Hi Guys -
We bought our house 4 years ago. We have a small/medium sized brick patio with a tiny walkway to the large pool with a tiny aggregate pool deck. There is mulch everywhere. There isnt even enough room for lounge chairs. The original owner put rock around the pool deck trying to fix the fact they skimped on the pool deck. You cannot tell from the picture but there is a 3 foot deck all around the pool. there is another 3 feet of white rocks everywhere as well. The rocks are painful to walk on, get weeds etc. I really want a cost effective way to expand and merge the pool deck and the patio. This doesnt have to be DIY. We have a trex deck against the house. Where would you start? Rip it all out and stamped concrete? The brick is in great shape. The aggregate is looking a little old. My first idea was to add concrete where i wanted and SunDek everything to match. They will not Sundek brick. Have to fill in the gaps between brick and aggregate with something that isnt rocks/grass etc.
I had a quote for about 8k to add 1k sq ft, a brick border and back fill aggregate from the diving board to the house(Left side - replacing grass, mulch, rocks). And the other side to the brick patio(large rock area). Giving us one continuous pool deck and patio. I didnt pull the trigger because we were worried it would look cheap and mismatched.
Thanks!
