You can seal the travertine if you are concerned about staining. Nicolock has a Travertina color available for most of their paver lines. We are considering Nicolock Stone Ridge or Alpine series pavers in Travertina for our decking.

As long as the pavers are installed with the correct engineering tolerances for drainage you should be fine. If you are asking if it is possible for rainfall to overcome the drainage system, anything is possible, however under all normal circumstances you should be fine and with the pavers...

Looks really nice! Who did your pool coping and deck work? I like the overall look as it blends into your surroundings nicely! Is the decking aggregate of some kind?

Mighty Mule Wireless Gate Entry Intercom/Keypad System (FM136) Mighty Mule Wireless Gate Entry Intercom/Keypad System (FM136) - Access Control Keypads - Amazon.com

Check into Mighty Mule Bulldog gate locks. They have a number of options that would probably get you where you want to be. Off the cuff I’’d say look at the FM-145 pedestrian gate lock and pair it with the FM-136 WiFi gate keypad and intercom system. The FM-136 allows you to control gate...

I’ve got bids/quotes for all options at this point, from custom stick built garage units, prefab units, DIY stick built kits (like from 84 Lumber), and all pole building options including custom built pole structure to pre-fab to DIY kits. I’m leaning toward DIY to save money especially since I...

I’m in a similar boat as you as well. I’ve had to delay my pool renovation plans due to other expenditures at this point in time. Had hoped to already have started but alas life gets in the way. I only had the required 3’ of pouted cement padding around the entire left side and one end of our...

I like your decking - is that stamped concrete or pavers? What did you go with for coping?

I love the look of your entire layout. Couple of questions for you if you don't mind. Feel free to PM me if you would rather not share on the forum. Is your hardscaping all genuine travertine, or a travertine paver style surface? If it's a paver surface, which brand? It looks like you...

Got it and thanks. I have found a very reputable pool company, Coronado, in our area that specializes in NPT products and has very positive feedback. I don't feel Pebbletec is worth 100% more on price and value. I just found a pool in another thread that has the look we are after using a...

Wow I really like your pool finish! I've been looking for some pictures using midnight blue mini-pebble NPT. I like how natural the pool looks overall with your rock feature, very nice! Thanks for sharing! [emoji1] Question, it looks like you have a tanning deck there, is it also midnight...

Question on Pebbletec vs Stonescapes and other pebble based products. Pebbletec seems to be quite a bit more expensive than other pebble based products. I've got one quote from a Pebbletec vendor for a resurface at 15k just for the Pebbletec - doesn't include tile or coping. I have other...

My sense is with a bit of elbow grease you could get the current pool cleaned up and functional for not much money - provided the current equipment is functional. You don't "need" the heater to use the pool, and that's the biggest ticket item to replace if it isn't working. Even if you have...

If you are on the original plaster surface, don't have delamination, and haven't painted over the plaster surface with any epoxies, sandblasting is not necessary. My understanding in talking with several pool renovators is that sandblasting is necessary to blast off epoxies and get down to the...

What is the surface area of your pool? The size of the pool influences the pricing for replaster. Pebbletec for my pool replaster was quoted between 15-16k and Pebblesheen was about 1k higher if memory serves. See my remodel thread for more pricing info. I'm in the mid Atlantic region which...

Re: The mythical finish: Stonescapes Aqua White with Puerto Rico blend "Touch of Glas How does this finish look in the shade? I'm still trying to decide on a pool finish but our pool gets shade about 50-60% of the day hence my question.

Re: The mythical finish: Stonescapes Aqua White with Puerto Rico blend "Touch of Glas Congrats! Did you take any pictures when you visited by chance? If so please post! [emoji1]

It's doable but overlays generally don't work very well from what I've read. Will you be adding any additional decking as part of this project? If so then you also have to manage a transition element. You will also most likely have to have the existing pool coping replaced to level up the...

Are you looking at replastering only or are you also considering fresh tile and coping? I'm in the mid Atlantic area and am getting price quotes on all options at present. With 15 year old pitted plaster if you go the AB route they are most likely going to want to replaster before applying AB...

800 SF around a pool as large as yours actually seems a little light IMHO. I have a pool that measures 103 LF and 550SF and am installing 1100 SF of decking during my planned renovation. How wide are your pathways around your pool? I currently have 3' cement decking at the slimmest points...

LVP, I will follow up on the SVRS piece per your advice. Everything tends to be on the expensive side here in the mid-atlantic for sure.

Jim, yes I met with Edgar from Conorado for my site survey and have already received a quote from them. Edgar was very cordial and very knowledgeable. Their pricing for tile/coping/resurfacing was less expensive than A&S for plaster/quartz/pebble, and both were considerably less than Pebbletec...

Ok I've been working on a sketch design for the entire back yard transformation, here's a picture of what we have so far:

Interesting approach for sure. If the underlying pad shifts, that would be problematic as you would have to pull up the pavers and replace the pad in entirety, but that's about the only issue I could see with that approach though. Are you laying down the pavers yourself? Actually, now that I...

Jim, Pool deck question here. It looks like you went with pavers over a cement pad? Or am I just not seeing things right? If so, just curious why you went that route as opposed to the usual packed stone/tamped sand base? I'm getting ready to renovate our pool that currently has a concrete...

Yes those are renovation prices not new pool build.

Question on your retaining wall height in relation to the hardscaping that joins to it on the hill. Is that area considered a raised porch and if so, isn't a railing required above a certain height? In my state that height is 30 inches. Was this issue something you had to work around - like...

Not sure how much installed prices are but the units themselves are less than most LED laminar deck jets in comparison: Pentair - ColorVision LED Bubbler with GloBrite LED Lights Installed pricing will vary a LOT depending on your location. I'm in the mid-altantic area, which is expensive...

A little dive bar in Dahlonega? [emoji6]

Wow, seeing the finished product, stunning! :cool: How much was your water feature all told? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to share costs publicly. I'm pricing out various water features currently and would love to get something similar to what you have, perhaps without the slide...
