Why Choose a Concrete Pool Deck?

The Best Choice for Sacramento Swimming Pools

  • Concrete pool decks provide a safe and stable surface around your swimming pool. We apply slip-resistant coatings and textures ensuring traction even in wet conditions. Broom finish, stamped patterns, and exposed aggregate create smooth, even surfaces that protect your family.
  • Well-designed and properly constructed concrete pool decks withstand heavy foot traffic, pool chemicals, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. Count on 30-50 years of service life far exceeding wood decking or lower-quality materials.
  • Concrete is generally more cost-effective than premium paver materials or wood decking. Initial installation costs competitive pricing, while long-term cost savings come from minimal maintenance requirements. The best value in the long run for pool deck construction.
  • Customize your pool deck in terms of color, texture, and pattern. Match your outdoor aesthetic with unlimited design options including stamped stone, decorative concrete, colored accents, and custom borders. Create a functional, attractive poolside environment reflecting your style.
  • Easy to clean non-porous surfaces resist staining. Simple maintenance includes regular cleaning and resealing every 2-3 years. Address minor cracks promptly to maintain appearance and safety. No annual refinishing like wood decks.
  • Light-colored reflective coatings and cool deck treatments keep surfaces cooler under Sacramento’s summer sun, providing barefoot comfort around your pool area.

New Concrete Pool Deck Installation

We build brand new pool decks engineered for strength, safety, and beauty. Our construction process ensures your swimming pool deck becomes the centerpiece of outdoor entertainment.

Professional Installation Includes:

Evaluate layout, grading, and drainage requirements. Mark property lines and pool equipment locations. Excavate to proper depth (typically 4-6 inches plus base). Remove existing surfaces when replacing old decks.

Install 4-6 inches compacted aggregate base achieving 95% density. Ensure proper drainage slope (minimum 1/4 inch per foot) directing water away from pool and structures. Create stable foundation preventing settlement and cracking.

Position #4 rebar grid or welded wire mesh mid-depth for crack control. Install expansion joints around pool perimeter allowing thermal movement. Place isolation joints separating deck from coping and structures.

Pour high-strength concrete (minimum 3,500 PSI for pool decks) resistant to chemicals and weathering. Screed to proper elevations ensuring drainage. Bull float creating smooth, even surface ready for finishing.

Slip-Resistant Finishing:
Apply chosen texture while concrete workable:
Broom Finish – Classic slip-resistant texture, affordable and durable
Stamped Patterns – Stone, slate, tile, or wood plank appearance
Exposed Aggregate – Natural stone exposure for grip and beauty
Knockdown Texture – Spray-applied texture with traction
Cool Deck Coating – Heat-reflective topcoat for barefoot comfort

Controlled curing protecting surface during strength development. Apply chlorine-resistant sealant after cure, creating moisture barrier protecting against pool chemicals, UV exposure, and staining.

Pool Deck Resurfacing & Restoration

Renew worn, cracked, or discolored pool decks without complete replacement. Our resurfacing restores both appearance and safety cost-effectively.

Resurfacing Process:

Surface Preparation:
Pressure wash removing dirt, algae, and chemical residue. Repair cracks using epoxy injection or routing and sealing. Grind high spots and fill low areas creating level substrate. Remove loose or flaking material.

Overlay Application:
Apply polymer-modified overlay (1/4-inch to 1-inch thick) bonding to existing concrete. Choose decorative finish including stamped patterns, knockdown texture, or spray texture. Integrate color throughout overlay for permanent pigmentation.

Texture & Sealing:
Create slip-resistant texture appropriate for pool deck safety. Apply cool-touch coatings reducing heat absorption. Seal with chlorine-resistant topcoat protecting investment. Restore like-new appearance and performance.

Decorative Pool Deck Upgrades

Stamped Concrete Patterns:
Professional stamping replicates natural materials including flagstone, slate, travertine, brick, and custom tile patterns. Color hardeners create rich, durable pigmentation. Antiquing release agents add dimensional depth and realism.

Colored Concrete:
Integral colors mixed throughout concrete ensure permanent, fade-resistant pigmentation. Surface-applied color hardeners provide enhanced durability. Custom color matching coordinates with home exterior, landscaping, and pool finish.

Decorative Borders & Bands:
Contrasting color bands define pool perimeter. Sawcut geometric patterns add visual interest. Decorative inlays using complementary colors or materials. Custom scoring creating unique designs.

Exposed Aggregate:
Reveal embedded decorative stones (river rock, pea gravel, crushed granite, colored glass) creating natural beauty with superior slip resistance. Seeded aggregate allows custom stone selection and placement.

Integrated Features:

  • Lighting – Embedded LED strips, fiber optics, or step lights
  • Drainage – Channel drains, slot drains, or French drains
  • Coping Integration – Coordinated colors and textures
  • Seating Walls – Built-in concrete benches with decorative caps
  • Planters – Integrated landscape features with drainage

Safety & Performance

Our pool decks exceed safety expectations:

  • Drainage Design: Proper sloping and drains prevent standing water.
  • Slip Resistance: Broom, textured, or aggregate finishes with non-slip additives.
  • Cool Deck Coatings: Reflective sealants reduce heat absorption for barefoot comfort.
  • Durability: Reinforced concrete and industrial-grade sealants resist chlorine and sun damage.

Step-by-Step Concrete Pool Deck Installation Process

Keep Your Pool Deck Looking Great

  • Sweep or hose debris weekly. Pressure wash (maximum 2,500 PSI) annually removing dirt and algae. Use mild detergent for stains. Avoid harsh chemicals damaging sealer.
  • Apply initial sealer after 28-day cure. Reapply chlorine-resistant sealer every 2-3 years. Topical sealers may require annual reapplication. Penetrating sealers last longer but offer less gloss.
  • Maintain proper pool chemistry preventing deck damage. Avoid excessive chlorine exposure. Rinse splashed chemicals promptly. Use deck-safe cleaning products.
  • Cover pool reducing chemical exposure. Keep deck clear of leaves and debris. Avoid deicing salts near pool deck. Address drainage preventing freeze-thaw damage.
  • Fill small cracks promptly preventing expansion. Repair spalling or scaling immediately. Touch up worn sealer protecting concrete. Professional inspection every 5 years.
