I can attest to the travertine decking. It's the best thing I did...very little maintenance, cool in summer sun, and looks great.

Freezing winter months, pool cover mounts cause zero issues. Good luck.

Agree w/apdnj. We are in NJ and travertine is the better choice for all the same reasons already mentioned. Fit is better than pavers so less weed growth in between pavers as well. Not slippery. If there is no charge to upgrade to this or the Diamond Brite, go for it.

thanks for the responses

for the same price, Diamond brite is a much better finish. It comes with a factory warranty, is super consistent, and the quartz will give some great color.

We like super blue for a traditional blue pool or french gray for something a little darker blue
