Thank you for this, big decision in me keeping the aggregate!
And I'm going to go with travertine! It's a long term risk and I will pay the pool guy extra to seal it every 18 months, but I feel it had the most elegant look from everything I saw.
Would you recommend me hand troweling over the aggregate pebble with concrete - then using AcrylaDeck on top of it? The kind that keeps feet cool in hot summer months?
For going over the aggregate, I believe they put some kind of concrete base layer. Or they float a layer of the spray deck material until it is level and flat. I agree that pavers or natural materials are preferred to the feel of spray decking, but in terms of looks and price point I think it...
There are a lot of contractors who specialize in the overlay here in Texas, the land of never ending development. I'd ideally like the travertine pavers and coping, but that's going to be $8k and not reasonable for what I want to do. Right now I'm thinking travertine coping with spray deck...
Hard to find any bad ones on pg 1...
but for the pool decking, I like the slabs here -
the coping that would look nice -
IN Texas most people use travertine around the pool for coping and deck. But I've seen some spray texture samples for decking and they look alright . The question is...
What are the preferred choices for pool decking? Is there some kind of soft surface for kids to run around or is pebble aggregate / pavers what people like?
From the picture, it appears like you've used normal slab stone around the pool?
The main thing I wanted to do was replace the coping with an updated look, perhaps travertine tile, stone or a paver. But then I was also presetend with options like an overlay and spray overlay for the deck (which is the area with pebbles).
What are everyone's recommendations on this if I want...
