Pool Deck Services
Pool Deck Installation
A fresh surround goes on compacted base, graded away from the pool, reinforced with steel and isolated from the coping by an expansion joint. Broom finish runs $7 to $11 per square foot, so 800 square feet is $5,600 to $8,800.
Pollen & Salt Sealing
Pollen, clay and saltwater crust soak into unsealed concrete. We apply a breathable, slip-resistant sealer after curing; reseal every couple of years.
Stamped Pool Surrounds
Stamped concrete gives the look of flagstone or travertine for less. Stamped and decorative work runs $12 to $20 or more per square foot with a slip-resistant sealer, and can match an adjoining concrete patio.
Deck Drains & Runoff Control
Muddy water washing into the pool means the deck sheds the wrong way. We correct the slope, add slot or channel drains, and a concrete retaining wall upslope can keep yard runoff off.
Cool-Touch Textured Finishes
Smooth gray concrete in July sun burns feet. Lighter colors and textured spray or knockdown finishes stay cooler and add grip when wet.
Deck Repair & Replacement
Cracks from corners, a gap at the coping and sunken panels show the base is moving. Isolated cracks are repaired for $3 to $8 per square foot; widespread settlement means a new deck, with coping and tile protected during demolition.
Building Your Pool Deck
Measure & Design
We measure the pool and yard, check water flow and settle finish, color and drains.
Base & Drains
We remove old concrete, compact the subgrade, place GAB and set drains, pitched away from the pool.
Pour & Texture
We pour in sections with planned joints, set the coping expansion joint and apply the texture.
Cure & Seal
The deck cures before sealing and is back in use within a week; see how long new concrete takes to cure.
Pool Deck Questions in Charlotte
What does a concrete pool deck cost in Charlotte?
Broom finish is $7 to $11 per square foot, stamped $12 to $20 or more. Removing an old deck adds $2 to $6.
Which finish stays coolest?
Light-colored textured finishes. Avoid dark stamped colors in full sun.
Why is my pool deck cracking near the coping?
Usually no expansion joint between deck and coping, so they press against each other as temperatures swing, or settling fill.
Will a new deck change my yard's drainage?
It adds hard surface, so we plan where that water goes under Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services rules.
How do I clean pollen off the deck?
A sealed deck rinses clean with a hose. Unsealed concrete may need a gentle pressure wash.
When is the best time to pour a pool deck?
Spring and fall, so the deck cures before swim season. Summer pours start early.
