Robby S. met with us, after hours on a few occasions to accommodate our schedules, and designed a very nice backyard. This accommodation was one of the deciding factors on choosing CPL. The communication of the status of the project was pretty good. Theresa G. sent e-mails detailing the schedule, which was spot on for the most part and updated as needed. When I (or my wife) had questions or issues, they were answered/resolved immediately, even after the project was completed. Thanks Robby, Duane, and Theresa! The construction manager, Duane Y., is awesome! He is very responsive, in that everytime I called or e-mailed him with a question or issue, he showed up at my house the next morning to make sure it was resolved. When filling my pool, Duane noticed that I had two hoses connected together. He reconfigured them so that they filled the pool twice as fast. The pool startup guy, Ryan, I believe, was very patient with us when training us during the pool start up and optimization. The construction crew did really nice and efficient work. They also kept the place tidy during construction and worked quickly. I'm really happy with the work that was done on my backyard transformation design, pool, spa, fire pit, and pavers by CPL. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get a pool or transform your backyard, as I did.

I am in love with my new backyard... and CA Pools and Landscaping! From complete dirt (litterally) to a colorful masterpiece! Who would have thought that some trees, plants, lighting and turf would make me want to hang out in 100 (plus) degree weather. The entire job took two days. The crews were in and out and were very respectful and clean. I would highly recommend CA Pools not only for your pool, but for your landscaping remodeling needs!

Our pool remodel went very smoothly thanks to everyone at California Pools. From Les, who was our Project Manager to Rick our Construction Manager and Sara our Scheduling Manager-we always knew what to expect. Les explained the entire process to us. Rick was always available to check on how things were progressing and answer any questions. Sara was great-always available and keeping us updated on when different crews were coming out. California Pools is great at keeping the client in the loop of what's going on. We are so happy with how our pool remodel has turned out. They did a terrific job. California Pools was recommended to us by a family member and we would definitely recommend California Pools to any of our friends or family.

California Pools is an absolute amazing company to work with. We met with many different companies to build our ideal pool. From the first meeting with Christopher Robinson, we knew this company was special. Chris listened to exactly what we wanted and made a computer image of our vision within 15 minutes. It was exactly what we had described!! Our Construction Managers Jordan and Steve were great people to work with. They kept us updated and on schedule. If something changed, they would contact us immediately with updates. Karl our Hardscape Manager was also on top of everything. He took every concern we had and made them right. We have heard horror stories of people building pools and things going wrong, not with this company. They were amazing!! We can not recommend CA Pools enough. Thank you CA Pools for making our dream backyard a reality!!!

California pools was great from the very beginning. My project manager Cody Risdon was extremely knowledgeable, personable, courteous and professional. They didn't cut any corners. They were extremely efficient and realistic in the expectactions and price. The final product turned out better than what I expected. Sara Dougan, Victoria Collins and Danielle DeMiguel were each assigned to manage a different aspect of my project to ensure efficiency, timeliness and quality. And I tell you what; they will treat you like family. I was completely at ease with each step of the project thanks to their dedication to the project and desire to make things right. They took the time to send my wife flowers when they found out my she just gave birth! Michael Moore was the construction supervisor and he was there at every step ensuring the project had the highest quality work. He told crews to redo countless small details that most people would overlook. He came to the job site several times a week to make sure things were done right. He kept an open dialogue and promptly responded to any concerns I had or corrections I requested. California Pools is a top notch company who has been around longer than most. They are more concerned with producing a quality product than earning a cheap buck. I honestly couldn't be happier with these guys, and I would trust them without reserve.

Our experience was excellent with California Pools and Landscape. We met with Steve R the project manager at the Chandler office. Steve was helpful and knowledgeable. In a 1 hour appointment we had a design we could see and a price to perform the work. The design/discovery session was very helpful as several of the ideas and materials Steve presented we had never seen and would not have known were options. We informed Steve that the most important aspect to us was a quality, safe, quick turnaround. Steve moved the process through design and permitting quick (our project was a landscape project no pool) within three weeks of our appointment Jamin W had his crew on site performing work. The crew showed up everyday and cleaned up at the end of their workday. I actually never saw or met the crew. Had I not looked in the backyard I would have never known they were there. California Pools and Landscape had the job substantially complete in just over a week (some minor asthetic items took a bit longer but we're not critical to our project and were not a huge concern.). After they completed the project Luis came by to walk the quality and perform an owner training. The one negative is the payment process. You must make most of the payments (significant amountsโ€‹) prior to the work being performed. If you want to pay on a credit card there is a 3% fee which adds up. We were very nervous about paying before the work was complete. We called Steve to talk through this and he assured us they were not the type to run with your money. California Pools did not let us down and is a trust worthy company that holds up their end of the bargain. The bottom line you will pay a little more going through California Pools, but you will get a well planned design, a safe professional crew and a project that looks amazing.

When we have a question on how to operate our pool filter, or getting that light fixture back on etc. you send an email and they get back to you with tips, saving on setting up unnecessary service calls.

California Pools are an EXCELLENT pool builder!!! November 2014 we put in our 3rd pool and backyard with them since our first in 1996!!! We have used them 3 times because they build GORGEOUS pools and backyards!!! They are VERY TALENTED, EFFICIENT AND THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR VERY HIGH END QUILTY WORKMANSHIP!!!! We have had minor cosmetic issues with our pool but MICHELE GARCIA in their Warranty Department is FANTASTIC!!!!

My pool and backyard construction was just recently completed. From start to finish, California Pools & Landscape handled the supply chain and labor issues professionally. Almost everything is handled through an app (communications with scheduling, installation dates, etc.) so you don't have to spend endless hours emailing or calling to ask "what's next?". My project manager/designer was Cody Risdon who did an absolutely amazing job incorporating everything I asked. He was knowledgeable, courteous and incredibly professional. Sara handled all of the scheduling and a lot of the communications on when certain portions of the project were to be installed. She was (and still is) on top of everything. She responded efficiently and made the process easier. My construction manager Duane has also been great. As with any new construction, we do a punchout walkthrough when almost everything is complete to make any adjustments. Duane has been on top of everything that I have asked. While the process was long, the team at Cal made it easier. I'm thrilled with my yard, and can't recommend CPL enough. Thank you all!
Michael C.

Michael C.

I met with California Pools right after signing for my new build in 2021. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that it was going to take almost two years to finish the house. California Pools was awesome and patient with me the whole way. Once the new house was ready, California Pools was on-site the day after closing to start the process. Jordan Thrasher and Sara Dougan were wonderful to work with. Jordan answered every little question I had along the way. Sara was on top of scheduling to let me know when to expect people to be on-site and to handle other little emergencies along the way. I didn't expect that we were going to be able to use our pool this summer, but Jordan and team had the pool ready and gave the blessing to fill it by mid-June. My family absolutely loved having our pool and we made constant use of it. I can't thank California Pools, Jordan, and Sara enough for their efforts.

Can't say enough about California Pools and Landscape. Working with design planner Paul and construction manager Matt was courteous and professional from start to finish. Everything was laid out in advance, no surprises, proceeded like clockwork. When inevitable issues arose, we worked through several design changes, all without headache. Surprisingly, they even went above and beyond at times, exceeding even our high expectations. Today, we can't believe the paradise we live in, thanks to California Pools and Landscape!

When we first selected California Pools, we were extremely happy with the service and attention to detail. The end product was perfect! We recently had a need to engage with California Pool for some work that is within warranty and a item outside of warranty. And they immediately stepped up and sent out technicians and the communication was very consistent as they kept me informed throughout. From start to finish, California pools stepped up and delivered. We sincerely appreciate the support from the team, especially Leslie and Cari for their terrific coordination!!

our experienced with California Pool and Landscape was very enjoyable.

Q: What are signs that my pool needs remodeling?

Key indicators that your pool needs renovation include rough surfaces that catch on swimwear, visible cracks in the plaster or deck, fading or staining of surfaces, outdated or inefficient equipment, high water or chemical usage, or simply an aesthetic that no longer matches your style preferences. Most pools in Arizona need some form of renovation every 7-15 years, depending on materials and maintenance.

Q: How do I choose the right pool finish for Arizona's climate?

For Arizona pools, we recommend highly durable, heat-resistant finishes like pebble finishes (particularly Sea Glass Pebble) that stand up well to intense sunlight and hot temperatures. These finishes resist fading, staining, and chemical breakdown much better than traditional plaster. Color choice also mattersโ€”lighter finishes reflect heat and show less dust, while darker finishes absorb heat but can make the water appear more blue.

Q: What deck surface is best for Arizona pools?

The most popular pool deck surfaces for Arizona's climate are travertine and other natural stones that stay cooler underfoot, resist heat absorption, and drain water effectively. Acrylic-topped concrete (Cool Deck) is also an excellent choice for its heat-reflective properties. We recommend avoiding plain concrete which can become unbearably hot during summer months.

Q: Can you add modern features to an older pool?

Yes, we specialize in updating older pools with modern features. Popular upgrades include adding automation systems for remote control via smartphone, energy-efficient equipment, salt water systems, LED lighting, water features, and features like baja shelves or benches. Nearly any modern pool feature can be incorporated into an existing pool structure during a custom pool renovation.

Q: How can I make my pool more energy-efficient during a remodel?

Energy efficiency improvements during pool remodeling include installing variable-speed pumps (which can reduce energy usage by up to 80%), LED lighting, efficient heaters, automatic covers to retain heat and reduce evaporation, and updating plumbing systems to optimize water flow. These upgrades typically pay for themselves within 2-3 years through reduced utility costs.
