Patio Ideas For Your Pool

A pool doesn't have to be a big blue oasis in your yard, floating on its own. Pair it with a beautiful patio, and it can help connect it to the rest of your outdoor landscaping design and your home. Patios are often found next to an in-ground pool as a space for entertaining and relaxing. They can be made of concrete, brick, cut stone, flagstone, or patio pavers. It's important to remember to have materials that you use for a patio coordinate with the other hardscape materials you use around your house for a consistent look throughout.Pool patios have many advantages like creating a smooth transition from one area to another, providing drainage, and covering up unsightly unlandscaped areas of your yard. A pool patio can create a frame around the pool that creates a safe path around the pool's edge. If you have a big backyard, the patio can be even bigger to accommodate poolside lounging or dining areas.

Pool Patio Material Considerations

Not every material available for pool patios is the right choice for you. Consider these points when choosing your pool patio material.

• Make sure the decking material isn't too rough, bumpy, or uneven
• A heat-reflective material will keep the surface cooler on hot days
• For safety, the material shouldn't get slippery when wet
• The material should complement the pool and transition well with the other hardscaped areas you have
• Ideally, the material should be designed for areas surrounding water, so it's resistant to things like algae, chemicals, acid, mold, and mildew
• Make safety a priority with a fence or barrier integrated into the pool and patio design. (Your local town, city, or county will most likely have laws regarding pool barriers as far as height and placement are concerned)
