Deck Repair That Fixes Real Problems

When your pool deck cracks, settles, or develops uneven sections, it creates trip hazards and makes the area look worn down. In Lakeland and across Central Florida, shifting soil and constant water exposure cause pavers to sink or concrete to crack along joints. Florida Aquascapes handles repairs that fix the underlying cause, whether that's poor drainage, an eroded base, or damage from tree roots. You'll also work with them on new deck installations where the design accounts for how water moves, where shade falls, and how the deck connects to your pool and patio.

Repairs include leveling sunken pavers by lifting and re-setting them on a compacted base, filling cracks in concrete with flexible sealant, and resurfacing worn sections so they match the rest of the deck. If the deck is beyond repair, replacement gives you a chance to change the material, adjust the layout, or extend the surface into other parts of your yard. Lakeland's sandy soil and seasonal rain make proper base preparation the most important part of any deck project.

What Happens During Deck Repair and Resurfacing?

Florida Aquascapes starts by inspecting the deck to see where the damage is and what caused it. If pavers have settled, they're lifted and the base is re-compacted with new material before the pavers go back down. Cracked concrete is cleaned out and filled with a polymer-modified sealant that flexes with temperature changes. In Lakeland, where heat and moisture cycle daily, materials need to handle expansion without breaking apart.

After the repair is done, you'll see a level surface without lips or gaps between sections. Trip hazards are gone, and water drains off the deck instead of pooling in low spots. If the deck was resurfaced, the new layer bonds to the old concrete and gives you a uniform color and texture across the entire area.

Repairs extend the life of your existing deck without the cost of tearing everything out. If only part of the deck is damaged, Florida Aquascapes can match the material and color so the repair blends in. 

Full replacement is recommended when cracks are widespread, the base has eroded, or the surface has become too rough or uneven to fix with resurfacing alone.

Questions about how long repairs take, whether you can still use the pool, and what causes decks to settle come up often in Lakeland. These answers give you a clear sense of what the process involves.

Florida Aquascapes repairs cracked, uneven, and worn pool decks throughout Lakeland, and designs new decks that handle Florida's weather and soil conditions.
