Travertine Installation
Natural travertine delivers a silky, cool-underfoot surface that stays comfortable on bare feet even in the Florida sun — the signature finish for premium pool decks, lanais, and upscale patios.
Cool-to-the-touch natural stone for refined pool decks and patios.
The Work
Travertine is a natural limestone paver prized for its soft, warm tones and the way it stays cooler than concrete or manufactured pavers in direct sun. That makes it the go-to choice for pool decks where comfort matters.
We cut and set travertine with tight joints and seamless bullnose coping around pool edges, producing a high-end resort feel that's also genuinely durable and slip-resistant when wet.
What's Included
Cool-Touch Surface
Travertine's natural porosity keeps the surface cooler than concrete, so it's comfortable barefoot poolside.
Bullnose Coping
Seamless rounded coping along the pool edge for a clean, safe, finished transition into the water.
Slip-Resistant Finish
Honed or tumbled textures that stay grippy when wet — ideal for pool surrounds and outdoor showers.
Stain-Resistant Sealing
Penetrating sealer protects the stone from sunscreen, oils, and organic staining.
Our Process
Layout & Coping
We set the pool coping first to establish a crisp edge, then field out from there.
Mortar Bed
Travertine is set on a full mortar bed over a prepared base for a rigid, lasting bond.
Grout & Clean
Joints are grouted and the surface is cleaned to reveal the stone's natural tone.
Seal
A penetrating sealer is applied to protect against staining and etching.

Frequently Asked
Is travertine good for pool decks?
Yes — it stays cooler than concrete, is slip-resistant when properly finished, and handles chlorinated and salt water well when sealed.
Does travertine need sealing?
We recommend a penetrating sealer to protect against staining and keep the stone looking its best. We handle this as part of the install.
