How much does a concrete pool deck cost?

Concrete pool decks in Northern Illinois cost $8–$20 per square foot depending on the finish. Standard broom finish runs $8–$12/sq ft. Stamped or textured finishes cost $12–$18/sq ft. Cool-deck coatings that reduce surface temperature add $3–$5/sq ft. A typical pool deck (400–600 sq ft) costs $4,000–$12,000 installed.

What's the best concrete finish for a pool deck?

The best pool deck finishes combine slip resistance with heat reduction. Textured stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and specialized cool-deck coatings are all excellent choices. Standard broom finish provides good traction but can get hot. Avoid smooth-troweled finishes around pools — they become dangerously slippery when wet.

Can you pour concrete around an existing pool?

Absolutely. We regularly pour new concrete decks around existing in-ground pools. The process requires careful forming around the pool coping, proper drainage slope (away from the pool), and isolation joints between the deck and pool structure to accommodate movement. We can also resurface or stamp over existing pool decks in many cases.

A well-built concrete pool deck enhances your outdoor living space, improves pool safety, and adds property value. If you're looking for a "concrete pool deck contractor near me," here's what matters most in Northern Illinois.

Safety First: Slip Resistance

Pool decks must provide excellent traction when wet. At RCC Masonry & Concrete, we recommend textured stamped concrete, broom finish, or exposed aggregate for maximum slip resistance. We never install smooth-troweled concrete around pools — it's a liability when wet.

Design Options

Pool decks offer excellent opportunities for decorative concrete. Stamped patterns can mimic natural flagstone, travertine, or slate for a resort-like feel. Integral color and decorative borders create custom designs that complement your landscaping. Cool-deck coatings in lighter colors reduce surface temperature by up to 30% for comfortable barefoot walking.
