Yes! Pavers can be installed on top of an existing concrete deck, even if the deck is cracked. Pavers are installed over sand, therefore the new deck will absorb small shifts without cracking the pavers. The renovation coping piece has a drop-down face that will cover the old coping, so you don't have to remove the old coping, just cut it back. The reno coping is then install over mud right on the top of the old pool border. The rest of the deck will be set on send. Just lay the pavers leveled with the reno coping. Check out some before and after pictures. You can contact us for more information at (305) 653-7283 or email us at info@artisticpavers.com

Before. Existing cracked concrete deck
Before: the reno coping was installed right on top of the existing coping. You still can see the old concrete deck below it.
After: Finished deck showing pool border with reno piece installed and the drop down face covering the old coping.
After: pavers installed on the top of the old cracked concrete deck. Pavers installed over sand. They will absorb small shifts and will not crack.
After: Pavers over old concrete deck without removing the old concrete slab.
After: The result is perfect and it saves time and money as you don't need to remove the old concrete slab. The pavers are installed over the deck laid down over sand with no grout. That will allow the pavers adjust to natural terrain shifting.

    We have vinyl liner pool with standard white coping and cement surround is there a way to do this with our pool?

    I was told that pavers over a concrete slab would promote a lot of mold because the water is trapped and has nowhere to drain such as the soil. Any truth to this? Thank you

    Since decks are usually so big, it is a huge talking point with any backyard landscaping. I was looking on http://lifestylepatios.com/gallery/decks/ to see some ideas for what I would like to do in our backyard when it's time for my husband and I to renovate our deck. I think a nice oak color would go really well with the pool and the plants in our backyard.
