"I researched a new pool service last fall after receiving unacceptable results from the pool company that had maintained my pool for more than a decade. Praxis pools responded to my request immediately with interest in taking over the maintenance as well as opening and closing of the pool. Not only is the service currently way above what I have received in past years, it is clear the Praxis goes the extra mile to satisfy their customers expectations. I would highly recommend Praxis pools for your annual service."

"Considering the weather over the winter and spring, it went very well. By the time the weather calmed down they were behind the 8 ball, just as every other business in Maryland. Non the less, they always returned my calls and/or sent someone out to help me with a few start up issues. Everything is running beautifully!!

"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been
leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar
between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My
pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one
stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on
enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she
vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline
and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the
edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding
down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump
and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to
the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had
a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from
expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked
up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in
ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is
magic.

"It went Great! The gentleman who oversaw the entire project ran into a few small unexpected obstacles but overcame them with no extra charge. The small retaining wall settled after a few months so immediately after I called to ask about it- without my knowing- they came out, fixed it and all has been great since so- AWESOME!!
They helped me move some plants we had to dig up as well- so that was nice.
Overall- AWESOME Patio. Lines are straight, everything looks AWESOME a year later and I'd totally use them again.

"First, the positives: - Great value for the service provide (especially with the Angie's List coupon) - Friendly and efficient crew - Team is equipped with necessary tools - Debris hauling is included Now, the negatives: - Difficult to contact and schedule appointment (phone goes straight to voicemail; no reply to e-mail) - Crew arrived 1.5 hours after scheduled time - The team is a bit rough - they broke five solar lights (suggestion - remove anything fragile from your garden before they get started) I would use Budget Landscape again, mitigating the negatives listed above."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Your property is a great candidate for pool and spa service if you have adequate yard space and proper zoning. Baltimore experiences intense freeze-thaw cycles, making older concrete pools perfect candidates for resurfacing and equipment updates. Hire a local professional to assess your soil stability, check for clay-heavy ground, and ensure your yard sits safely outside designated flood zones before starting any major structural work.

Helpful?

Combining pool and spa service with other exterior upgrades is an excellent strategy. Pair this work with landscaping improvements to fix drainage issues caused by heavy clay soils in MD. You can also tackle deck resurfacing to repair winter freeze-thaw damage or install compliant safety fencing at the same time. Coordinate the project sequence with your contractor to keep the inspection process moving smoothly.

Helpful?

Failing to properly winterize your system before the first hard freeze causes severe damage to pool construction and installation work. Allowing water to pool against the shell in Baltimore’s poorly draining clay soil accelerates deck cracking. You must also test fill water chemistry before adding treatments, as the MD municipal water supply contains specific minerals. Finally, neglecting heavy leaf debris accelerates staining and clogs filtration systems.

Helpful?

Start by submitting your permit applications well before the intended start date. Contact the Maryland utility location service at least two business days before digging. Conduct a thorough soil and water table assessment, as Baltimore’s clay soils and varying water tables heavily influence pool engineering. Finally, plan the equipment pad layout early to ensure proper winterization for pool construction and installation plumbing lines.

Helpful?

Assess the structural condition of the existing pool shell. In Baltimore areas with high water tables, cracking or bowing indicates severe hydrostatic pressure and requires immediate pool construction and installation work. Waiting risks exponential structural damage. Conversely, cosmetic resurfacing or deck refinishing projects can wait until spring. Always start the permit process early in the year to ensure readiness for the MD spring construction season.
