Is Pebble Stone Decking right for your space?
Use this quick fit check before reviewing the process and estimate details.
A good fit for
- Kool Deck repair and full deck restoration
- Acrylic deck coatings for pools, patios, and walkways
- Pebble and textured finishes around water features
- HOA, community, and commercial pool surrounds
Consider another system for
- Interior floors — those call for an interior coating or polish
- Driveways and vehicle surfaces — deck textures are not built for tires
- Slabs that need structural replacement rather than resurfacing

What customers say about the finished work
"We love our garage floor! The workmanship was excellent with clear communication and follow through. I highly recommend Carefree Stone."
"We have had our Kool Deck resurfaced six times in 14 years. Each time, the company made it worse. Puddles formed when..."
What can go wrong without the right system
Surface heat
Bare or dark concrete becomes too hot for bare feet in Arizona summers. Heat-reflective deck systems keep surface temperatures noticeably lower.
Cracking and delamination
Aging Kool Deck and thin overlays crack and lift after years of sun, water, and movement. Restoration means repairing the base and rebuilding the texture, not just painting over damage.
Chlorine, salt, and hard water wear
Pool chemistry and irrigation slowly break down unprotected surfaces. The right sealed finish resists chemical and mineral attack.
What's included
- Natural river rock and aggregate stones
- Extremely porous structure prevents pooling
- Resin-bound for immense flexibility and strength

How installation works
- 01
De-Sealing & Cleaning
Removing previous sealers and pressure washing the concrete base to ensure a clean bonding surface.
- 02
Polymer Repair
Filling deep pits and level transitions with high-bond epoxies to establish a sound concrete foundation.
- 03
Resin-Bound Stone Blending
Mixing clean, natural river gravel with high-tensile, UV-stable polyurethane binders.
- 04
Hand Trowel Tamping
Troweling and tamping the stone matrix to a consistent, flat 3/8-inch thickness for a seamless walkway.
