Natural Loose Stone Around Pools

Proper installation is important for achieving a durable and attractive natural loose stone pool surround.

Ground Preparation

The base should be properly prepared before placing loose stone.

Drainage

Good drainage can help maintain the appearance of the stone and prevent water accumulation.

Stone Depth

Different applications may require different stone depths depending on appearance and maintenance considerations.

Edging

Landscape edging can help keep loose stone in place and create a cleaner transition between stone and other surfaces.

Combining Materials

Loose stone can be used with:

• Natural paving

• Timber decking

• Grass

• Plants

• Decorative walls

Pool landscapes should be designed as complete outdoor spaces rather than separate components.

For larger commercial projects, contractors should follow project drawings and local construction requirements.
