Tundra Grey Harmony – A Unified Marble Pool Retreat in McLean

Set within a mature, wooded property in McLean, Virginia, this sophisticated pool and spa project demonstrates how a consistent material palette can create a more cohesive outdoor environment.

The entire pool deck is finished with sandblasted Tundra Grey Marble pavers in a French Pattern, complemented by matching 2-inch eased-edge Tundra Grey Marble pool copings. Rather than outlining the pool with a contrasting stone or decorative border, the same material continues directly to the water’s edge. This creates a seamless transition between the deck and coping, allowing the pool area to feel larger, calmer, and more unified.

The subtle silver-grey coloring and natural movement of Tundra Grey Marble work beautifully with the home’s modern black-and-white exterior. At the same time, the stone’s organic variation connects the architecture with the surrounding lawn and mature trees. The French Pattern introduces texture and movement across the deck while maintaining the refined, understated character of the overall design.

The rectangular swimming pool is accompanied by an integrated spa and a spacious shallow lounging ledge. A series of arcing deck jets adds movement and a resort-inspired element without interrupting the project’s clean geometry. Matching marble is also carried around the spa, helping it feel like an intentional part of the complete poolscape rather than a separate feature.

Developed through the combined involvement of Cherry Hill Custom Homes and Paramount Pools, this McLean project is an excellent example of how thoughtful material continuity can elevate a residential pool design. By using matching Tundra Grey Marble for both the pavers and copings, the finished space feels cohesive from every viewing angle and requires no contrasting border to define the pool.
