Paver Pool Decks in Reunion, FL
The short version for Reunion
A paver overlay on a Reunion pool deck runs $15.00–$24.00 per sq ft and travertine $20.00–$36.00 per sq ft (Q3 2026 Cost Index). Reunion is unincorporated Osceola County (an overlay outside setbacks is flatwork) and its architectural review runs through three management companies by section: Artemis Lifestyles for single-family homes and most condo sections, Greystone for the Villas, Southwest Property Management for the Terraces. Villas and estate homes are scheduled between guests.
Reunion's 2004 to 2015 pavers are ready for stone
Reunion's first decade of homes were built with paver pool decks on pool backfill that was rarely compacted; twenty years on, coping has settled, joints have opened, and owners upgrading a rental villa or an estate home ask for travertine, marble or large-format porcelain. Sound decks get a thin-set travertine or porcelain overlay with new bullnose coping and a channel drain at the cage line; settled decks are rebuilt on wetted, compacted backfill and base (Paver Base on Flatwoods Sand vs. Ridge Sand: Osceola and Polk Are Not the Same). Rental decks get anti-slip penetrating sealer and polymeric sand rated for cleaning crews (Pool Decks and Driveways for Vacation Rental Owners in Four Corners, ChampionsGate and Reunion); the heat comparison is in Travertine vs. Concrete Pavers.

Who approves a pool deck change in Reunion?
The management company for your section: Artemis Lifestyles for single-family homes and most condominium sections, Greystone Management for Villas North and South, and Southwest Property Management for the Terraces. Each has its own ARC form; we prepare the packet (site plan, sample, color, pattern, drainage note, our insurance certificate) and submit it to the right office before the county paperwork.

Three management companies, one county
Reunion is administered in parts. Artemis Lifestyles handles the single-family and several other product types, Greystone manages the Villas north and south, and Southwest Property Management handles the Terraces. Which one reviews your pool deck depends on which product type your home is, not on where it sits geographically, and a submission sent to the wrong company simply waits.
For permitting, the whole resort is unincorporated Osceola County. A paver deck overlay that does not tie into the pool structure is generally flatwork; a rebuild that touches the bond beam, the enclosure footer or the elevation at a door is a conversation with the Building Office before we quote. We resolve both questions at the site visit and put the answers in the proposal.
Decks built between 2004 and 2015, and what they need now
Most Reunion decks are ten to twenty years old, and that is the age at which the original installation's quality becomes visible. Decks built on a properly compacted base are still flat and need cleaning, re-sanding and sealing. Decks built on thin or uncompacted base have settled at the loaded edges, usually where the spa or the outdoor kitchen sits, and those need the field lifted and the base rebuilt under the affected area.
The coping is often the deciding element. Original bullnose coping that has stayed bonded and level indicates the deck has not moved against the pool; coping that has lifted or separated indicates it has. That single check, plus a tap test, tells us whether you are buying a maintenance visit or a rebuild, and the difference between those two numbers is large enough to be worth the twenty minutes.
Spa and water-feature edges
Many Reunion decks include a raised spa, a water feature or a fire bowl, and those are where deck problems concentrate. A raised spa is a concentrated load on a deck built for foot traffic, so the base under it has to be built for the load or the deck settles around it within a few years. A water feature puts a constant splash line on one area, which accelerates whatever the surface does with water.
When we rebuild a deck with any of those, the base under and around them is built separately from the field, usually on a footing rather than on compacted aggregate alone, and the surface immediately around a splash line is sealed on a shorter interval than the rest.

Questions we get about this
Is a permit needed for an overlay?
An overlay on a deck outside setbacks is flatwork in Osceola; a deck tied to the pool or screen structure is confirmed first.
Can you work while the home is rented?
Between bookings; overlays take four to five days, rebuilds seven.
Travertine or marble?
Both stay cool; marble is lighter and costs more. Samples on the deck decide it.
What happened to the coping?
Settled pool backfill; a rebuild compacts it before the new deck goes down.
Which Reunion management company handles my application?
It depends on your product type: Artemis for single-family and several others, Greystone for the Villas, Southwest for the Terraces. We confirm before submitting.
How do I know if my deck needs a rebuild rather than a clean and seal?
Check the coping and tap the deck. Bonded, level coping and a solid ring mean maintenance. Lifted coping or hollow areas mean the base has moved.
