STEP ONE: Think About Usage & Your Design Style
How do you use your pool?
- Do you swim in it often?
- Is it a space for gatherings and entertaining?
- Do you use it as a quiet, relaxing space?
- Is it meant to be art or a backdrop for parties?
Who will be using your pool?
- If you have kids, do you need design features like a shallow area?
- If you’re a swimmer, do you value maximum grip for secure footing or maximum foot/hand comfort—or a blend of both?
- For entertaining, are you interested in a tanning shelf or outdoor fire pit? Are you looking for a luxurious, high-end look?
- Would a spa or water feature add to the relaxing ambiance you want to achieve?
How long will you be in your home?
- How important is pool longevity to you?
- How important is an updated, premium pool to your home’s resale value? (Did you know that PebbleTec pools are very often called out in Zillow and MLS home listings?)
- What pool design elements are most important to you as you enjoy your pool today and for the months/years ahead, before you sell your home?
STEP TWO: Review and Decide Your Pool Color & Finish
Review Our Pebbletec and Tile Pool Finish Options
PebbleTec offers an array of different finishes, ranging from natural to ultra-smooth. All finishes are comfortable to the touch, and easy on feet and hands. However, if you’re looking for maximum comfort, consider a very smooth PebbleFina finish. If you prefer a natural outdoorsy look with maximum grip for secure footing, choose a PebbleTec (Original) finish. If you’re seeking something in the middle, try one of our other finishes.
During This Process, Make Sure You Pick Your Favorite Color! Our pebbletec pool finishes deliver a wide variety of water colors—from deep blues to rich greens and more. We recommend you use our Water Color Tool to discover what water shade and texture works best for your family’s needs and overall design. If you haven’t already, visit our gallery to see photos of real pools featuring each finish color. Be sure to check out our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest pages for even more pool photos.
