Yes, with the right base. The failure point for any stone surface here is the base, not the stone. We build adequate compacted aggregate depth and pitch the surface to drain, so the travertine stays flush and stable through clay-soil movement and heavy North Texas rain.

It's one of the best choices. Travertine stays noticeably cooler underfoot than concrete or dark pavers, has natural slip resistance when tumbled, and resists pool-chemical wear. We pitch the deck to drain away from the pool and house and set matching coping at the edge.

If the slab is sound, yes, we mortar-set travertine over it with crack-isolation membrane where needed, which keeps your existing footprint and gives you a finished natural-stone surface. If the slab is failing, we'll tell you at the walk rather than tile over a problem.

Single-size fields, running-bond, ashlar, and the four-size French (Versailles) pattern. We bring samples and lay out the pattern to your space at the consult, the French pattern is the warm, modular look most homeowners picture for a travertine patio or walkway.

We recommend a penetrating sealer on patios and pool decks ($2.50/SF) to slow staining and make cleanup easier. It's optional and quoted as a line item, so you decide, it doesn't change the structure of the install.
