Water and Fire Elements Combined for Poolside Bliss

This backyard pool deck incorporates a combination of outdoor fire and water features to create a mesmerizing fusion of elements for a true backyard experience.

The main paver featured throughout this backyard pool deck is Unilock Beacon Hill™ Smooth in Granite Mist, laid on a 45-degree angle that draws guests from the deck to the patio and toward the welcoming pool. With its sleek, modern aesthetic and contemporary color palette, Beacon Hill Smooth is strengthened with EnduraColor™ technology, delivering enduring beauty while resisting the effects of chlorine and other chemicals typically found in pool environments. Beacon Hill Smooth is also incorporated as a single accent band in a smaller rectangle throughout the perimeter of the project and surrounding the outdoor fire pit located adjacent to the pool. 

The addition of Unilock Copthorne® pavers in Basalt to this backyard pool deck introduces a touch of old-world charm reminiscent of classic European street corners. These timeworn-inspired pavers, part of the Elegance™ family, are crafted with Reala™ technology and Ultima™ concrete, ensuring both enduring durability and timeless aesthetic appeal. Laid in a zigzagging herringbone pattern beneath the outdoor fire pit, Copthorne® pavers not only enhance the visual interest but also contribute to the stability of the patio, elevating the overall ambiance of the backyard oasis.

Toward the rear of the yard, a delightful outdoor fire and water feature steals the show, built using U-Cara® in the Umbriano finish with French Grey and Midnight Sky accents, topped with Natural Stone coping in Stone Cliff Grey. Fire bowls adorn both corners of the wall, combining the soothing elements of water with the warmth of fire to create a cozy ambiance that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. The U-Cara wall continues along the patio beyond the pool, creating a tranquil retreat for the homeowners to relax by the water under the shade of the umbrella. Soft patio lighting installed in the U-Cara coping adds a touch of magic, casting a warm glow that enhances the serene atmosphere.

With its genuine charm and thoughtful design, this backyard escape is more than just a gathering space—it’s a place where memories are made and cherished, offering a slice of paradise right in your backyard. Learn how to make a big splash with your pool deck project.
