Concrete pool decks in Hesperia CA - an even surface that holds up in the sun
Cracked, flaking or uneven concrete around your pool? We resurface a sound deck or pour new and finish it at the right time.
- Fully licensed and insured.
- Free estimates at your property.
- We respond within 1 business day.
Should you resurface or pour a new deck?
If your old deck is sound underneath, I'll tell you resurfacing might be enough. If it's broken, sunk or lifting, we pour new, and I'll show you which you've got.
Resurfacing is enough when:
- The slab is solid underneath
- Cracks are thin and few
- The surface is worn or faded
- No sections have sunk or lifted
- You want a fresh look for less
A new deck is better when:
- Big sections have sunk or lifted
- Cracks are wide and still growing
- Pieces are breaking loose
- The surface is uneven to walk on
- You're changing the deck's shape or size
How a pool deck job goes
You call me
I answer the phone myself, and if I miss you I call you back, so we can set a time for me to come see the deck.
A time to meet
I look at your pool area
I come out, look at the deck, ask how you use the pool and walk you through resurfacing or new concrete and what each one changes.
Your options explained
You get the estimate
I write the estimate myself, so you see the work, the finish and the price laid out before you decide anything.
A written estimate
Permit and pour plan
Once you say go, we take care of any permit, because Hesperia won't let permitted work start until it's issued, then plan the pour around the day's conditions.
A planned pour day
Pour, finish and walk-through
Our crew pours and finishes the deck with me on site, then I walk the finished job with you and we clean up before we leave.

What a concrete pool deck job includes
Tearing out the old deck
If the old deck is coming out, we break it up and haul it away so the new slab starts clean.
Digging out the base
We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, the same way we would for a slab foundation.
Forms and rebar
We set forms to the shape around your pool and lay rebar, steel that holds the slab together if it cracks.
Pouring and finishing
We pour and finish promptly, with a broom finish, light grooves dragged across the top that give wet feet some grip.
Cutting control joints
We cut the joints while the timing is right, so cracks land in the grooves instead of across the middle.
Curing and clean-up
We let the slab cure, the wait before use while it hardens and gains strength, then clean up the site.
What changes the price of a pool deck?
Size and shape drive most of the price, along with whether we resurface a sound slab or tear out and pour new, and how easy it is to get concrete into your backyard. Curves take more forming than straight runs, and extras like concrete steps to the back door add to it. Timing turns on any permit and the weather. You'll see your own figure in the estimate.
When a budget gets tight, the first thing people want to cut is base work, because nobody sees it on pour day. I'd rather you pick a plainer finish, because a nice top on a base that was only raked level will settle and crack with the dirt under it.
Why Hesperia homeowners call us for pool decks
C&L Hesperia Concrete Company is based in Hesperia, and I've run it since 2017, after teaching myself the basics and learning the rest beside crews on real jobs. I come out to look at your deck and write the estimate, our own crew does the work, and I'm on site running it.
Concrete is hard to undo once it sets, so I'd rather answer your questions twice before the pour than have you surprised after. If you're ready to talk about your deck, call (442) 267-8610 or use the form below.

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Hesperia?
A concrete pool deck usually costs about $6 to $13 per square foot in the Riverside area, covering materials, labor and site prep. That's the going rate for the region, not our price, and the deck's size, any tear-out and the finish decide where yours lands. I'll give you your own figure at the estimate.
How do I know if my old pool deck can be resurfaced?
It can be resurfaced if the slab underneath is still sound enough to take a coating, and resurfacing is a cheaper way to refresh the surface and fix its flaws. Ask whether yours qualifies before you price new concrete. I'll tell you straight once I've seen it.
Is it normal for a new concrete pool deck to crack?
Yes, some cracking is normal on any slab, and so is a little curling, where the edges lift slightly, and neither one by itself means the work was poor. The control joints we cut are there so most cracks land in the grooves. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job, so call me if something looks wrong.
What is the best way to pour concrete around a pool in summer heat?
Pour early in the morning and finish promptly, using windbreaks and sunshades, because the usual hot-weather advice is that these lower the chance of cracks as fresh concrete dries. Crews also dampen the forms and the subgrade first and can ask the ready-mix supplier about hot-weather mixes. Ask any bidder how they'll schedule and shade your pour.
Do I need a permit for a concrete pool deck in Hesperia?
The city's list doesn't settle it, so we ask the city's building office before we start. Hesperia Building & Safety issues permits for pools 18 inches deep or more and lists sidewalks and driveways as permit-free, but pool decks aren't on that list. In Hesperia only the owner, the owner's licensed contractor or an authorized agent can get a permit, and when one's needed we pull it as your licensed contractor and schedule the inspections.
What license should a concrete pool deck contractor have in California?
Look for a contractor licensed by the state contractors board in the concrete class, which covers forming, pouring, placing and finishing flat concrete like a pool deck. Ask each bidder which license class they hold. We're fully licensed and insured.
