Q: Is there an alternative to an endless pool?

• <div><p>Yes, many brands make models similar to endless pools with a range of features. Some companies feature temporary aboveground pools that imitate the effect of permanent installations.

Q: What are some creative ideas for repurposing the area where the pool was?

• <div><p>After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court. </p></div>

Q: I don’t want to dig. Can I build an above-ground pond?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering how to build a pond above ground, it&rsquo;s similar to building a pond below ground. Instead of digging, choose a plastic tub and install the same type of pond kit. Many homeowners find above-ground ponds a bit easier to install and maintain.

The craftsmanship was great. Harry was very good at taking out idea and making it happen. The problem is the fountain has not worked right even though he has come and “fixed” it several times. Now he doesn’t answer my texts and the system isn’t working at all. I’m very disappointed.

Clogged kitchen drain that Draino and Liquid Plumber bottles could not clear. They were efficient, friendly, and cost less than half the cost quoted by their competitors. I cannot recommend them more.

"This company responded extremely quick for my request, of which I needed. Their price was high compared charges other customer's I know who have paid for such repairs. There was a minor mix up with the charges applied to my charge card, but that was resolved quick enough. The customer has not complained about the work done. Again, the thing that was really impressed with was the response time and I can only assume that was a contributing factor for high price."
