This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.
When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.
Travertine pool decks in Arizona, cool underfoot, built on a compacted base.
AE Outdoor Living installs travertine pool decks across the Phoenix metro and greater Arizona. Light-color travertine reflects heat and stays noticeably cooler underfoot than concrete or dark tile. Every deck built to AE's base spec, sealed at handoff, and covered by a 2-year workmanship warranty.

AE base spec
2–3" compacted ABC base under travertine pool decks, 1" bedding sand, tile-set with polymeric joint sand. Never quarter-minus under pavers or travertine — that's a turf base only.
Sealing and long-term care
Every AE travertine deck sealed at handoff with a penetrating sealer. Reseal every 2–3 years to prevent stains from sunscreen, leaves, and pool chemicals. Full care schedule in the client portal.
