HELP! Getting ready to build pool

19 years ago

I am needing some help to put my mind at ease. We are building our 2nd pool and trying to decide on our pavers, pool tile, etc. Our previous pool was all acrylic deck however this one will be a combination of tile and pavers. We currently have a porch area that was enclosed (until today...my back is killing me) and we have tile on the porch. For our pool, we are going with pavers. I am concerned about the transition between the two. If anyone has done this, can you please post pictures. I have tried searching and have only come up with one :( We are also putting in a screen which we didn't have on our other pool. I am between picking a lighter color paver that goes with our tile better or picking a darker color which I like more but then I would have to change the pool tile we picked out & I'm concerned about it looking right with the house, etc. If anyone can post pictures of their pools if they used Flagstone pavers (either I believe the Cream/Beige color or the Cream/Beige/Charcoal color) I would appreciate it. I like the New England/random pattern. We are going with the French Grey Quartz interior. I am just concerned with everyhthing coming together and looking nicely. Thanks for your help!

I had a similar situation with my old house.We had the thin
pavers over concrete on our patio when we put a pool next to.Got similar pavers to extend around pool.
This was best solution money wise and estatically uniform.

But like you I was locked in to existing patio pavers.
But after a while got tired of the busy look of the multi
colored(pink,peach,orange)deck.

In new house now and will be going with plain scored concrete.
My point is find the pavers(thin)or tile you really like
and spend the extra dough to remove the tile from your
patio(or keep the tile and put same on pool deck)to have
a uniform and not a mishmash area.

Good luck...JR...

Thanks JR. I have been searching all weekend. We were picking out all our stuff on Friday and I just couldn't finalize everything because I was concerned about this. We thought about pulling up the tile, unfortunately it was just put down 8 months ago. Wish I would have known we were going to put a pool in so soon and I wouldn't have done that. There are 2 sets of pavers that look ok with the tile we have down already I was just hoping to get a visual from someone else that has tile up against pavers. Not sure how often this is done or what other alternatives there may be out there.
