"Gary did an excellent job leveling out humps in my hard and filling in holes that were created from rotted stumps. He is very knowledgeable in what was needed to get the results I was looking for. When he was through with my yard I was the happiest person ever. My yard looked better than I imagined. Gary went above & beyond my expectations. I was very appreciative! I would highly recommend his services."

"We scheduled Fairway Electric to come out and install 6 ceiling fans and an electrical outlet. Brian did an amazing job and even helped us get through some things the builder forgot with certain brackets in our ceiling. Brian also installed a new outlet for a wine fridge the builder forgot too. One other thing I am very grateful is that I had Brian look at our septic tank (this is a new construction house) and the electricians before wired the thing incorrectly and was filling up and we didn't even know it. Given the reputation of our custom home builder I had him take a look and he fixed the wiring which fixed our pump...THANK GOD! The only thing left to fix is an alarm float which the septic people are coming out to replace. Thank you so much for your help Brian..."

"We hired Austin Landscaping for a complete backyard overhaul after our pool installation. Daryl was great to work with and always came through no matter what challenges came up. They installed a full irrigation system, grading, topsoil, sod, drainage, new beds, mulch, stones, walkways, and bushes. We will be using them again in the future for additional service. It is refreshing to find a company with great ethics. They were always on time and came back to finish when things took a little longer than they thought."

"The purchase process took several months as I took the opportunity to educate myself about the current technologies. Tri-City, via Synergy in Ballantyne, was extremely helpful and provided a no-pressure experience. I spoke to several vendors and received quotes from five. All of the quotes were higher than my final cost. The installation process was not painless as there were some issues with equipment failure. However, the vendor did their level best to minimize the impact upon me and made everything right without complaint."

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

When looking into fiberglass vs. concrete pools, you will notice a big price difference. A fiberglass pool costs $15,000 to $75,000, whereas a concrete pool costs $35,000 to $100,000. While concrete pools are customizable, fiberglass is faster to install and requires less maintenance. Additionally, you can expect to pay $25,000 to maintain a concrete pool over a ten-year span. On the other hand, a fiberglass pool only requires basic maintenance like testing water levels and cleaning.

You should always run your pool pump in freezing weather to keep the water moving. Doing so prevents the pool water from freezing and protects your pool from the damage that often comes along with frozen water. You should also run your pool pump when temperatures are approaching freezing, as a precaution. There’s no need to run a pool heater during the winter, as keeping water moving is generally enough to keep it from freezing.

You can place many materials under a pool to level it, including sand, concrete, solid foam, pavers, or finely crushed gravel. You can also use a tamper or roller to level ground without using a shovel to dig. No matter the material, make sure to level the ground with sand first for a smooth, even surface for the pool to sit on.

DIY is not recommended due to its complexity. Professional installation ensures proper fitting and longevity.

The disadvantages of container pools come down to flexibility and customization. Shipping containers come in standard sizes, so the sizes and shapes are limited. They also have a very distinctive look, which may not suit the aesthetic of your backyard. 

Beyond that, while container pools are more affordable than in-ground pools, certain models can be more expensive. This includes the cost to heat your pool, since the metal walls have more heat transfer than other types of pools (which some brands circumvent with insulation).
