We Fix Ugly Concrete · Limestone & natural stone
Limestone, Flagstone & Natural Stone Pool Decks
Nothing matches the character of real stone. We install limestone, flagstone, slate, granite, and more for pool decks, patios, walkways, steps, and coping.
Natural stone brings texture and color variation that no manufactured product quite matches. Limestone offers a soft, elegant look and comfortable surface. Flagstone gives an organic, desert-friendly feel. Slate and granite add rich color and durability. Every stone has different properties, so choosing the right one for sun, water, and traffic matters as much as the look.
Choosing the right stone
Limestone. Refined and light-toned, popular for upscale pool decks and coping.
Flagstone. Irregular natural shapes for a relaxed, desert look on patios and paths.
Slate. Rich, layered color for patios, walls, and accents.
Granite. Very hard and durable, ideal for steps, walkways, and coping.

Stone and the Arizona climate
Color matters in the sun: lighter stones stay more comfortable underfoot, while dark stones absorb heat. Finish matters around water: textured, honed, or tumbled surfaces provide better traction than polished ones. And many stones benefit from sealing to resist stains and hard-water marks.
We’ll help you pick a stone suited to your deck, pool, and budget. Compare travertine and porcelain pavers.
Natural stone is right for you if
Flagstone and natural stone typically run $20–$30 per square foot installed, depending on the stone and installation method. Stone coping runs $40–$80 per linear foot.
