How to grout outdoor granite pavers around pool?

Question

We have just laid 50sqm of granite pavers around our pool. The pavers are natural granite stone, 600x300x30. We laid the pavers on a mortar bed with the a 3mm join. What is the best grout to use to grout the joins that are suitable for natural products and outdoor rated?

hi @sarah.green19

Just a thought, if you are grouting right to the edge of the pool, might I suggest putting some masking tape on the underside of the overhang of the pool as this will reduce the risk of grout being forced out the bottom of the gap and into the pool as you push the grout into the grout lines.
