"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

Gunite pools are not exactly easy to maintain—but we wouldn't call them "high maintenance." It's one of the longest-lasting pool options, but its porous surface does require a lot of care. You’ll need to thoroughly clean the pool often to prevent stubborn algae growth, and the pool will require higher chemical levels to keep it clean. 

A 24-foot diameter pool is the most popular size for a round above ground model, while 15 by 30 feet is a common choice for oval-shaped pools. However, you'll find round sizes everywhere between 8 and 33 feet. Oval pools range up to 21 by 41 feet but can be customized to stretch much longer. Choosing the right size will come down to where you can level your yard and how many swimmers plan to use the pool at a given time.

Common problems include liner tears, pump malfunctions, and algae buildup. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.

Liquid chlorine is better for shock treatments or instances where you need to raise your chlorine levels quickly. Tablets are better for regular maintenance. Tablets take more time to dissolve but require less effort. You don’t need to measure out volume, and you can set them in a floater and let that do the work.

Yes, pool pumps use a significant amount of electricity, making them one of the biggest energy consumers in a home. A pool pump can use up to three times as much electricity as a refrigerator. Typically, a residential pool pump consumes about 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) for every hour it runs. Because pumps often need to run for about eight hours a day to properly filter the water, this can add up to an annual consumption of 3,000 to 5,000 kWh, which can cost between $480 and $800 per year based on average electricity rates.

The amount of electricity your pump uses depends on its size, energy efficiency, and daily run time. To lower your energy consumption, you can choose an energy-efficient or variable-speed pump, ensure it is correctly sized for your pool, and run it only for the minimum time required to keep the water clean.
