Concrete pool deck finishes we pour
Broom finish deck
A broom is dragged across the fresh concrete to leave fine ridges that give wet feet something to grip, and it suits most backyards and budgets.
Exposed aggregate
The top layer is washed back to show the small stones in the mix, which gives a rougher grip and more texture, so it's worth walking on barefoot first.
Textured and decorative finishes
Stamped patterns, textured tops, coatings and overlays add color and character, and we weigh each one for how it grips when wet and how hot it gets.
What goes into a good concrete pool deck in Wichita Falls?
A concrete pool deck in Wichita Falls, TX is the slab you walk on around your pool, and we plan it to grip wet bare feet, stay bearable in the sun and send water away from your house and out of the pool.
Most calls come one of two ways. A pool is going in and needs a deck around it, or an old deck has cracked, sunk toward the house or started holding water where people walk. The price mostly follows the deck's size and shape, the finish, how much old concrete comes out and how much base work the ground needs, and curves, drains and steps add labor. The schedule depends on when the ground around a new pool is ready, the permit check and the weather, because I'd rather wait for a good day to pour than hurry one. If something has to give on budget, I'd simplify the finish before cutting base work, since nobody sees the base on day one but it decides whether the deck stays flat. My estimate lists what the job includes, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
A pool deck job, from the ground up
I decide what a deck needs by walking the yard with you, asking how the pool gets used and looking at where water goes today, before anything is priced.
Checking the fill
With a new pool, we want to know how the ground beside the shell was filled and packed, because the deck rests on it.
Digging out and packing
We dig out soft dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so the deck doesn't settle with loose soil.
Forms and slope
We set forms so the deck falls away from the house and the pool, sending splash and rain toward the yard or a drain.
Joints planned around the shape
We plan control joints, cut lines that give cracks a chosen place to form, around curves, drains and corners.
A finish picked by feel
We compare finishes with you by how they feel under wet bare feet and in full sun, not just by how they look.
Steps and slabs nearby
We can add concrete steps at a back door or a slab foundation for a pool house, planned with the deck so the levels line up.

Pool deck questions we hear
How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Wichita Falls?
Across the US, a concrete pool deck usually costs about $10.10 to $12.40 per square foot installed, which is the market's going rate rather than our quote. Your own figure depends on the deck's size and shape, the finish and how much base work the ground needs. My estimate lists what the job includes so you can compare it fairly.
What is the best finish for a pool deck with wet, bare feet?
The best finish is one that grips well when wet and stays comfortable in the sun, and that's worth weighing right alongside looks. Broom, textured, exposed aggregate, coatings, overlays and decorative finishes all differ in traction and surface heat, and very dark finishes can get uncomfortable in full sun.
What causes a concrete pool deck to crack?
Most pool deck cracks come from ground that moves under the slab or a layout that gives the concrete no planned place to crack. Fill around a new pool shell that wasn't placed and compacted properly can settle later, and narrow, odd-shaped panels around curves and drains are prone to cracking. The deck and the pool also move differently, so isolation joints can help keep the deck from pushing directly against the pool or its coping, the cap along the pool's edge.
How do I check that a concrete contractor is licensed in Wichita Falls?
Wichita Falls Building Inspections licenses and registers contractors, so that's the office to ask. The same office inspects construction in the city for building code requirements.
What is the best time to pour a concrete pool deck in hot weather?
Industry guidance on hot weather suggests pouring at a time of day or night when the weather is favorable, then protecting the concrete from drying out while it cures, the slow hardening before it's ready for use. Heat can cause trouble in delivering, mixing, placing and curing that shows up later, often as a weak, dusty top. That's why I'd rather move a pour than hurry one.
How do I take care of a concrete pool deck with chlorine or a salt-water pool?
Rinse off chemical spills, keep any sealer or coating up according to its manufacturer's instructions and keep the drains clear, because pool chemicals concentrate where water splashes. Salt-water systems add chloride exposure that can affect the rebar, the steel inside the slab, along with metal fixtures, so please tell us at the estimate if you have one.
Other work around the pool
Concrete steps construction
If your back door or patio sits higher than the deck, a solid set of steps makes the walk down safer for wet, barefoot traffic.

A pool house, cabana or storage building near the water needs a level, well-prepared slab under it before any walls go up.

When you want color or pattern beyond a plain deck, decorative concrete gives you more choices, and we still weigh each one for grip and heat.

Building concrete pool decks on Wichita Falls ground
Building Inspections, the city office that issues permits, says construction work in Wichita Falls has to follow the city's codes and carry the correct permits and licenses. Since that rule covers construction work in general, we don't assume anything about your deck. We check with the city office where your job is before we start, and when a permit is needed we handle the application and paperwork for you.
Clay is the other thing we plan around. Expansive clay covers wide areas of Texas, where conditions make it shrink and swell by turns, and that heaving ground causes major problems for builders across the state. It's a big part of why the base and joint work comes first on our decks, and we bring the same care to jobs in Burkburnett and Iowa Park.
