Start Your Pool Patio Makeover Before Next Summer

Why Fall Is the Smart Time for a Pool Patio Makeover

As summer winds down across Maryland, families are starting to notice what the sun, water, and time have done to their outdoor spaces. Concrete cracks. Edges wear down. And the area around the pool that once felt fresh may now seem tired and dated.

This is exactly why fall is the ideal time to plan a pool patio renovation. At Valley Deck & Patio, we specialize in high-end patios and outdoor living spaces that are designed to elevate your backyard—and be ready before next summer hits.

Get Ahead of the Spring Rush

Once warm weather arrives, the schedule fills quickly. Waiting until March or April to start planning often means your project won’t be completed until deep into summer—or later. By starting in the fall, you’ll enjoy better availability, more time to make thoughtful design decisions, and the satisfaction of knowing your new pool patio will be ready for the very first sunny day.

Rethink the Surface Around Your Pool

Many Maryland homeowners are still living with the original concrete that came with the house. It might be cracked, uneven, or stained—and it rarely adds much visual appeal. Worse, poor drainage and age can cause shifting, pooling water, or even safety concerns.

That’s why so many are switching to custom paver patios. Unlike poured concrete, pavers allow for movement, making them more resilient over time. They're also easier to maintain and repair, since individual pavers can be replaced without redoing the entire surface.

Choose from the Best in Paver Design

We work with top-tier paver manufacturers, all of whom offer options built specifically for Maryland’s climate. These aren’t your average pavers—they’re engineered for performance and styled for luxury.

Cambridge Pavers® offers classic, natural-looking textures and long-lasting color thanks to their ArmorTec® finish. Their Sherwood and Ledgestone collections bring a refined, timeless feel to any pool surround.

Techo-Bloc stands out for bold formats and modern elegance. Products like Blu 60 feature clean lines and large slabs that give your space a sleek, contemporary edge.

Each of these brands offers complementary wall and border options too—perfect for adding visual interest or building out additional features like seating, steps, or edging.

For those looking for a more natural option, travertine is a standout choice for pool surrounds. This beautiful, natural stone stays cool underfoot—even in direct sun—making it ideal for bare feet during Maryland’s hottest summer days. If you're aiming for a resort-style feel in your own backyard, it’s worth considering.

Go Beyond the Basics with Outdoor Living Upgrades

A pool patio can be more than just a place to dry off. With the right design, it becomes the centerpiece of your entire outdoor living space. Many Valley Deck & Patio clients are pairing their pool decks with additional features that take the space from functional to unforgettable.

Think stone seat walls that create cozy conversation zones. Outdoor kitchens built with matching materials for seamless integration. Fire features that extend the season well into fall. Or covered pavilions and screened-in decks that provide shade and shelter, rain or shine.

These additions not only make your space more usable—they make it more enjoyable for guests, family gatherings, and quiet nights at home.

Designed to Handle Maryland’s Weather

One of the biggest advantages of working with a local team is that we understand the climate. From heavy rains in Howard County to freeze-thaw cycles in Baltimore County, every pool patio we install is engineered to withstand local conditions.

We don’t just place pavers—we build the proper base, design for drainage, and ensure long-term durability with the right materials and techniques. That means less water pooling, fewer maintenance headaches, and a patio that looks great for years to come.

Enjoy the Benefits of Low-Maintenance Design

Homeowners often ask about upkeep, especially when comparing pavers to poured concrete. The truth is, a well-installed paver system can save you both time and money over the years.

Many of the brands we use don’t require annual sealing. Joint sand helps keep weeds from growing. And if anything does get damaged, a single paver can be swapped out—no patching or resurfacing required. Cleaning is simple too—just a hose or light power wash will bring it back to life.
