Hi all-
I bought my current house as a foreclosure in 2012. The previous owner built a very nice pool complete with waterfall, slide, and grotto. However, he also incorporated some natural boulders (unknown what type of rock they are) as some accent points in a few spots around the pool and they are crumbling over time. So small chunks of rock crumble off into the pool, especially as the kids jump on them. We have lots of guests over so it is impossible to keep kids off them. In some spots the builder “covered” over them with what looks like a common material I see in other pools- the same stuff they build water features from- a thin 1” layer of concrete/mortar type material but in some spots it was never there. I’m wondering if there is a material I could buy and apply myself to cover and “seal” these rocks to keep them from continued crumbling. I live 75 miles from the nearest city and have an extremely difficult time getting any pool builders/companies to even ever come and give me a bid for any kind of work.
