Your pool deck can make or break the style of the swimming area in your backyard. Of course, pool pavers are great for safety. It’s important for them to be a durable and non-slip surface for your family. But you also want them to look luxurious, having style and substance. We recommend checking out natural stone for your contemporary pool deck. This is not only going to look better but also be a durable and strong choice. Let’s take a look at two popular choices for luxury pool decks; sandstone and limestone.

Sandstone

Sandstone is definitely stylish. This is what makes it so popular. There’s an awesome choice of colors and patterns available so that you can choose one to match your home. There’s something for everybody! For example, if you want to add a warm touch to your backyard, check out the Classicstone Golden Fossil Patio Pavers. These are constructed from natural sandstone from India, with warm shades of light buff, gray and occasional bronze. For something different, you’ll love how this sandstone has fossil imprints to add interest. Another good choice is the Classicstone Harvest Pool Coping. The warm brown, pink, grey and buff shades are just what you need to heat up your backyard on a cool Fall day.

When it comes to durability, sandstone is up there with the best. If you live in a part of the country that endures all types of weather during the year, this may be the best choice for you. It absorbs minimal amounts of water when it’s raining or if everybody is splashing around in the pool having fun. But you will notice that lighter shades of sandstone are slightly more porous. So, for minimal maintenance it may be best to choose a darker shade like the De Terra Harvest Path Pavers. They’re made from natural sandstone and enjoy an aged finish. Natural stone always has a timeless appeal. But the best part is that this is a choice that has a moderate absorption rate. This means that there is a lower risk of algae growth and staining. You can look forward to minimal maintenance when it’s around your pool.

You’ll also love that there’s a low risk of slipping on sandstone. This is perfect for around a pool when you’ve got kids running around. Safety always comes first. It’s also frost resistant so you don’t have to worry about freezing temperatures during the winter months. Sounds great, right? This sedimentary rock is a great choice and we’d recommend taking a look at the Premiastone Platinum Sandstone for your pool. It’s constructed from Indian sandstone and boasts delicate shades of dove grey and occasional buff. Most importantly, it’s frost resist and has a good slip resistance rate. While you’ve always got to be careful, this is definitely a lot better than other materials out there. This makes it perfect all year round.

Limestone

Most people will love the style of limestone too. The common colors you can expect are buff-grey and blue-black. You could say there are less options when it comes to style than sandstone. But we still believe there is limestone pavers for everybody. It has a comtemporary style that everyone loves and it can really make your pool stand out. One of our favorites is the Classicstone Steel Blue Pool Coping. It’s made from quality Indian limestone and enjoys unique qualities that you only find in natural stone. This includes steel blue colours, with matte shades of light blue-grey and occasional copper. It’s really going to make your pool area look good and it’ll be inviting for guests when they come round.

Just like sandstone, limestone is a durable material for a pool deck. It doesn’t absorb a lot of water. So, the pool water or rain won’t affect it. It can also withstand high foot traffic, which is good during the summer when everybody wants to jump into the pool to cool down. Again, this is a natural material that is frost resistant. So, if you have bad winters where you live, you can make sure that your pool deck lasts for years to come. It’s even slip resistant. So, it’s a family-friendly material for your outdoor space.

Another popular choice of limestone is the De Terra Sahara Path Pavers. They’re made from quality Indian limestone that has a tumbled and aged style. Of course, it’s hardwearing and they’re sawn on all four sides. It has a great thickness for durability around your pool, with warm buttermilk colors and pale grey and occasional ochre. With a low absorption rate, you don’t have to worry about water destroying these pavers. The frost resistance is good, as well as having a low slipping risk. It’s really a good all-round choice for a family backyard.
