Big Tex stocks travertine, natural paving, Lueders slabs, and flagstone suitable for pool coping applications. Travertine is the most commonly selected pool coping material in the DFW area because it stays relatively cool underfoot in direct sun, has a consistent cut size and smooth finish, and holds up well to pool chemicals and moisture over time. Natural paving offers a similar uniform profile with different color and texture options. Lueders slabs and flagstone are used where a more natural or rustic edge is preferred. The pool coping product page at bigtexstone.com/products/pool-coping has additional detail on what is in stock.

Travertine is a popular pool coping material in Texas because it stays cooler underfoot than many other stone types in direct summer sun, which matters on a pool deck that sees heavy barefoot traffic. It is also cut to consistent dimensions, drains well at the pool edge, and holds up to chlorine exposure, splash, and UV without significant fading or surface degradation. Big Tex stocks travertine in multiple finishes including honed and brushed profiles. Stop in to see current options before ordering.

Pool coping quantity is typically calculated by linear foot based on the perimeter of the pool. For a rectangular pool, perimeter is straightforward - length plus width times two. Freeform pools require measuring the actual edge. Big Tex's materials calculator can give you a starting figure and the yard team can help confirm how pieces should be ordered based on the dimensions of the coping product you select and the profile of your pool edge.
