Natural stone has been used in outdoor environments for millennia — Roman courtyards, Mediterranean terraces, and contemporary California outdoor living spaces all share the same foundation: genuine stone that handles outdoor conditions while improving in character with age.
Travertine for Outdoor Use
Travertine is the most widely used natural stone for outdoor residential applications in warm climates. Its thermal properties — staying cooler underfoot than concrete or ceramic in direct sun — make it a practical pool deck and patio material. Ivory (Light), Silver Pewter Blend, Walnut, Noce, Scabos, and Durango Cream Travertine are all represented in outdoor formats.
For outdoor floors and patios, tumbled or brushed and chiseled travertine provides a non-slip surface. Verify outdoor suitability and freeze-thaw performance per SKU for your specific climate.
Outdoor Applications
Patio and terrace: Tumbled or filled and honed travertine in 12x12, 12x24, or 18x18. French pattern sets in Ivory or Walnut Travertine for a traditional courtyard appearance.
Pool surround and deck: Travertine is the dominant material for pool decks in warm climates. Available in field tile and large-format coping pieces.
Walkways and exterior steps: Tumbled or brushed finishes for grip. Verify slip rating and thickness per SKU.
Exterior accent walls: Split-face ledger panels and field tile in select travertine families.
