Concrete Pool Decks in Highland Village, TX
A concrete pool deck around your Highland Village pool needs to handle Texas heat, stay safe when wet, and look great for decades. We build pool decks that do all three.
Pool Decks Built for Texas Summers
A concrete pool deck around your Highland Village pool needs to handle Texas heat, stay safe when wet, and look great for decades. With summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F near Lake Lewisville, a poorly planned pool deck becomes dangerously hot underfoot — and a slippery surface around a pool is a safety hazard your family and guests shouldn't have to deal with. Highland Village Concrete designs pool decks that address both: we select finishes that stay cooler in the Texas sun, and we always apply anti-slip treatments so the surface remains safe whether it's wet from splashing or from the afternoon storm that rolls through. The result is a pool surround that's as functional as it is beautiful.
Pool Deck Finish Options
Broom Finish
The most common and cost-effective option. A broom-dragged texture provides excellent slip resistance and keeps costs down while delivering a clean, functional pool deck. Light gray tones reflect heat well.
Exposed Aggregate
Pea gravel or decorative stone is exposed at the surface for a natural, textured look that provides outstanding slip resistance and stays cooler than smooth concrete. A popular choice for Highland Village homes with a natural aesthetic.
Stamped Concrete
Patterns like flagstone, travertine, and slate bring resort-style elegance to your Highland Village pool. We always use sealers with anti-slip additives for pool applications. $15–20/sqft for most pool deck stamped designs.
Cool Deck / Spray Texture
A thin textured overlay applied in light colors that reflects solar energy and keeps surface temperatures significantly cooler than standard gray concrete — a major comfort factor on 100°F+ Texas days.
What a Pool Deck Installation Involves
Pool deck installations require coordination with the pool's coping and bond beam. We excavate and compact the subgrade, form the deck area, place reinforcement, and pour and finish the concrete. Proper slope away from the pool — typically 1/8" to 1/4" per foot — is essential for drainage and safety. Control joints are cut to manage cracking, and the surface is sealed with a product appropriate for wet-area use. For resurfacing existing pool decks, we grind the surface, apply a polymer overlay, stamp or texture as desired, and seal.
- Coordination with pool coping and bond beam
- Proper drainage slope (1/8"–1/4" per foot away from pool)
- Anti-slip finishes standard on all pool deck work
- UV-stable sealers for color longevity in Texas sun
- Control joints to manage natural concrete movement
- Resurfacing services for existing pool decks
When to Replace or Resurface Your Pool Deck
Highland Village pool decks typically need attention when cracks have developed across the surface, when sections have heaved or settled creating trip hazards, when the surface has become rough or pitted, or when the existing finish has faded and lost its slip-resistance texture. Many pool decks in the Lakewood, The Peninsula, and Lakeside Estates neighborhoods of Highland Village were installed 15–25 years ago and are reaching the end of their first life — resurfacing or replacement is often the most cost-effective path forward.

Concrete pool deck installation in the DFW area typically costs $8–20 per square foot depending on finish type.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best concrete finish for a pool deck in Texas heat?
Light-colored finishes — white, light gray, buff, or tan — reflect more solar energy and stay significantly cooler underfoot than dark concrete. Exposed aggregate and cool deck spray textures are the most comfortable in Texas summers. Dark stamped concrete, while beautiful, can get uncomfortably hot by mid-afternoon in July. We discuss color and finish options with every client to balance aesthetics with comfort.
Is concrete slippery around a pool?
Smooth concrete can be slippery when wet, but properly finished pool deck concrete — with broom texture, exposed aggregate, or anti-slip sealer additives — provides excellent traction. We never apply a smooth finish or high-gloss sealer around pools. All our pool deck work includes appropriate anti-slip treatment as standard.
How long does a concrete pool deck last?
A properly installed concrete pool deck in Highland Village lasts 20–30+ years. The main threats are clay soil movement and UV damage to sealers. Regular sealing every 2–3 years and prompt crack repair when issues appear early will maximize the life of your deck.
Can I resurface my existing pool deck instead of replacing it?
Yes, if your existing deck is structurally sound — no heaving, major cracks, or significant settling — resurfacing with a decorative overlay is a cost-effective way to dramatically improve its appearance and slip resistance. We assess every deck before recommending overlay vs. replacement.
