What part of the country are you in? Here in Texas with the clay soils we can not use a continuous concrete pour, therefore the limestone works best.

Live in Cincinnati Ohio.

One of the most popular types is progressive coping, this will give you a very low profile around edges. On the higher end, you can do stone coping- which can be up to $50 per linear foot.

We are in Virginia which is not too far off the map from Ohio. Our clients have used a broad spectrum pf coping choices. Some choose a poured cantilever concrete which can be stained to a variety of colors. Others have chosen travertine stone which is wonderful because it never gets too hot for bare feet. We have also used soapstone, concrete formed stone, brick, etc. We have found that our clients tend to prefer the travertine for ascetics. More budget minded clients choose the cantilevered concrete.

Thanks a lot.
