SoCal Pool Build 2020

[ira828]

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for your help and advice! I’ve been lurking for months now and have learned a ton. now I can use the group’s collective wisdom!

We’re building a new pool in SoCal and I need some advice on a paver and coping decision. We are building a modern style pool with a wooden deck, white smooth stucco walls in the back. What do you think? The dark gray porcelain paver on the left with dark gray prefab Bellecrete coping? Or the lighter gray porcelain paver on the right with medium gray coping? The light gray will be about $1.6k more.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to TFP.

I vote for the lighter grey. Colors pop more on it. Also the darker grey looks dirty. Like what white tile would look like after a few years outside without cleaning.

I agree with the lighter grays.

What color plaster are you going with?

I’m leaning towards Stonescapes Mystic Blue or tropics blue mini pebble. Still haven’t decided on the dark gray or the medium gray on the coping.
