Plan the pool of your dreams.


MATERIAL SELECTION

There are a lot of choices that go into a pool construction project. Don't worry—we've helped homeowners and businesses through all of them. This page includes information on some of the key questions that will need to be answered no matter what type of pool you construct.

Our goal is to make this page a valuable resource for our clients. We will continue to add more information and pictures and invite you to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for.

Pool

Plaster


We routinely work with Diamond Brite™ aggregate pool plaster because of its quality reputation and widespread availability. The swatches below show different poolfinish colors at various water depths, the top being exposed to air.

Pool Coping


Pool coping refers to the strip of material around the edge of the pool. Some prefer a contrasting material to the rest of the deck, and others will use the same material on the coping and deck for a seamless look.

Pool

Deck


The pool deck surface is an important consideration. Aesthetics, slip resistance, price, and so many more factors must be considered. We've worked with them all and can help guide you through the decision making process.

Natural Stone Pool Deck

Natural Stone

By far the most popular because of the variety of color options and lasting durability, natural stone is a premium building material with a classic, elegant look.

Tile Pool Deck

Tile

Tile is available in many sizes, shapes, and materials—including natural stone! It is durable and offers visual consistency, but must be applied on a concrete base.

Concrete Pool Deck

Concrete

Concrete is a durable product that is relatively affordable and should last a long time. Concrete can also be stamped or have decorative finishes applied.

Brick Paver Pool Deck

Brick & Pavers

Manmade brick and paver stones come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They're durable, consistent, and can be mixed and matched for different looks.

Turf Pool Deck

Synthetic Turf

Synthetic turf pool surrounds are surging in popularity. They offer that "garden pool" look and can be mixed in with large paver stones in geometric patterns.

Wood Pool Deck

Wood

Although uncommon, some pool owners prefer a wooden pool deck to help achieve a specific aesthetic. Teak, cypress, and manufactured products work best. *Tile can also mimic wood, is less expensive, and lasts longer
