Concrete Pool Decks in London, Ontario
The surface around the water, built to drain and to last.
A pool deck gets wet feet, splash-out, pool chemicals, summer sun and an Ontario winter. We build it like a driveway underneath: excavation, compacted base, air-entrained concrete, and slopes that send water away from the pool.

Pool Deck Replacement
Cracked, heaved or sinking decks taken out and repoured properly, with the pool protected while we work. We tell you honestly if a repair will do instead.

Stamped Pool Decks
Slate, stone or wood-plank patterns in colour, sealed with a slip-resistant additive. The look of natural stone without the loose joints and weeds. More on patterns, colours and resealing: stamped concrete in London.

Coping
The cap along the pool edge, in poured concrete or precast, set to the liner track so the edges line up and the waterline looks finished.

More room for loungers, a dining area or a hot tub pad, poured to match the existing deck so the yard reads as one surface.

Spec 03 · Pool deck questions
Asked before every pool deck quote.
What is the best concrete finish for a pool deck in London?
Broom finish and exposed aggregate give the best grip for wet feet and cost the least. Stamped concrete looks like stone or slate and gets a slip-resistant additive in the sealer. All three are poured as 32 MPa air-entrained concrete so they stand up to Ontario freeze and thaw and pool chemicals.
Can you replace the deck without replacing the liner?
Yes. The deck can come out and go back in around a liner that still has years left; we protect the pool while we work. If the liner is near the end of its life anyway, doing both in one booking saves draining and refilling twice.
Do I need a permit for a pool deck in London, Ontario?
A concrete deck at ground level usually does not need a building permit, but the pool fence and gate rules still apply while the work is going on and after. Raised decks and anything that changes the pool enclosure can need City approval. We confirm what applies to your yard at the site visit.
How long does a pool deck take?
Most backyard pool decks take three to five working days: tear-out, base, forms, pour and finish, then about a week of curing before heavy furniture goes on. Weather and access (how we get material into the yard) change the schedule more than size.
When should I book a pool deck?
Book over the winter for a spring pour, so the deck is cured and sealed before the pool opens. Fall works too, right after closing. The pour season runs roughly May through October.
Why is my pool deck cracking or sinking?
Usually water: a base that was not compacted, splash-out and rain soaking under the slab, then freeze and thaw lifting it. The fix is the base, not a thicker slab. We dig out, compact granular in lifts, and slope the new deck away from the pool so water runs off.
