Pool Deck Cost in Arizona — 2026.

By material (installed, per sq ft)

These figures are preliminary deck-only planning allowances. Confirm measured area, selected product and finish, preparation, installation system, drainage, access, and exclusions in a written quote. Kool Deck is Mortex's specific branded cementitious topping; a generic cool-deck coating is not automatically that product, so confirm the specified coating and preparation.

• Broom-finish concrete (re-pour): $9 – $14 per sq ft
• Cool-deck / Kool Deck overlay on sound concrete: $7 – $12 per sq ft
• Stamped concrete (color hardener, sealed): $12 – $18 per sq ft — compare the selected color, finish, care guidance, and written product terms
• Concrete pavers (Belgard, Acker-Stone): $15 – $22 per sq ft
• Travertine pavers (French pattern): $18 – $26 per sq ft
• Large-format porcelain pavers: $22 – $32 per sq ft
• Flagstone or natural stone (irregular): $20 – $30 per sq ft

Coping (priced per linear foot installed)

Coping is measured by linear foot rather than deck square footage. Concrete, travertine, and porcelain have their own narrower ranges below; natural stone reaches $120 per linear foot. Confirm profile, corners, attachment, movement joints, removal, bond-beam or tile work, and transitions in the written scope.

• Concrete coping (pre-cast or poured-in-place): $35 – $55 per lf
• Travertine coping (bull-nose or chiseled edge): $55 – $85 per lf
• Large-format porcelain coping: $65 – $95 per lf
• Natural stone coping (granite, limestone): $75 – $120 per lf

Typical pool deck totals (deck + coping)

These totals are preliminary planning allowances for the stated deck areas and coping lengths, not quotes. Measured layout and the selected deck, coping, demolition, preparation, drainage, access, and related scopes control a written price.

• Small pool deck (450–650 sq ft, 70 lf coping): $11,500 – $28,000
• Standard pool deck (700–1,000 sq ft, 90 lf coping): $16,500 – $42,000
• Large pool / spa / spillover (1,200–1,800 sq ft, 130 lf coping): $26,000 – $72,000

Demo and prep (added to material price)

These allowances are separate from the deck-material and coping rows. Existing conditions determine which demolition, preparation, drainage, elevation, or base work belongs in the final scope.

• Tear-out and haul-off of existing concrete deck: $3 – $6 per sq ft
• Tear-out of existing pavers (no base re-use): $1.50 – $3 per sq ft
• Coping removal and bond-beam prep: $25 – $50 per lf
• Deck drains and re-slope for proper drainage: $850 – $3,500
• ABC base build-up for soft soil or raised deck: $1.50 – $3 per sq ft

What to confirm in your written scope

The selected system, manufacturer guidance, subgrade, drainage, intended use, and approved detail determine the appropriate preparation and installation method. AE's applicable landscape-hardscape category is 2-year workmanship; manufacturer coverage is separate. AE workmanship coverage varies by service category — review the category-specific term that applies to your project. Manufacturer and product warranties are separate and vary by product. Your signed agreement and project-specific documents control coverage. Website information is for planning purposes. Your signed proposal and agreement control the scope, payment schedule, warranty, and project responsibilities.

• Measured layout, elevations, and drainage plan.
• Demolition and haul-off, if included.
• Bond-beam and tile-line protection when coping work applies.
• Appropriate base, bedding, and joint materials for the selected product system, site conditions, and approved detail.
• Coping attachment, transitions, and movement joints when coping is included.
• Deck-drain connections or other drainage work, if included.
• Cleanup plus the written AE workmanship category and separate manufacturer warranty terms that apply.

What drives the price up

• Travertine or porcelain selections compared with concrete or stamped options.
• Coping replacement (especially natural stone or porcelain).
• Deck drains, French drains, or re-grading for drainage.
• Raised deck or spillover wall integration.
• Larger deck footprint with custom cuts around spa, planters, or fire features.

What drives the price down

• A smaller cosmetic refresh when the existing surface and selected coating system are suitable after assessment.
• Reusing suitable coping after its condition, attachment, transitions, and relationship to the deck are assessed.
• Standard travertine French pattern over premium large-format porcelain.
• Limiting the written scope to the work the property needs, whether that is a focused refresh or part of a complete outdoor project.
