    Dirk....don't know if you will ever see this but....omgoodness!!....I cannot believe this post. Colors have been making me absolutely insane!!! I have been trying to decide on pavers for an obscene amount of time and I was convinced that surroundings and reflections and colors bouncing off of...

    Travertine Coping Shape on Freeform Pool

    We also thought we wanted an eased edge until we saw how the cuts might look sloppy on a freeform pool. I would have loved a chiseled edge but no go from a safety and comfort perspective. Ironically though, I agree with thewolf56 that for some reason travertine bullnose doesn't seem as dated as...

    Thank you again.....yes....my entire small yard is lined with pine trees. It's truly beautiful but is indeed right on top of our pool/patio. But again....good to know pollen from oak isn't big problem....

    Travertine in NJ? Need experiences and help stat! Ty in advance!

    Wow...thank you JJ_Tex! That was so nice of you to take pics!!! I love that and especially the smaller format. I'm also relieved to hear this has been low maintenance for you! Do you get a lot of pollen with those trees? Spring in my yard means everything here is covered in yellow/green sticky...

    Travertine in NJ? Need experiences and help stat! Ty in advance!

    Thank you so much for your detailed response. I'm taking it all in and I completely I understand about the pocks and holes giving it character if you will. I agree!! My concern really is 1)the Ivory being so light....I really like the silver and would hide more but sadly wouldn't match our...

    Travertine in NJ? Need experiences and help stat! Ty in advance!

    Thank you....I really appreciate the feedback. I am in Monmouth County. Honestly...we're going crazy. Naturally we love the look of natural stone but don't want to make an expensive mistake. We've talked to a few of this PB clients and they seem happy with the travertine but some haven't gotten...

    Travertine Coping Shape on Freeform Pool

    Hi Jen! Welcome! I unfortunately don't have much to offer here as I'm learning myself but I can empathize. I really wanted to do a rock face or straight edge coping but my concern was regarding the safety for kids. It's disappointing but something tells me that the bullnose will never go...

    Travertine in NJ? Need experiences and help stat! Ty in advance!

    Hello everyone! Please forgive me if this post is redundant. We need to decide our paving material for pool deck and patio in the next 48 hrs. PB/GC suggests to use travertine from Elegance by NT Trading(Turkey) for small pool patio and adjacent tiered patio(1000sf total) but will install...

    Help! Does your walnut or ivory travertine deck look yellow/gold?

    Wow....thank you!! This is so helpful. It's such a relief to hear from people with the same concerns. I too have a sample of silver that looks very dark, which initially deterred us from considering it. However after seeing it in person I am very tempted! It does have a lot of tans in it. Yours...

    Help! Does your walnut or ivory travertine deck look yellow/gold?

    Thank you so much. I think you are so right. I have a board here that our contractor left us and it is so misleading. Ironically, I would have picked the Antico based solely on this board as well. We have also seen other colors in person on a larger scale but even the same colors can seem...

    Help! Does your walnut or ivory travertine deck look yellow/gold?

    I am trying to decide on Travertine vs Pavers. I love the look of natural stone but more of a flagstone girl myself. Due to the obvious benefits, HB wants to go with Travertine. I can get past the holes and imperfections as they blend with nature. However the color is driving me nuts....I am ok...

    Pavers options for tan house??

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! Its funny you say that because my next door neighbors have the exact paver (pre-HD2) and I absolutely loved it when they first got it but it has lost a lot it's luster. I imagine the HD2 won't do that as much. My husband and I are at odds a bit...

    Pavers options for tan house??

    Hi! Looking for any help finding a pool and patio paver option that is not too busy and looks like flagstone. After a year+ of research I've come to know more about the local paver companies and options(I'm in NJ) than I ever wanted to lol. However everything I like has been discontinued. I'd...
