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.

pool coping for free form pool

6 years ago

Hello, my husband and I are about to start the install for a free form pool. We do not like anything too dark and too brown. I love travertine but my pool builder said that because of the shape
Of the pool (free form), travertine is not recommended because of the curves. Does this sound correct and if so, does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative (similar to travertine)? Thank you!
