What is PebbleTec?

PebbleTec® is a branded pebble finish — small, naturally rounded pebbles bonded into a cement matrix and troweled onto the pool surface. The result is a richer color, more durable texture, and a finish that ages gracefully over 15+ years.

Why it works in St. George

Hard water and intense UV chew through standard plaster fast in Southern Utah. The pebble aggregate is essentially inert stone — it doesn't etch, stain, or chalk the way plaster does. For long-haul pool owners, the math usually works.

What's included

Drain, chip out the existing surface, install bond coat, apply pebble finish, acid-wash to expose the pebble surface, refill, and provide cure plan.

Common questions

FAQs about pebbletec & pebble pool finishes.

Is PebbleTec worth it over plaster?

If you plan to stay in the home 10+ years, almost always yes. The lifespan difference (15–20+ years vs. 7–10 for plaster) usually beats the price premium in St. George's harsh climate.

How much does PebbleTec cost in St. George?

Most pools land between $11,000–$18,000 depending on size and color selection. The brighter sheen and Fina options run slightly higher.

Is the texture rough on feet?

Classic PebbleTec has a noticeable texture. PebbleSheen and PebbleFina are progressively smoother. If you have small kids or sensitive feet, ask for a hand sample before choosing.

Does PebbleTec hide hard-water lines?

Better than plaster, yes. The variegated color visually masks scale buildup that would look like a chalky band on a white plaster pool.
