Safe. Stylish. Made to Soak & Splash.

Pool Deck & Hot Tub Surrounds in Vermont

Designed for Water. Built for Weather.

Vermont-Ready Pool & Spa Deck Construction

Decks near water need to do more than just look good. They must drain well, resist slips, and withstand moisture day after day. We use water-safe materials like composite boards, sealed wood, and anti-slip finishes to keep your space safe and attractive. Framing is reinforced with corrosion-resistant hardware and frost-depth footings for long-term support. Whether you’re surrounding an above-ground pool, framing a sunken spa, or creating a full backyard retreat, we build to perform in Vermont’s four seasons.

Features That Blend Fun With Function

What’s Included in Our Pool & Spa Deck Builds

Every pool or hot tub deck we build is custom-designed to your space and lifestyle. We plan the layout for safety, comfort, and access—often including wraparound steps, privacy walls, or seating zones. Materials are chosen for water resistance and comfort underfoot, and the structure is anchored for both weight and weather. Whether you’re adding a hot tub platform to an existing deck or building a full pool surround from scratch, our team makes sure it looks great and lasts.

  • Flush or elevated decks for pools and spas

  • Non-slip composite or sealed wood surfaces

  • Custom railings, privacy screens, and lighting

Durable, Drainable, Worry-Free

Building With the Right Materials and Methods

Moisture can destroy the wrong kind of deck—but we build with smart materials and sound structure. Our pool and hot tub decks feature weather-treated frames, stainless fasteners, and decking that resists mold, warping, and UV fade. Gaps and slopes are designed for quick drainage, and surfaces stay comfortable even in direct sun. Whether you choose composite, cedar, or pressure-treated lumber, we ensure everything is installed to last through countless soak sessions and splash seasons.

Seamless Style Meets Everyday Use

Decks That Complement Pools, Patios & Backyards

We design your deck not just around the spa or pool—but around your whole outdoor space. Whether it connects to your patio, sits flush with a pool edge, or wraps around a recessed hot tub, our designs are made to blend. We match finishes, tie into your home’s exterior, and add features like built-in benches, towel hooks, or pathways for a polished look. The result is a space that feels natural, comfortable, and completely custom.

From Consultation to First Cannonball

How We Build Pool & Spa Decks

We start with a layout consultation and a structural assessment—especially important when adding around existing pools or patios. Next, we finalize materials and features, review local codes, and schedule permits if needed. From excavation to framing, surfacing to finishing touches, our Vermont-based crews handle everything. We build safely, efficiently, and always cleanly—leaving you with a pool or hot tub deck that’s ready for year-round enjoyment.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Build

Pool & Hot Tub Deck FAQs

Before building around your spa or pool, it’s important to understand the requirements and possibilities. Here are the most common questions we answer.

Question 1: Do I need a permit to build a deck around a pool or hot tub?

Yes. Vermont requires permits for most pool and spa decks, especially if elevated or attached to a dwelling. We handle all permitting for you.

Question 2: What decking materials are safest near water?

Composite decking with slip-resistant texture or sealed natural wood with added grip are best. We’ll recommend options based on your setup.

Question 3: Can you build around an existing hot tub or above-ground pool?

Absolutely. We design to fit snugly around existing structures while maintaining access and proper ventilation.

Question 4: How do you ensure drainage?

We use gapping, slope, and elevated framing to ensure water runoff—preventing puddling and wood rot.
