Concrete Pool Decks

Why Concrete Is the Best Material for Pool Decks

Concrete pool decks are durable, affordable, and safe. They handle constant water exposure without rotting or breaking down like wood. In McAllen, where pools get heavy use year-round, concrete stands up to heat, chlorine, and foot traffic better than any other material. You will not need to replace boards, restain surfaces, or worry about splinters.

Safety is a top priority around pools. Concrete can be finished with textures that prevent slipping when wet. We apply broom finishes, stamped patterns, or cool deck coatings that give you traction without being rough on bare feet. Proper slope and drainage keep water from pooling, which reduces slip hazards and keeps your deck cleaner.

Concrete pool decks also offer endless design options. You can go with simple, clean finishes or decorative stamped patterns that mimic stone, tile, or brick. Color additives let you match your home or create a unique look. Whether you want a modern, minimalist deck or a resort-style oasis, we build it to your exact specifications.

If you are building a new pool or replacing an old deck, concrete is the smart choice. It adds value to your home and creates a beautiful outdoor space for your family. Contact us today to discuss your project and get a free quote.

How We Install Your Pool Deck

Installing a pool deck requires careful planning and execution. The deck must slope away from the pool for proper drainage, and the surface must be level enough to avoid trip hazards. We start every job with a site assessment where we measure the area, check the soil, and plan the layout.

Next, we excavate and prepare the base. A solid foundation prevents cracking and settling. We compact the soil, add a gravel base, and install forms to shape the concrete. Reinforcement like rebar or wire mesh is placed inside the forms to strengthen the deck. This step is critical for long-term durability.

What to Expect on Pour Day

• Fresh concrete is poured and leveled to the correct slope
• We apply your chosen finish while the concrete is still workable
• Edges are tooled for a clean, professional appearance
• Control joints are cut to prevent random cracking
• The surface is protected during the curing process

After the pour, we let the concrete cure for several days before you can use it. Proper curing is essential for strength and longevity. Once cured, your deck is ready to handle years of pool parties, barbecues, and everyday use. We clean up the site and leave your backyard looking better than before.
