Slidell clay and frequently flooded ground
The USDA soil survey maps 15 units on land inside DISH. Slidell clay on 1 to 3 percent slopes covers about 28.4% of the mapped land, Somervell gravelly loam about 15.6% and Frio clay loam, frequently flooded, about 15.0%; grouped by main soil, Slidell leads, with Somervell and Bastsil next at about 15.6% each. Slidell's linear extensibility reaches 10 percent, inside the very high class, above 9 percent, that the 1980 Denton County survey says is sometimes used, and NRCS's ratings put its largest unit in the Very limited class for houses, for shrink-swell. The survey defines shrink-swell as a soil's change in volume as it gains or loses moisture, and notes that at moderate to very high ratings the movement can damage buildings and roads, so special design is often needed.
Why the ground matters to a deck
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association explains that concrete expands and contracts with moisture and temperature, and that it cracks when a slab isn't designed and built to allow for that movement, settlement cracks being one common result. Prime Resins, which makes foam for lifting slabs, studied a pool deck whose slabs had sunk where poor drainage washed the soil out from under them and risen where tree roots pushed up. On clay that shrinks and swells, or ground that floods, a deck's cracks are worth reading before they are filled. A soil rating covers the land around, not a single yard.

The 2020 Census counted 437 residents and 150 housing units in DISH, every unit occupied, and the Census Bureau's estimate for July 1, 2025 is 525 residents. In its 2020–2024 survey, whose margins are wide for a town this size, 127 of 189 units, about 67.2%, were built in 2010–2019, 38 in 2000–2009 and 13 before 1990, for a median year built of 2013. Of those units, 172 are single-family detached houses and 17 are mobile homes; owners live in 176 of the 182 occupied homes. Owner-occupied homes there have a median value of $471,600, and households a median income of $159,000.
Two water suppliers
Which supplier serves a home depends on the subdivision. The Town of Ponder supplies Lonesome Dove Estates and Green Prairie Country Estates from wells in the Trinity and Paluxy aquifers, and Lone Star Water supplies the Meadow Ranch Addition and Westover Ranch Subdivision; the Meadow Ranch Water System draws Paluxy groundwater, by its 2025 report. We found no current drought stage for either, so ask your supplier before water-heavy work such as pressure-washing a deck.

(469) 526-3886The Town's codes and inspections
DISH has adopted the 2018 International Building and Residential codes and the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, each with local amendments. The Town reviews plans itself and contracts construction inspections to Atlas Municipal Services; a building permit is required for detached accessory buildings over 200 square feet; and an owner who has filed a homestead exemption with the Denton County Appraisal District may pull permits and do construction work on their own home. The Town's permit list didn't load when we looked, so we found no rule on pool decks or flatwork; ask the Town whether a repair needs a permit before a deck is cut or lifted.
What the model code asks of a deck
The figures here come from later editions of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code than the 2018 edition DISH adopted, so ask which apply. The 2021 edition allows a non-wood pool deck no more slope than 1/2 inch per foot, wants no more than 1/8 inch of water left standing 20 minutes after water stops being added, and puts the minimum drainage slope at 1/8 inch per foot on textured, hand-finished concrete, rising to 1/4 inch on exposed aggregate. Its 2027 edition asks for decks to slope away from the pool or toward deck drains.

(469) 526-3886Deck repair beside resurfacing, cool deck and joints
Repairs come first, and a new surface can follow. Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing also handles pool deck resurfacing, cool deck recoats, mastic and expansion joints, coping, and new stamped or travertine decks. Nearby, see stamped concrete pool decks in Justin and pool tile cleaning in Northlake.
Typical Dallas figures for 2026 put full pool deck replacement at $8 to $20 or more a square foot, against $3 to $10 to resurface one. Those are published figures, not our prices; a look at the deck shows whether its slabs can be saved.

Read the slab and the ground
Cracks are sorted into early shrinkage, settlement and heave, and the drainage and any nearby trees are checked.
Ask the Town
DISH’s permit list couldn’t be read online; ask Town Hall whether your repair needs a permit before work starts.
Lift or replace moved slabs
A sunken slab can be raised with injected polyurethane foam or a cement-based grout, or broken out where it can’t be saved.
Fill cracks and mend edges
Cracks are filled or cut open into a scoreline, and broken edges are patched before any coating goes on.
Restore the joints
Joints are cleaned and resealed or replaced, so the slab keeps somewhere to move.

How much does it cost to repair pool deck cracks?
A crack serious enough to fix before resurfacing runs $200 to $800 each in typical 2026 figures for Dallas–Fort Worth, depending on severity, while Dallas figures for the same year list crack repairs as an extra on a deck job at $50 to $200 a crack, sealing at $1 to $2 a square foot and an anti-slip coating at $2 to $4. Flower Mound Pool Resurfacing prices a deck after seeing which kind of cracks it has.
What is the best product to resurface a pool deck?
Published figures compare lifespans rather than name one best. In typical 2026 figures for the Dallas–Fort Worth climate, an acrylic deck coating lasts 3 to 5 years, a quality decorative overlay 10 to 20 with routine upkeep, and a stamped concrete overlay 15 to 25. On heat, Mortex says its Kool Deck topping lowers concrete's surface temperature significantly, though it publishes no number.
