What is Pebble Tec?

Pebble Tec is a premium aggregate pool finish that combines small, naturally tumbled pebbles with cement. The result is an incredibly durable surface with a beautiful, natural appearance.

Unlike standard plaster that may need replacing in 7-12 years, Pebble Tec routinely lasts 15-20+ years in Arizona's harsh conditions. It's the gold standard for pool finishes in the desert Southwest.

Pebble Tec FAQs

Is Pebble Tec rough on feet?
New Pebble Tec can feel textured for the first 2-4 weeks. After the break-in period, most homeowners find it comfortable. If texture is a concern, Pebble Sheen offers a smoother alternative with similar durability.
Why is Pebble Tec more expensive?
Pebble Tec uses premium materials and requires specialized installation techniques. However, since it lasts nearly twice as long as plaster, the lifetime cost is often similar or lower. Read our full cost comparison.
What colors are most popular in Phoenix?
Ocean Blue and Aqua Blue are our most requested colors - they create beautiful blue-green water. Desert Sand and French Gray are popular for natural-look backyards. Midnight Black is trending for modern homes.
How long until I can swim?
Plan for about 10-14 days from start to swimming. Pebble Tec requires careful startup with specific brushing and chemistry protocols to ensure optimal curing and longevity.
