Concrete Pool Deck Contractors — Installation & Resurfacing
Safe, beautiful pool deck surfaces built to handle sun, water, and bare feet — designed to last as long as your pool.
Your pool deck isn't just a walking surface — it's where your family gathers on summer afternoons, where you host barbecues, and where your kids run barefoot between the pool and the house. A concrete pool deck needs to be slip-resistant when wet, comfortable on bare feet in the sun, durable enough to handle pool chemicals and constant moisture, and beautiful enough to match the investment you've made in your pool.
ZBL Concrete & Design builds concrete pool decks that check every box. Whether you're installing a brand new pool deck, replacing an old one that's cracking and fading, or resurfacing an existing deck with a fresh look, we handle the full project. Licensed, insured, and Bryan is on every job — serving Lockport, Naperville, Plainfield, Joliet, Homer Glen, and across Will and DuPage County.
Pool Deck Surface Options
- Stamped Concrete Pool Decks — Natural stone or slate appearance with built-in slip resistance. Our most popular pool deck choice.
- Broom Finish Pool Decks — Classic, clean look with excellent traction. Most affordable pool deck option.
- Exposed Aggregate Pool Decks — Textured stone surface that stays cool and provides natural grip. Great for modern homes.
- Colored Concrete Pool Decks — Integral color or stain to match your home and landscape design.
- Cool Deck Finishes — Light-colored finishes that reflect heat and stay comfortable on bare feet.

Pricing
How much does a concrete pool deck cost? Pool deck pricing ranges from $15 to $30 per square foot depending on finish and size. A broom finish pool deck runs $15–$18/sqft. Stamped concrete pool decks cost $20–$30/sqft. Exposed aggregate falls in between at $18–$25/sqft. A typical pool deck (400–600 sqft) runs $7,500–$15,000 installed.
