Concrete Pool Decks in Lee's Summit, MO
LS Concrete Contractors installs concrete pool decks for residential properties in Lee's Summit and the Kansas City metro. Pool deck concrete lives in one of the most demanding environments a residential slab faces — wet, chemically exposed, and freeze-thaw stressed every winter.

The Finished Project
A pool deck that works as hard as the pool does.
A concrete pool deck makes the whole outdoor pool experience better — safer footing on wet surfaces, cleaner transitions between the pool and yard, and a surface that handles chemical exposure, foot traffic, and KC winters without deteriorating early.
Residential
Pool deck concrete designed for the conditions around your pool.
A pool deck has to handle foot traffic on wet surfaces, drainage away from the pool and toward yard drains, expansion joint movement at the pool bond beam, UV exposure, and pool chemical contact — all while looking good through repeated freeze-thaw cycles in KC winters.
We install new pool decks for both new and existing pools, replace deteriorating decks, and handle repairs to pool deck concrete that has cracked or settled. Finish options include broom texture, slip-resistant exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete for areas away from the pool edge.
Common Situations
When pool owners call about decking
- › Installing a new in-ground pool and need the surrounding deck poured
- › Existing pool deck is cracked, scaling, or settled in spots
- › Pool deck surface has become slippery or unsafe for bare feet
- › Expanding or reshaping the deck area around an existing pool
- › Old deck concrete is staining from pool water or chemical runoff
- › Drainage from the current deck is directing water toward the house or pooling
Technical Factors
What pool deck concrete must handle
Slip Resistance
The finish texture is a safety consideration, not just aesthetic. Broom texture is standard near pool edges. Stamped finishes in social areas need an appropriate release agent for texture and slip resistance.
Pool Expansion Joint
Concrete is poured to within a few inches of the pool bond beam, with an expansion joint installed in between. This allows the pool shell and the deck to move independently without cracking each other.
Drainage Design
Pool deck should drain away from the pool at minimum 1.5% slope, directing water to a catch basin or yard drainage point. Pooling water near pool equipment or near the house creates freeze damage and foundation concerns.
Chemical and Seal Resistance
Pool water chemistry is aggressive. Concrete sealed appropriately for chemical exposure and resealed on schedule holds up significantly longer than unsealed deck concrete in the same conditions.
Lee's Summit / KC Context
KC pool decks — freeze-thaw plus chemical exposure is a demanding combination
Kansas City pools are typically closed for 5–6 months of the year. During that period, the deck concrete is exposed to freeze-thaw stress without the protective benefit of pool water temperature moderation. Combine that with pool chemical residue that wasn't fully washed off before closing, and you have a particularly aggressive environment for concrete that isn't properly sealed and specified. We address both during the design and install.
What We Handle
Pool deck finish options
Broom Finish
The standard for pool edges — reliable slip resistance, simple appearance, and low maintenance. Works well for the full deck or combined with other finishes for differentiated zones.
Exposed Aggregate
Stone aggregate revealed at the surface for texture and visual interest. Durable and slip-resistant. More visually varied than broom finish without the maintenance requirements of stamped concrete.
Stamped Concrete
Patterns work well for social areas and lounge zones away from the pool edge. Paired with color for a premium outdoor living look. Requires periodic resealing, especially in pool environments.
Salt Finish
Subtle stippled texture created by pressing rock salt into fresh concrete and washing it off after curing. Provides reliable texture with an understated look suitable near pool edges.
