Decorative Concrete Finishes for Pool Decks

A pool is a major investment, but the deck surrounding it defines the look and functionality of the space. In Fort Worth, where pool season is long and hot, your deck needs to be safe, durable, and comfortable for bare feet.
Safety First: Slip Resistance
Smooth concrete becomes dangerously slippery when wet. For pool decks, we recommend textured finishes that provide grip without being too abrasive.
- Broom Finish: A classic, budget-friendly option with light texture.
- Salt Finish: Creates a speckled, pitted texture that looks great and offers moderate grip.
- Textured Overlay: A spray-on acrylic coating that provides excellent traction and can be customized with colors and patterns.
Cool-Deck Technology
We all know how hot TX concrete can get in July. "Cool deck" coatings are designed to reflect solar radiation, lowering surface temperatures by up to 20 degrees compared to standard grey concrete. This makes a huge difference for comfort and protects delicate feet and paws.
Aesthetic Options
Stamped concrete is also popular for pool decks, often used to mimic natural stone copings or pavers. By using lighter colors, we can keep the surface cooler while achieving a high-end resort look right in your backyard.
Updating your pool deck not only improves safety but can completely revitalize the look of your entire pool area.
