WHAT A POOL DECK HAS TO DO

Wet feet, bare feet, every day.

A pool deck is the one surface on the property that is wet on purpose. Grip matters more here than anywhere else.

Water also has to go somewhere. We set the slope so splash and rain drain off the deck instead of sitting on it.

We work around existing pools. The old deck comes out, the base gets rebuilt, and new concrete is poured to a level line at the coping.

THE COPING LINE

Where the deck meets the pool.

The pool and the deck move differently. The joint between the deck and the coping lets each move without cracking the other.

A level, even line at the coping is what makes a deck look finished. It gets planned before the pour.

POOL DECK PROJECTS

Four common pool deck jobs.

Deck replacement

The old deck comes out and new concrete goes onto a rebuilt base.

Deck extension

More room for loungers or a table, joined to the deck you keep.

Deck and patio

The pool deck and the patio planned as one surface with a matching finish.

Coping and deck together

New coping and a new deck planned at the same time so the lines agree.

FINISH

Grip when wet, comfort in the sun.

Ask to see finish samples wet. Texture is what keeps a deck from getting slick.

Color matters too. Talk through how the surface feels underfoot on a hot day before you choose.

CONCRETE OR PAVERS

Concrete deck or paver deck?

We build pool decks in poured concrete and in interlocking pavers. Concrete is one continuous surface. Pavers can be lifted and replaced unit by unit.

Ask for both in your estimate. If you are remodeling the pool itself, tell us, so the deck and the pool work get planned together.

BEFORE WE POUR

Photograph, choose, confirm.

Three steps between your first call and a clear scope and price.

01

Photograph the pool area

Snap the deck, the coping, the drains and any spot where water sits.

02

Choose the finish

Look at samples wet, then agree on joints and how the deck meets the coping, the house and the yard.

03

Confirm the full scope

Check that the estimate covers removal, base prep, forming, pouring, finish and cleanup. Ask about warranty coverage before work starts.

Before you begin.

Yes. We install pool decking in poured concrete and in interlocking pavers around existing pools.

It depends on the finish. A textured finish gives grip when the deck is wet. Ask to see samples wet before you choose.

Yes. We work around existing pools. If you also want new coping, tile or plaster, tell us so the work gets planned together.

Yes. Our concrete projects start at $5,000.

OCIP’s published terms cover concrete cracks wider than one eighth of an inch. Hairline cracks are common in concrete and are excluded. Read the full terms on the warranty page and confirm how they apply in your written agreement.
