Alabama Limestone Pool Deck

Approximately 1,500 square feet of Alabama limestone paving was installed around the new pool, including a permeable area built with 2-by-2 limestone squares and artificial turf joints to help move water into the drainage system below.

Project Story

Once the backyard grade had been rebuilt and the pool location established, the project needed a hardscape surface that could connect the pool, outdoor kitchen, lawn, and surrounding landscape. Drainage was also an important part of the design, so the paving had to do more than provide a finished walking and gathering surface.

Edmonds Environmental installed approximately 1,500 square feet of Alabama limestone paving around the new pool. Portions of the pool deck use 2-by-2 limestone squares separated by artificial turf joints. Water can pass through those joints into a washed-gravel base and the drain pipes below.

The completed paving creates the primary hardscape around the pool while also working with the backyard's drainage strategy. It ties the pool into the outdoor kitchen, lawn, planting, and circulation areas created by the larger backyard redevelopment.

Project Notes

SCOPE

A substantial limestone pool deck

Approximately 1,500 square feet of Alabama limestone paving was installed as part of the backyard redevelopment. The paving creates the primary hardscape around the pool and connects it to the surrounding outdoor living areas.

MATERIAL DIRECTION

Alabama limestone with turf joints

The permeable portions of the deck use 2-by-2 limestone squares separated by artificial turf joints. The combination gives the pool area a clean hardscape surface while allowing water to pass between the stones.

BASE & DRAINAGE

Permeable paving with drainage below

Water entering through the turf joints moves into a washed-gravel base and drain pipes beneath the paving. This allows the pool deck to contribute directly to the site's water-management strategy.

RESULT

Poolside space that works with the site

The finished limestone paving creates approximately 1,500 square feet of usable hardscape around the pool. It connects the pool, outdoor kitchen, lawn, and landscape areas while supporting drainage at the same time.

Start Your Project

If your pool deck or patio needs to provide both a refined finished surface and better water management, Edmonds Environmental can design the paving and drainage together as part of the site.
