Pavers & Travertine

Elevate Your Pool Deck with Premium Pavers

There’s something undeniably luxurious about natural stone around a pool. Travertine and premium pavers transform an ordinary backyard into a resort-worthy retreat - while actually staying cooler than concrete in Arizona’s brutal summers.

At David Resurface, we install pool deck pavers and travertine that combine beauty, durability, and comfort for years of enjoyment.
