Bringing pavers all the way to the pool’s edge.

What happens here

With the thin-set mortar applied, carefully place each paver coping piece onto the fresh mortar bed. Position the coping so that its inner edge precisely aligns with the pool's perimeter. Gently tap the paver coping into place using a rubber mallet to ensure maximum contact and embedment into the mortar. Throughout this process, regularly check the level of each coping piece using a spirit level, both along its length and width, and ensure it is flush with the existing pool edge. Make any necessary adjustments by gently tapping the coping or slightly lifting and re-setting it until a perfectly flush and level surface is achieved around the entire pool.

Goal: Install paver coping flush with the pool edge
