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.

Stone choice for salt water pool?

8 years ago
What stone did you use for coping and spa surround? Aren't there concerns about salt water wearing down the stone?

    that is a very dense pa flagstone and doesn't have issues with salt. The salt level is very low at only 3500ppm. I know in Texas they have loads of problems with soft stone around the pool. We don't see that problem in PA.
