A lot of Glendale's pools sit in established backyards surrounded by old concrete decking that's cracked, faded, and uncomfortably hot underfoot. Replacing that deck with travertine or pavers transforms the whole backyard. Stone Creations has built and replaced pool decks across the Valley for more than 25 years, and deck-replacement work in Glendale's settled neighborhoods is right in our wheelhouse.
Out with the old decking
Old pool decks reach a point where patching no longer makes sense, and laying new material over a failing surface just transfers the problems upward. The right approach is to remove the old decking entirely — break it out and haul it away — then build a fresh, engineered base. We've handled large deck-removal-and-replacement projects, including jobs that involved jackhammering out well over a thousand square feet of old decking before installing travertine, and we manage demo, disposal, and rebuild as one clean project.
A cooler, safer surface
The upgrade isn't just cosmetic. Travertine stays cool underfoot even at high noon, a dramatic improvement over old sun-baked concrete, and both travertine and pavers grip better than smooth concrete when wet. We coordinate the new deck with your pool's coping for a seamless, finished look.
Materials
We install travertine, large-format pavers for a modern feel, tumbled pavers for an old-world look that suits many established Glendale homes, natural stone, and porcelain. On a full replacement you get to completely reimagine the space, and we'll bring samples so you can feel the surface and see colors in person.
Built for the conditions
Glendale endures the same caliche soil, extreme heat, and monsoon storms as the rest of the region. We build on a deep, compacted aggregate base, set a precise bedding layer, lay the surface, restrain the perimeter with hidden edging, and compact polymeric joint sand against weeds and washout. We grade the deck for drainage away from the pool and home, and any future settling is a localized reset.
How we work
We begin with a free consultation at your pool: the condition of the existing deck, sun exposure, drainage, coping, and your design goals. You get a clear, itemized quote including demo and disposal. After approval, we remove the old decking, build the base, lay and cut the new surface, set the edges, and finish the joints — most Glendale pool deck replacements done in days, site swept clean. Done right. Done fast.
Upgrade the whole yard
A deck replacement is a great moment to coordinate the rest of your hardscape while crews and materials are on site:
Why a specialist
Most Glendale outdoor companies juggle turf, irrigation, lighting, and pavers and subcontract the heavy work. Stone Creations does pavers and nothing else, with our own ICPI-trained crews on every job and an engineered base under every deck. After 25-plus years and more than a thousand installs, we're still here to stand behind the work — and ICPI Arizona keeps recognizing it.
