Your pool deck is where summer memories are made: kids running from the water to the lounge chair, family barbecues, and quiet evenings watching the sunset. But if your deck is cracked, stained, or slippery, it can spoil the fun and even become a safety risk.
At Pool & Spa Creations, Inc, we focus on creating beautiful and durable pool decking in Clearwater. Owner Mark Adkins leads our team in helping homeowners turn worn or unsafe decks into inviting outdoor spaces. Whether you prefer travertine pavers, a Cool Deck finish, or stamped concrete that looks like natural stone, we have the skills to make it happen.
Why Quality Pool Decking Matters in Clearwater
Florida’s weather is hard on outdoor surfaces. Strong sun, heavy rain, humidity, and salt air can wear down a pool deck in just a few years. If decking is installed poorly or made from low-quality materials, it can crack and break, which looks bad and can hurt bare feet. Some surfaces get too hot to walk on, and slippery spots are dangerous when wet. Stains and fading can make your backyard look uncared for.
Choosing professional pool decking in Clearwater can fix all these issues. A new deck looks great, stays cooler, offers better grip, and lasts for many years with little upkeep.
Our Pool Decking Services in Clearwater
At Pool & Spa Creations, Inc we provide a wide range of pool decking options in Clearwater and St. Petersburg. Each project begins with a free consultation, material samples, and a clear written estimate.
Travertine Pavers – The Premium Choice
Travertine is often seen as the top pool deck material for Florida homes. It stays much cooler than concrete or brick, even on the hottest days. Its textured surface gives great grip when wet. Travertine looks elegant in tumbled, brushed, or filled finishes, and comes in ivory, beige, or silver shades. It is also strong, resisting cracks and standing up to sun, salt, and pool chemicals.
We install travertine pavers for homeowners who want their backyard to feel like a resort.
Cool Deck (Acrylic Coating) – Classic Florida Finish
Cool Deck is a textured acrylic coating that goes over existing concrete. It has been popular in Florida for years because it stays cool by reflecting heat, making it comfortable for bare feet. The rough texture helps keep the area safe around water. Cool Deck is affordable, costs less than stone or pavers, and is easy to fix. Small cracks or chips can be patched and recoated.
We can apply Cool Deck to solid existing concrete or include it in a new pool deck. You can pick from many colors to match your home.
Stamped Concrete – Affordable Elegance
Stamped concrete lets you get the look of stone, brick, or wood for less money. We offer patterns like ashlar slate, cobblestone, flagstone, and wood plank, with different colors, stains, and textures from smooth to sandy. Stamped concrete is strong, easy to customize, and fits most budgets. We seal every stamped concrete deck to protect it from sun and pool chemicals.
Brick Pavers – Timeless Beauty
Clay brick pavers always look good. They give a classic, warm feel that works well with traditional and Mediterranean homes. Brick is naturally slip-resistant, stays cooler than concrete, and can be relaid if repairs are needed.
Concrete Resurfacing and Repair
You may not need to replace your whole deck. If your concrete is still strong but looks old, we can resurface it with spray knockdown texture, stamped overlay, or Cool Deck coating. Resurfacing costs less than a full replacement and only takes a few days.

Our Pool Decking Process
- Consultation and design: We visit your home, inspect your existing deck, discuss your budget, and show you material samples.
- Written estimate: You receive a detailed proposal with line-item pricing for materials, labor, removal, and sealing.
- Removal or preparation: If replacing an old deck, we remove the existing concrete or pavers. If resurfacing, we clean and repair the base.
- Base and drainage preparation: A proper base is critical for paver longevity. We ensure a proper slope for water runoff away from the pool.
- Deck installation: For pavers, we lay the base, set pavers, cut edge pieces, and sweep in polymeric sand. For Cool Deck or stamped concrete, we pour or coat the surface, add texture and patterns, and apply sealer.
- Cleanup and final walkthrough: We clean the entire area, remove all debris, and walk you through the finished deck with care instructions.

Travertine pavers and Cool Deck are the top choices. Both stay much cooler than concrete, brick, or stamped concrete. We offer both as part of our pool decking services in Clearwater.
