"DO NOT GET YOUR POOL FROM OASIS. We recently purchased an above ground pool. They completely destroyed our backyard. The paperwork said to expect 1-2 feet dug around for the pool. However, they dug over 6 feet and left 2-3 ft drop offs and nothing was level. When I told Caroline about the situation, she said to send her pictures. I didn’t hear a response for days. When I reached out again for an update, she told me that them coming back out to fix the yard would “void our warranty” and to “sprinkle some gravel around it.” After us pushing, she was agreeable for the grading team to come back out, but was quick to point out several times how she was “being nice” and “doing us a favor.” Unfortunately, the story gets worse. We were told multiple dates to expect the graders and various excuses were provided why they couldn’t come that day. This happened multiple times, on top of not getting a return call/text to the point where we got the Better Business Bureau involved. She was very upset when we told her and “couldn’t believe” we called them. We told her all the reasons why and she had no response except that “Charlie” the grader would be back to our house and that we were “on top of his list.” However, when we didn’t see him by 3 PM, we contacted her, and she said he was at another job and would be at our house after 5. Another lie. When Charlie did come out, he was very rude and made several sarcastic comments about “hoping this would make us happy” and that “we’ve went above and beyond for y’all.” He also hit our power pole (thankfully no damage) and crushed two bags of concrete for our deck installation. To say this has been a nightmare is putting it lightly. The ONLY good part of this is that the pool is great and that we won’t EVER have to do business with them again."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it’s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

Using a gas pool heater is the fastest way to heat an outdoor pool. Gas pool heaters are powerful and can increase pool water temperature by 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Using a gas pool heater and a solar pool cover will get your pool warm as fast as possible.

A pool enclosure could be a great decision if you’re considering dedicating funds toward pool remodeling costs. Pool enclosures offer benefits like enhanced security and keeping out dirt, debris, dust, and insects—which helps reduce the maintenance and cleaning needed—and uninvited animals and trespassers. Your enclosure can also provide extra shade and UV protection to make your pool time more enjoyable. In some cases, your pool enclosure may increase your home’s value.
