The Deck and Patio Company Replaces Pool Deck After Hurricane Sandy

The Northeast has just marked the first anniversary of Hurricane Sandy which devastated our
shores. And no area was harder hit than Long Island’s South Shore. However, home-by-home,
what was lost during that horrific super storm is being restored or replaced and our firm is
honored to be part of this on-going resurrection.
The following deck and pool project is an example of we have been using our design/build
expertise to bring back the joys of waterside living for families shaken by loss, but who are also
strong in their desire to rebuild.
Beautifully situated on a bay off the Atlantic, the backdoor of this home is set high above ground.
In order to bring the outdoor space up to the same level as the home, our design called for three
deck levels leading from the door down to a new freeform vinyl pool and beautiful deck
surround.
As always, when we build a deck, we take into consideration proper space planning to allow
room for tables, chairs, barbeques, food pep areas and other features that make outdoor living so
enjoyable. In addition, we create a design that takes into consideration the size of the property
and the ability to maintain views. Considering the beautiful vistas open to this home, maximizing
views was an important factor in every part of our design. www.deckandpatio.com
Just steps from the seating area, level two of the new deck offers a custom outdoor kitchen/eatingarea. Here, a new grill, refrigerator, and smoker/cooker are set within curved custom cabinetry with raised bar that mimics the decking. The white vinyl railing offers dramatic framing to the warm wood tone of the outdoor kitchen and deck.
The “level three” pool and decking area was also designed to capture beautiful views of the inlet.The pool is a vinyl-lined and our design/build team added a Long Island boulder wall in front of some plantings to increase the natural look of the pool area; we also added a large custom diving rock. While Deck and Patio designs and builds gunite pools as well, we find that many of our clients these days prefer the padded, smooth, soft feel of vinyl, such as seen here. Of course, the base construction of the vinyl pool is the same as any other. “Vinyl” simply means the method used to line the pool’s interior. These liners come in a large variety of colors, which can react with the water to create the romantic “grotto” or “lagoon” effect so desirable today.
Our decks are designed to be safe and unique. They are built to bring the outdoor space up to the same level as the home. When faced with a steep slope, a higher deck can lead down to a lower deck creating multiple levels such as seen here. We use design enhancements to accommodate each lifestyle, such as setting the pool off to the side instead of in the center to allow more grassyareas for children to play or to create lounge areas, colored skimmers and returns to blend in withthe liner of the pool. www.deckandpatio.com
