A concrete pool deck has to stay flat, safe, and good-looking around water, sun, and pool chemicals. Serving St. Augustine since 2016, St. Augustine Concreters installs and replaces pool decks with proper drainage, clean joints, and durable finishes.
Good pool-deck performance starts below the slab. We demo and haul off failed concrete as needed, then set final elevations to move water away from the pool and the home. Subgrade is proof-rolled, soft spots are undercut, and we build a compacted base with crushed stone, geotextile fabric where needed, and edge forms that hold line and grade. Before the pour, we place reinforcement (fiber mesh and/or #3 or #4 rebar) and plan control joints so shrinkage cracks form where they should, not across the walking path.
In coastal North Florida, heat, rain events, and sandy soils make drainage and surface texture non-negotiable. We place a 4000 psi air-entrained mix when conditions call for it, keep water-cement ratios tight, and use curing practices that reduce surface dusting and early cracking. For traction, we recommend broom-finish, light salt-finish, or stamped textures with a non-slip additive in the sealer. We also detail expansion material at fixed structures, set joint spacing to match slab thickness, and can integrate channel drains or deck drains to prevent puddling and algae buildup.
Homeowners and businesses choose us because we treat pool work like finish carpentry, tight layout, clean edges, and consistent texture. Our crews show up with the right equipment for the job, including laser levels for grade, plate compactors for base, and professional concrete saws for straight joint cuts. We protect coping, tile, screen enclosures, and landscaping, and we keep a clean jobsite with clear access around the pool. You get direct communication, a written scope, and a plan that prioritizes slip resistance and long-term crack control.
After placement, we walk the site with you to confirm slope, joint locations, steps, and transitions at doors and patios. We explain cure times, when you can resume foot traffic, and when it is safe to move furniture back, plus sealer timing if applicable. Your concrete pool deck package can include demolition and disposal, base prep and compaction, reinforcement, placement and finishing, sawcut control joints, caulked expansion joints, and optional sealing. The result is a deck that drains correctly, stays easier to clean, and feels solid underfoot season after season.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines demolition (if needed), base prep, reinforcement, concrete thickness, finish, joints, and timeline.
Yes. We handle saw-cutting and demolition, haul-off, re-grading, compacted base installation, and a new pour with proper jointing and drainage.
When permits or inspections apply, we help coordinate the process and build to applicable Florida Building Code requirements for the scope of work.
Yes. We set forms to match door thresholds and tie into existing concrete where appropriate, using proper joints and dowels when needed to manage movement.
Avoid heavy loads too soon, keep the surface clean, and follow our curing guidance for the first 7-28 days. If sealed, use mild cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade the sealer.
If your pool area has cracks, heaving corners, slick spots, or constant puddles, it is usually a grading, base, or finishing issue, not just old concrete. A well-built concrete pool deck is designed for wet traffic, thermal movement, and exposure to salt air and pool chemicals. St. Augustine Concreters builds new decks and replaces failing slabs with the right base, reinforcement, joint plan, and surface texture so your pool area stays safer and lower maintenance.
Concrete pool deck work starts with layout and elevations. We establish a consistent pitch, typically about 1/8-1/4 inch per foot, to drain without feeling steep underfoot. We then correct weak subgrade, install and compact base material in lifts, and set forms for clean lines around coping, screen enclosures, and existing patios. Reinforcement is installed before the pour, and we pre-plan control joints so the slab can move without random cracking.
Finish selection matters around water. A slick trowel finish is not a pool-deck solution, so we steer most customers to broom-finish or a light salt-finish for grip and comfort. If you want decorative concrete, stamped patterns can be paired with the right release, joint layout, and a quality sealer with a traction additive. We also detail expansion joints at fixed points, and we can add deck drains or channel drains when the site needs more help moving water.
Whether you are replacing a damaged deck or pouring new concrete around a new pool, we provide a written estimate, clear start-to-finish scope, and a final walkthrough. You will know where the joints will land, how the deck will drain, what cure time to expect, and how to care for the surface.
