Los Angeles Pool Construction designs and installs pool decks and hardscape throughout Westchester, Playa del Rey, and the Westside fringe. The deck is the part of the pool you actually live on, and on a compact lot it has to earn every square foot while standing up to sun, water, and bare feet. We build concrete, paver, and stone decks with real drainage, slip-resistant finishes, and clean integration into the rest of a small yard.

On a compact lot, the deck is the room
A pool and its deck are one connected space, and on a Southwest LA lot that connection is everything. The deck is where you lounge, gather, and move around the water, and when the yard is modest, a poorly planned deck wastes the little space you have. A great pool ringed by a cramped or awkward deck never lives up to what the backyard could be.
Because we design and build both, we plan the deck and the pool as one. The coping, the deck material, the grade, and the drainage are coordinated so the finished space works as a whole, which is hard to pull off when the deck is bid separately after the pool is already in the ground.
We lay out the deck around how you will use the yard: where the lounge chairs go, where people stand and talk, how you reach the house and the side gate. On a small lot, that thoughtful layout is what turns a strip of concrete into a backyard you actually live in.
Materials that hold up to sun and feet
Pool decks take a beating: constant sun, splashing water, and bare feet all day long. The material has to handle all of that while staying comfortable and safe to walk on. We build in broom-finished and decorative concrete, pavers, and natural stone, and we help you weigh look, grip, heat, and budget against one another.
Slip resistance matters most right at the waterline, so we specify finishes that stay grippy when wet. Heat matters too in the LA sun, since some materials get genuinely uncomfortable underfoot in summer, and we factor that into what we recommend, especially on a small deck where there is less room to find shade.
Whatever the material, the install quality is what makes a deck last. Proper base prep, control joints, and careful finishing are what keep a deck from cracking, settling, or heaving as the years pass.
Drainage and grade detailing
The most important part of a deck is the part hidden under it: the grading and the drainage. A deck that does not shed water properly leaves standing puddles, invites staining, and lets water work beneath the surface where it causes settling and cracking over time.
We grade every deck to drain away from the pool and the house, set drains where the layout needs them, and build the base so the deck stays level and sound for years. It is unglamorous work, and it is precisely what separates a deck that lasts from one that fails early no matter how good the surface looked on day one.

How this service ties into the whole pool construction
A pool is a design-build project, so pool deck installation rarely stands alone, it connects to inground pool construction, updating an aging pool, reshaping the pool, replastering the pool, pool equipment installation, and our crew handles all of it as one accountable team. We bring the same service to Pool Deck Installation in Westchester, Playa Del Rey pool deck installation, Del Rey pool deck installation, Pool Deck Installation in Sawtelle and everywhere else across the Los Angeles area.
