Elegant Elevated Paver Decks & Balconies
Enjoy a luxurious, low-maintenance outdoor space with an elevated paver deck. KS Solutions designs and installs sophisticated elevated decks and balconies using a pedestal system and structural pavers. This creates a perfectly level, weather-resistant surface that offers a high-end alternative to traditional wood or composite decking for Central Florida homes with a view.
What are Elevated Paver Decks?
An elevated paver deck uses a pedestal support system to hold individual pavers above an existing surface such as:
a concrete slab
a rooftop
a balcony
compacted ground
Each pedestal is adjustable in height, allowing installers to create a perfectly level deck surface even when the base surface is uneven or sloped.
The pavers sit on top of the pedestals without adhesive or mortar, creating a floating deck system.
This design provides several advantages:
water drains freely between pavers
air circulates beneath the deck surface
moisture buildup is prevented
The open-joint design also allows rainwater to flow through the deck and drain properly.
The space beneath the paver surface can also hide utilities such as:
electrical wiring
lighting systems
irrigation lines
drainage systems
This creates a clean, uncluttered deck surface with no visible pipes or cables.

Advantages Over Traditional Decking
Elevated paver decks offer major benefits compared to wood or composite decking.
These advantages are especially important in the humid climate of Central Florida.
Zero Structural Maintenance
Wood decks require:
staining or sealing
board replacement
regular structural maintenance
Composite decks require less maintenance but can still:
fade
scratch
develop mold in humid climates
Paver decks require none of these repairs.
Pavers are naturally:
UV resistant
moisture resistant
weather durable
They will not rot, warp, splinter, crack, or fade.
Superior Durability
Structural pavers used in elevated deck systems have compressive strengths exceeding 8,000 PSI.
They easily support:
outdoor furniture
heavy foot traffic
grills and outdoor kitchens
Unlike wood decks, a paver deck feels solid and stable underfoot.
Heat Management
Wood and composite decks often become extremely hot under Florida sunlight.
Pavers reflect more heat and remain cooler underfoot, especially lighter-colored options.
The air space beneath the pavers also improves airflow, reducing surface temperature even further.
Design Versatility
Pavers are available in a wide range of:
colors
textures
sizes
patterns
You can create designs that resemble:
natural stone
concrete
porcelain tile
brick
This design flexibility allows elevated paver decks to match nearly any architectural style.
Longevity
A properly installed elevated paver deck can last 30 to 50 years or more.
The pedestal system is typically made from UV-resistant polypropylene that does not degrade over time.
Compared to other decking options:
Wood decks last about 10–15 years
Composite decks last about 20–25 years
Elevated paver systems significantly outperform both.
Local Rules, Regulations, and Standards
In Central Florida communities like Poinciana and Davenport, HOAs often regulate deck height, design, and materials. KS Solutions ensures your elevated paver deck meets HOA requirements while delivering a premium look.
We also design proper drainage to withstand Florida’s storms, ensuring your deck remains safe and stable.
