A 16x32 pool deck is 512 square feet of flatwork wrapped around a standard rectangular pool. It is foot-traffic concrete, but it is foot-traffic concrete that gets walked on wet all summer, so the finish and the drainage matter more than the raw square footage.
Example rates, worked out
| Finish | Example rate | 16x32 (512 sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Broom texture | $9 / sq ft | $4,608 |
| Exposed aggregate | $13 / sq ft | $6,656 |
Example rates only. Aggregate and stamped finishes cost more because of the material and the labor, and they are popular on pool decks precisely because they add grip and hide wear. Your market and your crew set your real rate.
The line items a pool deck adds
Two add-ons show up on most pool decks. Sealing at the example $2 per square foot is $1,024 here, and it is closer to standard than optional around water. Reinforcement at $1.50 per square foot adds $768 if the base or the climate argues for it.
Slope is the part that does not show up as a line item but ruins a deck if you skip it. The whole surface has to shed water away from the pool and the house, and the control joints have to land where the slab wants to crack anyway.
Same rates, any pool size
The pool deck concrete calculator opens preloaded at 16x32 and reruns for a wraparound, a freeform shape broken into rectangles, or a bigger 18x36 pool deck. If the yardage math is what you want to nail down, how to figure concrete yardage walks it through. The full pricing method is in how to price a pool deck, and weighing the surface itself, concrete pool deck vs pavers lays out the trade-offs.
