Concrete Pool Decks

Experience the Strength, Beauty, and Craftsmanship of a True Custom Concrete Pool Deck

Your pool deck should be more than an ordinary surface—it’s a living part of your backyard experience. At Local Concrete, we design and build durable, slip‑resistant, and visually stunning concrete pool decks that bring form and function together. Every deck we create is made from tested materials mixed precisely for each project, ensuring comfort, performance, and timeless beauty around one of your home’s most active spaces.

Why Choose a Concrete Pool Deck?

A concrete pool deck merges clean style with industry‑leading performance. With modern concrete technology, homeowners can achieve endless combinations of color, texture, and finishes—each one adding comfort and long‑term durability to your outdoor space.

Built with Measurable Strength and Precision

At Local Concrete, we never settle for generic mixes. Each of our pool decks is poured using 4,000 PSI concrete, engineered and verified for load performance and weather resistance. To enhance its structural integrity, we integrate high‑quality fiber reinforcement, reducing the risk of micro‑cracking and increasing flexibility under thermal expansion and contraction.

Instead of one‑size‑fits‑all batches, every mix is custom formulated per project. We analyze deck size, environmental exposure, subgrade composition, and traffic expectations before determining aggregate blends, slump tolerance, and admixtures. This ensures your deck isn’t just thick—it’s scientifically balanced for strength and durability.

Resistant to the Elements

Between constant splashing, UV rays, and chlorine, pool decks face some of the toughest conditions around the home. Concrete outperforms wood, pavers, and composite surfacing with superior compressive strength, lower maintenance, and longer lifespan. Sealed properly, it resists:

• Surface scaling and discoloration
• Water infiltration and chemical penetration
• Fading from UV exposure
• Cracking from freeze‑thaw cycles

Safe, Slip‑Resistant Comfort

Because safety is everything near water, Local Concrete designs every deck for confident footing. Our finishing techniques—broomed, stamped, or textured—create a slip‑resistant surface that balances traction with barefoot comfort. Optional cool‑deck sealers and reflective coatings help reduce surface heat, so you can walk comfortably even on the hottest summer days.

Benefits of a Concrete Pool Deck by Local Concrete

Strength You Can Measure

“4,000 PSI” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a measurable benchmark. By implementing controlled batch mixing and fiber‑reinforced technology, we deliver decks engineered to meet exact load‑bearing expectations verified through mix design testing. This measurable strength translates to greater crack resistance, improved curing consistency, and a smoother finish that lasts decades.

Tailored to Each Backyard

No two properties are alike. The slope, drainage pattern, soil condition, and architectural tone of your home all influence how your deck should be built. Every design from Local Concrete is customized to your layout—form, thickness, reinforcement, finish, and sealer chosen specifically for your site conditions and usage needs.

Sustainable and Cost‑Efficient Over Time

Concrete lasts for generations without the frequent replacement or sealing required by other materials. You save on resurfacing, structural repairs, and repeated upgrades—without compromising beauty or comfort.

Design Versatility Without Limits

Concrete is the ultimate artistic medium. Choose from dozens of textures, color tones, and patterns—from contemporary greys and slates to natural stone and wood imprints. We bring your vision to life through advanced decorative techniques, ensuring your deck reflects your taste and complements your pool’s personality.

Concrete Pool Deck Finish Options

Stamped Concrete

Broom Finish

The classic broom finish emphasizes simplicity and performance. It’s applied by dragging a fine‑bristle broom across the fresh surface before setting, producing uniform traction lines that prevent slipping.

Benefits:

• Economical and functional
• Ideal for minimalist or modern pool styles
• Excellent traction underfoot

Colored and Dyed Finishes

Our color options are fully customizable, achieved through integral color admixtures in the mix or via stains and dyes after curing. Local Concrete’s technicians use UV‑stable pigments designed to retain their hue for years.

Popular tones:

• Warm bone and sand for natural appeal
• Charcoal gray or silver for sleek modern design
• Buff and terracotta for rustic aesthetics

Cool‑Deck or Textured Coatings

For maximum barefoot comfort, we offer acrylic and polymer coatings engineered to reflect heat. These overlays can be applied to new or existing decks, adding color stability and enhancing cooling efficiency without compromising traction.

The Local Concrete Installation Process

A pool deck is only as strong as its foundation and craftsmanship. Local Concrete follows a proven process built on precision and measurable standards.

Step 1: Consultation and Layout Design

We begin with an in‑person consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, pool placement, and outdoor vision. Our specialists survey grading and elevation to plan for proper runoff and structural performance. Together, we finalize design details—finish type, texture, pattern, and edges—ensuring every square foot contributes to your backyard design.

Step 2: Ground Preparation and Base Construction

We excavate and compact a graded gravel base, removing debris and soft soils. The subgrade is established with laser‑level accuracy, ensuring uniform thickness across the entire deck.

At this stage, we also plan drainage control and expansion joint layout to prevent structural stress from temperature shifts.

Step 3: Reinforcement Setup

Unlike many contractors who rely solely on standard wire mesh, Local Concrete uses high‑strength synthetic fiber reinforcement mixed throughout each batch, supplemented by strategically placed rebar around stress points and corners. Fiber reinforcement improves tensile capacity and minimizes shrinkage cracking during cure time.

Step 4: Pouring and Leveling

We pour freshly batched 4,000 PSI concrete mixed specifically to meet project specifications. Slump and moisture ratios are checked on‑site for consistency before placement. The concrete is then screeded, floated, and edged for accurate level and uniform finish.

Step 5: Finishing and Decorative Treatments

Your chosen texture or stamp pattern is applied while the concrete is still workable. Borders, inserts, and contrasting bands can be added for visual definition. When colors are part of the design, we apply them through integral blends, surface stains, or release color systems to create dimensional depth.

Step 6: Curing and Sealing

Proper curing is key to long‑term strength. We protect your new deck during the critical hydration period, controlling moisture and temperature to ensure full cement bonding. Once the concrete has cured, we apply industrial‑grade sealers that enhance color tone and provide UV, water, and chemical protection.

Step 7: Final Inspection and Walkthrough

After the deck fully cures, our team conducts a detailed inspection, confirming finish quality, joint integrity, and slope performance. We walk you through maintenance steps and care guidelines, ensuring your pool deck retains its beauty for decades.

Existing Deck Renovation and Resurfacing

If you already have a pool deck showing signs of age, cracks, or discoloration, there’s often no need to demolish it. Local Concrete offers high‑performance resurfacing and repair options that restore both aesthetics and durability.

Concrete Overlay

A thin overlay (⅛–¼ inch) of polymer‑modified concrete bonds securely over the existing surface. This overlay can be stamped, textured, or colored, recreating the look of new decorative concrete without full replacement.

Stain and Seal Refresh

By re‑coloring and resealing an existing pool deck, we can revive its tone, strengthen surface protection, and extend life span with minimal downtime.

Structural and Crack Repair

Our technicians assess and repair structural issues through epoxy injection, releveling, and expansion‑joint correction—returning your deck to stable, even condition.

Custom Design Integrations

Concrete’s adaptability allows nearly limitless creativity. Whether you envision a modern retreat or a natural oasis, Local Concrete can tailor aesthetics and function to match your outdoor setting.

Design integrations may include:

• Built‑in seating areas or planters
• Fire pits or outdoor fireplaces
• Accent borders contrasting color or texture
• LED lighting flush‑mounted along perimeter joints
• Water features integrated into deck design

Local Concrete approaches each feature as part of the overall design—not an add‑on. This holistic process results in balanced, cohesive outdoor spaces.

Safety and Engineering Standards

A pool environment demands thoughtful engineering. Every deck we build adheres to current residential concrete standards for strength, slope, and drainage.

Key standards applied in every Local Concrete project:

• Minimum 4,000 PSI concrete compressive strength verification
• Controlled expansion joints designed using ASTM‑based guidelines
• Slip‑resistant finishes meeting ADA friction coefficient recommendations
• Slope tolerance between 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot for proper runoff
• Sealer testing for chemical and UV resistance

Our crews treat every build as a permanent addition to your home’s structure—not a cosmetic surface.

Maintenance for Long‑Term Performance

To keep your deck looking and performing at its best, follow these easy steps:

1. Regular Cleaning: Rinse dirt, sunscreen residue, and pool chemicals with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh acids.
2. Resealing: Refreshing the protective sealer every few years keeps colors rich and surface hydrophobic.
3. Inspect Joints: Maintain open joints free of debris to allow for thermal expansion.
4. Prevent Pool Overflow: Direct runoff and splash away from deck edges where possible.
5. Avoid Salt Use: Use only pool‑safe cleaning agents that won’t compromise the sealer.

With proper care, a Local Concrete pool deck offers decades of enjoyment without warping, fading, or structural compromise.
