Hope this is not to late. We chose Prism Blue, along with our blue stone coping and adobe buff Kool deck. Blue tile at watrer line. Pictures of this finish are in this forum in Spas and Pools. Good Luck

I am still looking for pictures of any of the pebble sheen whites, sandy beach, more blue granintes, and more pictures of french gray. Anyone have any new pictures to add? For some reason it seems to be a problem with the installers in s. CA to find actual homes where people are willing to show me their work.

We have a pool under construction and are considering going with either French Gray or Bordeaux Pebble Sheen. Any photos one wishes to share would be most helpful. sbfrankl in so.CA, we are having our Pebble Sheen done by Preciado Pool Plastering, ph # 818-361-1600. They have been most helpful in finding homes for us to go to and view the Pebble Sheen finishes in various colors. Give them a call. Good luck with your pool!!

We went with the French Gray. The only place the finish actually looks gray is on the first step, just a few inches below the water surface. After that its a nice blue. Not sure how to post a picture here.

Sorry Charlotte,

We went with the French Grey. According to our pool builder it was the 2nd most blue in terms of water color. We like the look. Grey is only really visible on the first step. After that its blue (tropical, not deep blue).
Good luck finding samples in your area.

Hey guys I am building my first pool and everyone is saying that pebble tec is a great material and looks really beautiful however one of the pool builders I interviewed did tell me that it can be rough on little feet. can anyone who has had it installed please give me some info from your experience.

Your pool builder is correct. Pebble Tec is beautiful and very tough on the feet. Try Pebble Sheen instead. It comes from the same compnay and is a much finer pebble. Much easier on the feet and just as beautiful.

We have a liner pool that we have had to replace way too many liners for. We are interested in the Pebble Sheen surface, but we have been told that it will make our pool smaller. We have a spring board and slide, does anyone know if the reduction in size will reduce the safety of these? Has anyone else done a conversion of this sort?

Not sure if this will help, but I've started posting some photos at Photo Bucket web page.http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff276/pool-lady/

mine is french grey pebble sheen. If you have any pics of your pool please post. It has abolone shells also.

does anyone have more pics or info on french grey or aqua blue?

Not sure how to post pictures on this site. If you want some photos I would be happy to send them to you. Email me at JDGroves@kw.com

My pool has a pebble tec finish, and it was custom blended by the contractor. We have a large tanning shelf, and the color looks like sand in the sun even though it is covered by 6 inches of water. It sort of looks like sand flecked with salt, pepper and little aqua and beige/rust stones. The deep water is the perfect shade of aqua blue and looks much like the tropical seas that you see in the Caribbean, Hawaii, etc. I LOVE my pebble tec. Sorry. I can't post a picture, but I wanted the pool to feel like a vacation, and they custom mixed it to perfection!!

i second desertdance. i love my pebble tec. i never had a problem working with them either :) mine came with my house but i think it's pebble tec sedona red. such a fan of how it looks both with water and out of water.

hi solsufer - i would contact pebble tec directly and ask them. maybe they can reapply the pebble tec finish to that area?

had to give an estimate on pool re-plastering last evening & the client's considering the product,,, from what i can see/surmise, its another reinvention of graded aggregates mix'd w/water-bas'd epoxy then trowel'd onto the pool surfaces - another reinvention of the ' chattahoochee ' finish,,, these surfaces seem to come around every 20yrs or so just after the distasteful memories of the previous generation fade,,, we've had to remove/repair many of them,,, would anyone know if my guess is correct ? ? ? thanks in adv.

ps - my bona fides ( 36yrs in conc repairs incl crack-spall-joint-resurfacing-coatings )

Hi. I am also trying to pick a Pebble sheen color for our pool.. Who would think this would be so hard!! Does anyone have pictures of Cool Blue, Slate Blue or Prism? I also have two sundecks and was thinking of doing those a different color.. My pool builder said that some people change the color from the main pool so it looks like the sand...Any suggestions?? Thanks

We just had our pool redone with Pebble Tec Sandy Beach. At first it was greener than I expected but after two weeks and the chemicals were added it is perfect. A cool turquoise in color.

Hi - I live in San Antonio, TX. my pool is being constructed now. We have a big choice to make with the pool finish and are waffling horribly. Our contractor told us that they have a special right now and we can get CL Industries Sunstone Pearl White Pearl finish for only $500. That is the only color. I guess it's on clearance. Any other color would be another $2400. We initially were thinking of grey plaster. We have huge live oak and post oak trees in our back yard. The more research I've done on here and talking with people in our area, I think the pebble finish is a better choice. The problem is that my husband doesn't like the color white. He thinks it looks like a community pool. Other people here say their plaster has stained from the oak tree leaves and hasn't held up well. I don't want to spend another $2400. Any additional thoughts from the gallery? p.s. We are using Arizona flagstone and then a golden sand color cool deck with a texture. You guys rock!

What color did you end up with for your pool finish and what tiles did you choose for the waterline. I'm trying to make a decision for the PS Blue Granite. Thanks!!

I need some feedback on Grigio Pebble Fina? How much mottling has occurred? And if so, how long has your Grigio Pebble Fina been installed? Lastly, how does it feel on your feet? We are considering this product, and need to know ASAP. We have a sports pool (a shallower pool) and teenage boys will be playing sports in it as well. Please advise...greatly appreciate it!

Does anyone have pics of the Black Pearl Pebble Tec. I am leaning that way and would love to hear other peoples thoughts.

We chose Slate Blue pebble sheen and its absolutely beautiful! There are grey pebbles mixed in along with a dose of abalone sh gives it sparkle. The slate color does not have much green, itreyisg blue. FYI , when first fill, it will look Wful. Be patienr. It will take a week or so for the color to stabilize. I will try to post a photo.

Hi pfkaplan1...do you have a picture you could post..I am going to be using Slate blue sight unseen and would love to see a picture of the water and steps if possible?

Thanks so much!

Does anyone have a picture of your pool with a gold pebble and/or with the tan sierra border? Wondering what color the pool water will be with this gold pebble (beachy) look...I believe it will be teal but would love to see a pool with the gold pebble in a picture before we make final decision. I have checked website for images but aren't having any luck. Thanks for any assistance.

Does anyone have the "cool blue" pebble sheen finish? Are you happy with it? The "Aqua Blue" is too much blue for us, looking to duplicate something more natural looking. I am hoping the "cool blue" mix of light background together with the abalone will give us that "perfect blue" in many of the different lighting conditions throughout the day. I have seen a pool with the "White Diamonds" Pebble Sheen but want something with a little more blue tint. Any suggestions? We live in southwest Florida, so we have lots of sunny days.
