White/Grey Decking Ideas?

[Kozman23]

Hi All!

We are currently building our dream house and have been interviewing PB's for awhile now here in DFW, TX. We have found one we like who works with our builder so they can build the pool during home construction, which is great. The biggest issue we have having at this point is picking decking. We want something in the white to light grey family and are coming up short. Silver travertine is too dark, Ivory travertine is too "tan", PB is steering us away from Limestone due to staining, etc. So I'm here looking for ideas... Our house is pretty contemporary/modern and the pool will be geometric so we are looking to keep the coping and decking the same material (will be separated by small mexican pebbles).

One option the PB found for us is the marble I attached. It's pricey and he can't give us much information on it as far as durability, texture (slippage), etc.

Any ideas would be helpful, hoping we can share the full details of our build in the near future!

Ahhh I LOVE the look of that marble! But no help on practicality. There was someone else looking for lighter options too...hmmm. If only my brain worked. I'll try to find it.

Anyone know where to find Rain Cloud marble pavers other than NJ?

I’m looking for rain cloud marble pavers. Fell in love when I saw the picture attached. Got a quote from New Jersey. It’s a little on the high side but the freight really kills it. Anyone know of where I can find these marble pavers somewhere closer to Texas?

You'll never see that worker again. You'll see your backyard and any of its flaws until you move. Amen to that. The PB has been very understanding and said the same thing to me. I do have to walk a fine line - given these guys are doing my tile and coping. I plan on having a private talk...

Belgard pavers- Lueders gray. Trying to find pics!

I have been talked down from travertine to save a ton of money. I have narrowed down to lafitt slab or Catalina slab. I cannot find pics in Lueders gray. I want a paver with mostly gray tones but not looking like stepping stones from Home Depot. Thanks

We are in a similar situation, building a modern style geometric pool in Houston area. We elected to go with a rock salt finish concrete deck with white coping from Stone Creek. (stonecreekpavers.com) They offer pre-cast concrete pavers and coping in a number of different color options. We went this route because we wanted a durable and practical option for our salt pool. They are just outside of Austin, we visited a couple of weeks ago before making our decision...
