Concrete Pool Decks
We build beautiful, slip resistant concrete pool decks that make your backyard the place to be.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Pool Deck
A pool deck is more than just a place to walk around your pool. It is where you relax, entertain, and enjoy summer days with family and friends. Concrete is the best material for pool decks because it is durable, affordable, and versatile. You can customize the look with colors, textures, and patterns that match your style.
Unlike wood, concrete will not rot, warp, or splinter. Unlike pavers, it does not have joints where weeds can grow or where water can wash away the base. Concrete pool decks handle heavy traffic, UV rays, and pool chemicals without breaking down. When installed correctly, a concrete pool deck can last 30 years or more.

Design Options for Your Pool Deck
Your pool deck should look great and function well. We offer a variety of finishes and styles so you can create the perfect outdoor space. Here are some of the most popular options.
Brushed or Broom Finish
This is the most common and affordable option. We use a broom to create a textured surface that provides good traction when wet. Brushed concrete is simple, clean, and functional. It works well if you want a classic look without extra cost.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete gives you the look of natural stone, tile, or pavers at a fraction of the cost. We press patterns into the concrete before it hardens, creating realistic textures and designs. You can choose from dozens of patterns and colors. Stamped decorative concrete is a great way to add visual interest to your pool area.
Exposed Aggregate
Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stones in the concrete mix. This creates a textured, slip resistant surface that is both beautiful and safe. It is also very durable and hides stains well. Exposed aggregate is ideal for pool decks because it stays cooler than smooth concrete in the sun.
Stained or Colored Concrete
If you want to add color without changing the texture, staining is a good option. We can apply acid stains or water based stains to create earthy tones or bold colors. Integral color can also be mixed into the concrete before it is poured. Colored concrete blends well with landscaping and gives your pool area a custom look. We also build concrete patios that can connect seamlessly with your pool deck.
How We Install Your Pool Deck
Installing a pool deck requires careful planning and execution. We handle every step of the process so you get a deck that looks great and lasts for decades.
Site Preparation
We start by grading the area around your pool to ensure proper drainage. Water should flow away from the pool and your home, not toward it. We remove any old decking, excavate to the correct depth, and compact the soil. Then we add a gravel base for stability and drainage.
Forming and Reinforcement
We build forms to shape the deck and control the thickness of the concrete. We install rebar or wire mesh to reinforce the slab and prevent cracking. If your deck has curves or custom shapes, we create forms that match your design.
Pouring and Finishing
Once everything is ready, we pour the concrete and work it into place. We smooth the surface, add the finish you chose, and create control joints to manage cracking. For stamped or decorative finishes, we apply the patterns and colors before the concrete fully hardens.
Curing and Sealing
After the pour, we let the concrete cure for several days. Proper curing is critical for strength and durability. Once the concrete is fully cured, we apply a sealer to protect the surface from stains, moisture, and UV damage. Sealing also makes the deck easier to clean and maintain.
