Travertine Paver Installation

What This Service Involves

Travertine is a natural limestone formed by mineral springs, valued for a soft, earthy palette of ivory, walnut, and silver tones that stays cool underfoot. Its naturally pitted, tumbled surface grips well when wet, which is a genuine benefit around pools and on the rain-slicked patios common here. Because travertine is more porous than granite, we seal it and grade for aggressive drainage so standing water does not linger through our wet months. Installed over a compacted base, it delivers a high-end Mediterranean look that softens the gray Northwest light.
