Concrete Pool Decks

Your pool deck takes a beating from sun, water, and foot traffic. You need a surface that handles all of it without constant repairs. Concrete pool decks deliver durability, safety, and style at a price that makes sense.

Wood decks rot in our humid Florida climate. Pavers shift and grow weeds between the cracks. Tile gets slippery when wet and cracks from temperature changes. Concrete solves all these problems. It stays solid, resists water damage, and lasts decades with minimal care. Plus, modern concrete finishes give you more design options than ever before.

We specialize in pool deck concrete in Hobe Sound. We understand the specific challenges of our climate and design decks that thrive here. Proper drainage, correct slope, and smart material choices prevent common problems like pooling water, cracking from heat, and slippery surfaces. Your pool deck should make your backyard better, not create headaches.

Plain concrete absorbs heat and burns bare feet on hot days. We use special finishes that reflect heat and stay comfortable to walk on. Here are your best options:

• Brushed or broom finish for maximum slip resistance
• Stamped concrete that looks like natural stone or pavers
• Exposed aggregate with a textured, pebbled surface
• Cool deck coating that reflects sunlight and stays cooler
• Spray texture for custom patterns and grip

Texture matters around pools. Smooth concrete becomes dangerous when wet. We always add slip-resistant texture to your deck surface. It keeps everyone safe without looking industrial or ugly. The right texture blends safety with beauty.

Light colors work best for pool decks. They reflect heat instead of absorbing it. We recommend cream, tan, or light gray tones. You can also choose stamped patterns that mimic natural stone while keeping surfaces cooler. Many of our Hobe Sound customers love the travertine and flagstone patterns.

We start by evaluating your pool area. How much deck space do you need? What is the best layout for your yard? Where should we add drainage? We measure everything, discuss your vision, and create a detailed plan. You see exactly what you are getting before we break ground.

Next, we prepare the ground. We excavate to the right depth, compact the soil, and add a gravel base for drainage. Pool decks need excellent drainage to prevent water from sitting against your pool structure. We slope the deck slightly away from the pool and add drains where needed. This prevents puddles and extends the life of your deck.

Then we build forms and pour the concrete. We use a special mix designed for outdoor exposure in Florida. It resists cracking from heat cycles and holds up to chlorine and pool chemicals. After pouring, we apply your chosen finish while the concrete is still workable. Once it cures, you have a beautiful pool deck ready for years of enjoyment. The whole process usually takes 3 to 5 days from start to finish. Similar to our patio work, we focus on quality at every step.
