Slip-resistant pool decking and paving for Donald Creek homes in timber, composite and stone, built for wet feet and sun.
A pool is only as enjoyable as the area around it, and the decking or paving is the surface that makes the space safe and comfortable to use on a Donald Creek property. We install timber and composite decking as well as stone, porcelain and concrete paving, matching the choice to the design, the climate and how the surround drains. Natural timber decking brings warmth and a relaxed look, with hardwood species suited to New England and North West conditions, though it does need oiling on a cycle to resist greying and wear. Composite decking is the set-and-forget option, engineered to resist fading, moisture and splinters, which appeals to Armidale Regional families who would rather not maintain a deck. For paving, travertine is a favourite poolside because it underfoot stays cool in summer, porcelain pavers give a clean modern line with strong stain resistance, and concrete pavers are the budget-friendly all-rounder in a wide spread of finishes. Slip resistance governs every selection near water, so we steer clients toward textured surfaces and away from anything that turns slick when wet. The part that is easy to overlook is the build-up beneath the Pool Decking & Paving: a compacted, free-draining base, falls that move water away from the pool and the house, and edge detailing that disperses splash-out. Coping is set to give a safe, rounded edge at the waterline where people exit the pool. The Pool Decking & Paving suits both new pool builds and upgrades to existing Donald Creek pools. Done properly it delivers a surround that looks resolved, stays safe with wet feet, and withstands the heat, rain and constant use of a Armidale Regional backyard.
