Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Natural stone
Travertine paver
Quarried limestone with an open, pitted surface. The reason it turns up on so many San Diego pool decks is temperature: it stays noticeably cooler underfoot than dark concrete in full sun.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.

- Care
- Porous — acidic cleaners and untreated spills mark it
Ask whoever bids this
“Filled or unfilled, and who fills the holes that open up in year three?”
