A Sea of Travertine
Another contractor built the pool. The hardscape came to us, and it grew from one big travertine deck into a three-phase build.

Scope of Work
The Challenge
The pool was already in the ground, built by another contractor. What was left was the hardscape, and not a small apron of it: over 4,000 square feet, a scale most crews will not take on.
What We Did
At that scale the real risk is monotony, 4,000 square feet reading as one flat sea of stone. So the whole build turned on the layout. Custom inlays and borders broke the field into a designed space instead of a slab, and that one decision is what made the deck stand out.
From Vision to Reality
Design
Before a single stone was set, we mapped the whole field, where the borders would frame it and where the inlays would land, so a deck this size would hold together as one pattern.
Build
Then we set it. All 4,000-plus square feet went down across the property, every border and inlay laid to the plan we had drawn.
Came Back
The deck did its job, and the client kept calling. Phase two was a custom outdoor kitchen. Phase three, an outdoor fireplace.
