Concrete Pool Decks

Surround your pool with elegance

Upgrade Your Pool

Whether your existing pool needs an upgrade or you are installing a brand new pool, there are many things to consider, such as the size, the shape, and of course, what type of pool deck you want to install. Your pool deck is one of the main focal points of your backyard, so it’s essential to choose one that you’ll love for years to come. One of the best options available is a modern concrete pool deck.

Benefits of A Concrete Pool Deck

Durability

Concrete pool decks are by far the most durable option available on the market. A professionally installed concrete pool deck can last a lifetime without needing to be replaced.

In contrast, other pool deck options might need to be replaced several times over the course of a few decades due to rain, snow, and other environmental factors. In other words, a concrete pool deck is an excellent investment that you’ll likely only need to make once.

Cost Effective

It’s possible to mimic almost any other material by using concrete, so if you have your heart set on a stonework pool deck but don’t have a massive budget, you can still get the look and feel that you’re dreaming of by using concrete. Concrete is one of the most cost effective building materials and one of the most durable of them all.

Types of Concrete Pool Decks

Types of Concrete Pool Decks

Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete is durable and easy to clean and maintain. It is a great choice when you want a pool deck that resembles brick, flagstone, or natural slate. Because of its versatility in color and style, Stamped Concrete Pool Decks are a top choice for tying your entire landscape together.

Colored Concrete

Coloring concrete with chemical stains or dry-shake hardeners is an increasingly popular and highly effective method for transforming your concrete pool deck into whatever you want it to be. Coloring your concrete pool deck also allows you to design your backyard without being limited in terms of the colors you can use for your other exterior features. Generally speaking, lighter colors work best as they repel the sun’s harsh UV rays, keeping the surface of your pool deck cooler during the hot summer months.

Stenciled Concrete

Stenciling is an excellent alternative to stamped concrete that also allows for versatility and design flexibility. Stamped concrete uses rubber stamps to generate the texture of the pool deck, whereas stenciled concrete takes advantage of paper stencils to create stone or brick patterns. When used in tandem with a dry-shake hardener, stenciled concrete pool decks can mimic the look of having individual bricks, or mortared stones, which would cost a fortune to install if you weren’t using stenciled concrete.

Exposed Aggregate

When you expose the aggregate in concrete, the result is a finish that resembles a myriad of pebbles. This not only looks great but also makes the floor slip resistant for a long time. Exposed aggregate comes in a variety of colors and different sizes. If you choose this option, you’ll be able to design your backyard however you want without being hindered or restricted in the colors used in your other outdoor features. One increasingly popular and stunning option is to use exposed aggregate in tandem with smooth concrete to create a pool deck that features both visual and textural contrast.

Rock Salt Concrete

Using a rock salt finish is an excellent, cost effective, and simple method for adding different textures and non-slip features to your concrete pool deck. Tiny grains of rock salt are pressed into freshly poured concrete and then flattened with a roller before being washed away. The finished product is a gorgeous, speckled pattern on the surface of the concrete that resembles naturally weathered rock features.

Brushed Concrete

Brushing or brooming your concrete pool deck is another way of adding an element of slip resistance, which is important to have around your pool. Although brooming is a relatively modest design choice, it looks great when used in tandem with colored stains and dyes, allowing you to add an element of safety while still ensuring that your pool deck looks fantastic.
