Durable Decking Built for Poolside Conditions

Aldos Pool Plastering installs custom stamped concrete decks designed for Houston poolside environments.

Your pool deck endures direct sun exposure, standing water, and constant foot traffic throughout the Houston summer. Stamped concrete offers a slip-resistant surface that handles heat and moisture without cracking or fading the way unsealed pavers or smooth concrete can. You get a finish that looks intentional and holds up to real use.

Aldos Pool Plastering designs and installs stamped concrete decking with textures suited to wet conditions and patterns that align with your existing pool features. We remove outdated or damaged decking, prep the base to support drainage, and pour concrete with integral color and stamped patterns that resist wear. The result is a deck surface that stays cooler underfoot and provides traction when wet.

If your current deck shows cracks or no longer matches your pool area, request a design consultation and resurfacing quote from Aldos Pool Plastering in Houston.

What Changes When You Resurface Around the Pool

We start by evaluating your existing deck layout and drainage flow around the pool in Houston. If replacement is needed, we remove the old surface, grade the soil, and install a compacted base before pouring stamped concrete with embedded color and texture. Patterns are applied while the concrete is still workable, then sealed once cured.

After installation, you will notice the deck no longer collects standing water in low spots and the textured finish provides grip even when splashed. The surface stays visibly cleaner because the sealed concrete resists staining from sunscreen, leaves, and chlorine spills. You can walk barefoot without worrying about sharp edges or loose material.

Stamped concrete works well for both full deck replacements and partial sections that tie into existing hardscape. We do not install over structurally unstable bases or areas with active settling. If your deck has significant cracks or uneven sections, those need to be addressed during prep to prevent the new surface from failing early.

Homeowners in Houston often want to know how stamped concrete compares to other deck materials, how long installation takes, and what maintenance looks like over time.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Starting a Deck Project

What makes stamped concrete better than plain concrete for pool decks?
Stamped concrete includes slip-resistant texture and embedded color that does not wear off like surface coatings. It also offers design flexibility that plain concrete does not provide while maintaining durability in wet conditions.
How long does it take to install a stamped concrete deck?
Most residential pool decks in Houston take three to five days from demolition to final sealing, depending on size and complexity. The concrete needs at least 24 hours to cure before we apply texture and sealer.
When should I replace my pool deck instead of repairing it?
You should consider replacement if your deck has multiple large cracks, uneven settled sections, or widespread surface deterioration. Repairs work well for isolated damage, but widespread issues indicate the base or original pour has failed.
What kind of maintenance does stamped concrete require?
You need to reseal the surface every two to three years to maintain slip resistance and color protection. Regular cleaning with a hose and mild detergent prevents buildup that can wear down the sealer prematurely.
Why does the deck feel hot in summer even with stamped finishes?
All concrete absorbs heat in direct sun, but lighter color choices and textured finishes reflect more light than dark smooth surfaces. Sealing also helps reduce heat retention compared to bare concrete.
