Pool deck, pool landscaping cracks

[bugati11]

Hi,
I have question on cracks in concrete around my pool & I can categorize those cracks in 3.
1) I have flow-over spa & there are stone tiles on top of spa edge. Couple of those stone times have started coming off.


2) I see cracks between stone landscaping around my pool



3) I see cracks at join between pool deck concrete & stone time around pool.


I need help with what are the options to patch or fix cracks.

thanks,
Bugga

i love Frisco. Just like the foundation of your house, the clay soil reeks havoc on concrete. It looks like ground movement from the clay soil

I have heard to people adding water drip systems around their house and pool to help with this problem. The soil expands and contracts as the soil/clay drys out then gets soaked from the big rains you have in that part of the world.

You can use a flexible caulk to fill in the areas. It might have to be redone every once in a while due to the hot sun beating it up over time.
