Reply to: It is poured in place concrete by a local contractor. The sea shells are added at the last minute and then finished smooth. They came back next day and pressure washed surface to expose shell aggregate.

Reply to: We do not have records of the final color for this pool, but you can achieve a similar color with a medium gray plaster. The blue comes from the sky. We generally don’t promote normal plaster in our office due to the swirling in the finish. We recommend PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, WetEdge and Hydrazzo as they are uniform finishes. You can get a similar color to this pool with Tahoe Blue in PebbleTec or Prism Blue in PebbleSheen. I would highly suggest speaking to a rep from one of these finish companies as there are many factors to consider with pool color. The two biggest issues to consider are water depth and reflected colors. The more shallow the pool, the more of the parent color of the plaster you will see and less of the blue reflection from the sky. Reflections are just as important. The pool in this photo does not have yellow or green in the plaster, but is reflecting the foliage of the large trees in the background. In this case, adding any green to the plaster would have made the water look like growing algae. I hope that helps.
