Transforming Your Backyard with Style

A pool to deck conversion does more than reclaim unused space—it redefines the look and feel of your entire backyard. The concept of a pool that turns into a patio offers endless design options, materials, and finishing touches, allowing you to create an outdoor area that reflects your personal style while maintaining safety, functionality, and durability.

Customizing Your Freedom Deck

Every pool and backyard is unique, which is why our deck over swimming pool solutions are fully customizable. We work with each homeowner to design a deck that complements their home’s architecture and outdoor lifestyle.

Popular Design Features:

- - Deck Shape and Layout: You can explore options like building a deck over a swimming pool for full-pool coverage, or choose partial coverage and multi-level decks to define different spaces.
