"We are thrilled that we chose LoyalLandscaping, LLC for our custom pool & patio project. Despite the pretty aggressive timeline we had in mind, Roger and his crew consistently met our expectations for reliability, punctuality, quality of work, and communication. They obviously already have a stellar reputation (I researched all their reviews before hiring them), but weâ re proud to add our names to their list of satisfied clients. Right from the first meeting, Rogerâ s genuine love for what he does, and his ability to clearly explain every step of the process to ensure we were comfortable with the plan, was obvious. He was transparent about everything involved (potential obstacles included) and made recommendations for our inground pool and patio based on our goals and budget without any pressure to upsell. We liked that LoyalLandscaping could complete the entire project themselves (pool and hardscaping) so we didnâ t have to coordinate multiple busy contractors on a tight deadline. Roger ensured that we understood every step of the process and he quickly responded to all texts, calls and emails (and believe me, I had a lot of questions about everything, which he patiently answered again and again). He and his team were able to take our vision and run with it, while keeping us actively involved throughout the process, right down to the last detail. LoyalLandscaping did an amazing job of bringing the entire project to life and Rogerâ s personalized customer service proved that they genuinely care about their clients as well as the quality of the finished project. I also cannot say enough about their amazing hardworking crew. Every single person we met was personable, trustworthy, respectful, and provided the highest level of customer service and hard work. They were all kind and courteous and ended up feeling like good friends since they were around our home and family for several months during the project. They always arrived on time (even some weekends to stay on schedule) and worked incredibly hard regardless of rain, heat, poor air quality, blazing sun, etc. If you want a trustworthy company that does high quality work, has excellent customer service and truly wonderful employees, donâ t hesitate calling Roger and his team to make your vision a reality!"

"Excellent. I needed a new base for the pool equipment which was not level. In addition, I wanted to have the pool completely renovated-new plaster/gunite. Went with Diamond Brite for the Aggregate Finish. The company works as a team led by the owner Kevin. The work was done on schedule. The company kept all moving along well. The communication was good-I was always able to reach someone whether it was Kevin or the office manager Elizabeth. The individuals working for S&R know their jobs and were able to provide helpful suggestions to improve all whether it was the equipment or the pool itself."

"I couldn’t be happier. This company was recommended by a landscape architect. Alex, promptly gave me a reasonable quote, provided excellent ideas, showed up on promised start date, he and his crew performed all tasks expected, and then some! Was always available to consult, worked 7 days a week, and completed job on the date promised, for the quoted price. No surprises. Wonderful, courteous crew. Exceeded my expectations! Would recommend for any job!"

"Chris and his team are great and very professional. You can can always call and ask him anything during the process and he will answer you quickly. They did the landscaping for me after my inground pool was put in. It looks beautiful and clean. Pavers look gorgeous around pool and everything was done fairly quick. I would definitely recommend Chris and his team"

Install Above Ground Pools FAQs, answered by experts

There are a few differences when it comes to winterizing above- vs. inground pools. Above ground pool winterization usually involves less hassle, time, and expense than the process for winterizing an inground pool. All the lines on an above ground pool are easy to access, making draining easier. Plus, above ground pools are typically smaller, meaning cleaning is quicker, and chemicals cost less.

Yes, you will need building permits for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between $400 and $1,800, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between $50 and $500. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.

It is possible to install an above-ground pool yourself in about six hours, provided your yard isn't too sloped or you don't have many trees. It's imperative to ensure your ground is level; otherwise, your pool could collapse. Contact a swimming pool installer for an in-ground pool installation or to ensure your above-ground pool is installed correctly.

You don’t need to drain the whole pool to patch a pool liner, but be prepared to dive in with your swimsuit and goggles to patch a leak below the water level. By draining the pool, you can actually expose the liner to more harsh conditions, like wind and sunlight, that cause the tears to worsen. It’s best to use the ink test and waterproof patches or tape to identify the leak and patch it up.

Your indoor pool can be heated or unheated, but the decision depends on your local climate. In regions with freezing temperatures, heating your pool will keep it warm during the winter, especially if it’s only covered with a greenhouse enclosure. 

If you keep your swimming water warm and toasty, budget between $300 and $5,700 for the cost of installing a pool heater.
