From Sea to Surface
A pool deck you can walk on barefoot in August.
Shellcrete is crushed seashell, fine sand and white Portland cement, finished in place. It stays cooler underfoot than dark pavers, grips when wet, and it can go straight over a sound existing slab.
Cooler underfoot
Light shell aggregate reflects more sun than dark pavers or stamped concrete, which matters on a deck people cross barefoot.
Grip when wet
Honed and exposed-shell finishes keep texture at the surface. Florida code wants pool decks slip-resistant and non-absorbent.
Goes over your slab
If the existing concrete is structurally sound, Shellcrete can be applied as a topping — no demolition, no dumpster.
Finishes
The same material, worked three ways.
How far the surface is opened up changes both how it looks and how much grip it keeps underfoot.

What customers say
“Hired SRQ MODERN to pour concrete with Shellcrete for our front entry and our new lanai. We are really happy as it is beautiful and their price was highly competitive. Karissa in the office and Armando in the field were great with follow-through from start to finish. We can definitely recommend them.”

Every deck gets quoted after we see it
Slab condition, access and finish all move the number. A site visit is the only honest way to price it.
