The Perfect Surface for Your Pool Area

Your pool deck is where your family spends summer days relaxing, playing, and entertaining. It needs to be safe, comfortable, and attractive. A well-designed concrete pool deck provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that stays cool and resists the constant exposure to water and chemicals.

Concrete is the most popular choice for pool decks in Southern California for good reasons. It handles our hot summers better than wood, which warps and splinters. It is more affordable than natural stone or pavers. And it can be finished in dozens of ways to match your style and budget.

We install pool decks throughout Culver City for new pool construction and pool renovations. Whether you want a simple brushed finish or elaborate decorative concrete, we build pool decks that enhance your outdoor living space and stand up to years of heavy use.

Design Options for Pool Decks

Pool deck design involves more than just looks. The surface needs to provide good traction when wet, stay reasonably cool in direct sun, and drain water away from the pool. We help you choose finishes and features that balance aesthetics with safety and comfort.

Popular pool deck finishes

  • Broom finish provides excellent slip resistance and is the most affordable option
  • Exposed aggregate reveals decorative stones and creates natural texture
  • Stamped concrete mimics flagstone, slate, or travertine at lower cost
  • Spray deck texture coating adds color and slip resistance to existing concrete
  • Cool deck surfaces reflect heat and stay comfortable for bare feet

Color is an important consideration for pool decks. Light colors stay cooler in the sun, which is important when people are walking barefoot. Tan, beige, and light gray are popular choices. We can add integral color or apply stains to achieve the look you want.

If you want a high-end look, we offer stamped concrete pool decks that look like natural stone. This gives you the appearance of expensive materials at a fraction of the cost. We can also add borders, create multiple levels, or integrate built-in steps for a custom look.

Building Pool Decks the Right Way

Pool decks face unique challenges. They are constantly exposed to splashed pool water containing chemicals. They get saturated when people climb out of the pool. They need to drain properly so water flows away from the pool, not back into it. We understand these requirements and build accordingly.

Our pool deck installation process

First, we plan the drainage. Pool decks should slope away from the pool at about 1/4 inch per foot. This directs water to drainage areas and prevents pooling. We also make sure water does not drain toward your house or into landscaping where it is not wanted.

Next, we prepare the base. Pool decks experience a lot of foot traffic and furniture weight, so the base must be solid. We excavate, compact the soil, and add a gravel base for stability and drainage. We install reinforcement to prevent cracking.

When we pour the concrete, we work carefully around the pool coping and any equipment or features. We create control joints to manage cracking. Then we apply your chosen finish and make sure the surface has adequate texture for safety.

After the concrete cures, we apply a sealer. Pool deck sealer protects the concrete from water and chemical damage. It also enhances the color and makes the surface easier to clean. Sealer should be reapplied every 2 to 3 years to maintain protection.
