Concrete Pool Decks
Beautiful, slip-resistant concrete pool decks that combine safety with style for Henderson, KY pool owners.

Why Concrete Pool Decks Are the Smart Choice
Your pool deck serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. It must be safe for wet, bare feet while also enhancing the overall look of your backyard oasis. Concrete pool decks offer the perfect balance of safety, durability, and design flexibility that other materials simply cannot match.
Unlike wood decks that splinter and rot, or pavers that shift and create trip hazards, a properly installed concrete pool deck provides a stable, long-lasting surface. Concrete resists pool chemicals, withstands constant moisture exposure, and can be textured to prevent slips and falls. With proper installation and maintenance, your concrete pool deck will serve your family for decades.
At MonarchHill Henderson Concrete, we specialize in creating pool decks that are both safe and beautiful. We understand the unique requirements of pool surrounds, from proper drainage slopes to slip-resistant finishes. Our experienced team has installed dozens of pool decks throughout Henderson and surrounding areas, and we know how to deliver results that exceed your expectations.
Pool Deck Design Options
One of the biggest advantages of choosing concrete for your pool deck is the nearly unlimited design possibilities. Gone are the days when concrete meant plain gray slabs. Modern concrete techniques allow us to create pool decks that rival the look of expensive natural stone or pavers, but at a fraction of the cost and with far less maintenance.
Popular Pool Deck Finishes:
- Broom Finish: The most economical option, providing excellent traction and a clean, traditional look
- Stamped Concrete: Replicates the appearance of stone, slate, or brick with realistic patterns and textures
- Textured or Salt Finish: Creates a slip-resistant surface with an attractive speckled appearance
- Colored Concrete: Integral color or stain adds visual interest and complements your home exterior
- Exposed Aggregate: Reveals decorative stones for a natural, sophisticated look with great traction
We can also combine multiple techniques. For example, a stamped concrete border around a broom-finished center creates visual interest while keeping costs reasonable. During your free consultation, we will show you samples and photos of completed projects to help you visualize the possibilities for your pool deck.
Safety Features and Proper Installation
Safety is the top priority for any pool deck. Wet concrete can be slippery, so we always incorporate slip-resistant textures into our pool deck installations. The level of texture depends on your preferences and how the area will be used. Areas around pool edges and diving boards need more texture than lounging areas further from the water.
Proper drainage is equally important. Water must drain away from the pool and your home, not puddle on the deck surface. We slope all pool decks carefully, typically one quarter inch per foot, to ensure water runs off quickly. This prevents standing water, reduces slip hazards, and extends the life of your concrete by minimizing freeze-thaw damage in winter.
We also pay careful attention to the pool coping and how the deck transitions to the pool edge. This connection point must be watertight and stable. Poor installation here leads to water infiltration behind the pool wall, which can cause serious structural problems. Our crews have the experience to handle these details correctly, ensuring your pool deck installation enhances rather than compromises your pool structure.
