    rocks that size will be EXtremely heavy...not sure you would be able to get them to your pool...and once there i doubt the couple inches of cement will supprt them.......Look on line for fake rocks and use adhesive to stick them in place

    I agree with acid washing the area first. When acid washing, hand scrub the area while the acid sits on the rocks. Then wipe the area clean with fresh water. Let sit for a few hours and then lay your tile of choice. There are many tiles to choose from, whatever you use, make sure it has some rough texture to it. Otherwise it will be very slippery when wet. You may want to look into some of the natural stones. Not only are they beautiful but, they have great texture as well. Before I forget, use a latex fortified thinset. Good luck.
