​NOLA Pool and Maintenance has years of experience in making your backyard dreams a reality. We are not only interested in breaking ground and installing a new pool; we are in the business of making older pools look brand new. The best way to improve the look and feel of an outdoor pool space is to resurface or rebuild pool decking. 
If you have found that your pool deck has become discolored or faded from years of use or that the existing tile, concrete, wood, or brick has begun to show signs of age, we can help you get a brand new look by resurfacing or replacing your existing pool decking.
Many pool decks are made of poured concrete which is both durable and functional as they allow swimmers to exit the pool without fear of slipping. Poured concrete is cost effective and can be shaped and scored in a variety of different ways to give the pool an interesting look. Some people prefer concrete pavers to poured concrete, but pavers can begin to sink and become uneven over time. ​Wood and brick or both viable options for pool decking as well. The issue with wood decking is that it can be time consuming to maintain as wood decking requires yearly sealing and can break apart over time if not maintained properly. Brick is a good option for those seeking to create interesting looks, but brick is expensive and hard to set because the bricks are so small. Also, in places with intense heat or on decks located in direct sunlight, bricks will absorb that heat, leading to a very hot surface for swimmers as they enter and exit the pool.
Stone tiles, like travertine, sandstone, or limestone, are a great way to improve the look and feel of your pool deck. Unglazed stone tiles can give the backyard a very natural, serene, contemporary look and are smooth and cool to walk on.

​Travertine tiles, in particular, have become the premier material for pool decks because they are not only beautiful but they also resist extremes in temperature, making your pool deck an optimal place for people to gather and enjoy the outdoors. Travertine installation around pools also will help with slippage around your pool as travertine is porous which allows for better water drainage, so walking around the pool, even while wet is no cause for concern for you and your guests.  Travertine pool decking comes in a wide variety of sizes, variations, and colors that will make any surface stand out, and the luxurious material will last for years to come. Because travertine is a natural stone, each piece will look slightly different, giving your outdoor space a sense of natural beauty and unique style. And because it is a natural material, travertine resists the color changes that many other decking materials experience over time.
