Pool decks and larger properties in West Lake
The properties in West Lake are larger, the back yards are the point of the house, and the work here reflects that: pool surrounds, outdoor kitchen slabs, and patios sized for entertaining rather than for a table and two chairs.
A pool deck has requirements a patio does not. It has to stay usable underfoot when wet and it should not be so smooth that it is a liability, which means a salt or broom texture rather than a steel-trowel finish. It also needs an expansion joint at the coping, because the pool shell and the deck move independently.
What we are asked for most here: Pool decks, large patios, outdoor kitchen slabs.
What we install in West Lake
Pool decks and surrounds
- Concrete Pool Decks — the surround that has to stay cool and non-slip when wet
- Salt Finish Concrete — rock salt pressed in then washed out, leaving small pits
- Stamped Concrete — a texture pressed into the surface while the slab is still plastic
- Concrete Patios — a poured slab sized to the furniture and the door it serves
Surfaces
- Concrete Patios — a poured slab sized to the furniture and the door it serves
- Concrete Driveways — a slab built for vehicle loads, not foot traffic
- Concrete Walkways — a path from the street or drive to the door
- Concrete Pool Decks — the surround that has to stay cool and non-slip when wet

Finishes
- Stamped Concrete — a texture pressed into the surface while the slab is still plastic
- Exposed Aggregate Concrete — stone brought to the surface by washing back the cement paste

- Polished Concrete — mechanically ground and densified, an interior finish
- Concrete Overlay — a thin cementitious layer over sound existing concrete
Repair and replacement
- Concrete Crack Repair — routing and filling cracks that are stable, and identifying those that are not
- Concrete Resurfacing — a new wearing surface over a sound slab
- Concrete Sealing — a protective coat against water, salt and staining
- Concrete Leveling — lifting a settled slab back to grade instead of replacing it
- Concrete Driveway Replacement — full removal and repour when repair no longer makes sense
- Concrete Removal — breaking out and hauling away an existing slab
Commercial
- Commercial Concrete — flatwork for businesses, HOAs and property managers
- ADA Curb Ramps — compliant ramps with detectable warning panels

Permits in Columbia County
Anything in the public right of way — the sidewalk across your frontage and the driveway apron where it meets the street — needs a permit from Columbia County and an inspection afterwards. Work behind the property line generally does not. We are licensed in Georgia and carry certificates for both states. We check which applies before quoting.
Questions we get asked
What finish is right around a pool?
Something with texture. A steel-trowel finish is dangerous wet, so pool surrounds get a salt or broom texture. It also stays cooler underfoot than a smooth dark slab.
Does the deck need a joint at the pool?
Yes. The shell and the deck move independently, and without an expansion joint at the coping the deck cracks along that line. It is not optional.
