We are excited to share that Coastal Coating Resurfacing has been featured in Florida Home Magazine as part of a showcase highlighting the incredible design possibilities of RicoRock custom pool waterfalls. The feature includes one of our completed projects and celebrates the craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail that goes into every backyard transformation.

Our project is also highlighted on the RicoRock website, which features the magazine article and showcases how custom waterfalls can create one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces. You can also read the complete feature in the digital edition of Florida Home Magazine here.

Being recognized alongside RicoRock is especially meaningful because Coastal Coating Resurfacing has spent decades helping homeowners throughout Northeast Florida create beautiful, functional outdoor environments. From stunning Jacksonville custom pool waterfalls to complete pool deck renovations and decorative concrete finishes, our goal has always been to create outdoor spaces that families can enjoy for years to come.

Creating Custom Jacksonville Pool Waterfalls That Feel Completely Natural

A swimming pool is often the centerpiece of a backyard, but adding a professionally designed waterfall transforms it into something much more. The movement of flowing water, the texture of natural stone, and the sound of cascading waterfalls create an atmosphere that immediately feels relaxing and luxurious.

At Coastal Coating Resurfacing, we specialize in designing and installing custom waterfalls using premium RicoRock products. Unlike traditional stacked stone construction, RicoRock products are engineered to recreate the appearance of natural rock while offering exceptional durability, consistency, and design flexibility.

Every waterfall is custom designed around the homeowner’s vision. Some clients want dramatic multi-tier waterfalls with integrated grottos and slides, while others prefer a smaller, elegant feature that gently spills into the pool. Because each project is built specifically for the property, no two waterfalls are ever exactly alike.

Whether you’re creating a tropical oasis, a resort-inspired entertainment area, or a peaceful backyard retreat, a custom waterfall instantly becomes the focal point of the entire landscape.

Why We Choose RicoRock Products

Over the years, we’ve worked with many different materials, and RicoRock continues to stand out for its exceptional quality and versatility. Their engineered rock products provide the authentic appearance of natural stone while eliminating many of the challenges associated with traditional rock construction.

RicoRock products are manufactured from reinforced concrete specifically designed for outdoor environments. They resist fading, cracking, and weather-related deterioration while allowing for virtually unlimited customization. This allows us to create realistic waterfalls, grottoes, slides, coping, boulders, and landscape features that blend seamlessly into any backyard design.

Because the system is modular, we can customize nearly every aspect of the installation, including:

• Waterfall height and width
• Rock textures and coloration
• Multiple waterfall spillways
• Integrated seating areas
• Slides and grottos
• Landscape integration
• Lighting opportunities
• Unique water flow patterns

The result is a finished project that looks as though it has always belonged in the landscape.

Complete Backyard Transformations Beyond the Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall deserves an equally impressive surrounding environment. That’s why many homeowners combine their waterfall installation with complete Jacksonville concrete resurfacing services to completely refresh their outdoor living spaces.

Pool decks naturally experience years of exposure to Florida’s intense sun, heavy rain, pool chemicals, and daily foot traffic. Over time, concrete surfaces can become faded, stained, rough, slippery, or outdated. Rather than replacing perfectly sound concrete, resurfacing offers an attractive and cost-effective solution.

Modern decorative concrete systems can completely transform existing pool decks with:

• Decorative textures
• Natural stone appearances
• Slip-resistant finishes
• Custom color options
• Cooler walking surfaces
• Improved durability

When homeowners combine a new custom waterfall with resurfaced pool decking, the result often feels like an entirely new backyard without the expense of a complete pool replacement.

Jacksonville Backyard Pool Ideas That Increase Enjoyment and Home Value

Today’s homeowners are investing more than ever in outdoor living spaces. Backyards have become extensions of the home, serving as gathering places for family, entertaining guests, and relaxing after long days.

Some of the most popular Jacksonville backyard pool ideas include:

• Custom RicoRock waterfalls
• Decorative pool deck resurfacing
• Fire features
• Outdoor kitchens
• LED landscape lighting
• Artificial turf accents
• Pergolas and covered seating
• Natural stone-inspired concrete finishes

By combining multiple features into one cohesive design, homeowners create outdoor spaces that rival luxury resorts while significantly increasing curb appeal and long-term property value.

Why Pool Deck Resurfacing Is the Perfect Companion to a New Waterfall

Installing a stunning waterfall next to an aging or deteriorated pool deck can create an uneven appearance. Many homeowners choose to update both at the same time to maximize the transformation.

If your concrete is showing signs of wear, our article 7 Signs It’s Time to Refinish Your Pool Deck for Summer explains the most common indicators that resurfacing may be the right solution.

Similarly, our guide on Enjoy Your Outdoor Living Spaces with Pool Deck Resurfacing in Jacksonville, Florida explores how resurfacing can dramatically improve both the appearance and functionality of your outdoor environment.

These improvements not only create a more cohesive backyard design but also improve safety, reduce maintenance, and extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.

Quality Materials Make All the Difference

Every successful outdoor renovation starts with quality materials and experienced craftsmanship. While there are many coating and resurfacing products available, not all systems are created equally.

At Coastal Coating Resurfacing, we believe using premium materials is one of the biggest reasons our projects continue to perform beautifully year after year. Our article Why Product Quality Matters in Concrete Coating and Pool Deck Resurfacing explains why investing in professional-grade materials delivers better long-term value for homeowners.

The same philosophy applies to our custom waterfalls. By partnering with RicoRock, we’re able to deliver products that combine realistic appearance with exceptional structural integrity, giving homeowners confidence that their investment will continue looking beautiful for years.

More Than Just Pool Decks

While many homeowners first discover us through our pool resurfacing and waterfall projects, Coastal Coating Resurfacing offers complete decorative concrete solutions throughout the property.

Many clients choose to continue their home’s transformation with professionally installed Jacksonville garage floor coatings. These durable systems provide a clean, attractive finish that resists stains, chemicals, moisture, and everyday wear while dramatically improving the appearance of one of the hardest-working spaces in the home.

By upgrading multiple surfaces with complementary finishes, homeowners create a consistent look that enhances the overall aesthetic of the property.
