Concrete Pool Decks in Casa Grande, AZ

Pool Deck Concrete for Bare Feet and Desert Sun

A pool gets used hard in Casa Grande, and the deck around it takes the wear. It is walked on wet, splashed with treated water and left in full sun from spring into fall. Concrete pool decks handle that well when they are laid out and finished for it.

At Casa Grande Concrete Works, pool deck work covers new decks around a new or existing pool, extra deck area for chairs and tables, and older decks whose surface has worn, cracked or settled.

A deck is more than a border around the water. It decides where people walk, where furniture sits and where rain and splash-out go. Getting those right at the start is what separates a deck you enjoy from one you put up with.

Concrete Pool Deck Services

Whether the pool is going in this year or has been there since the house was built, these are the jobs we take on.

New Pool Decks

A new deck is planned with the pool builder’s layout in hand. The slab is sloped so water runs away from the pool and the house, jointed so movement has somewhere to go, and finished with a surface that gives wet feet some grip.

Deck Extensions and Seating Areas

Many pools are built with a narrow band of deck and little room to sit. Added concrete on one side makes space for loungers, a table or a shade structure. An extension can also connect the pool to a concrete patio so the backyard works as one space. Matching the height and slope of the existing deck matters more than matching its color, which new concrete rarely does.

Pool Deck Resurfacing

Older Arizona decks often have a textured topping, widely known as cool deck, that wears thin, stains or peels with age. When the slab underneath is sound, the surface can be renewed with a fresh coating or overlay instead of breaking out the deck.

Pool Deck Repair and Leveling

Cracks, lifted joints and slabs that have sunk toward or away from the pool are common after years of wet and dry cycles. Depending on the cause, the fix may be concrete repair, lifting the settled slab or replacing a section.

Decorative Pool Deck Finishes

Color, exposed aggregate and stamped concrete all work around a pool. The finish needs enough texture to walk on wet, so pattern and sealer are chosen with that in mind.

What Makes a Pool Deck Work in Casa Grande

Drainage — A deck should shed water, not hold it. Slope and drains are set so splash-out and monsoon rain move off the surface and away from the pool shell and the house. Standing water on a deck leaves stains and shortens the life of any coating.

Heat underfoot — With summer highs well over 100 degrees, a dark, dense surface can be too hot to cross barefoot. Light colors and textured or coated finishes stay more comfortable. Shade over part of the deck helps more than any finish.

Grip — Smooth troweled concrete is slick when wet. Broom, salt and textured finishes give better footing, and a sealer on decorative work can carry a grip additive.

Joints and edges — The deck and the pool move separately, so there is a flexible joint where the deck meets the coping. When that joint fails, water gets behind the pool wall and under the deck. Keeping it sealed is a small job that prevents larger ones.

Timing with the pool build — On a new pool, the deck usually goes in after the shell, plumbing and equipment are in place and before the interior finish. Concrete pool decks poured too early get broken up by later trenching, so the deck is scheduled with the pool builder.

What Affects the Cost of Concrete Pool Decks in Casa Grande

No two pools sit in the same yard, so concrete pool decks are quoted one at a time. The quote reflects these things.

Deck area. The square footage of new or resurfaced deck is the starting point.
New, resurfaced or repaired. Coating a sound deck, repairing sections and pouring new concrete are three different scopes of work.
Access. Pool yards are often walled in, and concrete may need to be pumped over or wheeled through a gate.
Finish. Plain textured finishes are the simplest. Color, stamping and specialty coatings add steps.
Drains and joints. Deck drains, expansion joints and the joint at the coping are part of a proper job.
What is under the old surface. A deck with hollow or loose areas needs more preparation before it can be coated.

Questions About Concrete Pool Decks

Can the deck be redone without draining the pool?

In most cases the pool stays full. The water and the coping are protected while the deck is worked on. If the pool itself is being replastered or retiled, ask both contractors how the two jobs should be ordered.

Is stamped concrete a good idea around a pool?

It can be. Stamped concrete looks good beside water, and many pool decks are finished that way. Choose a pattern with texture, a lighter color and a sealer with a grip additive, because sealed concrete is slicker and warmer than a plain broom finish.

My deck has pulled away from the pool edge. Is that serious?

A gap at the joint between the deck and the coping is common and is usually a matter of replacing the flexible sealant. If the deck has also dropped or tilted, the ground under it has moved and it is worth having it looked at before more water gets in.

Does a salt water pool damage concrete?

Salt water that splashes out and dries on the deck over and over can be hard on a concrete surface and its sealer. Rinsing the deck and keeping it sealed helps. Say so when you ask for a quote if your pool uses a salt system.
