Pool and patio together: planning and cost

Most pool projects are really pool-and-patio projects. Planning them together gets you a better layout and usually a better price.

Why we don't sell fixed packages

Every Long Island yard is different: access, slope, soil, setbacks and where the sun hits. A fixed package either leaves things out or charges you for things you don't need. Instead, we measure your yard and price exactly what you want, with a 3D design so you can see it first.

These are published market ranges from Long Island contractors' cost guides and national cost sites, not CMC prices. Your number depends on your yard, access and finishes. We give a written quote after a free visit.

How much deck do you need?

  • Lounging: about 4 feet of deck per lounge chair, on the sunny side.
  • Dining: a 10×12 area for a table for six.
  • Walkways: at least 3–4 feet around the rest of the pool.
  • Later projects: leave room for the kitchen or fire pit you might add.

Why one crew saves money

When the pool builder and the patio contractor are different companies, you pay for two mobilizations and someone has to coordinate grades, drains and coping. We dig, build the pool, lay the base and set the pavers with the same crew and our own excavation equipment, so the pieces line up and the yard is torn up once.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it cheaper to do the pool and patio at the same time?

Usually, yes. Excavation, grading and equipment are already on site, and the deck can be built right after the coping without a second contractor.

Do you offer pool packages?

No. Every yard is different, so we price each project after a free visit and include a 3D design.

What decking is best around a pool?

Pavers are the most popular and affordable. Porcelain stays cooler and looks modern; natural stone is premium. See our pavers vs porcelain guide.
