Durable decking and paving framing your Lake Hiawatha pool, chosen to handle splash-out, heat and the Coffs Harbour - Grafton climate.
The deck or paving around a pool is the surface your family walks, sits and lies on every time the pool is used, so it has to be safe and hard-wearing as much as good-looking. For Lake Hiawatha pools we install both decking and paving, and the right choice depends on the look, the budget and the way the area drains. Timber decking gives warmth underfoot and a relaxed feel, with hardwoods like spotted gum and merbau standing up well to the Coffs Harbour - Grafton climate, though they need periodic oiling. Composite decking trades the natural grain for almost zero maintenance, resisting fading, splinters and rot, which suits busy Clarence Valley households. On the paving side, travertine stays notably cool in summer sun, porcelain pavers offer a sleek modern edge and excellent stain resistance, and concrete pavers provide a tough, cost-effective finish in many colours and textures. Whatever the material, slip resistance is the non-negotiable around water, so we specify textured or honed surfaces rather than anything polished. Good Pool Decking & Paving is as much about what sits underneath: a properly compacted base, the right fall to drain water away from the pool and the house, and joints or gaps that shed splash-out instead of pooling it. Coping at the pool edge ties the deck to the shell and gives a safe, rounded lip to climb out on. We can lay the Pool Decking & Paving as part of a new pool build or retrofit it around an established Lake Hiawatha pool. The finished surround frames the water, makes the pool safer to move around, and stands up to years of wet feet and Clarence Valley weather.
