1. Durability and longevity
-
Withstand weather conditions and traffic: Choose stone that can handle constant water exposure, freeze-thaw cycles (if applicable), and foot traffic.
-
Resistant to damage: Look for stones resistant to chipping, scratching, and pool chemicals like chlorine.
2. Safety
-
Slip resistance: Select pavers with a textured or non-slip surface
-
Consider children's safety: Ensure the surface is comfortable for bare feet and won't cause scratches if children grasp the pool's edge.
3. Aesthetics and design
-
Appearance: Choose a stone, color, and texture that complements the pool, landscaping, and house architecture.
-
Heat absorption: Lighter-colored pavers like travertine are cooler underfoot in direct sunlight, while darker stones like bluestone absorb more heat.
-
Consider patterns and shapes: Utilize different paver sizes, shapes, and patterns (e.g., stacked bond, herringbone) to create visual interest and unique designs.
-
Seamless integration: Choose pavers that blend with surrounding elements, like wooden decking or existing stonework.
​
4. Maintenance
-
Sealing: Natural stone is porous and requires sealing to prevent staining and damage from water, chemicals, and the elements.
-
Cleaning: Sweep regularly to remove debris and dirt. For stains, use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone, advises World of Stones USA.
-
Weed control: Weeds can grow between pavers; apply a granular weed preventative or use polymeric sand in the joints to inhibit growth.
5. Cost
-
Budget: Stone pavers have a wide price range (e.g., $5-$40 per square foot) depending on the type, style, size, color, texture or availability.
-
Consider long-term value: While some natural stone pavers may have a higher upfront cost, their durability can lead to lower long-term maintenance expenses compared to other materials like poured concrete.
6. Installation
-
Professional installation recommended: Installing natural stone, especially those with irregular shapes, requires precision and proper techniques like establishing a sturdy base and using polymeric sand to prevent shifting.
-
Consider pool coping: Choose pool coping that is slip-resistant and complements the pavers and overall design,
