Pool Decks & Patios
Soft Crete® offers two proven pool deck resurfacing solutions — Rubber Surfacing and Resin Bound Stone Systems — designed to renew and modernize indoor and outdoor pool environments without full demolition.
Installed directly over properly prepared concrete, paving stone, or tile, these seamless systems restore worn surfaces while improving comfort, appearance, and long-term performance.
When the existing base is structurally sound, Soft Crete systems can be installed over:
- Concrete slabs
- Stamped or decorative concrete
- Interlock paving stone
- Ceramic tile pool surrounds
Resurfacing helps reduce demolition, shorten timelines, and minimize disruption.
