The interior finish is the part of your pool you see, feel, and live with every day. Here's why we won't build with anything less.
Traditional white plaster (marcite) is the cheapest way to finish a pool — and it shows. In Florida's sun and year-round swim season, standard plaster often starts staining, etching, and going rough in as little as 5–7 years.
PebbleTec® is different. It's a finish made of natural pebbles, hand-applied and water-polished, that bonds with the pool shell to create a surface proven over millions of square feet of pools worldwide since 1987.
It costs more up front. It's worth it every year after.
Elite Builder is PebbleTec's highest builder tier — reserved for qualified, vetted installers held to the manufacturer's standards. Not every pool company can apply PebbleTec to spec. When Old Palm finishes your pool, you're getting a genuine PebbleTec finish, installed the way it's meant to be.
Pebble finishes routinely last two to three times longer than standard plaster — often the life of the pool itself.
Dozens of natural pebble blends — from bright tropical blues to deep lagoon tones — that make the water itself the showpiece.
Natural stone stands up to chlorine, salt systems, and the Florida sun far better than painted or troweled plaster.
A smooth-but-grippy texture that's easy on feet and safer on steps, ledges, and shallow areas where kids play.
A dense, non-porous surface gives algae fewer places to take hold, which means less brushing and more balanced chemistry.
PebbleTec finishes are installed by trained, authorized builders to the manufacturer's standard — not a generic mix from a bag.
