When it comes to turning a backyard into a true extension of the home, details matter. That’s exactly what we focused on during a recent project in Minnetrista, MN, where a homeowner was wrapping up a new construction build and needed a concrete pool deck that would elevate the entire outdoor space.

David Classic Company was brought into the project through a referral, and our team was proud to deliver a stamped and colored pool deck that transformed a blank slate into a standout feature of the property.

Project Overview: A Stamped & Colored Pool Deck for a New Build in Minnetrista, MN

Minnetrista offers the perfect backdrop for an outdoor oasis—with its rolling landscapes, lakeside views, and peaceful neighborhoods. Our client has their gorgeous home tucked within this scenic part of Minnetrista and wanted the outdoor space to match the quality and beauty of their residence.

They envisioned a pool deck that looked sleek but without the high maintenance or cost. It needed to be slip-resistant, weather-tough, and visually impressive enough to entertain guests all summer long.

The Classic Company Process: Bringing Form and Function Together

Our approach to stamped and colored concrete is all about pairing durability with design, the constant approach we apply to all our residential concrete services.

For this project, we recommended a seamless large brick pattern paired with a soft, earthy color blend that complements the natural surroundings Minnetrista is known for.

Here’s how we brought the project to life:

Site Preparation

We worked closely with the homebuilder to coordinate timing, ensuring we could access the space without disrupting other trades. Our crew leveled the base and installed a solid subgrade to support the pool deck for years to come.

Forming and Pouring

The deck was laid out to create flow around the pool’s curves while allowing space for lounge chairs and outdoor furniture. We poured high-strength concrete formulated for freeze-thaw resistance—a must for Minnesota’s unpredictable weather.

Stamping and Coloring

Using integral coloring and a powder release agent, we created a two-tone effect that mimics the variation found in natural stone. The stamped texture provided both aesthetics and slip resistance, which is key for any poolside surface.

Sealing for Protection

To lock in the color and protect against water, sun, and chemical exposure, we finished with a premium sealer. This step also gives the surface a subtle sheen that enhances the overall appearance without being overly glossy.

Results: A Backyard Showstopper in Minnetrista, MN

The result was exactly what the client hoped for—a stylish, low-maintenance pool deck that feels like a resort space. The soft, natural tones complemented the home’s exterior finishes and surrounding landscaping, helping create an outdoor living area that feels both functional and serene.

With Lake Minnetonka just a short drive away and the calm of rural Minnetrista all around, the new deck perfectly matches the laid-back lifestyle that draws homeowners to this area.
