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 canonical 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 the canonical AE base spec, sealed at handoff, and covered by a 2-year workmanship warranty.

Canonical 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.
