Complete pool deck and surround patios for new pools or existing pools getting a face-lift. Layout planning, base prep, coping set, paver install, final clean.
Natural travertine paving — light, cool, slip-rated and the classic Cape Town pool deck finish. Looks sharp on day one and ages well in the Cape sun.
Slate and sandstone pool paving for a richer, more textured look that suits stone-walled homes and older Cape Town properties. Slip-rated and elegant.
Replace tired or cracked pool coping with new bullnose, drop-edge or square-edge coping that matches your surround and finishes the pool edge properly.
Channel drains and cross-falls so water runs away from the pool coping and house — not into the pool or under the patio. Critical for long pool-deck life.
Lift cracked or sunken existing pool paving and replace with fresh, level paving in the same workflow. Old surface removal handled in the job.

01
We visit the pool, measure the surround area, talk through how you use it — sun beds, dining, kids, change room — and plan a paver type and layout that works for wet feet, sun beds and summer heat.
02
Base prep, fall for drainage and channel drains go in so water moves the right way off the deck. Pool coping is set or replaced before the surround paving lays so edges finish properly.
03
Pavers laid with attention to edge cuts at the coping, joint widths and finished levels. We brush in jointing, sweep clean and walk the deck with you before sign-off so you are happy with the finish.
Most pool surround installations take three to seven working days, depending on the area, ground preparation needed, coping work and the paver type. Larger pool decks with steps and water features take longer. We give you a realistic timeline in your written quote.
