Concrete Pool Deck Installation
Your pool deck has a tough job. Wet feet, splashing chemicals, hot summer sun and freezing winters, all on the same slab. Golden Paw Concrete works as pool deck contractors for Indianapolis homeowners who want a deck that's safe to walk on and looks as good as the water. Pool decks are one of our concrete services, and we plan each one around the pool, the yard and how your family uses the space.
Custom Concrete Pool Deck Contractors
The shape, the coping, the slope of the yard and the equipment pad all affect how a deck should be built. As a pool deck company, we start with an in-person visit. Then we design a custom deck that slopes away from the pool and house, with room for loungers and a finish that works for bare feet.
Pool Deck Projects We Handle
New Pool Decks
Concrete decks around a newly installed pool, sized for loungers, umbrellas and foot traffic.
Pool Deck Replacement
Tearing out a cracked, heaved or worn deck and pouring a new one around your existing pool.
Deck Extensions
Adding room for a dining area, outdoor kitchen space or a path to the house.
Steps and Walks to the Pool
Concrete steps and walkways that connect the deck to the patio, gate or back door.
Pool Deck Replacement Around an Existing Pool
Older pool decks crack, sink at the edges or flake from chlorine and freeze-thaw. Pool deck replacement means careful removal near the coping, a compacted base, and a new slab that drains away from the pool. Your written, itemized scope lists exactly where the new deck starts and stops.
Not every worn deck needs a full tear-out. Some damage can be handled with concrete pool deck repair instead. If you've been searching for pool deck resurfacing, ask us about resurfacing vs. replacement at your consultation, and we'll give you an honest read on what your deck needs.
Slip-Resistant Finishes for Bare Feet
Finish matters more on a pool deck than anywhere else. A broom finish gives good grip on wet concrete. Exposed aggregate is a popular pool choice for its textured, stone surface. Stamped concrete can mimic flagstone or travertine, and a textured pattern helps with grip. Colored concrete in lighter tones helps the deck stay cooler in July.
Pool Decks for Homes and Communities
Homeowners can see other projects that pair well with a new deck on our residential concrete page. Neighborhood associations with a community pool can see how we work on HOA concrete projects.
How a Pool Deck Project Works
- 1Book a consultation. We visit the pool, look at the coping, drainage and equipment, and talk finishes.
- 2Review and approve a written, itemized estimate. If financing helps, we go over it next.
- 3A 50% deposit reserves your date, and we apply for any permits the project needs.
- 4We prepare the base, set forms, pour and finish the deck.
- 5We walk the finished deck with you. The remaining 50% is due at completion.
Cost, Financing and Timing
Pool deck cost depends on the deck's size and shape, whether an old deck comes out, access around the pool and the finish you choose. Our concrete cost guide explains these cost drivers. Financing is available: 0% financing for 12 months, subject to credit approval. We pour March through November, so plan ahead if you want the deck ready before swim season.
Questions & Answers
Pool Deck Questions
Have another question? Visit our FAQ page or call or text (317) 672-0966.
What is the least slippery finish for a pool deck?
Textured finishes give the best grip when wet. Broom and exposed aggregate are both good choices, and stamped concrete with a textured pattern works well too. Our post on concrete pool decks in Indianapolis compares finishes for bare feet.
Which pool deck finish stays cooler?
Lighter colors reflect more sunlight, so they stay cooler than dark concrete on a hot afternoon. We'll bring samples so you can see them in sunlight.
Can you work around my pool coping?
The coping and the joint between it and the deck need careful planning. We look at the coping at the consultation and spell out in your written scope where the new concrete meets it.
When is the best time to replace a pool deck?
We pour March through November, so early spring before the pool opens or fall after it closes are common windows. Book early if you want the deck ready for summer. Our post on pool deck replacement in Plainfield covers timing around swim season.
How do I care for a concrete pool deck with pool chemicals?
Rinse off chlorine and salt water splashes regularly, keep the drains clear, and avoid harsh de-icers on the deck in winter. Decorative decks are usually sealed and resealed every few years. Our guide to caring for new concrete covers the first weeks after the pour.
