Concrete pool decks in Burbank CA: replace, extend or resurface

Most pool deck calls in Burbank are about an older deck: slabs that have cracked into pieces, sections that have tipped toward the water, a coping joint that has opened up, or a surface that has faded and gone rough. Some decks are being widened for lounge chairs or a dining area, and some are being replaced as part of a pool remodel. The first question is always the same: is the concrete underneath still sound and draining the right way?

Sections have lifted or sunk, leaving edges people catch a toe on.
The deck tilts toward the pool, so rain and splash wash dirt into the water.
Cracks run from the coping outward, or the coping itself is loose.
The surface is flaking, stained or too rough to walk on barefoot.
The deck is too narrow for chairs, a table or a path around the pool.

If only the top is worn, a resurfacing coat may be enough; the driveway resurfacing page explains how to tell a sound slab from a failing one, and the same test applies to decks. Broken or tilted sections call for concrete repair in Burbank or a full replacement.

A deck you can walk on in August

Burbank's airport station averages an 88.9°F high in August, 53.9 days a year at 90°F or more and 7.2 days at 100°F or more. Around a pool, that turns the deck color and texture into a comfort question as much as a style one.

Finishes, from coolest and grippiest

A light broom finish stays coolest and gives good grip when wet. Exposed aggregate in pale stone is close behind and hides wear well. Textured acrylic deck coatings, sprayed or troweled over sound concrete, add a cooler, softer surface and come in light colors. Stamped concrete looks the most like stone but holds more heat in darker colors and needs a sealer with grit to stay safe near water; the stamped concrete in Burbank page covers patterns and sealers.

The coping joint and the pool shell

The pool shell and the deck are separate pieces of concrete that move differently as they heat, cool and settle. Where the deck meets the coping, a flexible sealant joint lets them move without the deck pushing on the coping. When that sealant dries out, water gets under the deck edge and the coping starts to loosen. Re-sealing that one joint is the cheapest maintenance a deck gets.

How a deck replacement goes

1
Protect the pool
The water line, coping and equipment are covered so dust and broken concrete stay out of the pool and the filter.
2
Break out and haul
The old deck is saw-cut away from the coping and removed, by machine if there's access and by wheelbarrow if there isn't.
3
Base, drains and slope
The base is compacted and graded to fall away from the pool, and deck drains or drain lines go in before any concrete.
4
Forms, steel and the coping edge
Forms set the outer edge and the finished height against the coping; rebar sits on chairs mid-slab.
5
Pour and texture
The deck is placed, struck off and given its finish: broom, exposed aggregate, stamped texture or a surface ready for a coating.
6
Joints and sealant
Control joints are cut, and the gap at the coping is filled with a flexible sealant once the concrete has cured enough.

Worked example

Replacing a lifted 600 sq ft deck behind a west-side ranch house

A 1950s pool behind a single-story house has a deck that has cracked into a dozen pieces, two of them tipped toward the water. The only way into the backyard is a 4 foot side gate, so the old concrete goes out by wheelbarrow and the new concrete comes in through a pump hose.

The new deck is a light broom finish with a pale exposed aggregate band at the coping, sloped away from the pool to two deck drains, with the coping joint sealed once the slab has cured.

Saw-cut and remove the old deck, 600 sq ft at $1.40 to $2.30	$840 to $1,380
New deck, 600 sq ft at $15 to $20	$9,000 to $12,000
Pump truck, no driveway access to the backyard	$500 to $900
Total, before any permit	$10,340 to $14,280

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Burbank?

About $15 to $20 per square foot installed in 2026, or $7,500 to $24,000 for a typical 500 to 1,200 square foot deck, per constructlytools' Los Angeles guide (updated May 19, 2026). Removing an old deck adds $1.40 to $2.30 a foot, and a pump truck ($500 to $900) is common when the pool sits behind the house. Quotes vary by site.

Which concrete finish stays coolest around a Burbank pool?

Light colors and textured surfaces. Dark stamped colors absorb more sun, and Burbank's airport station averages 7.2 days a year at 100°F or more. A light broom finish, exposed aggregate in a pale stone, or a textured acrylic deck coating over sound concrete are the usual ways to keep a deck walkable barefoot.

What is the joint between the deck and the pool coping?

A flexible sealant joint where the deck meets the coping. The deck and the pool shell move separately as they heat, cool and settle, and the soft joint lets them, instead of the deck shoving against the coping and cracking it. When it dries out or pulls loose, resealing it is cheap maintenance.

Can a cracked pool deck be resurfaced instead of replaced?

If the slab is sound, level and draining away from the pool, a resurfacing coat can renew a worn or stained top. If sections have lifted, sunk toward the pool or broken into pieces, resurfacing just copies the problem, and those sections need to come out.

Does a pool deck need its own drains?

The deck has to slope away from the pool so splash and rain don't run back into the water, and that water needs a place to go: deck drains, a planted area or a drain line. In a tight Burbank backyard with a house on one side and a fence on the other, deck drains are often the only practical outlet.

How long before the pool can be used after a new deck?

The pool itself can usually stay filled and in use once the deck forms are stripped and the surface is safe to walk on, often within a few days. Heavy furniture and any coating or sealer wait for the concrete to cure; the schedule belongs on the written quote.
