A pool deck has to perform in ways no other hardscape surface does. It needs to handle standing water without getting slippery, stay cool enough for bare feet in July, resist chlorine and salt without breaking down, and drain properly so water never pools where people walk. That is a lot to ask from a surface, and it is exactly why material selection and drainage engineering matter more here than anywhere else on your property.
Whether you are building a new pool and want the surround done right from day one, or you are replacing a wood deck, concrete slab, or older paver job that is not holding up, we handle the full scope. Most pool projects involve more than just pavers. You typically need a retaining wall to level the area around the pool, a complete drainage system, new coping, and a safety fence. We build all of it as one coordinated project so every piece works together.
What Does Pool Paver Installation Cost in Portland?
Most Portland homeowners invest between $30000 to $80000 per project for a complete pool decks project. Final cost depends on area size, material selection, and site preparation needs.
Key cost factors:
- • Patio area size
- • Retaining wall requirements
- • Drainage system complexity
- • Paver material selection (concrete, porcelain, or travertine)
- • New build vs. existing deck replacement
- • Safety fencing
Pool surround projects typically involve more than just pavers. When you factor in the retaining wall, drainage system, coping, and fencing, these are some of our most comprehensive residential projects. We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate after the site visit so you know exactly what you are investing in.

Drainage Engineered Into Every Project
Drainage is the single most important element of a pool deck, and it is the thing most contractors get wrong. Every pool surround we build has cross-slopes and strip drains engineered into the base from the start. Water moves away from the pool, away from the house, and away from the equipment pad. No standing water. No guesswork.
The Right Paver for Your Pool
We always recommend a larger format paver around pools. Bigger pavers mean fewer sand joints, which means less maintenance and a cleaner look. Concrete pavers deliver the best slip resistance for wet areas. Porcelain pavers are the easiest to keep clean and resist staining from sunscreen and pool chemicals. Travertine is naturally cool underfoot and offers strong slip resistance. We help you pick the right material for how you actually use your pool area.
Retaining Walls and Site Leveling
Most backyards in Oregon have slope to them, and a pool area needs to be level. That typically means building a retaining wall to create the flat pad your pool surround requires. We handle the wall engineering, drainage behind it, and the paver surface as one integrated project. One contractor, one plan, no coordination headaches between separate crews.
Complete Pool Surround, One Contractor
We coordinate with your pool contractor on new builds, or handle everything ourselves on replacements. Retaining walls, drainage systems, excavation, coping, paver installation, and safety fencing. You get one point of contact for the entire project outside the pool shell.

How It Works
From consultation to completion: a seamless experience
On-Site Consultation and Design
We visit your property, assess the grade and drainage conditions, and talk through what you want from the space. If a pool contractor is involved, we coordinate directly with them on elevations, coping details, and scheduling. If you are replacing an existing pool deck, we evaluate what needs to come out and design the new layout with proper drainage built in from the start.
Retaining Wall and Drainage System
Most pool surround projects start here. We build the retaining wall to create a level area, install the full drainage system behind the wall and throughout the patio, and make sure water has a clear path to designated outlets. This is the foundation of the entire project and the part that protects your investment for decades.
Base Preparation and Paver Installation
With drainage in place and the area leveled, we build the compacted base, screed the bedding layer, and install your selected pavers. On new pool builds, we work around the pool company's coping. On replacement projects, we install new coping along with the paver surround. Every paver is cut to fit, joints are filled with polymeric sand, and edges are properly restrained.
Fencing, Cleanup, and Walkthrough
If your project includes a safety fence, it goes in after the pavers are set. We handle final grading around the project perimeter, clean up the site, and walk through the finished space with you. You get a pool area that drains correctly, handles Oregon weather, and is built for bare feet.
