Do you want to impress your friends with a beautiful pool deck? That's easy, with these easy tips that you can do to improve the appeal and functionality of your pool deck at the same time.
If you have an above ground pool, having a pool deck really adds to its appeal and it also provides you enough space where you can relax but without spending too much. You can have a deck built around your pool and this can provide you a place to put a few lounge chairs for you to relax in. It can also give you a place where you can just relax after having a dip in the pool. One thing you need to think about though is whether you'd like to put a gate in the deck. If you have a lot of kids who are always up for a swim, having a gate would help with their safety. It also helps to keep your pets out of the pool area and just let them have fun in the backyard.
Pool decks generally look good with lots of plants around the area. But you can't pick just any plant to put around it. Pick the plants which don't absorb water easily, and those which don't grow too fast. You don't want to have wilted leaves floating in your pool or trim the branches of the plants all the time. Put little flowery shrubs in pots to put around your deck because they are low maintenance and they instantly add color and a nice aura to your yard.
Another way you can make your deck area more attractive is by having decorative concrete designs. If you have the time and money to have this made, it's a great investment. Decorative concretes are basically what the name suggests. Different designs are either molded or painted to the concrete to achieve a specific look. There are several ways you have this. Either you do it yourself or hire a professional to do it for you.
To have a really nice deck, all it takes is some creativity and having a general vision on how you'd like it to look. If you want it to be natural, having plants around it are a cheap way to make your area more attractive. If you're opting for a classier look, the decorative concretes are perfect, especially if you have a big budget for decorating your pool deck. Just remember that the first thing you should do if you want to make your pool deck attractive is to plan it carefully and properly.
