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.

Is this pebble decking?

9 years ago
I am interested in having pebble decking put in around my future in-ground pool in Pa. I understand it doesn't get as hot as concrete and is easier to walk on.

    Carol,

    Sorry for the delayed response, I was away on vacation.

    This is exposed aggregate concrete. I don't know specifically about pebble decking's temperature, but I have heard concerns that it can separate from the substrate during the extreme freeze/thaw cycles we experience here in Pennsylvania. We would be happy to help you weigh all of your options with an in home consultation when you are ready to start your project.
