Estimates only. Local pricing, site conditions and code requirements change the real number.
The formula
Cost = area x material rate + demolition + drainage + permit
Pool decks need positive drainage away from the water and a slip-resistant surface — both are code requirements in most jurisdictions, not upgrades.
Worked example
A 700 sq ft paver pool deck replacing an old concrete slab runs about $14,000 to $20,000.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a pool deck cost?
Concrete pool decks run $10 to $18 per square foot installed in 2026; pavers and travertine run $18 to $30.
Do I need a permit for a pool deck?
Usually yes, because the deck is part of the pool barrier and drainage plan. Resurfacing an existing deck in place often does not require one.
