Safety Meets Beauty Around Your Pool

Pool decks require special attention to safety, drainage, and comfort. A properly designed deck prevents slip hazards, manages water runoff, and provides a comfortable surface for bare feet in Alabama's summer heat.

We engineer pool decks with textured finishes for traction, gentle slopes for drainage, and expansion joints that prevent cracking. Our decorative options transform functional surfaces into stunning focal points for your outdoor space.

Beautiful pool deck with decorative finish

Slip-Resistant Texture

We apply broom finish, knockdown texture, or stamped patterns that provide excellent traction when wet. Safety texture prevents slips and falls without being rough or uncomfortable on bare feet.

Proper Drainage Design

We slope pool decks away from your home and incorporate drains or drainage channels to manage splash water and rain. This prevents standing water, reduces slip hazards, and protects surrounding structures.

Cool-Deck Coatings

Optional cool-deck overlay reduces surface heat absorption by up to 30%, making your pool deck comfortable barefoot even in direct summer sun. Available in multiple colors to complement your pool design.

Decorative Options

Choose from stamped stone patterns, acid staining, colored concrete, or exposed aggregate finishes. These decorative techniques add visual appeal while maintaining the safety and durability you need.

Why Choose Our Pool Deck Service?

Pool decks aren't just patios near water—they require specific engineering for constant moisture exposure, safety considerations, and comfort in direct sun. We understand these unique demands and build accordingly with proper vapor barriers, reinforcement, and expansion joint placement.

We also know that pool decks must balance safety with aesthetics. Our textured finishes provide excellent wet-surface traction without the harsh roughness of overly aggressive textures. You get safety that's also comfortable for lounging and playing.

Our Pool Deck Installation Process

1. Design and Planning

We assess your pool area, discuss desired width, shape, and decorative options. We plan drainage slopes, expansion joint locations, and finish selections that complement your landscape and home architecture.

2. Excavation and Base Prep

We excavate to proper depth and grade for drainage away from pool and structures. A compacted gravel base provides stability and drainage beneath your deck, preventing settling and water-related damage.

3. Forms and Reinforcement

We set curved or straight forms to match your pool shape and install steel reinforcement. Expansion joints are planned at intervals and around pool coping to allow for temperature movement without cracking.

4. Concrete Pour and Texture

We pour quality concrete mix and work it to proper slope and level. Your chosen texture—broom, knockdown, or stamped—is applied while concrete is workable. For decorative finishes, we add color or stain treatments.

5. Sealing and Final Touches

After curing, we apply sealer to protect against chlorine, water damage, and UV exposure. Cool-deck coatings or decorative overlays are applied if selected. Your deck is ready for use in 7-10 days.

Pool Deck FAQs

How do you prevent pool decks from getting too hot?
Cool-deck overlay coatings reduce heat absorption by reflecting sunlight and using special aggregates. Light-colored concrete also stays cooler than dark surfaces. These options keep your deck comfortable barefoot even in direct sun.
Is concrete slippery when wet around pools?
Not when properly textured. We apply slip-resistant finishes like broom texture, knockdown, or stamped patterns that provide excellent traction when wet. These textures are effective yet still comfortable on bare feet.
How wide should a pool deck be?
Minimum recommended width is 4 feet for walking access. For lounging and furniture, 8-12 feet provides comfortable space. We help you determine optimal width based on your pool size, yard space, and intended use.
Can you match my existing pool coping?
Yes! We offer stamped patterns and staining that can coordinate with stone, brick, or travertine coping. Our decorative options allow you to create a cohesive look that ties your deck and pool together beautifully.
