Top Pool Decking Options for Your Remodel

A pool remodel isn’t complete without the right decking to enhance comfort, safety, and aesthetics. The right material transforms your backyard into a space you’ll enjoy year-round. Here are the best options to consider.
Image

Cool Deck

Cool deck remains one of the most practical choices for pool remodeling. Designed to reflect heat, it stays comfortable underfoot even on the hottest days. This acrylic coating is applied over concrete, creating a slip-resistant surface that blends affordability with function.
Image

Concrete Pavers

For homeowners looking to add texture and personality to their pool area, concrete pavers offer a durable and stylish solution. They come in various colors, shapes, and finishes, making it easy to design a custom look. Unlike traditional concrete, pavers won’t crack as easily, and individual pieces can be replaced without redoing the entire surface.
Image

Travertine Pavers

Travertine is a top-tier option for those who want a timeless, high-end pool deck. As a natural stone, it absorbs less heat, making it more comfortable underfoot. Its slip-resistant surface enhances safety, and its earthy tones seamlessly blend with desert landscapes.
Image

Porcelain Pavers

If you’re drawn to sleek, contemporary designs, porcelain pavers offer a clean, polished aesthetic. These pavers mimic the look of stone or wood without the upkeep, resisting stains, fading, and weather damage. Perfect for homeowners who want a modern poolscape without worrying about frequent maintenance.
Image

Broom Finish Concrete

Broom finish concrete is an easy, budget-friendly way to refresh your pool deck. This method creates subtle texture for slip resistance while maintaining a smooth, clean look. It’s a great choice for those wanting a cost-effective update that blends well with any backyard style.
Image

Acid Etched Concrete

For a more refined take on concrete, acid etching creates a lightly textured finish that enhances safety without being too rough. It offers a sleek, polished appearance while improving traction, making it a great way to modernize an older pool area.

Upgrade Your Backyard with a Spa Addition

A spa remodel is one of the most impactful ways to enhance your backyard. Whether you're upgrading an outdated design, adding modern features, or integrating a spa into your existing pool, this addition transforms your space into a year-round retreat. A remodeled spa can improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and provide the ultimate relaxation experience. With various spa styles available, you can create a seamless, cohesive design that enhances your pool’s layout while meeting your personal needs.
Image

Level Spa

If you’re updating a geometric pool, a level spa is a sleek, integrated option. Sitting flush with the waterline, it allows for smooth transitions between hot and cold water, creating a modern, streamlined aesthetic.
Image

Elevated Spa

Elevating your spa above the pool adds depth and visual interest to your backyard. With the option for a spillway or decorative tile accents, this remodel feature turns your spa into a striking design element while improving water circulation.
Image

Sit & Spin Spa

Looking to maximize space? This signature California Pools & Landscape design eliminates bulky entry steps, allowing you to sit on the edge and pivot directly into the spa, giving you more usable seating and a unique, functional upgrade.
Image

Perimeter Spill Spa

A true showpiece for your remodel, this design creates a smooth, continuous flow of water over all edges, delivering a high-end, resort-style effect. Often finished with eye-catching 1”x1” glass tile, a perimeter spill spa adds a sophisticated touch.
Image

Acrylic Spa

If you're looking for a simple yet functional upgrade, an acrylic spa (also known as a jacuzzi or hot tub) can be incorporated into your remodel. Placing it within a raised seating wall ties it into your poolscape, offering both hydrotherapy benefits and a seamless design.
Image

Stand Alone Spa

If your backyard doesn’t have space for a full pool remodel, adding a stand-alone spa can still elevate your outdoor experience. Ideal for homeowners wanting a dedicated relaxation space, this option provides warmth and comfort without requiring a full pool renovation.

Stunning Water Features

Adding or upgrading water features during a pool remodel brings movement, sound, and visual appeal to your backyard. Whether you want a subtle trickle for ambiance or a dramatic cascade to make a statement, incorporating the right water elements can transform an outdated pool into a modern oasis. Water features not only enhance aesthetics but also improve relaxation by creating a soothing atmosphere. If your current pool design feels incomplete, these additions offer a simple yet high-impact way to refresh your space.

Water Features to Enhance Your Remodel

Image

Bubblers

If you're updating your Baja shelf or spa, adding bubblers is an affordable way to introduce playful water streams. These small fountains create a soft, rhythmic sound that enhances relaxation while adding movement to the water.
Image

Deck Jets

For homeowners looking to bring a dynamic element to their remodel, deck jets create shimmering arcs of water from the deck into the pool. Whether installed individually or in a symmetrical arrangement, these features add elegance and a mesmerizing, resort-like effect.
Image

Pool Scuppers

Scuppers are an excellent addition to raised pool walls or columns, providing a controlled, cascading flow of water. Available in various sizes, materials, and shapes, they offer a refined architectural touch while introducing the tranquil sound of flowing water.
Image

Rain Sheer

If your remodel calls for a bold, eye-catching water feature, a rain sheer delivers a stunning waterfall effect. Waterfalls in a uniform curtain produce a dramatic sound and visual centerpiece that elevates any pool design.
Image

Sheer Descents

Looking for a modern, sleek upgrade? Sheer descents create a smooth, glass-like sheet of water that flows gracefully into the pool. These features provide an elegant, contemporary look without the heavy splash effect of traditional waterfalls.
Image

Pool Water Bowls

Water bowls bring an artistic, sculptural element to your remodel. Typically placed on raised pillars or along the pool deck, they offer a striking blend of fire and water elements when paired with fire bowls. Choose from stone, copper, or concrete finishes to customize the look.
Image

Waterfalls & Rock Grottos

For a resort-style transformation, consider adding natural stone waterfalls or rock grottos. These large-scale features create a private retreat, blending seamlessly with desert landscapes while offering the calming sound of rushing water. They can also serve as hidden swim-in caves, perfect for both relaxation and adventure.

Custom Lighting

Lighting is one of the most impactful upgrades in a pool remodel, transforming both functionality and ambiance. LED pool lights offer energy-efficient, long-lasting illumination while allowing you to customize colors and brightness for the perfect atmosphere. Landscape lighting enhances pathways, plants, and architectural features, tying the entire backyard together. For added luxury, fire, and water feature lighting creates a striking nighttime aesthetic, elevating your space into a resort-like retreat. With smart automation, you can control all lighting elements with a simple app, making it effortless to adjust your backyard’s mood at any time.

California Pools was phenomenal to work with! From our designer Brian Magrath who listened to us and helped us stay within our budget, to Myra Olson and Vina Ortega who coordinated the project and kept us informed, to Matt White who was our construction manager and would stop in multiple times to check on the progress and do quality control. Our project included the pool, turf, extending the patio to the full length of the house and granite stone. Communication is KEY for us; they always promptly returned calls/texts and answered any and all questions that we had with patience. From breaking ground to our pool orientation was less than 3 months! I will recommend them to anyone who is thinking of putting a pool in, and if needed, will definitely use them again!!!

Scott and Jordan were great kept in constant communication with me with delays and scheduling. I was very pleased with Scott helping me design my and if I needed changes he was on point. Jordan was on point with the construction from start to finish he answered my calls no matter if it was on a weekend or night. California Pools gave me 5 stars service great company and great team. Thank you Scott and Jordan.

I had a great experience with my pool build. But even better is the continued excellent support I receive from Chelle McCarthy of the warranty department. I had tree die just outside of its warranty period (due to the extreme heat) and I contacted her and explained the situation and she agreed to have it replanted after summer. She is very friendly and responsive, and a great representation of the California Pools staff!
Michael S.

Michael S.

We had a fantastic experience with California Pools; something not often found in the pool building industry. Marc was our salesman. He knows a lot about pools and was a great resource. He did not try to up-sell us, and was enjoyable to work with. We did receive multiple proposals and found Cal Pools price to be competitive. Our scheduler, Cindy was amazing, always keeping us in the know about what was going to happen, and when.......she was never wrong, and a scheduled milestone was never missed! There is nothing like good communication to keep a customer happy, and California Pools certainly understands that contcept. Chuck was our superintendent. On a few occasions we expressed a concern about work that was done by one of the subs, and invariably Chuck had it resolved to our satisfaction the next day. He knows his business well, an how to get the best work from each trade. Customer satisfaction rep, Lynde followed up with us after completion, just to be sure we were happy. We had one small technical issue to resolve, and she took care of it immediately and without question. We love our new pool and fire wok, and would not hesitate to work with California Pools and Landscape again. Thanks to everyone on the California Pools team for a terrific job!

We just completed a large landscape and pool project with Calpools. Our coordinator Michelle did a great job of keeping us informed and following up on issues. Our supervisor Steve also did a great job getting things scheduled, and really came through at the end of the project when we had a fairly big issue to resolve. Our designer Matt was great to work with as well. In our initial meeting, he presented us with an initial design, which was very helpful getting the ball rolling. He provided a lot of technical expertise regarding pool equipment, and were very happy with the entire design process. One small issue is that we did have some startup issues with the pool equipment. It took a few people to resolve the issues over about a 2 week period, but everything seems to be taken care of now.

We decided to trust in California Pools for our backyard project and wow they did not disappoint. The fantastic experience started off with our swinger Matt Sauer helping us create our dream. Matt's experience kept us from making some major design flaws all while keeping us to our budget. Our project was then turned over to Darrin Castillo who was our construction manager. Our project was completed by the targeted deadline due to Darrin's professionalism. The company is customer oriented and holds its contractors to the same standards. Thank you Cal Pools!

California Pools made the pool building process as easy as I could have imagined. They were great about being in very regular contact via email all through the process and they made special accommodations for our HOA too. I can highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a great pool. Our pool turned out beautiful! It's exactly what we wanted down to the last detail.

We are so happy with our pool and landscape! We had just moved to AZ and it was our first time having a pool. We bought a new construction and Cali Pools was able to start construction before we even closed on the house. We are so happy with Dave's vision and Cari who helped with the warranty requests. We highly recommend them. Even our pool guy complimented how nice and high quality work California Pools did.

As a first time pool owner California Pools made our experience easy and we love the outcome. Our designer Les created exactly what we wanted. We had a wonderful and very helpful construction manager Pete B working our project along with our scheduler Sarese F. Communication is key and they always kept us informed and we saw Pete onsite regularly making sure we knew what was going on and taking care of our new pool project . We are very happy with the process and our experience with California Pools. I highly recommend them!

California pools was one of MANY companies that we met with for a consultation to build our dream pool. We ultimately decided to go with California pools because of their amazing reviews and our sales guy Robbie. Robbie made us feel like we were going to get everything we wanted and got us excited for the process from the beginning. Throughout the process we met Sean our construction manager who was beyond helpful and went out of his way to make the process as smooth as possible. Sean bent over backward and went above and beyond his duties to make sure that we were happy. After the Shotcrete was poured we were not going to be home to keep it watered so Sean came to the house and set up a sprinkler on a timer just so we wouldn't have to worry. We were super impressed. Sandra the scheduler was another person that made the pool building process spectacular for us. She answered countless phone calls and questions with the best attitude and sincere compassion. She had us up to date on every single thing that was going to be happening and a precise timeline. The sales manager Darren also met with us toward the end of construction just to make sure we were happy and that everything was going smoothly. The pool is now done and it looks AMAZING we are so happy with the quality of materials and service. We have already recommended California pools to a friend who is currently in the building process and will continue to refer in the future. Thank you California pools for turning our dreams into a reality!!!

Todd Hutchins was absolutely amazing! Our project consisted of a 55,000 gallon pebble tech pool, waterfall, spa, 1 meter diving board, travertine deck, 2 fire bars, Ramada, waterwall in the courtyard, and a 1/2 acre of landscaping-We have an incredible backyard it is stunning. Todd made our vision become reality. Todd made sure our project was finished on time, construction area was clean, and most important he communicated with me and the contractors. Every job has a few hiccups, Todd made sure that they were dealt with in a timely manner and communicated everything to us. My project was finished last July and I thought I would never hear from California Pools again, but Todd still takes the time to answer questions that come up and make sure I don't have any issues. More companies need employees like Todd. Honestly, I can't say enough about Todd. Any company can build a beautiful pool not all of them can provide quality customer service while doing it! Jesse R is another incredible employee, that I have had the pleasure of dealing with at California Pools. I meet Jesse once my project was completed-he did my pool start up. This guy knows his stuff! He know everything about the Hayward System. He took the time to make sure I understood how my whole system worked. He still answers my questions and it's been almost a year. He will try to walk me through how to fix whatever I have called about and if I still don't understand, he has stopped by to show me. More companies need employees that take the time like Jesse. California Pools built me an incredible courtyard, backyard, pool and spa but what makes them different is their employees who take the time to communicate with you and achieve your vision.

We have seen a big turnaround on our project since Darrin Castillo has taken over as site superintendent. Fredi Martinez has been instrumental in getting the FX color landscape lights that makes our property really pop in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Darrin and Fredi from California Pools for any pool and landscaping project.

We're building a house in Wickenburg Ranch! We met with Brian yesterday to design our pool. Clearly we hadn't a clue about what a pool would cost, but when Brian heard our budget he kept his poker face and smile and steered us to what we CAN afford! In short order I went from totally deflated to elated! In about 2 hours time we left with a beautiful plan for our back yard! You can tell that Brian genuinely loves his job! We're still about a month or so off of "breaking ground" and from there I'm not even sure when Brian and his team will begin, but we're looking forward to watching the building progress! I have no doubt that the experience with California Pools will continue to be excellent! Thanks Brian!!

We are very pleased with California Pools! The process starting from the sales office with Les up to completing the project was easy. We were never disappointed with the team that was assigned to us. Pete our construction manager was great. He was very professional and informative always keeping us I the loop of the project. He had great communication with us. Sarese had a great response time and kept us informed of all our appointments. Everyone we dealt with was very friendly. We are very happy the way our pool came out!

Where do I begin?! We just moved here from Chicago to be a part of this beautiful state with its warm weather and warmer people! Decided to purchase a home from Meritage at Sedella in Goodyear. After selecting my lot, I wanted to find the perfect pool company. California Pools was Meritage's preferred pool builder, but thinking that there was a price hike, I vetted 2 other pool companies along with Cal Pools. After speaking with all 3, I flew in from Chicago to meet with Les L. at Cal Pools. LOVE HIM! He listened to what I wanted, heard me when I said I was a "virgin" to pool ownership, designed the pool & landscape as I watched, at the same time talking to me on a personal level. The prices were NOT higher than 1 of the other companies, and company #2 designer never got back to me after the initial call. Pete B. was my construction manager who sent me a text every time something was about to happen or was happening or he called me, and more often than not, he was at my house making sure it was PERFECT! To back him up was Sarese S. from Cal Pools Chandler office who scheduled everything! She sent me emails almost daily! Actually, everyone I had contact with at Cal Pools has been AMAZING! I also have to compliment my construction manager from Meritage Sedella; Frank, who worked with Pete making sure Cal Pools had access to my yard and making sure everything went smoothly! It was so nice to have the pool construction being done alongside the house construction. I cannot recommend California Pools highly enough! Oh! I almost forgot Gabe W. who came out to give us our orientation on how to work a pool! He took his time, was patient, understood us being first timers & gave us his cell for immediate questions! The pool is beyond beautiful and the workmanship is beyond expectation! HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! ~Jennifer D. a very happy pool owner in Goodyear!!!

California Pools & Landscaping just finishes my pool along with decking and artificial turf for the pups. It looks awesome and the team of Sara, Dave and Sean were great to work with. Dave had my backyard vision come to life, Sara keep me informed on scheduling with the great app and always answered my questions quickly. Finally Sean made sure everything was completed to my satisfaction. The pool and yard are perfect.

We just completed a pool, water feature, fire pit and backyard lighting. The job was completed on time with great communication. Rob, Mike and Sarese for excellent customer service. The project was done as projected, a few delays but not without reason. Saris was excellent on communication of schedules. Very impressed with the subcontractors. All very friendly and very good at their trade. Thank you, Cal Pools, for turning our drab backyard into a resort!

Need to add to my prior review of California Pools. After the project was completed, Ryan Anderson , Service Tech, came out to the house to teach me everything from maintenance, to pool chemistry, to the actual workings of the pool. Very informative. Additionally, he came back today just to double check on the pool water. Due to all the construction, the initial startup, the water was a bit cloudy. Water tested well and it was determined it was construction dust/landscape dust. The pool is continually clearing up on its own. He adjusted the jets, tweaked the skimmer flow and re-tested the water to make sure all was good. Cannot beat that. Thanks Ryan ! you are an asset to CPL

TOP NOTCH IN EVERY WAY My HAYWARD POOL PUMP failed out-of-warranty and CALPOOL assisted in getting it replaced by HAYWARD and then installed the PUMP at-no-cost; even though they were under no obligation to do so. Leslie was incredibly helpful and had the replacement pump installed the day after the PUMP arrived at my residence from Hayward. I recommend CALPOOL without reservation. Rick D.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Remodeling


Q: How much does it cost to remodel a swimming pool in Arizona?

The cost of pool remodeling in Arizona typically ranges from $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the scope of work. Basic resurfacing projects start around $10,000-$20,000, while comprehensive renovations, including deck replacement, water features, and structural changes, can range from $30,000 to $100,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific needs and desired features.

Q: How long does a swimming pool remodel take?

Most swimming pool renovation projects take between 2-8 weeks to complete. Simple resurfacing jobs may take as little as 7-10 days, while complete pool transformations with additional features, deck replacement, and equipment upgrades can take 6-8 weeks. Weather conditions and material availability can affect timelines, but our project managers will provide you with a detailed schedule before work begins.

Q: What are the most popular pool renovation projects in Arizona?

The most requested pool remodeling services in Arizona include pool resurfacing with modern pebble finishes, upgrading to energy-efficient equipment, adding water features like waterfalls or scuppers, installing travertine or pavers for cooler deck surfaces, and incorporating baja shelves or benches for in-pool lounging areas. LED lighting upgrades are also extremely popular for enhancing nighttime enjoyment.

Q: Is pool remodeling worth the investment?

Yes, remodeling your swimming pool is typically a worthwhile investment that can increase property value by 5-8% when done professionally. Beyond financial returns, renovations improve safety, reduce maintenance costs through energy-efficient equipment, and significantly enhance your outdoor living experience. Most homeowners report much higher usage of their backyard after a pool renovation.

Q: Can I remodel my pool in phases to spread out the cost?

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to complete their pool renovation in planned phases. We can create a comprehensive master plan for your pool remodel and implement it over time. Common phased approaches include starting with critical repairs and equipment upgrades, then moving to aesthetic improvements like resurfacing, and finally adding luxury features like water features or deck upgrades.

Q: What are signs that my pool needs remodeling?

Key indicators that your pool needs renovation include rough surfaces that catch on swimwear, visible cracks in the plaster or deck, fading or staining of surfaces, outdated or inefficient equipment, high water or chemical usage, or simply an aesthetic that no longer matches your style preferences. Most pools in Arizona need some form of renovation every 7-15 years, depending on materials and maintenance.

Q: How do I choose the right pool finish for Arizona's climate?

For Arizona pools, we recommend highly durable, heat-resistant finishes like pebble finishes (particularly Sea Glass Pebble) that stand up well to intense sunlight and hot temperatures. These finishes resist fading, staining, and chemical breakdown much better than traditional plaster. Color choice also matters. Lighter finishes reflect heat and show less dust, while darker finishes absorb heat but can make the water appear more blue.

Q: What deck surface is best for Arizona pools?

The most popular pool deck surfaces for Arizona's climate are travertine and other natural stones that stay cooler underfoot, resist heat absorption, and drain water effectively. Acrylic-topped concrete (Cool Deck) is also an excellent choice for its heat-reflective properties. We recommend avoiding plain concrete which can become unbearably hot during summer months.

Q: Can you add modern features to an older pool?

Yes, we specialize in updating older pools with modern features. Popular upgrades include adding automation systems for remote control via smartphone, energy-efficient equipment, salt water systems, LED lighting, water features, and features like baja shelves or benches. Nearly any modern pool feature can be incorporated into an existing pool structure during a custom pool renovation.

Q: How can I make my pool more energy-efficient during a remodel?

Energy efficiency improvements during pool remodeling include installing variable-speed pumps (which can reduce energy usage by up to 80%), LED lighting, efficient heaters, automatic covers to retain heat and reduce evaporation, and updating plumbing systems to optimize water flow. These upgrades typically pay for themselves within 2-3 years through reduced utility costs.
