Can you fix the old pool deck or pour new?
It usually comes down to what's under the slab. Surface wear can often be handled, but a deck that's sinking or tilting toward the house has a base problem a patch won't reach.
A repair is enough when:
- The slab is still level
- Cracks are thin and few
- Water drains off the way it should
- Only the edge joint has failed
- The surface is worn but solid
A new deck makes sense when:
- Sections have sunk or heaved
- Water runs toward the house or pool
- Cracks keep spreading
- The top is flaking across the deck
- You want a new finish or layout
How your pool deck gets built
You call or send the form
Tell us about your pool and the deck you're picturing, by phone or the form, and we'll set a time for me to come look.
A visit on the calendar
I walk the job with you
I come out myself, look at the ground, the coping, drains and pipes, and talk through the finish you want, so nothing surprises us later.
A plan for the deck
Written estimate and permits
After the walk-through you get the estimate in writing. If the job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and start once it's issued.
A written estimate
Prep and pour day
Drains, pipes and joints are settled before we form anything, and on pour day our crew and I have it all set up and checked before the truck arrives.

Finishing, curing and clean-up
The concrete sets the schedule from here, so we finish it, protect it while it cures, the slow hardening that gives it strength, and clean up before we go.

What a concrete pool deck job includes
Digging out and base
We dig down to firm subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, then pack a stone base and lay wire mesh over it.
Drains, skimmers and slope
We plan the slope around skimmers, drains and pipes so water runs away from the house and stays out of the pool.
The joint at the coping
We leave a flexible expansion joint where the deck meets the coping, so the deck can move without pressing on the pool.
Control joints
We saw-cut control joints, shallow grooves that tell the slab where to crack as it shrinks, so cracks stay in straight lines.
A finish that grips
We finish the surface with a texture that holds under wet, bare feet, from a simple broom finish to stamped patterns.
Steps and level changes
If the yard steps down to the pool, we can build concrete steps that tie into the deck.
What sets the price of a pool deck?
Size comes first, then the shape and how much digging and base work the ground needs before we can pour. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or exposed aggregate. Working around skimmers, drains, steps and an equipment pad adds time, and so does tearing out an old deck. The schedule mostly turns on the weather and the cure, because I'd rather move a pour date than rush one into bad weather.
When the budget gets tight, people want to cut the base, because nobody sees it once the deck is poured. I'd cut the fancy finish first. A deck on a thin, raked base settles and cracks no matter how nice the top looks. I'll walk it with you and put your number in writing.

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Rock Springs?
Across the US, an installed broom-finished concrete pool deck usually costs about $5 to $13 per square foot. That's the going rate nationally, not our price, and a fancier finish, tear-out or a tricky layout moves it. Your own figure comes in writing after I walk the job.
Which pool deck finish grips best for wet, bare feet?
A finish with real slip resistance grips best, whatever style you pick, because the deck will be wet and walked barefoot. Broom, textured, exposed aggregate, coated, overlay and decorative finishes all differ in grip and in how hot they get, and very dark finishes can get uncomfortable in sun. I'll help you weigh them when I come out.
What is the best way to keep a concrete pool deck from cracking in winter?
Pour it with air-entrained concrete, a mix full of tiny air bubbles that give freezing water room to expand instead of cracking the slab. It resists breaking down when it freezes soaked and limits scaling from ice-melt chemicals, so ask whether any mix you're quoted includes it.
Why does a pool deck need an expansion joint at the coping?
Without one, summer heat pushes the deck into the coping and can crack the pool shell. Check that any quote you get names this joint. Room to move at the pool edge is one of the first things I plan on a deck.
How do I keep a stamped concrete pool deck looking new?
Reseal it every 2 to 3 years, which keeps the color and the stamped texture, and plan for that in your budget. Rinse pool chemical spills off the splash zones, keep the sealer up as its maker directs and keep the drains working, especially with a saltwater pool, since salt can affect the steel in the slab and metal fixtures.
How long does a new concrete pool deck have to cure before sealing?
One sealer maker's instructions say new concrete should cure for 30 days before any coating goes on. If you want an anti-slip sealer, plan on it as a separate visit after that wait.
