Pebble Pool Finish
Exposed-aggregate pool surface finish (PebbleTec, PebbleSheen) with 20–25 year lifespan and natural-stone appearance.
What pebble pool finish actually means.
Pebble finishes (PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, PebbleFina) combine small natural pebbles or stones with plaster, then expose the aggregate in a final wash. The result is a natural-stone-looking pool surface that lasts 20–25 years (double standard plaster), resists staining from local water chemistry better than plaster, and feels slightly textured underfoot. Higher upfront cost; the second-cycle math favors pebble in most North Georgia pools.
