Pebble finishes blend natural stone aggregate into the interior surface instead of relying on plaster alone. The result is a harder, longer-lasting interior with depth of color that white plaster cannot match. Mini pebble uses a smaller aggregate for a smoother feel underfoot while keeping the durability. Pebble interiors are the finish we install most often on Dallas-Fort Worth remodels.
Standard pebble uses a larger stone and reads as a more textured, natural bottom. Mini pebble uses a smaller aggregate that is noticeably smoother on feet while retaining nearly all of the durability advantage. Most homeowners with young children or sensitive feet choose mini pebble.
Plaster is a cementitious surface that dissolves slowly under normal pool water chemistry. Pebble finishes place hard natural stone at the surface, so the exposed wear layer is stone rather than cement paste. That means better resistance to etching, staining, and color loss over the life of the finish.
Pebble is more textured than plaster by design. Mini pebble narrows that gap considerably, and polished pebble products go further still. We will let you feel physical samples during the estimate rather than choosing from a brochure photo.
Pebble is the premium of the three interior options and quartz sits between plaster and pebble. Homeowners who plan to stay in the home generally find the longer service life makes pebble the lower cost per year even though it is the higher cost per job.
Our project gallery shows finished pebble interiors across DFW in daylight and at night, and we can usually point you to a completed pool near your city.
Every project starts with a free on-site visit in Fort Worth or anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. We look at the shell, the plumbing, and the equipment pad before quoting anything, so the written estimate reflects the actual pool instead of a phone guess.
FAQ
Straight answers on cost, timeline, materials, and what to expect.
Standard pebble has visible texture. Mini pebble uses a smaller aggregate and is markedly smoother, which is why most of our residential clients choose it. Texture also softens over the first season of use.
Pebble is the longest-lasting of the common interior options — considerably longer than white plaster — provided water chemistry stays balanced. Calcium hardness and pH control matter more than anything else you do.
Yes. Pebble is the premium interior option, with quartz in between plaster and pebble. Because it lasts substantially longer, many homeowners find the cost per year of service is lower.
Darker blue aggregates such as Majestic Blue and Barbados Blue produce the deepest water color, while Tahoe Blue reads bright and tropical. Grey blends give a modern, lagoon-like appearance. Depth, sunlight, and surroundings all shift how a color reads in your yard.
We chip the old interior that is failing out first. Applying pebble over a failing plaster layer risks delamination, and the shell repair we do during chip-out is what makes the new finish last.
