Pool Deck Resurfacing and Refinishing in Austin
Your pool deck may still be solid underneath, but the top tells a different story. Maybe the old coating is peeling, the surface is stained and faded, or hairline cracks have spread across the slab. Pool deck resurfacing fixes the surface you see and walk on, so you get a deck that looks new without the cost and mess of a full tear-out.
We handle pool deck refinishing, restoration, and remodeling for homes around Austin. That includes crack and edge repair, fresh cool deck coatings, spray-knockdown textures, stamped overlays, and sealing. If your deck is past saving or you are building a new pool, see our page on new concrete pool decks instead.

We had Ean and crew add an extension to our driveway and reroute sprinklers. The work was slows down by city permits issues but they were very patient with that and finished soon after permits were approved. Very happy with the work. Would use them again in a second.

Ean and his crew were great to work with. Newly poured driveway included a beautiful glued rock drain which not only protects but adds a touch of color to the concrete. Would highly recommend 512 Luxury Landscape Design.

Several friends referred me to 512 Luxury Landscape Design for my latest home improvement project and we're glad they did. They installed a concrete sidewalk, outdoor wall sconce, and river rock landscape treatment. We think landscaping with rock is great because it cuts down on maintenance of having to add mulch seasonally. Fair pricing, great communication, and creative design ideas is why it was a pleasure working with Ian and his entire team. We highly recommend Luxury Landscape Design the next time you want to elevate your outdoor space.

Ian was so easy to work with and really communicative. We had our backyard redone with sod and he found the grass that would work best for our yard and gave us in depth instructions on how to make sure it roots and grows. His team was efficient and they did a fantastic job. We’re so excited to see how it does and would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for landscape design.

Ean and his crew were quick, efficient, respectful, and easy to deal with. He gave a fair price for a sod install. He showed up on time, did the work as agreed upfront, and left us with the nice lawn to enjoy. Thanks Ean and crew!

Ean and the team at 512 Luxury & Design exceeded my expectations. He walked through the project with me, listened to my ideas, and added his own expert input. He then put everything together in a digital format and sent it over for review. When the team arrived, they brought the vision to life flawlessly. I highly recommend Ean and his team for their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail!

512 Luxury landscaping is a solid choice in your landscaping and construction needs! Ean and his crew do impeccable work, kind, timely, and is the best contractor I’ve ever worked with! What sets Ean apart is that he aims to educate the client. I’ve worked with many contractors that just do-as-told and then show up with their crew and you’re in shock, not knowing the process and procedures. Construction and landscaping is much more meticulous, strategic and demands strong communication than the novice knows- until they experience it for the first time. Ean is professional, communicative, has creativity and a best-bang-for-your-buck-attitude. There were times when I needed someone to step in a take control and he knew exactly when to do this- whilst simultaneously balancing knowing that as the customers, we need full transparency of what needs to happen and what to expect. Ean was additionally helpful calling out prior contractors incorrect work. So much to the point where I was empowered with the knowledge he gave me to call-out said contractors to come back and do the job the right way. You can’t go wrong with 512 luxury landscaping. I’ve referred many friends to them and hope this review is helpful to you making your decision on hiring a contractor.

I couldn’t be happier with the work 512 Luxury Landscape Design did on my backyard. They designed a stunning outdoor living area complete with a fire pit, custom stonework, and gorgeous plant selections.

Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!

- Margo Wickersham Google review ·Read on Google: review by Margo Wickersham (opens in a new tab)
Ean Nambo has a great eye for design and practicality that is more important for Austin area homeowners now than ever. We had a functional problem of water pooling at our front door during heavy rains. We had a design problem of a front yard that was 20% grass and 80% weeds that required mowing and turned brown during droughts. I challenged Ean to help me create a xeriscaped front yard that diverts water away from our house and into the street and that looks like the updated and modern home that we've created. I wanted to avoid installing a lawn that would be thirsty for water in our climate and I had some ideas for including a dry creek running through the property. I am thrilled with the results! I love the look and the dry creek bed did its job during a recent deluge. Ean had ideas to make the most of a courtyard area that converted the space into an additional gathering area and I couldn't be happier with the result. He also included dramatic landscape lighting installation that showcases the lovely texture of the limestone exterior and the grace of our live oaks that have survived the recent freezes. I wanted to avoid over planting, so as we planted a few things. I'm happy with this strategy, because I can see which plants work best in which areas for future plantings. Rarely can a homeowner say they are so happy with the results of working with a landscape company, so I am thrilled to share met experience with others considering 512 Luxury Landscaping.

Designing and Building Since 2018
One in-house team designs and builds your project, so there is no handoff between a designer and a separate crew. The owner stays involved from the first walk-through to the final cleanup.
We Fix the Slab Before We Coat It
We check for cracks, loose spots, and a failed joint at the coping before any new finish goes down. Then we repair what we find and prep the surface so the coating bonds well. We will also tell you plainly if your deck needs to be replaced instead of resurfaced.
Concrete Pool Deck Resurfacing in Austin, TX
RENEW THE POOL DECK YOU ALREADY HAVEConcrete pool decks take a beating in Central Texas. Sun, pool water, and shifting clay soil wear down the surface long before the slab itself gives out. As a concrete contractor in Austin, 512 Luxury Landscape Design resurfaces worn pool decks so they look clean, stay cooler underfoot, and give you good grip when wet.
Pool Deck Resurfacing vs. Replacement
The big question is whether your slab is sound. Resurfacing puts a new top layer over the concrete you already have. It works well when the deck is mostly level and the damage is on the surface: stains, fading, worn texture, peeling coating, or small cracks.
Pool deck replacement makes more sense when the slab itself has failed. Watch for sections that have sunk or heaved, wide cracks where one side sits higher than the other, or water that drains toward the pool or house. A new coating cannot fix a slab that is still moving, and the cracks will come right back through it. In that case we remove the old deck and pour a new concrete pool deck with the right base and slope.
Signs Your Pool Deck Needs Resurfacing
- The old cool deck or spray coating is peeling, flaking, or worn smooth.
- Hairline cracks are spreading across the surface.
- The deck is stained, faded, or blotchy and will not come clean.
- The surface feels slick when wet or too hot to stand on in summer.
- The joint between the deck and the pool coping is cracked, open, or missing.
- Chips and rough spots near the pool edge catch bare feet.
Cool Deck Resurfacing in Austin
Cool deck is a textured, light-colored coating made for pool areas. It reflects more sunlight than plain concrete, so it stays more comfortable for bare feet during an Austin summer. Many people call it Kool Deck, which is a brand name that became the common term for this type of finish. Over time the coating wears thin, stains, or starts to flake. Cool deck resurfacing strips away loose material, repairs the concrete, and puts down a fresh coat. We also apply cool deck finishes on new pool decks, so the same option is there whether you are renewing a deck or building one.
Spray Deck Resurfacing (Spray-Knockdown Finish)
A spray deck finish is a thin cement-based coating that is sprayed onto the deck and then flattened lightly with a trowel. This "knockdown" step leaves a textured pattern that gives your feet grip without feeling sharp. Spray-knockdown finishes come in a range of colors, and lighter shades help keep the surface cooler. It is a popular way to cover old stains and small cracks and give a plain gray deck a finished look.
Stamped Concrete Pool Deck Resurfacing
If you want the look of stone, slate, or tile around your pool, a stamped overlay can get you there without pouring a new slab. We spread a thin layer of overlay material over the prepared deck, press a pattern into it, then add color and seal it. If you already have a stamped concrete deck that has faded, we can clean, recolor, and reseal it to bring back the pattern. For patterns and color ideas, see our stamped and decorative concrete page.
Pool Deck Refinishing and Sealing
Not every deck needs a whole new surface. Sometimes a deep clean, crack repair, fresh color, and a new coat of sealer are enough. Concrete pool deck refinishing like this helps protect the surface from pool water, stains, and sun fading. How often a deck needs resealing depends on the product and how much sun and foot traffic it gets. We will give you simple care tips when the job is done.
Pool Deck Crack, Edge, and Coping Repair
Where the deck meets the pool coping, there should be a flexible joint that lets the two move a little on their own. When that joint cracks or goes missing, water can get under the deck and the edge can start to chip or lift. We clean out the old joint, repair broken concrete along the edge, and reseal it with a flexible sealant. We also patch cracks across the deck so they do not show through your new finish.
Our Pool Deck Resurfacing Process
- Inspection and Estimate
We walk the deck with you, check the slab and coping joint, and tell you if resurfacing or replacement is the better fit.
- Repair and Prep
We protect the pool and nearby surfaces, remove loose coating, clean the concrete, and repair cracks and edges.
- New Finish
We apply your chosen finish, whether that is cool deck, spray-knockdown, or a stamped overlay, with a slip-resistant texture.
- Seal and Walkthrough
We seal the surface, walk through the finished deck with you, and tell you when it is ready for use.
What Affects the Cost of Pool Deck Resurfacing
Every deck is different, so we price each job after we see it. The main things that affect cost are:
- The size and shape of the deck
- How much crack, edge, and coping repair it needs
- How hard the old coating is to remove
- The finish you choose, since stamped overlays take more work than a spray or cool deck coat
- Access to the backyard for equipment and materials
Our estimates are free, and we will explain what each option includes so you can compare them side by side.

Get Started with Your Pool DeckWhy Austin Heat and Clay Soil Wear Out Pool Decks
Long Austin summers are hard on pool deck coatings. Strong sun fades color and breaks down sealers, and plain or worn concrete can get too hot to walk on by midday. That is why we lean toward light-colored cool deck and spray finishes that reflect more sunlight and stay more comfortable underfoot.
The clay soil under many Austin yards swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries out. That movement is often what cracks a pool deck or pulls it away from the coping. Before we resurface, we look at how the slab has moved. We repair cracks and reseal the coping joint so your new finish has a solid start, and we tell you if the slab has moved too much to resurface.
- Summer heat and sun handled with light, reflective cool deck and spray-knockdown finishes.
- Clay soil movement addressed with crack repair and a flexible joint at the coping.
- Wet-surface safety improved with textured, slip-resistant finishes.
- Faded, stained decks renewed with fresh color and sealer.
- We resurface pool decks across Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Oak Hill.

Pool Deck Resurfacing FAQs
Should I resurface or replace my pool deck?
If the slab is mostly level and the damage is on the surface, resurfacing is usually the better value. If sections have sunk or heaved, cracks are wide and uneven, or water drains toward the pool or house, replacement is the safer choice. We check your deck in person and give you a straight answer.
Is Kool Deck the same as cool deck?
People use the names for the same kind of finish. Kool Deck is a brand name, and "cool deck" is the general term for a light, textured pool deck coating that stays cooler than plain concrete. We can resurface an old cool deck finish or apply one to a new deck.
What is a spray deck finish?
A spray deck, or spray-knockdown finish, is a thin cement-based coating sprayed onto the concrete and then lightly troweled flat. It leaves a textured surface with good grip for wet feet. It is a common way to renew a plain or stained pool deck.
Can you resurface a stamped concrete pool deck?
Yes. If the stamped finish is faded but the slab is sound, we can clean, recolor, and reseal it. We can also add a new stamped overlay on top of a plain concrete deck to give it a stone or slate look.
Can you repair the edge of my concrete pool deck?
Yes. We fix chipped or broken edges and replace the cracked joint between the deck and the pool coping with a flexible sealant. That joint keeps water out from under the deck, so fixing it is one of the most important parts of the job.
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Austin?
It depends on the size of the deck, how much repair it needs, how hard the old coating is to remove, and the finish you pick. We give free estimates after we see the deck, so you know the price before any work starts.
