It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark: Plan ahead.

When summer hits St. Louis, the pool is where memories are made. But a cracked or unattractive deck can ruin the experience. At Ortmann Concrete, we’ve helped homeowners create custom concrete pool decks in St. Louis that look amazing, feel safe, and hold up for years.

January might seem like an odd time to think about your swimming pool, but it’s also the best time to contact companies like Ortmann Concrete and discuss the advantages of installing a custom concrete pool deck. Once the weather gets warmer, we get busy and stay busy until late autumn. It is to your advantage to get on our schedule sooner rather than later. Custom concrete pool decks in St. Louis are in high demand. 

Why is Concrete the Best Choice for Pool Decks?

We’ve seen many materials fade, chip, or crack under Missouri’s swings from heat to freezing. But properly installed and sealed concrete stands up to it all. Today’s techniques allow us to mimic natural stone or tile with stamped or colored finishes. That combination of durability, flexibility, and cost makes concrete a go-to for pool decks in our region.

Why Hire Local Experts Like Ortmann Concrete?

A deck is only as good as the team that installs it. We live here too. And we’ve worked with St. Louis soil, drainage issues, freeze/thaw cycles, and local codes for decades. Our crew knows what works—and what doesn’t—in this area. We’re fully insured, bonded, and committed to doing the job right.

Safety & Comfort Are Priorities

When our team designs a deck, we think about more than style. We prioritize slip-resistant textures and surfaces that don’t get unbearably hot under bare feet. Because your deck isn’t just for looks—it’s where people walk, lounge, and play.

Real Customers, Real Experience

Hearing directly from homeowners matters. Here are a few comments from people we’ve worked with:

“Fantastic. They’re dedicated to getting the job done right, no corners cut, and it looks great! … the best pricing by far.” (Angi)

“Hands down one of the best, most customer-centric companies I’ve ever dealt with! I’ll recommend them to everyone I know and then some!” (Yelp)

“They were always on time, very courteous … We replaced it with a concrete patio that we had colorized and stamped … We absolutely love our new outdoor living space!!” (Angi)

“Looking for recommendations for driveway, garage, and concrete work? Ortmann Concrete is the way to go! I had issues with my sinking garage floor, cracked driveway, and broken front porch, all due to soil erosion. Ortmann Concrete did an amazing job breaking up the concrete, backfilling, and laying new concrete. The job site was left spotless, the workers were friendly and skilled, and the owner was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!” (nextdoor.com)

We take pride in that feedback. It’s one thing to talk quality—it’s another when people you live near say it publicly.

What Does Ortmann Concrete’s Process Look Like?

We’re glad you asked! Here’s how we handle your pool deck project:

Consultation & Design — We meet with you, discuss your ideas, inspect your yard, and outline your options.

Site Prep & Reinforcement — We excavate, grade, install wire mesh or rebar, and ensure drainage.

Pouring & Finishing — We set forms, pour the concrete, and apply stamping, coloring, or texture as chosen.

Curing & Sealing — We allow proper curing time, then apply a protective sealant to extend the life of your deck.

Usually, the job takes one to two weeks, depending on the weather and scale.

Long-Term Value & Ease of Maintenance

Concrete pool decks offer excellent value. They’re more affordable than stone or tile and, with proper sealing every 2–3 years, they resist wear, water, and chemical damage. A quick pressure wash now and then keeps them looking sharp. Small cracks? We repair them early so they don’t expand.

A beautiful, durable deck also adds appeal to your home—if you ever go to sell, it elevates how your outdoor space feels to buyers.
