The Royal Oasis project in Cave Creek, Arizona represents a masterclass in cohesive outdoor stone design — transforming 1,500 square feet of pool and patio space into a resort-caliber retreat. Completed in 2025 by Rodriguez Development, this natural stone pool deck and patio installation showcases the timeless warmth of the Royal Cream collection, demonstrating how a single stone family, expressed across multiple finishes and formats, can deliver both visual harmony and superior performance in Arizona's demanding climate.

Stone Selection

Every surface in the Royal Oasis project draws from ANS MERMER's Royal Cream collection — a richly veined, warm-toned natural stone prized for its elegance and outdoor durability. The design integrates two distinct finishes across seven product formats: a Honed 36×75 3cm Slab for refined, large-format surfaces, and a range of Leathered 3cm Modern Tumbled Pavers in sizes including 6×6, 6×12, 12×12, 12×24, 16×16, and a custom ANS Combo Pattern. The leathered finish was selected for its slip-resistance and tactile depth — critical for wet pool environments — while the honed slab delivers a polished counterpoint for the patio's feature zones.

Applications

• Pool Deck: Royal Cream Leathered Modern Tumbled Pavers in the ANS Combo Pattern and multiple field sizes create a non-slip, visually dynamic surround that complements the pool water and withstands prolonged sun exposure.

• Patio: The Royal Cream Honed 36×75 3cm Slab anchors the patio with large-format elegance, providing a seamless, sophisticated surface ideal for outdoor living and entertaining.

• Coping: Precision-cut Royal Cream stone serves as pool coping, unifying the water's edge with the surrounding deck for a clean, continuous aesthetic finish.

Project Highlights

• 1,500 square feet of integrated natural stone across pool deck, patio, and coping applications

• Single-collection design strategy using Royal Cream in multiple formats and finishes for layered visual cohesion

• Leathered tumbled pavers selected for slip resistance, UV stability, and low maintenance in Arizona's extreme heat

• ANS Combo Pattern layout adds artisanal character without disrupting the project's clean, modern aesthetic
