For many homeowners in Arizona and Southern Nevada, aging or unused pools have become more of a burden than a luxury. Rising maintenance costs, safety concerns for children or elderly family members, and the desire for more usable outdoor space have led many to seek alternatives. A pool to deck conversion offers a practical, reversible solution that saves money, protects property value, and avoids the pitfalls of permanent pool removal.
When faced with an unused pool, the common first thought is to fill it in. But there are long-term consequences homeowners often overlook:
Instead of costly, irreversible pool removal, Freedom Decks installs a custom in-pool deck that transforms your unused pool into a flat, walkable surface without demolition. This deck over swimming pool option uses a proprietary bracket system and composite decking materials designed for durability and safety.
