"Had a pool liner replaced and what a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! From Sara and Christy in the office to Mike, Gavin and Yoti of the install crew. Just a fantastic group of professional, knowledgeable, hard working people. The girls went above and beyond in researching the correct liner and supplies that I needed to provide and the install crew weathered a 100 degree heat factor and provided the ultimate install. Refreshing to experience genuine A-1 customer service. Pardon me if I have any names misspelled. I sincerely appreciate the fantastic effort of everyone involved!"

"We are trying to find somebody to put a pool in. We called the one that Angie's List recommended and it is called Dig-M-Installers. I went to get the pool and the pool wasn't there. They didn't have the pool's parts. The other company is guaranteeing me that they will have it by the time Dig-M-Installers has scheduled the appointment. We got the quote from Dig-M-Installers. We got the paper work and everything from Dig-M-Installers. My wife got them from Angie's List. Their normal quote is 1029 dollars. I am getting a discount because it is before some date. I am getting it for 928. They are knocking off a 100 dollars. It was the only one on Angie's List and when we went on the phone book a lot of them sounded shaky. We took for granted that the one that Angie's List has was very good. The people that I came in contact with were very kind and very courteous. I saw an older man but to me they are all young as I am 70 years old. He was in his 40s and he was very nice. He was explaining to me how they would like to put it in, where they would like to put it, which would be the best situation where it won't cost me more money to have it done. They are very nice and clean. So far it is real good. They were very professional. Considering responsiveness, they were right back, right away. With this one man so far, it was very professional. I am waiting for them to install a pool and that is the next situation. I will know better once they install a pool."

"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.

"could not be happier. They did a great job for a lot less than other contractors that gave me bids. Glen the owner made sure everything was done right. Since you don't do this very often I was concerned about getting someone to do this but Leisure pools was all I could have asked for."

"Jason was very professional and timely.  His price was very competitive and timely compared to 3 others we received.
The work crew was extremely hard working and knowledgable of all things hardscape.
They arrived daily on time and cleaned up each day.
Attention to detail was excellent.
5 year warranty on all work preformed was given by Jason.  Can't imagine these wall's will move/ shift given the rock solid installation and materials used.

"One oven doesn't work at all ( my choice, see above), the "working" oven was never calibrated properly so using it is hit or miss. It's time to call American Home Shield to see about replacing the entire unit. I'm waiting to finish other home projects before calling them. I don't know if I'll request Greenway again."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

Hire a licensed pool contractor in your area with ample experience in your particular pool design. Pool contractors will walk you through both the design and installation process. They will also recommend or hire a team of subcontractors to manage clearing the land, excavating for the pool, and adding all the design and electrical touches that make your pool run smoothly.

Size is the main difference between a pool and a spool. Spools are typically about half the size of an average pool, so they’re ideal for yards without the space for a full-sized pool. Spools are also easier to heat, so they tend to be a higher temperature than pools and can be adjusted to get as hot as a spa when it’s time for a relaxing soak. Spools also contain jets and blowers, while most pools do not.

To find a leak in a small pool, place a few drops of food coloring in a random area. If the food coloring flows out, you've found your leak. However, this can be time-consuming and impractical in larger pools. The best option is to hire a pool repair specialist with ultrasonic equipment.

Upkeep. Like standard pools, the cost to maintain and service your pool is a factor. However, the benefit of a spool is that it can warm up in as little as 15 minutes, while it may take several hours to heat a standard pool. This makes owning a spool more cost-effective and energy-conscious.

Sometimes, homeowners choose to install their pool on concrete, foam tiles, or patio pavers. Leveled dirt is also fine, as long as it’s not sod or grass. Regardless, you’ll need to install sand as a buffer to prevent your liner from tearing. Some pool installers also use a protective foam pool pad.
