Can you fix the old deck or start over?
If the deck still sits level and sheds water, a repair or fresh sealer usually does it. If the pitch or the base has failed, new concrete is the better spend.
A repair is enough when:
- The deck still sits level
- Water still runs away from the pool
- Cracks are thin and not growing
- The surface just needs fresh sealer
- Edges along the pool are solid
A new deck makes sense when:
- Water runs toward the pool or house
- Sections have sunk or lifted
- The top is flaking across wide areas
- Cracks keep spreading or leave trip edges
- You're changing the pool or deck layout

A visit scheduled
I look and measure
I come out to look and measure, check where water runs now and walk you through your finish choices before you decide anything.
Your options explained
A written estimate and plan
You get a written estimate showing what's included and what isn't, plus a plan with each step in order. If a permit is needed, we handle the paperwork.
A written estimate
Our crew pours
Our crew forms, pours and finishes the deck, pitched away from the pool and house. Then it cures, the slow hardening concrete needs before it takes foot traffic.
A new deck curing
Walk-through and care
I walk the finished deck with you, tell you when it's ready to use and seal, and explain your sealer choices and how often each needs redoing.
A care plan
What a concrete pool deck job includes
Tear-out and haul-off
If your estimate includes it, we break up the old deck and haul it away before any new work starts.
Digging out the base
We dig out soft dirt and pack the subgrade, the ground the deck sits on, because a deck settles with whatever's under it.
Setting the pitch
We set the forms so the finished deck falls away from the pool and the house, toward the yard or a drain.
A finish that grips
We give the top a broom finish, a fine brushed texture that grips wet bare feet better than smooth concrete.
Control joints cut on time
We cut the joints while the concrete is still young, so cracks have a planned place to go.
Steps where you need them
If the deck meets a back door or a change in grade, we can pour concrete steps as part of the same plan.
What drives the cost of a pool deck?
Size comes first, and curves around a freeform pool take more forming than straight runs. Tearing out an old deck adds to the job, and so does a backyard a truck can't reach. A plain brushed finish costs less than a stamped or colored one.
The base is the part I won't trim. Nobody sees it on day one, so it's the first cut people suggest, but one county contractor notes the clay under most of O'Fallon swells when wet and shrinks as it dries, and a deck moves with it. We prep it the way we would for a slab foundation. Your schedule turns mostly on weather and on any permit your address needs.
Why O'Fallon homeowners call us for pool decks
I spent years building schedules for a busy company, then learned concrete on a crew and started D&R in O'Fallon in 2017. I still lay every pool deck out in order before anything gets poured, and I explain each step plainly before you pick a finish or sign anything, because most problems I see start before the pour.
I do your estimate myself, and our crew handles the forming, pouring and finishing. We're licensed and insured, our promise is satisfaction guaranteed, and questions are always welcome. When you're ready, call (636) 614-2331 or use the form below.

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in the St. Louis area?
Installing a concrete pool deck in the St. Louis area usually costs about $3.50 to $7.90 per square foot, including materials, labor and site prep. Where yours lands depends on the deck's size and shape, any tear-out, backyard access and the finish you pick. Our written estimate shows what's included and what isn't.
What is the safest finish for a concrete pool deck?
A textured, non-slip surface is the safest choice, and pool safety guidance steers owners away from smooth stamped concrete. For a stamped look, that guidance calls for a non-slip additive broadcast into the sealer coat, resealed on schedule so it stays slip resistant. It also steers owners away from polished stone and dark colors in full sun.
How often does a concrete pool deck need resealing?
A penetrating sealer usually needs redoing every 5 to 7 years, while a topical acrylic sealer gets reapplied as it wears. The acrylic stays visible as a coat on top, and the penetrating kind soaks in and turns invisible. You're weighing the look of a visible coat against how often you want to reseal, and I'll walk you through both before you pick.
How long do I have to wait to seal a new concrete pool deck?
Industry guidance is to wait 28 days after the concrete is placed before sealing it. The exception is an integral sealer, which is mixed into the concrete itself. Your plan from us shows where sealing fits, so you don't have to guess.
What causes a concrete pool deck to flake after winter?
Water in the concrete freezes and builds pressure, and when that pressure has nowhere to go, the top can pop loose and flake. National guidance on concrete durability says entrained air, tiny evenly spread air pockets built into the mix, gives that pressure room to ease off. Ask every bidder, us included, whether the deck mix has entrained air.
Which office handles pool deck permits in O'Fallon MO?
The city's Building Division handles permits for small projects, and its list names fences, decks, and pools and hot tubs, not concrete pool decks, so ask that office what your project needs. Grading and land disturbance permits go through the city's Engineering Department instead, and the fire district covering your address may require its own permit. We check with the offices that cover your address before we schedule and handle the paperwork when a permit is needed.
