The Aqua Sand Paradise project in Peoria, AZ represents a masterclass in cohesive outdoor living design, spanning 1,800 square feet of seamlessly integrated natural stone across a resort-style residential property. Drawing exclusively from ANS MERMER's Aqua Sand collection, this Peoria, AZ stone project achieves a warm, sun-bleached coastal aesthetic perfectly suited to the Arizona climate — where both extreme heat and UV exposure demand materials that perform as beautifully as they look. From the natural stone patio to the pool coping and beyond, premium Aqua Sand pavers deliver a unified design language throughout every outdoor zone.

Stone Selection

Every surface in this project was sourced from the Aqua Sand collection, featuring sandblasted, modern tumbled pavers in a 3cm thickness engineered for heavy outdoor use. Four format sizes — 6x6, 6x12, 12x12, and 12x24 inches — were deployed across distinct zones, with the ANS Combo Pattern variant introducing dynamic visual rhythm in high-visibility areas. The sandblasted finish provides a naturally textured, slip-resistant surface ideal for wet environments, while the tumbled edges lend an organic, time-worn character that complements Peoria's desert landscape without sacrificing precision or durability.

Applications

• Patio: The 12x24 and ANS Combo Pattern pavers establish a generous entertaining surface with a relaxed, resort-style flow.

• Flooring: Consistent 12x12 Aqua Sand pavers create a clean indoor-to-outdoor transition across covered transition areas.

• Pool Coping: The 6x12 sandblasted pavers were selected for pool coping, offering a refined edge profile with excellent slip resistance.

• Pool Deck: Large-format 12x24 pavers span the pool deck, minimizing grout lines and maximizing a luxurious, uninterrupted surface.

• Walkway: The 6x6 and 6x12 formats guide movement through the landscape with purposeful, finely scaled patterning.

• Landscape: The ANS Combo Pattern integrates organically into planted borders, anchoring the softscape with natural stone framing.

Project Highlights

• Total installed area of 1,800 square feet across six distinct application zones using a single cohesive stone collection.

• Multi-format installation strategy using five SKUs from the Aqua Sand line to create scale variation without visual discontinuity.

• 3cm pavers selected throughout for structural integrity under Arizona's thermal cycling and poolside moisture conditions.

• Sandblasted tumbled finish balances slip safety at the pool edge with an elevated aesthetic across dry entertaining zones.

• Seamless material palette across patio, walkway, and pool environments eliminates visual fragmentation common in mixed-material outdoor projects.
