Jefferson County residents know that summers here can be brutal! Our region is known for a combination of higher temperatures and unbearable humidity during the summer months. If you are considering installing a pool in your backyard to help you and your loved ones stay cool, you should also consider the many benefits of ready-mix concrete for your swimming pool deck.
Better Quality
The quality of your swimming pool deck should be one of your primary concerns when choosing the materials you use. One of the biggest issues with site-mix concrete is variance due to human error. When you mix one bag of concrete, it can be difficult to make it exactly the same as the last one, so there isn’t a uniformity of materials across your entire deck.
Ready-mix concrete, on the other hand, is made as a single batch in a regulated environment, so it is of the highest quality. This type of concrete is also highly durable and weather-resistant, giving you and your family years of enjoyment.
Customized Pool Deck
What type of swimming pool deck would you like to create? Something traditional or more trendy and fun? Fortunately, you can customize your deck with ready-mix concrete by choosing different colors, stains, textures, and sealers to create the perfect look.
Lower Materials Usage
You have likely heard the expression, “measure twice, cut once.” This concept can be applied to estimating the number of materials you need for your pool deck. When you use options like pavers or site-mix concrete, you run the risk of over or underestimating your needs, resulting in either wasted material or wasted time. On the other hand, when you use ready-mix concrete for your swimming pool deck, calculating and ordering precisely what you need to get the job done the first time is very simple and eliminates unnecessary guesswork.
Faster Curing Conditions
Ready-mix concrete typically sets much faster than site-mix alternatives. If you choose site-mix, you will have to open each bag of concrete as you need it and then mix it up and wait for it to set, which can prolong your job significantly. If you and your family are anxious to take a dip to cool down this summer, using ready-mix concrete for your swimming pool deck is the better choice.
More Affordable
Swimming pool decks are typically large areas that require a large amount of concrete. Unless you are fortunate enough to have an unlimited budget, you’re probably looking for affordable options. Ready-mix concrete is one of the most affordable options to consider for several reasons. First, as mentioned above, it is easier to calculate the exact amount you need to be delivered, which means wasting fewer materials. Second, because it’s easier to work with, ready-mix projects typically require fewer on-site workers than traditional site-mix alternatives.
