          We chose just a simple colored plaster. I didn't want to pay the upgraded cost of pebbletec. Also my wife had a pebbletec finish once before and didn't care for the feeling of it on her feet.

            my PB said same price for either, said pebbletec will last a lot longer.

            Never been in a pool with it.. is it rough?

            What color did you tint your plaster? Looks good!

                Hmm... It was more expensive to add pebbletec with my builder. Pebbeltec will last longer that plaster and is more durable. It is rough, but not horrible.

                We chose harbor blue and if i had to do it again I would choose a coating other than plaster because it shows the inconsistencies in the trowel work easier. It's not very noticeable, but I see it.

                  My pool is "all shallow" so I am worried about walking on a surface that is not smooth. My current pool is standard plaster, and have no issues.

                  May ask my PB about pebble sheen.. seems its smoother?

                    That's my understanding. Just the sample products it felt a bit rough, but nothing I couldn't handle.

                    Our pool is all shallow too. 3.5ft down to 6ft in the middle and back up to 4ft and the other end.

                    The plaster is as smooth as a babies bottom in our pool. It's nice when sitting in the spa.

                      I've got a friend that has pebbletec and his pool didn't seem rough by any stretch. Now if you jump from one with pebbletec to one with pebblesheen, you will notice a difference, but nothing I can't live with.

                      I would've gotten the pebblesheen, but was told that you have to have border tile below the flagstone coping, which I did not want at all, hence our final decision.

                        They finished the rock features and coping, but I'm not exactly thrilled with the height of the rock on either side of the tabletop waterfall, so need to discuss with the builder, as well as a few odd looking flagstones...

                          I didn't end up doing a waterfall like that because all of the standard ones I've seen ended up looking awkward. I went with a rock wall that trickled water across the entire wall instead. My next pool will have a larger water feature, but built into the landscape somehow.

                          I like the step into the spa too. I didn't think about that so it's a bit of a step down to get into our spa. I like your fire pit too.
