Honestly my favorite look is a formal pool with no pool deck!

However, it takes alot of guts to recommened it to a customer! Its alot cheaper to plant grass than do a stone deck!

I am guessing the pool is gunite. What i would do it get a saw with a good diamound blade. You might want to get one with a 16in blade. Cut the slab all the way through where you are going to remove.

If you can't get all the way through, jack hammer in the saw cut. Try your best to cut the slab into 2x2 squares or something you can easily move with a skid steer or mini x. I'd do whatever possible to limit jack hammer and to avoid a big pile of ruble.

You may want to make your first cut a foot back from your from where you acctually need to cut it. This will help advoid damaging the section of slab you are saving. If you get what i am saying.
