When it comes to outdoor living spaces, cutting corners in preparation almost always leads to disappointment down the road. This particular pool deck was proof. Despite having already been redone twice, poor prep work from previous contractors meant the surface kept shifting and sinking, leaving the homeowner frustrated and hesitant to try again.
That’s where Verdant Landscape stepped in.
Fixing the Root Problem
Rather than covering up the symptoms, we went straight to the source of the issue: the foundation. We installed a compacted crush-and-run base with precise screening to ensure two things that every hardscape project needs, proper drainage and long-term stability. By starting fresh and doing the groundwork right, we set the stage for a deck that wouldn’t just look good on day one, but for years to come.
A Timeless Finish
With the foundation in place, it was time for the transformation. We chose classic travertine pavers, a material that’s not only elegant but also durable and naturally slip-resistant, making it perfect for poolside living. Each stone was laid with care, resulting in a level, seamless surface that finally delivered on the homeowner’s original vision.
Finally, Done Right
Sometimes the third time really is the charm. This project is a reminder that quality landscaping and hardscaping start long before the finishing touches are visible. By prioritizing preparation, precision, and timeless materials, we turned a repeat frustration into a long-term success.
Now, the homeowners can relax by their pool without worrying about what’s beneath their feet, because this deck was built to last.
