Concrete Pool Decks

When you are choosing a material for your pool deck, you want something that handles water, sun, and foot traffic without breaking down. Concrete checks all these boxes and more. It is durable, affordable, and gives you options that other materials cannot match.

Wood decks around pools rot and warp from constant moisture. Pavers can shift and create uneven surfaces where people trip. Concrete stays put. It forms a solid, continuous surface that drains properly and does not create gaps or spaces where debris collects. You can walk barefoot without worrying about splinters or sharp edges.

In Vero Beach, the sun beats down hard in the summer. Dark surfaces get hot enough to burn your feet. Concrete stays cooler than most other materials, especially when you choose a lighter color or a special cool-deck coating. This makes your pool area more comfortable and usable throughout the day.

Maintenance is another big advantage. Concrete pool decks need very little upkeep. You sweep them off, hose them down, and reseal them every few years. That is it. No staining wood, no replacing broken pavers, no dealing with algae growing between cracks. You spend more time enjoying your pool and less time maintaining the area around it.

Plain gray concrete is just one option. We offer a variety of finishes and styles that let you create a pool deck that matches your vision. Stamped concrete is one of the most popular choices. It lets you get the look of natural stone, slate, or even wood planks without the high cost or maintenance issues.

Exposed aggregate is another great option for pool decks. This finish reveals the small stones in the concrete mix, creating a textured surface that looks natural and provides excellent traction when wet. It also stays cooler than smooth concrete, which is a big plus around pools.

Color is an important part of your pool deck design. Lighter shades reflect heat and stay cooler. Earth tones like tan, beige, and light gray are popular because they blend with natural surroundings and do not show dirt as much. We can also create multi-color patterns that add depth and character to your outdoor space.

Safety is always a priority. We make sure every pool deck has a non-slip finish. This is not negotiable. Wet concrete can be slippery, so we add texture through brushing, stamping, or special coatings. The result is a surface that provides grip even when soaking wet from splashing or rain.

Building a pool deck requires careful planning and execution. We start by measuring the area and discussing your design preferences. You tell us what you want, and we make sure it fits your budget and timeline. We also check local codes to ensure everything meets requirements for pool deck construction.

Next, we prepare the base. The ground around your pool needs to be level and compacted. We remove any grass, roots, or debris. Then we add a layer of gravel or crushed stone that drains well. This base prevents water from pooling under your deck and causing problems later.

We set up forms that define the shape and size of your deck. This is where your design comes to life. We can create curved edges, multiple levels, or custom shapes that work with your pool and yard. Like our patio work, we pay close attention to drainage so water flows away from your pool and home.

Once the forms are ready, we pour the concrete. We add reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh to make the deck stronger and prevent cracking. After the pour, we apply your chosen finish. This could be stamping, staining, or texturing. Finally, we let the concrete cure properly. This takes several days, but it is critical for long term durability. We seal the surface to protect it from stains, chemicals, and weather.
