Coastal-grade porcelain pool decks, patios, lanais and driveways in Venice, built for sun, salt air and coastal sand.
Porcelain paver installation in Venice, FL: EC Paver Solutions serves Venice as Sarasota County’s only Hardscape.com certified porcelain paver installer. Coastal-grade pool decks, patios and driveways designed for the Gulf lifestyle.
The detail that changes here: Venice sits on loose coastal sand close to the Gulf. We confine and compact the base in lifts before the porcelain goes down, and near the beaches we use marine-grade joints and edge restraint.
We measure on site, check drainage and any existing slab, and send a written, itemised quote.

Materials
2CM where you walk, 3CM where you drive — and travertine if surface temperature matters more than no sealing.
Pool decks, patios, lanais & walkways
The standard for pool decks and patios. Light enough for pedestal systems, strong enough for all foot traffic. Non-porous surface resists pool chemicals and salt air with no sealing required.
Learn moreDriveways & heavy use
Required for any area where vehicles cross. 3CM handles full vehicle weight without cracking. Also the premium option for pool decks and patios where maximum durability is the priority.
Learn moreThe coolest surface underfoot
Natural stone that stays comfortable barefoot in full Florida sun. Classic in a French pattern. Needs sealing on a regular schedule, more often near the coast.

Venice was planned around Northern Italian architecture, and on the island warm tones and stone looks suit the house as much as the yard. Porcelain with a travertine or stone look gives that feel with no sealing.
Venice sits on loose coastal sand close to the Gulf. It needs confinement and a compacted base, or a deck or patio settles unevenly where the gutters discharge.
On Venice Island and near the beaches we treat every job as coastal: marine-grade joint compound and stainless or concrete edge restraint, because standard polymeric sand and steel spikes do not last against salt and wind-blown sand.
Gated communities around Venice have architectural review boards that approve colour, pattern and border before work starts. We prepare the product sheets, samples and layout the board asks for.
Process
We measure, check where water goes and assess any existing slab, then lay out the footprint with you.
HOA review when your community requires it — before any work starts.
New areas: excavate, geotextile and compacted crushed stone in lifts. Existing slab: clean, repair and profile for mortar.
Confined edges and a fall away from the house, so roof water leaves the patio.
Pattern laid and levelled continuously, clean wet-saw cuts around columns, drains and doors, no lippage.
Polymeric or marine-grade joints, sealing where the material needs it, and a final walkthrough with you.

FAQ
EC Paver Solutions serves Venice as Sarasota County’s only Hardscape.com certified porcelain paver installer, including Venice Island, Venice Gardens, South Venice, Nokomis, Laurel and North Venice.
Yes. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, so salt air, pool chemicals and rust do not get into it, and it never needs sealing. On Venice Island and near the beaches we pair it with a marine-grade joint compound, because standard polymeric sand does not hold against wind-blown sand and salt.
It depends on material, size, the base your lot needs and what we do with any existing slab. We measure on site and give you an itemised written estimate — no square-foot guess over the phone.
Often, yes. If the slab is sound, drains correctly and leaves enough height at the door threshold, porcelain can be mortar-set directly on it, which avoids demolition. We check all three on site before recommending it.
Yes. Many Venice homeowners are seasonal. We do the free design and 3D with you this winter while you are here, then the installation can go ahead while you are up north, and we send you photo updates of the progress. You come back to a finished pool deck, patio or driveway.
Yes, in 3CM thickness, mortar-set on a concrete base. 2CM porcelain is for pool decks, patios and walkways; it is not made for vehicle loads.

EC Paver Solutions just finished installing porcelain tile around our pool, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Diogo and Paulino were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were professional, accommodating, and worked around an existing drain without any issues. The project was completed on time, and their crew left us with a beautiful, clean, and completely ready-to-use lanai. We were so impressed with their work that we’re already having them back to replace our pool’s existing waterfall. That says everything about how confident we are in their workmanship. EC Paver Solutions is AMAZING! We highly recommend Diogo, Paulino, and their entire team.

Diogo and his team replaced our horrible travertine pavers with large porcelain pavers in a light cream. They are incredible! The entire team did such a great job and we’re very happy with the outcome! We highly recommend EC Paver Solutions!

I just have installed the "Da Vinci" Italian Porcelain tiles by EC Paver Solutions in my driveway, and I could not be happier with the results. Diego and his team did fantastic job. They finished the project on time we agreed on and they clean after the work was done. Great job done!

Highly recommend EC Pavers. Diogo is great to work with and his crew is fast and very detailed. They completed a large project around our pool using 3cm ceramic pavers and mosaic tiles wrapping the spa and waterline of the pool. A few months later, they came back to do the driveway also in the same ceramic pavers. The work was done promptly and everything was handled in a professional and efficient manner. Diogo has come back a few times to take care of minor items and is always available to address any concerns. I’m very happy with the work and highly recommend them to anyone.
