Travertine Pool Surround, Mosman Park

This Mosman Park pool now sits in a warm travertine surround. The pavers are laid in a mixed size pattern right around the freeform pool, with rounded coping that follows the curves of the pool and the entry steps.

Getting the coping right on a curved pool takes patience. Each piece is cut and fitted so the joints stay even and the edge reads as one smooth line, which is what makes a pool like this look finished rather than just paved.

Beyond the frameless glass fence there is lawn on two sides, and the established hedges give the whole area privacy. There is plenty of room on the paving for sun loungers, and the travertine stays cooler underfoot than darker stone.
