Concrete Pool Decks in Redondo Beach CA - a surface that grips under wet feet
Cracked, slippery or sinking deck around your pool? We check the slab first, then repour or coat it with a finish chosen for wet feet.
Concrete pool decks, new or resurfaced
Essential Redondo Beach Concrete builds and resurfaces concrete pool decks in Redondo Beach and the cities around it across the South Bay. Most calls are about cracks, a sunken section, or a deck that's slick or too hot for bare feet. Before we talk about a coating, I check whether the old slab is moving or badly cracked, since a new surface won't hide that for long.
The price and your time out of the pool turn on that answer, then on the deck's size, the finish and any concrete steps down to the yard. Your estimate shows each part.
What a concrete pool deck job covers
Here's what a pool deck job can include, from tearing out the old slab to the finish your feet will feel.
Tear-out and forms
When the old deck has to go, we break it out and haul it, then set forms along the pool edge so the new slab sits at the right height.
Base and slope
We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the deck sits on, and slope the surface so water runs off instead of toward the house.
Grip when wet
A broom finish, grooves pulled across fresh concrete, gives wet feet something to hold. One concrete finish guide says a stamped deck also needs a non-slip additive in its sealer.
Cool deck coating
Over a sound slab, a cool deck coating adds texture, so the surface soaks up less heat and isn't as slick under bare feet.

(424) 275-6479How we run a pool deck job
We start with the ground under your deck and the way water leaves it, with the same care we'd give a slab foundation.
- I write your estimate myself. I come out to look at the deck and write the estimate, and I'm on the job while our crew forms, pours and finishes.
- In business since 2020. We've been in business since 2020, after side jobs for neighbors turned into steady work as word got around.
- Licensed and insured for your yard. We're licensed and insured, and the state licensing board lists a separate concrete class for crews who pour and finish flat slabs like this.
- Pours planned around the heat. We schedule pours away from the midday heat, because concrete finished hot can end up with a weak, dusty top.
- A call to get started. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and a call to (424) 275-6479 is how you set up a visit.

From first call to walk-through
I explain each step before asking anything of you, and we tell you what we've learned, including the permit answer, before any work begins.
The visit
You call or send a note, and I come out to look over the site. I'll ask how you use the pool and who's walking on the deck, since that shapes the finish we suggest.
The estimate
I write the estimate so you can see the prep, the finish and what's included. If a coating won't hold up on your slab, I say so there rather than price one anyway.
The work
Once you're ready, we look into the permit question for your address and share what we found before anything starts. Then we prep the ground, pour and finish, and I walk the deck with you before we leave.
Pool deck questions from Redondo Beach
Should I coat my old pool deck or pour a new one in Redondo Beach?
Coat it only if the slab underneath is sound. A coating isn't a structural fix, so cracks already there will show through in time, and a deck that's moving, settling or has several wide cracks needs repair before any coating goes on. I check for that first at the visit.
Will a new concrete pool deck crack?
It can, because joints control where concrete cracks, not whether it does. Control joints, grooves cut partway into the slab, give cracks a straight line to follow. Ask any crew when they'll saw the joints, since cuts made too late let random cracks start first.
How do I apply for a permit in Redondo Beach?
Apply online through the city's Iworq permit portal, since Redondo Beach no longer takes its old paper application. For questions about a deck project, the city's Building line is (310) 318-0636. We find out what your address needs, handle the paperwork when a permit is required, and tell you what we learned before work starts.
How much does a concrete pool deck cost in the Los Angeles area?
A concrete pool deck in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $4.50 to $10 per square foot, which is what the market runs, not our quote. Where yours lands depends on whether the old deck comes out and which finish you choose. Your estimate shows the prep, the finish and what's included.
How long does it take to resurface or replace a pool deck?
One concrete finish guide puts a coating at about 1 to 2 days of work and a full new pour at 5 to 7 days. If your slab is sound, that shorter time out of the pool is a fair reason to coat instead of replacing.
