- Natural stone. You can save on the cost of natural stone by choosing a local material from a nearby quarry. A flagstone patio can even feature plants between each stone. The material is long lasting and easy stones are easy to replace if they become cracked, but it does require annual maintenance.
- Stamped concrete. If you want to personalize your pool design, stamped concrete is a good option as it can be stained in various colors and stamped in any design. The downside of this material is repairs and additions are noticeable.
- Travertine. A high-end option, travertine is one of the best choices for pool patios, if you can afford it, for its durability, fade resistance, and non-skid surface.
