Also talk to a couple of concrete guys. If you are at all handy, you can often do the form and prep work yourself, get it approved, and then have a concrete guy who does side work do the pour on an evening or weekend (often with a partial truckload left over from another job.
This can save you half of the job price or more, and the important parts (the pour and float work) is still done by a professional. There are also some very good rubber-based paving products for use around pools as decking. I think the price has come down to be in the same range as tile (but, as always, cheaper than concrete) On 4/6/06, Duane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Slick tiles would be a real concern.
