Palm Beach County · Wellington
Out in Wellington's equestrian estates the pool decks are large, and a big travertine deck on acreage is where cool, non-slip stone pays off most.
Wellington is a different kind of pool-deck job. Out on the acreage of Palm Beach Point, the Aero Club and Grand Prix Village, the decks are large — often wrapping a full estate pool with room for shade structures and an outdoor kitchen — so material choice and drainage across a wide area both matter. Cool-underfoot travertine and marble are the natural fit for a deck this size that stays comfortable all summer.
We build these for the scale. That means excavation and a compacted base sized to the deck, edge restraints that hold a large field flat, and a clean coping around the pool edge. On acreage we also plan the drainage across the whole deck so summer downpours run off and away from the pool and the house rather than pooling at the coping.
The size is the opportunity — a large travertine deck on an estate lot is a statement, and it is where pavers pull the furthest ahead of a poured deck that would crack across a span that big. We pull the Village of Wellington permit, meet the pool-barrier code, and grade the full run.
Estate pool decks cover a large span — we build a base sized to the deck, hold it flat with edge restraints and coping, and grade drainage across the whole area so heavy rain runs away from the pool and the house.
Yes. A poured deck that size cracks as the ground shifts; a paver deck is individual units over a compacted base, so it flexes and stays flat — and any spot that ever settles can be reset, unlike a cracked concrete slab.
Travertine and marble. They stay cool under bare feet even on a large deck in full sun, grip when they are wet, and hold up to the wear a busy estate pool sees through the season.
That is a big part of what we do in Wellington. We plan the deck, the coping and the drainage around the kitchen or shade footprint so the whole space reads as one build and water still runs away from the pool.
It depends on size, material and site prep, which is why the on-site visit and written estimate are free and itemized. Financing through Wisetack is available so the budget does not decide the timeline.
