Common Cost Questions
Sand-set travertine patios run $36/SF with an $8,500 minimum. The four-size French (Versailles) pattern runs $44/SF. Walkways run $40/SF (more cutting per SF than an open patio). Mortar-set over a sound concrete slab is $48/SF. All-in, base, stone, joint sand, edge restraint, drainage pitch, normal cleanup, and a one-year workmanship warranty.
Travertine pool decking runs $42/SF with a $9,500 minimum. Matching bullnose or straight-edge coping at the pool edge runs $55/LF ($2,950 minimum). Travertine is a popular pool surface because it stays cooler underfoot than concrete and has natural slip resistance.
Travertine-clad accent steps run $850 per step with a $2,850 minimum, tread, riser, and return faces wrapped in matching stone to tie grade into a door threshold or level change. Long multi-step runs are quoted per run.
It sits above standard concrete pavers ($28/SF) and stamped concrete ($24/SF) and in the same band as our other natural stone (flagstone $34–$45/SF). You're paying for natural stone that stays cooler underfoot, resists pool-chemical wear, and carries a warm, varied tone a poured slab can't match.
Sealing is optional and quoted separately, a penetrating sealer runs $2.50/SF and is commonly added on patios and pool decks to slow staining and ease cleanup. You decide at the walk; it doesn't change the structure of the install.
