Do you LOVE your concrete pool deck or coping? If so, please share!

We must choose our pool remodel materials (everything - mini pebble color, coping material, pool deck concrete style) and are having a very hard time selecting. Our contract includes stamped concrete but I'm reading so many negative reviews on Houzz that I'm terrified to make that choice without knowing what specific style/texture to install. I'm also having a hard time choosing a concrete stamp style that is is classic without complications (cracking, slippery) for our relatively small mid-century contemporary home's yard that includes a kidney shape pool. Images attached of our Before.


I've read many advice threads on the topics but the pictures are no longer available for viewing (via photo bucket), so I cannot see the decks that everyone raves about. THANK YOU in advance!


Note: We are in the SF Bay Area that does not get freezing temps in the winters.

    I have two general suggestions: Avoid too much texture. Some textures actually hurt bare feet. Some are harder to walk on than a smoother texture would be. Other than polished materials -- which you definitely would not want -- it would likely require effort to find material that is too smooth. The vast majority of paving materials have a reasonable degree of grip. Secondly, avoid too light a color. Given that the area is in direct sun, the reflection of light colors can be positively blinding. Various greys and "reds" generally work with a lot of situations. Of course, there one has to measure specifics, not generalities. I find certain browns/tans/beiges to seem dingy or grungy, and usually stay away from them.

    [Edit: if you end up using unit pavers of some type (brick or pavers) be careful of the joint. A 90* edge (recessed joint) can be painful on bare feet. A 45* bevel will not hurt. Try walking on samples of installed pavers in bare feet while you're trying to trying to decide on details.]

      Yardvaark Thanks for that feedback. I was automatically leaning towards the lighter colors given that my hardscape space is small and my home is a Navajo white (which looks like a warm yellow).

      Those are Rinox pavers. The coping has a bull-nosed edge.

      The pool has many radius turns which is why concrete is the prefered choice. If a stone or paver is used it will need to be cut. You can also use a paver that is 6" x 12" to accommodate all the turns.

      Does anyone else have photos of their stamped concrete that they love? Thank you!

      This is stamped concrete though the stamping in this case provides a random texture with no discernable pattern.

      Yes, the coping is concrete on that one.
