There’s nothing like summer in Ontario to remind you how much your pool matters. But if your pool area is looking tired, outdated, or no longer matches your outdoor lifestyle, it might be time for a renovation. At Rivermist Landscape, we recently completed a pool renovation project that transformed an old concrete shell into a modern, luxurious backyard escape—blending function, beauty, and durability.
✅ The Project: From Worn to Wow
Our client’s backyard pool had great bones, but the surrounding area was showing its age. Cracked concrete, uneven surfaces, and poor drainage were making it unsafe and unattractive.
Our solution:
- Removed and disposed of the old decking
- Installed a brand-new interlock patio around the pool
- Improved grading and drainage to prevent water pooling
- Added sleek coping for a clean transition between pool and patio
- Finished the space with modern, low-maintenance landscaping
The result? A seamless, resort-style poolside that’s as durable as it is beautiful.
🧱 Materials That Matter
For this renovation, we used:
- Premium interlocking pavers designed for slip-resistance and durability
- Matching coping stones to tie the pool edge into the patio
- A carefully compacted base to prevent settling and weed growth
- Optional polymeric sand and sealing for long-term protection
These choices not only elevate the aesthetics but reduce maintenance down the road.
