Muddy Boots Concrete pours concrete pool decks for in-ground pools in Louisville and the towns around it. That covers the deck and surround, plus a walk from the house or the gate to the deck. A deck can also tie into a patio and steps. Call or text (502) 889-1624 for a free estimate.
You can choose a broom finish or stamped and decorative finishes, and stamped work is our specialty. If the concrete around your pool is worn out, we tear it out and pour new concrete. We also pour concrete pads for above-ground pools. Either way, the quote comes in writing before any concrete is poured.

A pool deck should shed water away from the pool and away from the house. The CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code calls for at least 1/8 inch of fall per foot on lightly broomed concrete. Medium-broomed concrete needs at least 1/4 inch per foot, so a rougher texture calls for more fall.
Water should drain to the edge of the deck or to a deck drain without leaving standing water. The code is voluntary guidance for public pools, so it does not set the rule for a backyard. Use it as a number to ask about before the pour.
Concrete trade guidance says exterior slabs need a texture that will not be slippery when wet. A broom texture gives a non-slip surface, per the same guidance. The public pool code asks for slip-resistant, textured finishes on every deck, for bare feet in wet or dry conditions.
A concrete pool deck usually comes late in a pool build. The shell and the plumbing go in first, then the backfill. Coping, pool wiring and any deck drains stay with the pool company and its trades. Anything that runs under the slab has to be in the ground before the pour.
The soil beside a new pool was dug out and put back, so it can sit loose. Trade guidance says topsoil and soft spots should come out, and the soil under a slab should be well compacted. A smooth, level and evenly compacted base helps prevent cracking. A sloped yard may need site grading first.
Control joints give a slab a planned place to crack. On a 4 inch slab, trade guidance puts them about 10 feet apart. An isolation joint goes where the slab meets a fixed object, like a house wall, a step or the coping. That joint lets each part move on its own.
The Kentucky Residential Code rates every county in the state as severe for concrete weathering. Louisville averages about 74 nights a year at 32 degrees or lower. Trade guidance says concrete soaked with water through freeze and thaw cycles can flake at the surface. Air-entrained concrete holds millions of small air bubbles that make room for the ice.
The Kentucky Residential Code says an outdoor in-ground pool must be surrounded by a barrier. Its top must be at least 48 inches above grade. A barrier also has to sit where permanent structures cannot be used to climb it. Set the fence line with your fence company before the deck layout, and keep steps and walls clear of it.
The deck also has to meet the rest of the yard. A concrete walkway can run from the house or the gate to the deck. The deck can tie into a concrete patio, and concrete steps can handle a change in level. Plan them with the deck, so the heights match and water keeps running away from the pool.
