A concrete pool deck for a property in Childress, Texas. The area was graded and formed, reinforcement was placed, and the deck was poured and finished with a clean, comfortable surface around the pool — built to handle sun, water, and foot traffic.
Scope of Work
- Layout & forming
- Reinforcement
- Concrete pour
- Finished deck surface
How This Project Came Together
This pool deck in Childress went in around water that never lets a slab stay dry for long — splashing, sunscreen, and constant sun test the surface every day it gets used. The project needed the deck area graded, formed, and reinforced around the pool before the finished surface could go down.
The crew laid out and formed the deck area around the pool, placed reinforcement across the full surface, and poured the deck in sections finished for a comfortable, consistent walking surface. The pour was worked and floated to a texture built for wet feet and bare skin, not the smoother finish a driveway or garage floor would get.
Challenge
A pool deck has to slope away from the water just enough to drain properly without being noticeable underfoot, and that slope has to hold consistently around the entire perimeter of the pool rather than at just one or two points. Getting that grade right while keeping the surface texture even and slip-resistant across the whole deck takes more attention during finishing than a flat slab poured for parking or storage.
Solution
The crew set grade stakes around the full pool perimeter before forming, checking fall toward the drainage points at multiple locations rather than assuming one measurement would hold true all the way around. The finishing pass was worked to a texture that stays grippy wet without feeling rough on bare feet, tuned specifically for how the deck would actually be used.
Result
Summers in this part of Texas put a pool deck through heavy, near-daily use, and this one drains cleanly away from the water while holding a safe, comfortable surface underfoot in direct sun. The deck itself is built for exactly how it gets used, poured and finished around the pool rather than a general slab poured somewhere near the water and left to double as a deck.
