I'd suggest starting with an internet search for Travertine Pavers, in your area, if possible.
Also be sure to read up on whether the salt from salt water chlorine generators might affect travertine in any way, if you are ever considering that as a possibility. From what I've heard, salt can affect some flagstone, some slate, and some limestone.

Ask your pool builder if he can source them. Our did. It was just a little bit more than concrete. We also have a Salt Water pool and no damage yet. Travertine is timeless. Another plus about pavers is if you ever need plumbing work, they can just pull up the pavers and reuse them. Note the different sizes of paver used to make our deck.

Nice pic ComputerGuy. That looks awesome. Does anyone have any issues with travertine being slippery?

Have you sealed your pavers around the salt water pool - especially the ones around the edge of the pool that will be prone to touching the salt water? If so, which sealer did you use? I'm planning a travertine install within a few weeks and looking for some tips on prolonging the life of it
Thanks!

I am having my PB put in 2600square feet of Travertine pavers put in at $10.00 a square foot
Gapoolsup,
Yes we had them sealed. I cannot remember the sealer he used. I think it was a dry sealer if that helps. He said we had to seal it every five years. I plan to do it sooner.

Really any landscaper that installs patios can source travertine. I had my landscaper install ours in 2x seperate parts (because we didn't have all the funds to do it at once). Price install out in Arizona was $7sqft for ~800sqft, the second section was about 300sqft for $7.50sqft. The more you get the cheaper per sqft is...

Here's how our travertine deck looks at the end of build (mid November) I'm thinking about sealing travertine just to give it bolder look.
Travertine have been installed on a concrete base.
