Concrete Pool Decks

Create the Perfect Pool Surround

Your pool deck is more than just a walkway around the water. It is where you lounge, entertain, and enjoy your backyard. It needs to be safe, comfortable, and attractive. A well-designed pool deck adds value to your home and makes your pool area more functional and inviting.

We install pool decks for homes throughout Quincy and Adams County. Whether you are building a new pool or replacing an old deck, we can design and pour a surface that meets your needs. Concrete is one of the best materials for pool decks because it is durable, versatile, and can be customized to match any style. It also stays cooler than pavers or wood in direct sunlight.

A pool deck has unique requirements. It needs to handle constant moisture, resist slipping when wet, and drain water away from the pool. We design and build pool decks that are safe, functional, and built to last through years of pool parties and daily use.

Pool Deck Design and Finish Options

Concrete pool decks are not just plain gray slabs. Modern concrete offers a range of finishes and styles that can transform your pool area. Here are the most popular options we install.

Stamped Concrete Pool Decks

Stamped concrete gives you the look of natural stone, slate, or tile without the cost or maintenance. We use textured stamps and color to create a custom surface that matches your home and landscape. Stamped pool decks are slip-resistant and can include built-in texture for added safety. Popular patterns include flagstone, cobblestone, and ashlar slate.

Cool Deck and Textured Finishes

Pool decks get hot in the summer sun, especially dark-colored surfaces. Cool deck coatings reflect heat and stay cooler underfoot. These coatings are applied over the concrete and come in various colors and textures. They provide excellent traction and make the deck more comfortable to walk on barefoot. Textured finishes like knockdown or spray textures also add grip and visual interest.

Exposed Aggregate

Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stones in the concrete mix, creating a textured, slip-resistant surface. It is durable, attractive, and provides excellent traction when wet. Exposed aggregate stays cooler than smooth concrete and comes in a variety of stone colors and sizes. This finish works especially well around pools because it does not get slippery.

Stained and Colored Concrete

We can add color to your pool deck with integral color mixed into the concrete or stains applied after curing. Stained concrete has a rich, natural look that adds depth and character. You can choose earth tones to blend with your landscape or bolder colors to make a statement. Colored concrete also helps hide minor stains and discoloration over time.

If you are also planning patio work or walkways, we can coordinate everything to create a cohesive outdoor space. Your pool deck can blend seamlessly with the rest of your backyard.

Building a Pool Deck That Lasts

Pool decks face unique challenges. They are constantly exposed to water, sun, and chemicals from the pool. They also need to meet safety codes and provide proper drainage. Here is how we build pool decks that handle these demands.

• Proper Slope and Drainage: We grade the deck so water drains away from the pool and your home. Standing water is a safety hazard and can damage the concrete over time.
• Slip-Resistant Finish: Safety is the top priority around a pool. We use textured finishes that provide traction even when the surface is wet.
• Expansion Joints: Pool decks need expansion joints to allow for movement as the concrete expands and contracts with temperature changes. These joints prevent cracking and help the deck last longer.
• Chemical-Resistant Sealers: We apply sealers that protect the concrete from chlorine and other pool chemicals. Sealing also makes the deck easier to clean and helps prevent stains.
• Code Compliance: Pool decks need to meet local building codes for safety barriers, walkway widths, and slip resistance. We handle all the requirements so your deck passes inspection.

We also coordinate with pool installers and landscapers to make sure your deck integrates smoothly with the rest of your backyard. If you are installing a new pool, we can time the deck pour to fit your construction schedule.

Maintenance is straightforward. Rinse the deck regularly, sweep away debris, and reseal every few years. With proper care, your concrete pool deck will look great and stay safe for decades.
