Grand Prairie Pool Pros provides professional pool decking & hardscape in Grand Prairie, TX for residential and commercial properties across the DFW Metroplex. Pool deck resurfacing fixes the two things wrong with most 1980s slabs at once: it's cracked, and in July it's hot enough to make you hop from foot to foot. If the concrete underneath is still sound, a spray-texture cool deck coating over the top costs a fraction of a tear-out and buys you another decade.
Surface temperature isn't a small detail here. Gray broom-finished concrete on a Grand Prairie afternoon reads around 140 degrees under a bare foot, and everyone in your family quietly stops using the pool between two and six.
Travertine runs 20 to 30 degrees cooler because the stone is light and porous, which is why it has taken over North Texas backyards despite costing more.
Light-colored pavers do most of the same job, with the bonus that a settled section can be lifted and reset rather than jackhammered. Knockdown texture and spray coatings sit at the affordable end and work well, as long as the slab beneath them is stable.
Cracks are the other conversation, and they come in two kinds. A hairline crack sitting inside a control joint is the joint doing its job, and it needs caulk and nothing else. A crack that steps, with one side higher than the other, means the sub-base moved. Coating over that gives you a coated crack, and it reappears through the new surface within a season or two, usually the week after you paid the invoice.
So we start with water. Drainage is what caused most of the movement in the first place: roof runoff dumping at the corner of the slab, no slope away from the shell, a downspout emptying two feet from the coping.
On expansive clay, water soaking into the ground next to your pool is the thing that lifts and drops your deck through the year. We regrade, add area drains or a French drain where it's needed, and then resurface.
Fixing the finish before the drainage is repainting a wall with a leak behind it.
Expansion joints get replaced as part of any deck job. The joint between deck and bond beam is the sacrificial piece of the whole assembly, and old hardened weed-filled mastic transfers every bit of movement straight into your waterline tile.
While the deck is open, this is the cheapest moment you'll ever get for the extras. A fire pit, a seat wall, a retaining wall to flatten a slope, the gas stub and conduit for an outdoor kitchen. Running that later means cutting your brand new deck, and nobody enjoys that conversation twice.
The honest advice. If the slab is structurally fine and you only hate the color, staining and sealing the existing concrete is the cheapest fix on this page and it looks better than most people expect. And if you're collecting quotes for a full travertine deck when the real complaint is one scorching corner with no shade, a pergola or a shade sail costs less than any of this and solves it this month.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white marcite plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, travertine coping and decking, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Grand Prairie and nearby communities including Arlington, Mansfield, Cedar Hill, Duncanville.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool decking & hardscape
The difference between pool decking & hardscape that lasts and pool decking & hardscape that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white marcite plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Grand Prairie job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the DFW Metroplex means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
