You can also add the tile pattern to your backyard using composite materials. Use darker wood deck panels to install horizontally down the patio, then use the same kind of panels to run across the deck vertically. The color of wood in between can make it look like you laid tile down, but in reality, you have a patterned composite wood design that’ll be a good conversation starter at parties.

3. Concrete Pool Deck Ideas

Concrete pool deck ideas, believe it or not, can be very versatile. If you have your home to yourself, you could have your pool match the same theme. Since you will be designing your pool area from concrete, this may be more difficult than usual, but it can be done.

A concrete pool area with sharp edges and dark-colored, contemporary furniture would accent a modern and minimalist type of home. For this design, you can use textured patio lounge chairs and warm up the space by adding torches, ideal for nighttime swim sessions. The concrete pool deck can be the same shade as the lining of your ground pool to give the design continuity.

If you are going for more contrast in the design of your concrete pool decking, try using bricks that can be placed at different angles as concrete decoration. This can create a circular or abstract-shaped swimming pool area.

You can use this same idea for your jacuzzi or a kids’ side of the pool, if desired. To have your ground swimming pool area as visually pleasing as possible, make sure the surrounding grass is landscaped according to the layout of your deck and pool area. Having well-trimmed hedges and pulled weeds will make your pool area feel less like a to-do list and more like a vacation.

Stamped concrete can provide unique pool ideas for those who want to turn their backyard into an island getaway. You can install stamp concrete to extend your lawn to the edge of your backyard pool and have an easy entry way so that you can go from lounging on your patio furniture to diving into your pool.
