Would we call this a 'swimming pool surround' or is there another term, if I have understood the concept correctly. This is taken from the specification of a mortar used as a covering for various outdoor ground surfaces.

pool deck
This is what I've always heard and seen for all kinds of pools. City pools have rules that say "no running on pool deck"...
The link has some beautiful pictures of pool decks.
