Imagine relaxing by the pool on a sunny afternoon, enjoying refreshing drinks and snacks with loved ones all throughout the summer in Fredericton. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an inviting space just steps away from the water where you can lounge in comfort? Well, with a thoughtfully designed patio surrounding your in-ground swimming pool, you can create the ultimate outdoor oasis.
Combining a patio with an inground pool creates a functional and enjoyable outdoor oasis that enhances your home’s value and lifestyle. Some key benefits include:
More usable space for amenities like seating, cooking equipment, and games without crowding the pool deck. This allows for larger gatherings and activities without disrupting the pool area.
A comfortable, hard surface transitioning from the pool to other areas of your backyard like landscaping or a play area, avoiding soggy grass and mud tracking.
A unified, cohesive design that makes your entire backyard feel larger and more polished compared to separate disjointed areas. This improves aesthetic appeal.
Increased property value from effectively maximizing your outdoor living space potential and creating a backyard retreat enjoyed all season long.
Year-round versatility since covered patios allow enjoying the space even when the inground pool is closed for the winter.
Proper preparation and planning are important for successful patio installation. Consider upfront the following factors to design one that seamlessly blends with your existing pool area.
Choose a location that receives ample sunlight for warmth and relaxation, while also providing shade during peak hours for comfort. Consider drainage installation and avoid low areas that collect water. Place the patio near amenities like your outdoor kitchen or grill for convenience during entertaining.
Durable, weather-resistant materials like natural stone, concrete, or composite decking are ideal for poolside patios installation where they will withstand splashing and weather elements year-round. Choose slip-resistant surfaces for safety. Consider maintenance needs and aesthetic coordination with your existing pool.
With planning complete, focus on design elements integrating your new patio seamlessly with the pool area. Consider layout, integrating structures, and safety features.
Create a seamless transition between the patio and pool area using matching materials, colors, and landscaping. Consider elements like a stone coping around the inground pool matching the patio, plants in coordinating planters, or string lights draped overhead. Maintain a cohesive aesthetic throughout the entire backyard.
Choose a layout that maximizes the pool’s use, provides ample space for sunbathing and entertaining, and enhances the overall aesthetic. Consider a wrap-around or L-shape design, or separate seating and activity areas joined by a walkway. Leave enough clearance from the pool edge for safety and Code compliance.
Install safety features like fencing, non-slip surfaces, and pool alarms to prevent accidents and protect children and pets. Consider barriers separating areas where running or active play may occur. Use anti-slip deck coatings and keep the space free of clutter and obstacles.
When undertaking a patio project, choosing the right patio installation contractor is critical. Look for a company with experience building patios, especially around the pools. Ask for references from past clients and review photos of previous work. An established local business can more easily address any issues after completion. Going with a reputable, experienced contractor ensures your patio turn out beautifully.
Expect a professional team to excavate the area, lay the foundation, install the patio materials, and complete the finishing touches. Concrete needs curing time before use. Pavers may need grouting or final sand-filling. Edging, outdoor lighting, and amenities are then added for the complete oasis effect.

Most pool code authorities require at least 5 feet of clear space between the pool side and any permanent fixtures like patio edges. An 8×12 foot or larger patio area provides plenty of room without feeling cramped.
If installing patio pavers, it’s wise to use a waterproof paver installation system incorporating a flexible sealant between pavers. Concrete inherently repels water once cured. Decking materials vary – consult manufacturer recommendations.
Pool codes generally require at least 5 feet between any entertainment/activity areas and the pool for safety and maintenance access. Anything closer may violate code so confirm distance guidelines for your location.
