Your choice of pool patio material is essential to consider in your swimming pool budget and can have an impact on your overall inground pool cost. For example, you can opt for a standard broom-finish concrete pool deck that averages $6.50 per square foot, or you can opt to have a travertine paver patio that runs $16.00 per square foot. For a 1,000 square foot patio, that can mean a variance of nearly $10,000.
