A Discount Pool & Patio Company
Your current deck is a problem. It gets so hot in the summer that nobody can walk on it barefoot. The concrete scorches. The pavers feel like a stovetop. You’re buying everyone pool shoes just to get from the house to the water. Meanwhile, your neighbors with travertine are walking around comfortably while your family hops across burning surfaces.
Poolside Renos installs travertine pool decks across Broward County that stay cool even in direct Florida sun. Natural stone that looks stunning, feels comfortable barefoot, and holds up to pool chemicals, weather, and heavy use. We’ve been installing travertine since 1998, and we know exactly how to prep, install, and seal it for Florida conditions.
One family-owned team. No subcontractor lottery. Just beautiful travertine work that performs as good as it looks.
Most travertine failures happen before the stone even goes down. Contractors skip proper base preparation. They don’t seal it correctly. Or they’re not travertine specialists, they’re general contractors who treat natural stone like any other material and wonder why it fails in Florida conditions. Then you’re stuck with stained, shifting, or damaged travertine that looks terrible within a few years.
Three Ways Bad Contractors Ruin Travertine Installations
Travertine needs a properly compacted base with correct drainage. Skip this step, and your pavers shift, sink, and create uneven surfaces. Water pools instead of draining. The deck becomes dangerous and ugly. Proper base prep takes time and skill. Contractors who don’t specialize in natural stone skip it to save money, and you pay the price when everything fails.
Travertine is porous. Without proper sealing, it stains from pool chemicals, sunscreen, food, and drinks. Some contractors use cheap sealers that fail within a year. Others skip sealing entirely and tell you it’s “optional.” It’s not. Proper sealing protects your investment and keeps maintenance manageable. We use commercial-grade sealers that actually work.
Travertine has natural variations in color, texture, and fill patterns. Contractors who don’t understand stone lay it randomly without considering how pieces flow together. You end up with a jarring, mismatched appearance instead of a cohesive design. We sort and plan travertine layout for visual flow that looks intentional, not accidental.
The Reality?
Travertine is a premium material that requires specialized knowledge to install correctly. It’s not concrete. It’s not ceramic tile. It’s a natural stone with specific requirements for Florida pool decks. Contractors who don’t specialize in travertine treat it like any paver and deliver results that fail fast or look amateur.
At Poolside Renos, we’ve installed thousands of travertine pool decks across Broward County. We know how to prep the base, handle drainage, select and lay stone for visual appeal, and seal it to resist Florida’s punishment. Your travertine will stay cool, look beautiful, and last 20+ years because we understand the material and respect the process.
Done with contractors learning on your dime?
Step 1: Free Consultation & Material Selection
We come to your property, assess your space, and discuss travertine options. French pattern, Roman pattern, specific sizes, tumbled vs. honed finishes, and color variations. You see actual samples and understand what you’re getting. We provide honest feedback about what works for your space, budget, and style preferences.
Step 2: Detailed Written Estimate
You get a comprehensive proposal covering demolition (if needed), base preparation, drainage, travertine material, installation, and sealing. Everything’s itemized so you understand exactly what’s included. No vague estimates that balloon into surprise costs halfway through the project.
Step 3: Permitting & Project Scheduling
We handle permits if required and schedule your installation with realistic timelines. Most travertine deck installations take 1-2 weeks, depending on size and site conditions. We account for weather, material delivery, and proper installation procedures, with no rushed timelines that compromise quality.
Step 4: Site Preparation & Base Installation
We excavate to proper depth, install drainage solutions, and build a compacted base that meets specifications for natural stone. Proper slope for water drainage, adequate compaction to prevent settling, correct sand bed for travertine stability. This foundation determines whether your deck lasts or fails.
Step 5: Travertine Layout & Installation
We sort travertine for color and pattern consistency, plan the layout for visual flow, and install each piece with proper spacing and edge restraints. Natural stone has variations; we embrace them while creating cohesive designs that look intentional. Our crews have installed travertine for 25+ years. They know what they’re doing.
Step 6: Joint Sand & Edge Securing
We use polymeric sand for joints to prevent weed growth and keep pavers stable. Edge restraints get installed to prevent spreading and shifting over time. These details separate professional installations from amateur work that fails within a few years.
Step 7: Professional Sealing
We clean the travertine thoroughly and apply commercial-grade sealer that protects against pool chemicals, stains, and moisture while maintaining the stone’s natural breathability. Proper sealing extends the life of your deck and dramatically reduces maintenance requirements.
Step 8: Final Walkthrough & Care Instructions
We inspect everything with you, explain maintenance procedures specific to travertine, and answer your questions. We provide care instructions that keep your deck looking great for decades. We don’t disappear the moment we finish; we make sure you understand how to care for your investment.
Ready for a deck you can actually walk on barefoot?
We Specialize in Travertine, Not Just Any Deck Material
Travertine requires specific knowledge about stone characteristics, proper sealing, base requirements, and installation techniques. We’ve installed thousands of travertine pool decks across Broward County since 1998. This is our specialty, not something we occasionally do between concrete jobs.
Family-Owned Since 1998
We’re not a franchise or national chain. We’re local owners who’ve been part of this community for over 25 years. We see our customers around town. Our reputation is everything, so we don’t cut corners or use subpar installation methods. We do it right because our name is attached to every project.
Materials Sourced for Quality and Consistency
Not all travertine is created equal. We source from suppliers who provide consistent quality, proper grading, and stones that perform well in Florida conditions. We don’t use bargain travertine that cracks, stains, or deteriorates quickly. You’re investing in premium material; it should be premium quality.
Proper Base Preparation Every Single Time
Base prep isn’t negotiable. We excavate to the proper depth, install drainage solutions, compact the base correctly, and create the foundation that natural stone requires. Our installations don’t sink, shift, or develop drainage problems because we don’t skip the steps that matter.
We Focus on Quality Over Volume
We target homeowners in Weston, Boca Raton, Parkland, and Coral Springs areas, where people understand that cheap travertine work costs more when you have to rip it out and reinstall correctly. We’re not chasing volume. We’re delivering quality installations, we’re proud to put our name on.
Licensed, Insured, Here for the Long Haul
Full licensing, comprehensive insurance, and we’re not going anywhere. We’ve been here 25+ years, and we’ll be here 25+ more. When you need maintenance advice or have questions years from now, we’ll still be here answering the phone.
