What Does a Pool Deck Cost in the Phoenix Area?
· 2 min read · Deck Builders LLC
The honest answer is "it depends", so here is what it depends on, with the price ranges we typically see locally.
What drives the price
- Surface: The biggest variable, from plain concrete to natural stone.
- What is there now: Tearing out and hauling away an old deck adds cost.
- Preparation: Cracks and damaged areas must be repaired before a coating goes on.
- Size and shape: Curves and multiple levels take more labor than a rectangle.
- Access: A narrow side gate means more carrying and more time.
- Features: Drainage, seating walls, decorative borders and fire pits.
Typical ranges per square foot
- Broom-finish concrete: $6 to $10. Durable and plain, and it gets hot.
- Cool-deck coating over existing concrete: $8 to $15, more if the slab needs significant repair.
- Concrete pavers: $12 to $25 installed.
- Stamped concrete: $15 to $25.
- Travertine pavers: $20 to $40 or more.
For a 700-square-foot deck, that is roughly $4,200 at the plain end and $28,000 or more for premium travertine.
These are general market ranges, not a quote. Prices change with materials and site conditions. We give you a firm, itemized price after seeing the pool.
What a quote should include
- Scope: Demolition, repair, new surface or coating.
- Materials: The specific product, color and sealer.

- Drainage: Where water will go.
- Cleanup and haul-away.
- Warranty: On materials and workmanship.
- Payment schedule: Tied to progress.
If a quote is one line and one number, ask for the detail. You cannot compare two quotes that do not say what they include.
