Right as we are about to start our pool build, we had a last minute freak out about not having the PB install the deck, we had a couple of quotes from local landscapers as we will need them to do some other work anyway, and planned to just add it next year sometime. But the PB gave us this huge disclaimer to sign about it being done by someone else, and it got us thinking that maybe we need to suck up the extra cost and have the PB do it all together.
My husband is absolutely not a fan of the cool deck on top of concrete. They had it on the floor at the showroom and he hated it. He’s also having a hard time believing it will stay cool to walk on. But total cost will be around $8k.
I personally like travertine and I think it will be the most cool to walk on, but cost will be around $11k. We picked out Antico onyx travertine by Keystone for our coping, I don’t think we would use this for the whole deck.
I’m also really nervous about the cool deck cracking, or rather the concrete. I assume travertine doesn’t crack unless you drop something really heavy on it.
It will also be out of our budget to re-cover the existing concrete covered patio if we get travertine, but will it look weird? The cost to cover it in spray deck will only be around $500 otherwise.
