So, here is the response from the pool builder in regards to the grass growing through the travertine. In regards to the growth, that is normal with a paver deck. I have the same and occasionally use round up to stop it from growing. Is he right? I find it hard to believe. Thank you for your...

Thanks, Rich. I will definitely do as you suggested. The pool builder did none of explaining you just did about the process and what to expect afterward. I will also ask about the polymeric sand for grouting. I'll keep you posted as to how it goes. Thanks a million for your professional advice...

Thank you, Rich. I get it. I believe I am going to ask the installers to level all the tiles that have dropped and use a sand/conrete mixture as the grout so that it won't wash away and will hopefully keep the grass or weeds from growing through the grout. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks...

Great idea! I am still waiting for them to come back to address my concerns. I'll keep you posted.

A few more photos. One does show the compactor, I believe.A few more photos and what looks to be a compactor

They ran into none, to be honest. They were expecting a good bit but were surprised to see none.

I don't believe the compacted the ground at all. All I saw here was them dump some kind of tan gravel and then there was sand on top of it.

Yes. We have contacted them. Waiting for them to come out and take a look at it.

Thanks, Rich. Here is what I have before they started the travertine installation. You are right, there was never a compactor here. They used a roller that was pushed, I believe. Here are some more photos

I definitely will, New Dude. Thanks for that.

Thanks for replies to my post. I very much appreciate all of them. New photos for your review. I have attached more pictures for y'all to review. So, it appears the PB did not put down enough compact base but put down plenty of sand. This travertine decking has only been down approximately three...

No, not a lot of ants. Not enough to cause the multiple areas of dropping in corners, etc. Something tells me it was a poor install.

Here are some photos of the install for you to take a look at. No reseeding. I also thought the cracks and chips were not ok this early. Thanks again for your professional opinion. I really appreciate it.

Hey, thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. I don't believe they put down enough stone base. It was almost all sand. I know they did not put down gardening cloth. They put the sand and maybe a little stone base down before that on top of the original soil. Here are some pictures of...
