Pool coping

Hi there, gorgeous pool. I was curious if you did the pool coping a shade lighter than the concrete patio. What makes the swirls of color in the patio area? Thx

    Thanks for the inquiry! The coping is natural stone. The decking is colored concrete with a slight acid wash which gives it a more naturally aged look.

    Hi thanks for the note! So is the acid wash called a topcast release agent? Trying to better understand it. In your experience, does the acid wash cement still hold up long term? It's so much prettier than plain colored cement.

    We use this on the majority of our projects and it wears really well. If you do not do the acid wash, it can be a bit slippery until it ages over time. The acid wash gives it a slightly weathered look.

    Ok so it adds texture too, as a non-slip?

    We have found that it does help to add texture.
