Site Preparation
Our pool deck building process begins with proper excavation below the frost line to guard against future shifting. We compact the soil for a strong foundation and add gravel or crushed stone for drainage support. Concrete footings or piers are then installed to provide stable support—especially important for above ground pool decks.

Expert Installation
Our experienced deck builders use precision tools—like laser levels and pneumatic nailers—for flawless construction. We secure every board using hidden fasteners and reinforced connectors to ensure a clean finish and solid structure. The result? A smooth, level surface that’s both safe and visually stunning.

Enjoy a Safer and Lasting Swimming Pool Deck With Trex
Traditional wood pool decks struggle to withstand Illinois’ harsh seasonal shifts. Between snow, rain, humidity, and daily pool splash, wood is prone to warping, splintering, and rot—leading to serious slip risks and constant repairs for Arlington Heights homeowners. Even pressure-treated lumber requires frequent sealing and sanding just to stay presentable, yet it still falls short in wet environments.
That’s why we build with Trex composite decking. Designed specifically to handle moisture and sun exposure, Trex never needs sealing or staining and resists fading, cracking, and water damage. It stays cooler underfoot, making it safer and more comfortable for bare feet around the pool. And with a 25- to 50-year limited warranty, Trex offers long-term peace of mind, combining beauty and safety in one low-maintenance solution.

Using heat and co-extrusion technology, we transform standard Trex boards into flexible, high-strength curves without compromising durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to build a deck yourself?
Yes, building a deck yourself can save on labor, but it often leads to extra costs from tool rentals, material waste, or installation errors. Pool decks, in particular, require precise planning and structural safety, especially around water and elevation changes. Get a free quote from Warner’s Decking and see how we can build it right on time and within your budget.
Can I legally build my own deck?
In Arlington Heights, you can build your own deck, but you must meet local codes, file permits, and pass inspections. Mistakes here can lead to costly delays or even fines. Contact Warner’s Decking to ensure your deck is safe, approved, and professionally built from day one.
What is the coolest material for a pool deck?
Trex composite decking, especially the Trex Transcend Lineage line, is engineered with heat-mitigating technology to stay cooler underfoot compared to traditional wood or other composites. It’s an ideal choice for bare feet on hot summer days, offering comfort without sacrificing durability or style.
What is the average price to build a deck around a pool?
Costs vary depending on materials, design complexity, and whether the pool is above or in-ground. In the Arlington Heights area, you can expect to invest anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000+. Premium Trex materials and features like lighting or custom seating may affect your total. Need a quote tailored to your space and style? Reach out today for a personalized estimate and expert planning advice.
Can I build a pool deck without digging holes?
Some freestanding or ground-level decks can be built on precast concrete deck blocks, eliminating the need for deep footings. However, for elevated decks or those surrounding above ground pools, digging holes for footings or piers is typically required for structural safety and code compliance.
