How Prairie Crest Deckworks Builds Pool Decks in Cicero
A Pool Deck is a custom outdoor platform built around an above-ground or in-ground swimming pool that includes framing, decking boards, safety gates, and stairs. Prairie Crest Deckworks designs these Pool Decks to handle wet conditions, constant foot traffic, and chemical splashes without falling apart.
Building a Pool Deck around a pool requires tight tolerances and smart drainage planning. Prairie Crest Deckworks uses framing lumber treated for ground contact or corrosion-resistant hardware that will not rust out when it gets soaked with chlorinated water. Our team also frames around pumps, filters, and ladders so homeowners can still reach their equipment easily.
Backyards in Cicero deal with heavy freeze-thaw cycles and clay-heavy soil that shifts in the spring. Prairie Crest Deckworks digs post holes below the frost line, usually around 42 inches deep, to keep your Pool Deck from shifting or heaving when the ground thaws. Prairie Crest Deckworks also makes sure water drains away from your house foundation and the pool liner.
Homeowners often worry about slipperiness when the wood gets wet. Prairie Crest Deckworks spaces boards correctly and uses decking materials with textured surfaces to keep feet safe. You will not have to worry about popped nails tearing up bare feet either, because Prairie Crest Deckworks uses hidden fasteners or face-screws with coated deck screws.
Prairie Crest Deckworks builds Pool Decks with materials like pressure-treated southern yellow pine or composite brands like Trex that resist moisture absorption. Composite boards will not splinter and require zero staining, which saves you a weekend of work every spring. Prairie Crest Deckworks wraps up every Pool Deck build by cleaning the site and hauling off scraps so you can jump right in.
