Reinforcement mesh over the base, ahead of a pool deck pour, Mississauga.
Grading & drainage
The grade gets decided before the pour, not after
We set forms to carry water away from the house and toward wherever it's supposed to go — a lawn, a drain, or the street. Around a pool, that also means keeping the deck from pooling water against the coping.
Reinforcement goes in next: wire mesh for lighter loads, rebar where a deck or walkway needs to carry more. Control joints get planned in at this stage too, so cracking happens in a straight line you chose, not wherever the slab decides.
