Palm Beach County · Boca Raton
In East Boca and the canal-front streets, a pool deck poured with the 1970s or 80s house has usually settled and heated up under bare feet — cool travertine and marble fix both.
Boca Raton is one of South Florida's most established communities, and through East Boca, the Boca Islands and Old Floresta many of the pools date to the 1970s through 90s. A concrete pool deck that old tends to spall, stain from the chlorine and salt system, and settle unevenly against the pool shell. We remove the failing deck, build a proper compacted base, and lay travertine or marble pavers that stay cool underfoot and grip when they are wet.
This close to the ocean and the canals, salt is relentless on a deck, and a salt-chlorine system adds to it. Sealed travertine and marble shrug off both, and if a section ever settles near the seawall or the pool coping we lift and reset those pavers rather than patching a slab you can never hide. We set the coping around the pool edge so the transition is clean and the bullnose is comfortable to sit on.
Whether you are on a non-HOA street in East Boca or inside a gated club like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, we handle the paperwork — the City of Boca Raton permit, the pool-barrier code, the drainage that carries water away from the pool and the house, and the architectural review submittal for the clubs that require it.
Boca's canal-front lots often carry drainage and swale requirements, and the pool-barrier code is checked at permit — we grade the deck so water runs away from the pool shell and the house, never back toward the door.
Travertine and marble are the go-to here. They hold far less heat than concrete or dark pavers, so the deck stays comfortable under bare feet in the afternoon sun, and both grip well when they are wet at the pool edge.
Often yes. If the pool shell is sound we remove the settled pavers, correct the base, and reset the field and the coping so it sits flush again. Where an old concrete deck has failed outright, a rebuild on a fresh compacted base is the lasting fix — we tell you honestly which one yours needs.
Not a sealed travertine or marble deck. We seal the pavers so the salt and pool chemicals bead off instead of etching the surface, and because the deck is individual units, any piece that ever weathers can be lifted and reset with no visible patch.
