Concrete pool decks in Temple City CA - a deck that grips wet feet and sheds water
Slick spots, puddles that sit, or cracks where the deck meets the pool? We build a deck that drains right and grips underfoot.
What goes into a good concrete pool deck in Temple City?
A concrete pool deck in Temple City is the slab you walk on around your pool, and because it stays wet and gets walked barefoot, a good one grips your feet and sends water away from both the house and the pool.
Most calls start with an old deck that's slick when wet, holds puddles or has cracked along the pool, or with a new pool that needs a deck around it. The price moves with the deck's size, the finish you pick and how much drainage work it takes to get water going the right way, and the schedule usually turns on the city's review more than on our crew. I measure at the estimate and write up exactly what your price includes.
California's contractor licensing board counts forming, pouring, placing and finishing flat concrete as concrete contractor work, which is what a pool deck is, and we're fully licensed and insured to do it.
- We build the walking surface around your pool, from the pool's edge out to the yard.
- Finish choice comes early, since texture decides how well the deck grips wet, bare feet.
- Deck drains, when your design calls for them, get set before the pour so water has somewhere to go.
What happens after you call us about a pool deck?
I come out to every estimate myself, and our own small crew does the work with me running the pour. Here's how a pool deck goes from your first call to the walk-through at the end.
Call or send the form
Call (323) 471-6288 or use the form, and we'll get back to you by phone or email to set a time for me to come out. Tell us if a pool designer is involved, since their drawings shape the deck.
I measure and look it over
I measure, take photos and look at where water runs now and how the deck meets the pool. You get a written estimate that spells out the work and what the price includes, so you know what you're paying for before anything starts.
We check the city, then pour
Before we pick a start, we figure out which office covers your address, because its review comes before any work. On pour day I check the forms one more time, and our crew pours and finishes the deck.
Walk the finished deck together
When we're done, I walk the deck with you and go over how to care for it while it cures and after. Your satisfaction, guaranteed.

(323) 471-6288Pool deck questions we hear in Temple City
These are the questions I hear most before a pool deck goes in. Where a rule or a maker's instruction decides the answer, I've said whose it is.
How much does a concrete pool deck cost in the Los Angeles area?
A concrete pool deck in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $5 to $15 per square foot of deck. That's the going range around here, not our price, and where yours lands depends on its size, the finish and the drainage it needs. The written estimate from my visit spells out what your price includes.
What is the best finish for a pool deck you walk on barefoot?
The best finish has enough texture to grip wet feet in a color that won't get too hot, because broom, textured, exposed aggregate, coatings, overlays and decorative systems all differ in traction and surface heat. Very dark finishes can get uncomfortable in sun, which you notice fast without shoes. We weigh grip next to looks with you at the estimate.
How do I keep water on my pool deck from running toward the house?
Slope the deck away from the house, and away from the pool or into deck drains if the design has them, so dirty runoff stays out of the pool water. A slab that falls toward the house sends every splash at your walls. We set the forms to that plan before any concrete arrives.
Will a new concrete pool deck crack?
A few fine cracks are normal in new concrete, and the goal is to keep them tight and in planned places. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a chosen place to crack, on time, because joints cut late or skipped leave cracks wherever the concrete picks. Along the pool, the designer's edge joints do the same job between deck and shell.
How often does a concrete pool deck need resealing?
One sealer maker says film sealers need recoating every 18 to 24 months, while penetrating sealers last three to five years but bring out less color. So you're trading a richer look for more frequent recoating. The same maker says foot traffic is fine the day after sealing, while furniture, pool chemicals and heavy gear should wait 72 hours.
Who handles the permit paperwork for a pool deck in Temple City?
We help you find the right office for your address and put together what it asks for, but whether your deck needs a permit is that office's call, so we ask before setting a start. If the work changes the fence, wall or hedge around your pool, the city's zoning summary calls for a 5-foot height and points owners to the Building Department for more requirements.
Concrete pool decks in Temple City and nearby cities
Temple City's Building & Safety issues permits, and new paving or a new pool also needs Planning approval before plans go in for building review, so we ask first. We do the same work in Arcadia and San Gabriel.
