01
Starting point
A broad deck with a tired finish
The concrete still served the space, but the faded surface made the entire pool area feel worn. The opportunity was to restore its character without replacing the deck.

Decorative pool-deck restoration
A faded pool surround became a warmer, more finished outdoor space with layered color, a contrasting border, and the original concrete still visible beneath the design.

What changed
02
Work in progress
Color built by hand around the details
The finish was worked across the field and carefully brushed around the slide, cover track, edges, and other transitions. Those details are where an outdoor project either looks intentional or unfinished.
03
Finished result
Warm variation around bright blue water
The completed deck carries warm, natural movement instead of a flat painted appearance. The darker border frames the pool and gives the whole backyard a more finished center.
