Which edge profile is best for pool coping?

Bullnose is the most common: its rounded edge is comfortable to sit on and grip. Drop edge gives a thicker look, while straight and eased edges suit modern pools.

What thickness should outdoor pavers be?

2 cm pavers are typically laid on a concrete slab or pedestals. 3 cm (1.25 in) or thicker suits sand-set patios and pool decks. Driveways need thicker stone and an engineered base.

What is the difference between honed and tumbled travertine?

Honed travertine is ground smooth and flat for a contemporary look. Tumbled travertine has softened edges and an aged surface that hides wear and gives grip underfoot.

Which pavers stay cooler around a pool?

Lighter colors stay cooler in sun. Light travertine, limestone and marble are popular pool deck choices; a tumbled, brushed or sandblasted finish adds slip resistance.

How is artificial turf specified?

By pile height, face weight, gauge, backing and stitch rate. Shorter piles suit high-traffic and play areas; taller piles look like a full lawn.

Can I order custom sizes?

Yes. Custom lengths, widths, thicknesses, finishes, edge profiles and packaging can be supplied by project.
