Pebble Stone Pool Decking Around a Custom Backyard Pool (Arizona)

Natural Aggregate pool surrounds in Tempe and Phoenix

Many backyards in Phoenix and Tempe feature custom swimming pools surrounded by plain concrete. Standard slabs can become slick, cracked, and piping pocket hot. To elevate these spaces, pebble-bound stone overlays have become a premium alternative.

The Construction of Epoxy Resin-Bound River Pebbles

Pebble decking is built by mixing natural, small, double-washed river stones with a highly elastic, UV-resistant polyurethane binder on-site. This mixture is hand-troweled directly over the concrete at 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick, creating a porous aggregate system that drains water quickly and stays cool underfoot.

Key Operational Milestones of Pebble Overlay Work:

  • Sling and spread river stone aggregate evenly to ensure custom depth consistency.
  • Porosity allows pool water to drain through, eliminating standing water.
  • Troweled texture provides excellent natural slip resistance around pools.
  • Bridges and covers settlement cracks without the need for slab demolition.
