"David McLaughlin and his workers were very good at creating a back yard for us with paver patio and walkway. one thing I appreciated is that David took the time to listen to our vision for creating a back yard space that compliments the lake view. He did a rendering and it was far more beautiful than we expected. We had Custom Landscapes install an above ground pool and loved his idea to build a deck around the oval pool. We appreciate Dave's communication when a product was delayed or we had weather related issues he would let us know. We did appreciate that working in the weather environment sometimes would create a delay in our goals for completing. Thank you Dave! I wish I could post some before and after projects."

Concrete Ink originated in 2011 with a vision of providing concrete flooring solutions for residential customers. We began our foray into the decorative concrete flooring business with the coloring (acid staining), and polishing of existing residential concrete basement floors. Creating an artful finished floor solution out of the existing 4″ thick concrete substrate proved to be a perfect marriage of utility and beauty. Since that time, we have been installing, training and broadening our scope of efforts to include retail, commercial and industrial flooring solutions for our clients. The positive feedback and increased demand for our residential work validated our original premise, and opened our eyes to the infinite creative possibilities within our industry. Over the years, we have focused on honing our skills by seeking out and training with the best instructors and installers in our industry. Our continued commitment to expanding our knowledge has sent us to California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah. Our client base now reaches across the United States, and we are proud of our reputation and results. We look forward to working with you soon! Contact us today for a FREE estimate

"Steve is kind of like a bumbling used car salesman. He talks and talks, making promises he does not follow thru on. If you give him an hour for an appointment, plan on two. Plan on lots of stories. We hired Steve for some patio and landscape work in 2018 after talking with a half dozen or so contractors. We selected Steve because he had vision. We gave him some creative space and asked what he would do. He drew up some plans and a quote. We decided to go for it. When Steve and crew planted our landscape items in October, some of them looked dead on arrival. Steve assured us the plants would come back in the spring, and if they didn't, he would replace them. They didn't and he wont return phone calls or texts. (It is now mid June, calls began in April) He also said he would bring more dirt for a grade issue. He didn't. While on site, the crew took existing landscape stones that I had to ask to be returned. I don't think they were the same stones... they definitely don't look the same. Our work was in the back yard, these stones were not. We misjudged our measurements and had extra trees planted in a different location because they wouldn't fit (and Steve couldn't take them back). They didn't make it thru the winter because they don't like dog urine-- something I feel like Steve should've recommended against their location with our pets (we specifically asked about items that were dog friendly AND he met the dogs). It seems as if there is little communication between Steve and "the office" (his wife, Brenda) or they use this as a good cop/bad cop routine? Steve stated he could work out some financing for the last 3rd of our bill, but we were able to pay in full without financing. We had some extra deck work done outside the original bid. This last work was less than 1/10th of our total bill, yet Brenda called relentlessly for the payment. The first time she called we hadn't even received a statement yet! When we called them out for this behavior, we fell out of favor and stopped getting returned calls. So, no replacements for 5 or 6 dead plants, no dirt to fix the grade up to the patio. The work was fine, but service after the sale is non-existent. Please don't reply to this message, just return my calls!"

"Stole my money. They sent out their son, Cody, to open our pool. Originally to open the pool was $300 including chemicals. Then several requests were made for "miscalculations". We started getting suspicious when he requested $40 for gas through Cash App. After $580, only thing done was the pump hoses were connected and a new plastic basket installed. Tried to contact the son a few times for a refund, but he won't return any calls."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Depending on your budget, wants, and needs, a pool enclosure can be a worthwhile investment. It all comes down to how much you use your pool, and what it would mean to you to have year-round access to it.

If you know that you'll swim in your pool a lot, then having an enclosure means you don't have to worry about the weather. It's also a lot easier to maintain the water, because you don't have to deal with leaves falling into the pool, and the water's chemical levels tend to be more stable.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider building a fence around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

A pool enclosure could be a great decision if you’re considering dedicating funds toward pool remodeling costs. Pool enclosures offer benefits like enhanced security and keeping out dirt, debris, dust, and insects—which helps reduce the maintenance and cleaning needed—and uninvited animals and trespassers. Your enclosure can also provide extra shade and UV protection to make your pool time more enjoyable. In some cases, your pool enclosure may increase your home’s value.
