A concrete pool deck should stay flat, drain cleanly, and feel safe under wet feet. Orlando Concreters installs and replaces concrete pool deck slabs with proper base work, control joints, and durable finishes that hold up to sun, rain, and pool chemicals.
Good pool deck concrete starts below the slab. We demo and haul off failed concrete, then set elevations and slope away from the pool and home, typically about 1/8 inch per foot to keep water moving. The base is rebuilt with compactable crushed stone (often 57 stone) in lifts, then mechanically compacted with a plate compactor; soft spots get undercut and stabilized so the slab does not settle later. We form edges, install rebar or welded wire mesh as specified, and place expansion material where the deck meets coping, walls, and columns.
Central Florida weather and pool environments demand the right mix and finish choices. We use air-entrainment only when appropriate, add fiber reinforcement when beneficial, and can include integral color, shake-on color hardener, or stain after cure depending on the look you want. For traction, we commonly install broom-finish, light salt-finish, or a stamped texture with a slip-resistant sealer rated for pool areas. Control joints are laid out to reduce random cracking, and we keep joint spacing practical (often 8-10 feet) while matching deck geometry, steps, and equipment pads for a clean layout.
Orlando customers choose us because we build pool decks like flatwork that has to perform, not just look good on day one. Our crews focus on grade, compaction, and jointing, then place and finish with professional tools like laser levels, bull floats, magnesium hand floats, and edging and grooving tools so the surface drains and the edges stay tight. You get clear options for plain concrete, stamped concrete, or decorative coatings, plus straightforward guidance on slip resistance, heat, and maintenance around pools. We are licensed and insured, and we provide a free written estimate with scope, thickness, reinforcement, and finish spelled out.
Before we pour, we walk the site with you to confirm slopes, step transitions, drain locations, and where joints and expansion gaps will land. On pour day we protect adjacent coping, screen enclosures, and landscaping, then place, finish, and cure the slab using curing compound or wet cure practices suited to the project and weather. After curing, we can apply a penetrating sealer or a high-quality acrylic sealer appropriate for pool decks, and we explain reseal intervals and cleaning methods that will not damage the finish. You receive a clean jobsite, documented scope, and a concrete pool deck built for safe footing, proper drainage, and long-term durability.

Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing site access, square footage, grade, and the scope of demolition, forming, reinforcement, and finish.
Yes. We handle saw-cutting where needed, demolition, loading, and disposal, then rebuild the base and forms for the new pour.
When permits are required, we can coordinate the process and build to Florida Building Code requirements. We will tell you up front if permitting is likely for your scope.
Yes. We install stamped concrete with texture mats, border patterns, and color options, then apply a suitable sealer based on the finish and expected wear.
Common causes include poor subgrade compaction, inadequate base, improper drainage, lack of control joints, and heavy loads on thin sections. Some cracking is normal, but good design and prep reduce random cracking and settlement.
If your pool deck is cracking, settling, or slick when wet, a new concrete pool deck is one of the best upgrades for safety and curb appeal. Orlando Concreters installs and replaces pool deck concrete with attention to base compaction, drainage slope, joint layout, and finishes that stand up to UV exposure, heavy rain, and chlorinated or saltwater systems. We help you choose the right surface texture and sealer so the deck looks good and performs around bare feet, furniture, and frequent washdowns.
A quality concrete pool deck starts with demolition and accurate grade work. We remove failed slabs, set forms, and rebuild the subbase with compacted aggregate in lifts, using mechanical compaction to avoid future voids. Reinforcement may include rebar, welded wire mesh, and fiber, depending on thickness, panel sizes, and existing conditions. We also isolate the deck from coping and structures with expansion material to reduce stress transfer and edge cracking.
Finish selection matters as much as strength. Broom-finish and light textures provide traction, while stamped concrete can deliver a higher-end look when paired with a slip-resistant sealer designed for pool environments. We plan joint locations around curves, steps, and equipment pads so the deck reads clean and drains correctly. After placement, we use curing practices that support strength gain and reduce surface dusting in Florida heat.
To get pricing and a firm plan, we schedule a site visit to measure square footage, confirm access, and review drainage and elevation constraints. Your free written estimate details removal (if needed), base depth, concrete thickness, reinforcement, jointing, finish, and sealing options. If you are ready for a concrete pool deck that stays safer, drains better, and lasts longer, call Orlando Concreters to book an estimate.
