Concrete Pool Decks

Why Choose Concrete for Pool Decks

Your pool deck needs to handle constant water exposure, hot Florida sun, heavy foot traffic, and pool chemicals without falling apart. Concrete delivers on all fronts. It is durable, affordable, and versatile enough to match any design style from modern to tropical.

Wood decks rot and splinter around pools. Pavers shift and create trip hazards. Natural stone costs a fortune and requires regular maintenance. Concrete pool decks avoid all these problems while offering unlimited customization options. You can choose from smooth finishes, textured surfaces, stamped patterns, or decorative overlays that mimic high-end materials at a fraction of the price.

At ParamountGate Margate Concrete, we have installed hundreds of pool decks throughout Margate. We know how to create a surface that stays cool underfoot, resists slipping when wet, and looks great for decades. Whether you are building a new pool or replacing an old deck, we will help you design the perfect outdoor space.

Slip-Resistant Finishes

Safety is the top priority for any pool deck. Wet concrete can be slippery, but we use special finishing techniques to create traction without making the surface rough or uncomfortable on bare feet. Here are the most popular slip-resistant options:

• 1Brushed Finish: A lightly textured surface created by brushing the concrete while it is still wet.
• 2Exposed Aggregate: Decorative stones exposed on the surface provide natural grip and visual appeal.
• 3Stamped Concrete: Textured patterns that look like stone, slate, or travertine with built-in traction.
• 4Acrylic Texture Coatings: Applied over existing concrete to add color and slip resistance.
• 5Salt Finish: Rock salt pressed into wet concrete and later washed away creates a light texture.

We help you choose the right finish based on your budget, design preferences, and how the pool will be used. Families with young children often prefer a smoother texture, while adults may opt for a more pronounced finish for maximum traction.

Design and Customization

Your pool deck should reflect your personal style and complement your home. Concrete gives you endless design possibilities. You can add color with integral pigments or stains, create borders and patterns with saw cuts or scoring, or use stamps to mimic expensive materials like flagstone or slate.

Cool Deck Technology

In Florida, a hot pool deck can ruin a summer afternoon. We offer cool deck coatings that reflect heat and stay comfortable to walk on even in direct sunlight. These coatings come in a variety of colors and textures, so you do not have to sacrifice style for comfort.

We also design drainage into every pool deck. Proper grading ensures water flows away from your pool and home, preventing puddles and erosion. If you want to coordinate your pool deck with a new concrete patio or walkway, we can create a cohesive outdoor living space that ties everything together beautifully.
