Details: Pool Deck Remodel – Large 4 Piece Travertine, Color is QDI Light
One thing we know for sure about life in Arizona is we will always be dealing with extreme heat. When it comes to pool decks and patios we need to factor in ways to minimize the heat on surfaces and avoid damage to materials due to extreme temperatures. At Imagine Architectural Concrete we have over 20 years of experience designing, and installing the highest quality pool decks and patios, that customers love and enjoy, right here in Arizona. With scorching summers, in stunning landscapes, we specialize in creating gorgeous functional outdoor spaces.

A recent project we worked on seamlessly blends beauty and functionality using exquisite large 4-piece travertine pavers. This choice not only beats the heat but also elevates the aesthetics of any outdoor space.

As the temperature rises, the pool deck becomes a focal point in your home, a space for relaxation and entertainment. A pool deck remodel not only enhances the visual appeal of your outdoor space, but can also address practical concerns such as durability, safety, and ease of maintenance.

For this project, large travertine pavers were used to create a perfect marriage of style and substance. The light, pale hues of the QDI light travertine perfectly reflect the Arizona sun, helping the surface stay cooler to the touch while lending an air of sophistication to the design. The larger format of the pavers adds a modern touch.

QDI light travertine is a great choice in any hot climate. The light color palette truly complements the vibrant Arizona landscape of greens and earthy tones, as well as creating a stunning look that is eye-catching. The end result is a modern tranquil retreat, with heat and slip resistance, ensuring a safe environment poolside for family and friends.

Are you ready to embark on a journey to revitalize your Arizona pool deck with some timeless elegance and the practical benefits of large 4-piece QDI light travertine? Your remodeled pool deck will stand the test of time and the sun, fusing style and substance, creating a retreat in your own home that is both beautiful and enduring.

A pool deck and patio remodel. We used 16 x 24 Philadelphia Pavers
Our Imagine Architectural team recently worked on a project in Scottsdale, Arizona. The pool deck and patio remodel transformed the backyard into an oasis, with luxurious travertine Philadelphia Pavers. With any project our design team is available to provide you with a wide variety of options for your pool deck and patio surfaces, helping you to make the best decision for your project and budget. For this specific project, our clients selected Philadelphia pavers.

These travertine pavers are known for their classic beauty and durability. They are versatile and come in a range of sizes, shapes, and colors, allowing you to truly customize your outdoor space. The smooth clean lines of these pavers add a touch of sophistication that complements any architectural style.

Travertine is a natural stone and many are attracted to it due to the warm tones and unique nature of each paver, which allows you to create a customized look. It is a sedimentary limestone that has a long history in architecture and is undoubtedly very visually appealing. More practically, it is cool underfoot and provides a comfortable surface for your patio and pool deck area, especially in the heat of Arizona.

Pavers are also a great choice as you can create unique patterns and select from a variety of paver sizes. For this project, large pavers were selected in 16 x 24 inches. These large-size pavers add an element of modernity to the look and aesthetic of the poolside space. The larger paver creates a more contemporary look, so this can be a great choice, depending on the style of your home and the overall look you wish to create for your dream backyard. Also, you can have lots of fun choosing the colors and tones of your pavers. Light-colored travertine can provide a more traditional feel, enhanced by picking smaller pavers, or you can go for the more earthy warm tones to create the perfect look for your home.

These travertine pavers have many practical benefits. They are durable and resistant to wear and tear. They are also easy to maintain with a natural resistance to heat and slipping, making these a good choice with safety in mind.

As with any pool deck and patio remodel, proper installation is so important. Hiring professional and experienced installers like our Imagine Architectural Concrete team will ensure the longevity of your pool deck, while maximizing the design possibilities, and leave you with a result you can love and enjoy for many years to come.

So is it time for you to elevate your outdoor space with travertine and Philadelphia pavers? You too can create timeless elegance, durability, and design potential with these materials in your dream backyard. Give our team a call today to discuss your travertine pool deck replacement.

Our team is here to transform pool decks, helping you create an outdoor oasis for your family and friends to enjoy for many years to come. Recently one of our customers in Chandler, Arizona, embarked on a pool deck remodeling journey to revamp their ugly old concrete pool deck with modern silver travertine pavers in a large versailles pattern. As part of the project we also removed a tired fire pit and added artificial turf. The end result truly transformed and elevated their outdoor space.

Step 1 – Pool Deck Planning

The project started with in-depth and thorough planning, including research and decisions on materials, as well as determining any issues that required attention prior to the remodel. With any remodel the preparation of the existing pool deck is key. It was decided that the removal of an old fire pit would contribute to the desired end result.  

Step 2 – Pool Deck Preparation and Drainage

One of the primary issues we dealt with during this project was efficient drainage. In Arizona drainage can be an issue, with the combination of extreme heat and intense rainstorms during monsoon season. Our highly experienced team is familiar with what needs to be done to upgrade backyard drainage systems. This is a crucial step in ensuring that the investment in your outdoor space won’t be compromised by flooding, or a build up of stagnant water.

Step 3 – Design and Silver Travertine Pavers

With support from our design team, our customers selected silver travertine pavers displayed in a large Versailles pattern. These pavers are made from natural stone, creating a luxurious, customized aesthetic while being extremely durable, slip resistant, and a great choice for the Arizona climate. The large Versailles pattern is an elegant European look, sometimes also called the French pattern, that is believed to have come from the pattern used for the floors of the Versailles palace. The pattern generally uses four different sizes of paver displayed in an intricate flooring pattern. For this project we utilized stone pavers in the following sizes – 16″x24″, 16″x16″, 16″x8″, and 8″x8″. Turkish travertine is a high quality stone that truly elevates any outdoor space.

Step 4 – Remodeled Modern Silver Travertine Pool Deck

Particular to this project was the perfect combination of materials and pool deck pattern, to elevate the entire backyard. The elegant shape of the pool works perfectly alongside the luxurious modern silver travertine pavers, the Versailles pattern, and the artificial grass. The end result is a poolside paradise that invites everyone to relax and enjoy. Whether it’s for relaxation, entertainment, or to simply enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather, a beautifully and thoughtfully remodeled pool deck, with expert installation is a valuable addition to any home.

Selecting a pool deck material is a great place to start. 

After all, the pool deck material you choose can help ensure that the finished product is durable, will last for many years, looks great, matches the aesthetic of your home, and is safe for you and your family.

A suggestion would be to take a look at travertine. Travertine pavers have become a popular choice for a modern pool deck design. The individual, unique pavers create a luxurious modern look that compliments most house styles, making it a really versatile choice for a modern pool deck. In other words, travertine is a classic, with a luxurious custom appearance, natural stone qualities, earthy hues and unique veining.

A travertine pool deck is durable

On a more practical level it is durable! It is known for its robustness, capable of withstanding the harsh outdoor elements, such as the Arizona sun. Also it is a cooler surface. Unlike some other materials, travertine maintains a comfortable temperature even under the scorching sun, preventing your pool deck from becoming uncomfortably hot. And last but definitely not least, the natural texture of travertine provides excellent slip resistance, a crucial feature around pool decks where water can create slippery surfaces.

Is it time to design your own modern travertine pool deck?

At Imagine Architectural Concrete our award-winning design team will work with you to choose from a  wide range of travertine colors, including ivory, beige, silver, porcini, and walnut, to match your desired aesthetic. A popular choice is the cool, contemporary appeal of light-colored travertine. You can also experiment with laying the pavers to create unique custom patterns that further enhance the modern look of your backyard.

And don’t worry, a travertine pool deck is easy to take care of and maintain. All it needs is regular cleaning, sweeping away debris and a quick hose down to prevent dirt buildup. Just use a mild detergent and soft brush for an occasional deeper clean.
