Hello,
We are rennovating our pool and replacing the coping, tile and liner. Our pool contractor used NPT and we originally chose Stonescapes Tropics Blue Mini. We were told two days ago that there is a delay/ shortage of white pebbles that goes into the aggregate. This is the description: "StoneScapes Mini Tropics Blue creates a dark blue water color and is comprised of dark blue pigmented white Portland cement, black, gold and white natural quartz pebble aggregates and a specialty blend of colored quartz highlights and abalone shell." The entire backyard is being rennovated and putting the pavers down is dependent on the tile and coping going on the pool 1st. We've already been delayed a few weeks for various reasons and the pool liner will delay us further, probably to late May if we stayed with Tropics blue. Based on what my landscape contractor had told me, I am having my mother come and visit mid- May (he told me they would be done with the yard the 1st week of May- thats out of the question now). I haven't seen my mom in a year and a half and all she was really looking forward to relaxing in the yard/pool.
Because we just want to get this done, we are trying for other options so we asked if Stonescapes Midnight Blue Mini would be available. Somehow it is, even though its description also has white pebbles (perhaps not as many).
Do people feel like this color is too dark? The yard is quite bright in general so I am hoping that will balance it out. Also, will snakes be visible in this pool? We do have snakes here, including rattle snakes. Would adding glass to the mix help lighten it or just does it sparkle more?
Thanks!
