Default Cool deck vs pavers

From grinding the cool deck to getting grout in the pool you can't even see the steps from all the debris.
Not sure we'd do it again but that's hindsight.
So far it's taken 5 days and counting with 5-6 workers.
IMHO I would never install pavers areound a pool. They move (lift), weeds sprout up, grout (sand) needs maint. Also, if you later want to add a pool screen, aka bird cage, you need a footing. Usually, paver systems do not have footings. Finally, have concrete poured with "Cool deck." finish. Looks great and your feet will appreciate the cool deck.
