Which One Will You Choose?

Whether you’re building a pool from the ground up or starting a pool remodel, the finish you choose has a significant impact on your design aesthetic. PebbleTec offers four unique aggregate pool finishes in a variety of colors, giving homeowners a wide range of options to choose from.

Why PebbleTec?

As the originator of the aggregate pool finish, PebbleTec is the only true manufacturer of the PebbleTec pool finish. PebbleTec pool surfaces only use the finest imported pebbles, glass beads, and seashells to ensure clarity and an ideal texture. Unlike plaster or pool liners, PebbleTec finishes are resistant to natural discoloration and do not require chemicals to maintain color vibrancy. Plus, PebbleTec finishes maintain their color and texture well beyond the standard five-year lifespan most plaster finishes offer.
