Coping now complete. The water feature has also been clad in matching travertine, I pulled the travertine right down to the seat so will be under water and give the water feature the illusion of being taller than the 1m it actually is.
Just have the grout to do tommorow and that part is complete.
Next part is the fence posts. Once they go in I can't concrete the surround and lay the remaining travertine to crest a second row of coping.
Pretty happy with how the look is coming together it's exactly how I wanted it, this has been a struggle at times working with trades who don't care about aesthetics but rather fastest way to do the job (always bites them when they spend double the time redoing things) but we got there in the end.
I was very specific in my cuts and made sure they were minimised and any cuts were away from vision to enhance the appeal of the stone.
Here's how it's looking now
