Concrete Pool Decks in Wilmington, NC

Slip-resistant, cooler-to-the-touch pool surrounds built for wet feet, chlorine, salt and Carolina sun.

A concrete pool deck has three jobs: stay put, drain fast and be safe under wet, bare feet. We pour new pool decks and replace cracked or heaving ones around in-ground pools across Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Leland.

We slope every deck away from the pool and the house, add expansion joints at the coping, and finish with a light-colored, textured surface — stamped stone, knockdown or broom — sealed with a grit additive so it stays grippy and cooler in July.

Typical price range $15–$30 / sq ft · Lifespan: 25+ years

FAQ

Common questions: Concrete Pool Decks

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Wilmington, NC?

Concrete pool decks typically run $15–$30 per square foot depending on finish (broom vs. stamped), colors, tear-out of the old deck and access to the backyard.

What is the safest concrete finish around a pool?

A textured finish — stamped stone, knockdown or broom — sealed with a grit additive. Smooth, glossy finishes look great dry but get slippery when wet.
