Concrete pool decks in Beverly Hills CA - a deck that drains and keeps its grip

Slick spots, puddles by the house or cracks around the pool? We pour a deck that sheds water and grips well underfoot.

What goes into a new concrete pool deck in Beverly Hills?

A concrete pool deck is the flat walking surface around your pool, and in Beverly Hills we pour it with a finish that grips when it's wet and a slope that sends water away from the pool and away from your house.

Most people call us because the old deck has cracked, lifted near the pool edge or holds puddles, or because a new pool needs a deck around it. The price moves mostly with the size of the deck, how much old concrete has to come out, how much digging and packing the ground needs before the pour, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the permit side, the weather on pour day and the curing, which is the wait while the concrete hardens before you put furniture and foot traffic on it. I come out, measure, look at your drainage and the ground around the pool, and the written estimate spells out what's included for your deck.

Why owners call us for pool decks

You can count on the owner looking at your deck, a crew that does the prep right before the pour, and a plain explanation of every choice before you sign anything.

  • The owner at your pool

    I come out myself to look at your pool area and write the estimate, and I run the job on site.

  • Here since 2021

    We've been pouring concrete in Beverly Hills since 2021, and I learned the trade by asking finishers why they did each step.

  • Licensed and insured

    We're licensed and insured, so you aren't carrying the risk while our crew works around your pool.

  • Base before finish

    We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a nice finish won't save a deck that settles.

  • Backed by our satisfaction guarantee

    When you're ready to talk about your deck, call (424) 550-5006 or use the form, and I'll come out and look.

Pool deck options we pour

The right deck depends on how much sun your pool gets, how the ground behaves and what the deck meets, like steps or a cabana, so we sort that out on the visit.

  • Broom-finished deck

    A broom finish is a light texture dragged across the wet concrete, so bare feet have something to grip and the surface doesn't turn glassy in the sun. It's the one I steer most sunny pool areas toward, and we slope it so water runs off away from the pool and the house.

  • Stamped deck with a grip sealer

    Stamped concrete gives you the look of stone or tile, but a smooth stamped surface gets slick around a pool in full sun. If you want that look, we plan for a non-slip additive in the sealer coat, and I'll tell you up front that it needs resealing on schedule to keep its grip.

  • Sectioned deck for moving ground

    If the ground around your pool tends to move, or the deck runs back from the top of a slope, soil guidance advises against one big continuous slab, so we talk about breaking it into reinforced sections with joints or planting strips between them. Control joints are cuts we place on purpose so the concrete cracks where we choose, and rebar, the steel inside, holds each section together as the ground shifts.

  • Steps and connected slabs

    A deck often steps down to the yard or meets a cabana or equipment pad, and those pieces drain better when they're planned together. We pour concrete steps and handle slab foundation building as part of the same job when your project needs them.

Pool deck questions we hear

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Beverly Hills?

A concrete pool deck in Los Angeles usually costs about $5 to $10 per square foot for the concrete work. Where yours lands depends on the deck's size, how much old concrete comes out, how much the ground needs before the pour and the finish you choose, and stamped work or extra base prep push it higher. After I look at your pool area, the written estimate shows what's included for your deck.

Do I need a permit for a pool deck in Beverly Hills?

You may, because the City of Beverly Hills requires building permits for structural alterations, improvements inside and out, general repairs, new construction and demolition. The city's list doesn't spell out how it treats replacing or resurfacing a deck, so we find out what it asks for at your address and take care of the permit paperwork when it's needed. If something has to come from you, like a soils report or drawings, we tell you early.

Who is allowed to build a pool deck in California?

A contractor holding California's concrete license can, since that license covers forming, pouring, finishing and installing flat concrete work like a pool deck. Under state license board guidance, a landscaping contractor can also take on concrete work when it's part of a landscape project around the house.

What causes a pool deck to crack or lift?

Swelling soil is a common cause, because ground that takes on water can push a deck up, tilt it or shove it sideways, along with driveways, walls and even the pool. A gravel or stone base gives the slab better support, but stone alone won't stop clay from swelling. On that kind of soil, fixing or sealing cracks and gaps in the deck promptly cuts down on water getting into the ground underneath.

How do I find out if my yard has expansive soil?

Start with your home buyer's disclosures, and if they don't say, the city's building department or a soil engineer or geologist can tell you. If you have those notes, send them with your estimate request, because they change how I plan the base and the joints.

Where should water from a pool deck drain?

Water off the deck should run toward planting areas, drainage channels or collection drains, not toward your house. Ask any contractor you're weighing where the runoff will end up, and on my visit I'll show you where we'd send yours.

What changes a concrete pool deck job in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills requires a licensed contractor on every project valued at $1,000 or more, so ask anyone you're weighing to show their license before you sign. Owner-builder projects there only apply to owner-occupied single-family homes and owner-occupied condos, and condo owners are limited to interior work, so a deck around a condo pool isn't something you can take on yourself.

Around here most pool areas sit in full sun, and plenty of yards have ground that moves with the seasons, so we plan the finish, the base and the joints around both before anything gets poured. We see the same conditions on jobs in West Hollywood and Santa Monica, and we work across many of the cities around Beverly Hills, so if yours isn't on our list, ask us anyway.
