Our patio is on two levels. Part of it is about 6" higher than the other part and so there is a step. We had travertine pavers installed in a Versailles pattern. When I talked with the PB, he said that the step (which is very wide-about 19' on one side of the patio and 15' on the other side of...

We have an existing concrete patio and then a new extension to the patio we are putting in. The new extension is right next to the existing patio, but it's stepped down. The PB said they would cap the concrete patio with travertine tile and the pavers would be on the new decking (which won't...

We were discussing heater/chillers with our PB and he said that if we wanted to swim in the winter, it would be cheaper to keep it heated by a chiller/heater system because they are electric and therefore much cheaper to run. He said they aren't good for heating up a pool very quickly but they...

Our deck will be travertine pavers. I am trying to decide between the Versailles pattern or just regular squares. Our PB said that the Versailles pattern interlocks better and moves around less. I'm not sure if this is true, but I guess it could be a possibility because there are smaller tiles...

My pool was started 4 months ago. There were lots of weather delays, so construction has been VERY slow. It has been gunited and the stonework is partially done. A slide was just installed, and as we were looking at the slide and the plans, we noticed that the pool design was not followed and...

We need to decide on our pool finish soon and I thought I was going with Pebble Sheen, but now after checking out some pools (it's the most common pool finish around here), I am wanting to at least check into some smoother finishes. Here are the options we are considering: Pebble Fina--I have...
