Concrete Pool Decks
Transform your pool area into a safe, stylish outdoor oasis with a custom concrete deck.
Why Choose Concrete for Pool Decks
Your pool deck needs to handle a lot. It gets splashed with chlorinated water constantly, bakes in the hot Florida sun all day, and sees barefoot traffic from morning until night. Concrete pool decks from PNP Pinellas Park Concrete are built to handle these challenges while looking great year after year. Concrete offers the perfect balance of durability, safety, comfort, and style for pool areas in Pinellas Park.
Unlike wood decking that splinters, rots, or gets slippery when wet, concrete stays solid and safe. Unlike pavers that shift and settle over time, creating tripping hazards, concrete provides a stable, level surface. And unlike other materials that fade or require constant maintenance, concrete holds up to the elements with minimal care. A properly installed concrete pool deck will serve your family for decades without major repairs or replacement.
Safety and Comfort in the Sun
Safety is critical around pools, especially when you have kids or elderly family members. We design pool decks with the right texture to prevent slipping when the surface is wet. Smooth concrete can be dangerously slippery, but we use special finishes that add traction without being rough on bare feet. You can walk safely from the pool to your lounge chair without worrying about falls.
Heat reflection is another important consideration in Florida. Dark surfaces absorb heat and become too hot to walk on comfortably. We use techniques like light-colored concrete, cool deck coatings, or textured finishes that stay cooler under the sun. This lets your family enjoy the pool area all day without burning their feet. We also plan proper drainage so water does not pool on the deck, which keeps the surface safer and cleaner.
Design and Style Options
Your pool deck should reflect your personal style and complement your home. We offer a wide range of design options that turn ordinary concrete into a stunning outdoor feature.
Popular Pool Deck Finishes
- Stamped concrete: Create the look of natural stone, travertine, or slate at a fraction of the cost

- Brushed finish: Subtle texture that is safe and comfortable while maintaining a clean, modern look
- Colored concrete: Choose from earth tones like tan, gray, or terracotta to match your landscape
- Spray deck coating: Cool-to-the-touch coating available in multiple colors and textures

We work with you to select finishes that match your budget and lifestyle. If you are also planning other outdoor improvements, we can coordinate your pool deck design with patio installations or other concrete work for a unified look throughout your backyard.
Our Pool Deck Installation Process
Building a quality pool deck requires specialized knowledge and attention to detail. We follow a systematic approach that ensures your deck is safe, durable, and beautiful.
Planning and Design Consultation
We start by meeting with you to understand your vision and needs. We measure your pool area, discuss design options, and provide recommendations based on our experience with Florida conditions. We help you choose finishes, colors, and features that fit your style and budget. We also plan for important details like drainage, expansion joints, and any special features you want to include.
Site Preparation
Proper foundation work is essential for a long-lasting pool deck. We excavate the area to the correct depth, removing any existing surfaces or unsuitable soil. In Florida, dealing with sandy soil and high water tables requires special attention to base preparation. We install a compacted gravel base that provides stability and allows water to drain away from the pool area. We also install forms that define the shape and slope of your deck. The slight slope ensures water runs away from the pool and your home rather than pooling on the surface.
Reinforcement and Concrete Pour
We use steel reinforcement throughout the deck to prevent cracking and ensure structural integrity. This is especially important in pool decks because the constant exposure to water and temperature changes puts stress on the concrete. We pour high-quality concrete that is specifically mixed for outdoor use in Florida weather. Our team works efficiently to place and finish the concrete before it begins to set. We create the proper slope and prepare the surface for whatever decorative finish you have chosen.
Finishing and Sealing
After the concrete is poured, we apply your chosen finish while the concrete is still workable. This might include stamping patterns, exposing aggregate, or creating texture for traction. We pay careful attention to the area right around the pool edge, called the coping, which needs to be especially smooth and well-finished. Once the concrete cures, we apply a high-quality sealer that protects against water penetration, chemical damage from pool treatments, and UV fading. The sealer also makes cleaning easier and helps maintain the appearance of your deck. If you need other concrete work done at the same time, such as new walkways connecting to your deck, we can coordinate all the work efficiently.
