With hot summers and plenty of sunshine, pools are one of the most popular backyard features for Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners. But a pool isn’t complete without a patio or deck that’s functional, safe, and stylish.

At Azul Outdoors, we design and install custom poolside patios and decking that combine durability with beautiful designs, making your pool area the centerpiece of your outdoor living space.

Benefits of a Poolside Patio or Deck

1. Safety First

Non-slip concrete finishes and textured surfaces make patios safer around water.

2. Durability

With Texas heat and pool chemicals, durability matters. Concrete and stone withstand the elements better than wood.

3. Low Maintenance

Stamped or stained concrete requires minimal upkeep compared to wooden decks, which need constant sealing and repairs.

4. Style Options

From modern stamped concrete to natural stone finishes, poolside patios can be customized to fit your backyard design.

5. Entertainment Value

A well-designed pool deck adds space for lounging, dining, and entertaining guests.

Popular Poolside Patio & Decking Options

• Stamped Concrete: Mimics stone, tile, or wood while staying durable and affordable.
• Stained Concrete: Adds rich, vibrant colors that complement your pool.
• Exposed Aggregate: Slip-resistant and stylish with a natural texture.
• Stone Accents: Incorporate stone features for a high-end, resort-style look.
• Turf Integration: Add artificial turf around patios for a green, low-maintenance accent.

Tips for Designing the Perfect Poolside Patio

1. Plan for Shade: Add pergolas, umbrellas, or covered patios for sun protection.
2. Choose Light Colors: Lighter finishes stay cooler under the Texas sun.
3. Add Lighting: Extend use into the evening with LED poolside lighting.
4. Think About Flow: Design walkways and lounging areas that connect naturally to the pool.
5. Include Seating: Built-in benches or surrounding furniture make your pool area more inviting.
