Large modern home with a long rectangular pool, spa, sunken fire-pit lounge and palm trees, built by Dolce Vita Pools And Patios

Outdoor Patios & Pool Decksin Lighthouse Point, FL

Pavers, travertine and natural stone, laid out for lounging, dining and long evenings around the pool.

A patio and pool deck contractor close to home

Dolce Vita Pools And Patios builds outdoor patios and pool decking for homeowners in Lighthouse Point and across Broward County and Boca Raton. We work in pavers, travertine and natural stone, and we build the pieces that make a backyard livable: the deck around the pool, a patio for the dining table, a fire pit with seating, and the walkways and steps that tie it all together.

The layout comes first. Where does the afternoon sun land? Where do the loungers go, and where does everyone gather once the food is ready? We plan the hardscape around those answers, so the space works on a Saturday afternoon and still feels right at 9pm.

The deck is the room everyone actually uses

The water gets the attention. The deck is where the loungers go, where plates get set down, and where wet feet make their way back to the house.

Pool decking & patio design and build

Pavers, travertine or natural stone

Each one looks and feels different underfoot. We'll talk through all three on the walk-through and help you choose for the spot, the style of the house and how the space gets used.

Paver patios

Pattern, color and range

Concrete pavers come in a wide spread of colors, sizes and textures, laid in herringbone, running bond, basket weave or a mix with borders and inlays. Because each unit is set individually, a paver patio can follow curves, wrap around planting beds and change pattern from the dining area to the walkway.

Travertine pool decks

The classic South Florida pool deck

Travertine is a natural stone with a soft, matte face and pale, warm tones that suit the light here. It's a long-standing favorite for pool decks and coping, set in a French pattern of mixed rectangles or in large-format pieces for a cleaner, more modern look.

Natural stone

Every piece its own

Flagstone, limestone and other natural stones bring irregular shapes and color variation that no two yards share. They suit a fire-pit circle, a garden path or steps that should feel settled into the landscape rather than placed on top of it.

Lounging, dining, a fire pit, and the path in between

Most backyards need more than one surface. Here's how the pieces fit together on a sample plan.

Sample planEvery layout we draw starts from the actual property.

Pool decking

The deck sets the tone for the whole pool. We plan room for loungers and foot traffic, choose coping that meets the water cleanly, and pitch the surface so rain runs away from the pool and the house.

Replacing an old deck?

Lounge & dining patios

Sized for the table you own and the way you host. A dining patio close to the kitchen door, a lounge zone with a little distance from the splash, or both, in one material or two that work together.

Add a kitchen or pergola

Fire pit & seating areas

A circle of stone, built-in seating or room for your own chairs, placed where the evening breeze carries smoke away from the house and the conversation.

Walkways & steps

The route from the side gate to the pool, the steps down from the back door, stepping stones through the landscaping. Paths that feel planned rather than leftover, with lighting where you walk after dark.

Starting with a new pool?

A good deck still looks right at 9pm.

Lighting along steps, walkways and seating can be planned into the hardscape from the start, so the backyard works long after sunset.

Layout & material planning

Zones, sizes and stone on one plan

We map out where the pool deck, dining patio, fire pit and walkways go, how big each one should be, and which material suits each spot. You see the whole layout before choosing anything final.

Call (954) 466-1771

Should my pool deck be pavers or travertine?

Both work well around a pool. Travertine has a soft, natural face and pale tones that suit pool decks and coping. Pavers give you more colors and laying patterns, and they can carry one look from the pool deck across to the patio. On the walk-through we'll look at your yard and your house together and talk through which fits.

Can you replace an old pool deck without rebuilding the pool?

Often, yes. Deck and coping replacement is part of our pool remodeling work, and it's one of the biggest visual changes a backyard can get. A remodel can also cover resurfacing, waterline tile and lighting at the same time.

Can you add a patio or fire pit to a yard that already has a pool?

Yes. We plan new patios, fire pit and seating areas, and walkways around what's already there, so the new space connects to the pool deck instead of feeling added on later.

How much does a patio or pool deck cost?

It depends on the size of the area, the material, the pattern and what has to come out first, so there's no one-size price. The free estimate gives you a figure for your actual yard after we've seen it.

Do you also build outdoor kitchens and pergolas?

Yes. Patios are often planned together with a grill station or a pergola for afternoon shade. See outdoor kitchens and pergolas, or start from the ground up with new pool construction.
