Aqua Blue Mini Pebble Resurface and Pool Deck Remodel in Arlington, TX
This Arlington pool had been patched and acid-washed too many times. The plaster was pitted, the steps were rough, and the owner wanted a durable finish with real water color. We converted it to a mini pebble interior with new waterline tile.

- 2. Repaired small hollow spots and step edges
- 3. Installed new glass waterline tile around the pool and spa spillway
