Pool Decks & Patios in Live Oak
Pool decks are less common out here than in a big coastal metro, but they take just as much abuse — constant water, sunscreen, wet feet, and long stretches of direct sun. We build pool decks designed for exactly that: slip-resistant surfaces, proper drainage, and materials that stay comfortable underfoot even in August.
From composite surrounds to paver-style pool decks and patios, we design the layout around your pool, your screen enclosure, and how you entertain.

- Slip-resistant surfaces rated for wet, bare feet
- Cool-touch materials that don't scorch in the sun
- Proper slope & drainage to meet Suwannee County code
- Seamless integration with screen enclosures and cages
- Built-in seating & lighting for evening use

Frequently Asked Questions
Pool decks typically land in the same $32-$92 per square foot range as any other deck, though drainage detailing and slip-resistant surfacing can push the number toward the higher end depending on materials.

Most pool deck projects take 1-3 weeks depending on square footage, drainage work, and whether we're tying into an existing screen enclosure.
Lighter-colored or cool-touch composite decking stays far more comfortable underfoot in direct sun than dark wood or dark composite, which matters a lot for bare feet around a pool.
Yes, our coverage applies to work performed near existing structures like screen cages and pool equipment, and we take extra care not to damage them during construction.
Correct slope and drainage planning during framing, not as an afterthought — we design the pitch and drainage channels before a single board goes down so water runs off instead of pooling.
Textured, slip-rated composite decking is our default recommendation for pool surrounds — it grips better wet than smooth boards and holds up to constant splashing and sunscreen.
Sometimes, if the substructure is sound. In many cases, though, a failing concrete or old wood pool deck needs a proper rebuild to fix drainage and slope issues correctly.
Yes, drainage and slope are covered under our standard workmanship warranty just like framing and decking — if water pools where it shouldn't, we make it right.
It often adds more, since a well-drained, slip-resistant pool deck directly affects how usable and safe the whole backyard feels to a future buyer.
Yes, we coordinate pool deck and screen enclosure work together often, which usually saves time and money versus doing them as two separate projects.
