Yes, pavers are the deck.

I wouldn't go it alone if I hadn't already lined up all the contractors. We have an addition going on as well and the plumbers and electricians are doing both (same guys). The tile, coping, pavers, and screen guys have all been contracted BY US, not the "pool contractor". Like I said, his help has been sketchy at best. The few guys he has lined up have 1) been in a car accident, 2) been sent to jail (not kidding)! and 3) not shown up.

It always starts with "I know this guy...". So, we started passing on "his guys" and found our own. The contractor who is doing our addition, a real licensed trustyworthy contractor, has helped too.
