Thinking of getting an inground pool

Hi,

We are almost ready to take the plunge and get an inground pool. I think we are going to contract with Family Pools in Lawrence, MA for a liner inground pool. Everyone around here seems to use them. After much thought, we are going with a 18 x36 Grecian with steel steps inside the pool. I love the clean, elegant look.

What I am having trouble deciding on is the patio material concrete, aggregate, or pavers? Any thoughts? And if you live in the area of Methuen, MA, contractors that you would recommend for the patio.

Thanks,
Tracy
