My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What is the material on the pool deck, and is it skid proof

    Hello,

    The stone used around the pool was a 3/4" thick custom bush-hammered basalt. The stone was purchased from Stone-tile International in Toronto. This treatment did ensure a non-slip surface but there are many off-the-shelf products that are sufficiently 'skid proof'.
