Q: How do you find a good inground pool company?

• <div><p>Finding a reputable inground pool installation company starts with an online search and assessing a company&rsquo;s positive and negative reviews. You can also check the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s reports for companies you&rsquo;re considering to see if they have numerous customer complaints for poor service. One of the best things you can do to find a good company is ask for references and then call those past customers to see how they felt during the installation process and how their pool has held up. Finally, you can get estimates from the remaining companies to compare.</p></div>

Q: How do you fill an unwanted in-ground pool?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-fill-swimming-pool.htm">steps to fill a swimming pool</a> will depend on your local building codes. However, it starts with draining the pool of all water using a submersible pump. Then your pro will lift the pool shell from the ground or break it into pieces for individual removal. The next step is filling the cavity with dirt and gravel and topping it with topsoil. Once a structural engineer deems the site safe, landscaping can start.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between pool coping and decking?

• <div><p>Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.</p></div>

Q: Are there customization options available for above-ground pools?

• <div><p>Customization options may include different pool shapes, sizes, decks, and additional accessories like ladders or pool lights.</p></div>
