Need advice-- Wood deck, inground pool

[hoogie]

I am a civil engineer in NJ and we have some strict regs enforced by the state regarding infiltration and impervious coverage. How about brick pavers? Here in NJ you can usually argue with the Township that the sand is a pervious material (if thick enough) and allows ground recharge.

It also depends on your soils. If you need a pretty thick layer of gravel under the sand they may see this as preventing infiltration.

Just my $.02

Amazingly enough a gravel bed is considered an impervious surface. Looks like we're just going to go with a trex deck. Thanks all for the advice.
