Trained by Lowes on how to install Choice Dek sold me on hiring this man. That was my first mistake. Buying Choice Dek from Lowes were my second and third mistakes. Lowes promised delivery of materials within two weeks of purchase. It ended up being more like a month. Once it arrived, the installer took from May to October to get the old deck torn down and the new one installed. IT WAS NOT installed properly or per the instructions recommended by Choice Dek. The deck dips in spots, creating pools of water after a storm. Moreover, the choice dek was not nailed down except at the end of the boards.
Within 6 months of buying Choice Dek, the composite material began to form mold. By the following summer, I had green mold growing in certain areas of the deck. Advanced Environment Recycling Technologies (AERT), the manufacturer of Choice Dek, sent a customer service representative to my house to look at the deck. He requested that I not accompany him on the inspection. I agreed to stay in the house. At the end of the inspection, he indicated I would get his report. Within two weeks, AERT sent a letter telling me the problems were not their fault (despite the fact they have provided class action settlement on the decking). They indicated it was installed wrong.
Contacting Lowes was also fruitless as they, too, stated this was not their fault. They noted that the list of installers was a "recommendation" and they have no responsibility to assure the quality of those they train. Pursuing action against the installer was fruitless as he is long gone. Though "trained by Lowes", it turns out that this man opened and closed various installation and construction companies to stay one step ahead of various small claims.
I've been more than a little put out by how quickly AERT and Lowes have seized this opportunity to divest themselves of all responsibility. I'll never use this Lowes again to purchase material for a construction project.

We hired this company as we thought we would like to support a local firm with our business. We will not use Stafford Nursery in the future, and suggest you consider other options if you have major landscape needs.
1. We specifically discussed with the project manager the desire for pavers between our patio and pool deck to allow for water drainage. He installed impervious pavers what basically carry water straight from our porch to our pool deck as such a rate that a heavy rain will just flush water and any debris around right into the pool. Since he had hired a subcontractor (which he never mentioned before the contract), thus the nice looking pavers are torture during any heavy rain. I have place water bags in front of the pool to try to abate the onslaught of water.
2. One part of the yard still did not drain well after the landscaping. They did nothing about it other than say it might be a problem. But they planted 4 of the 5 Leland Cypresses along that fence line. The planting was not good at all. they basically dug a hole the size of the bucket the plants were in and transferred them into the clay laden soil that would not drain. They acted surprised that the trees all completely died, which we thought was interesting, since they were a nursery. They would never come back to fix the issue. After threatening with a lawsuit, they left new cypresses on driveway. I tried to dig and properly plant them, but the impact of the lack of drainage made the area inhospitable for such plantings. I think is was about $200 per tree.... wasted.
These are the main issues. We were also disappointed in the two tiered garden, since they killed or lost many of the plants we provided, They did not construct area as we had discussed for elevation (although the plan was accurate), and they soil in the garden was the virgin clay, thus it is not possible to grow anything. It seems now that their work is complete, after $15,000.00, I need to hire a nursery or do lots of garden construction on my own.
I recommend using another company if you have a good size landscaping job. They subcontracted much of the work. I cannot say if they might have done better with in-house workers, but the project manager was not able to deliver the agreed upon work. Attempts to contact the manager or owner of Stafford Nursery have not been successful. ******************update*************************** some of the pavers are already moving/failing as their foundation has clearly given way due to water issues.

Everything done right! American Custom Concrete gets 5 stars for installing my in-ground pool deck with stamped concrete. The estimate was accurate, the costs reasonable and the hardest group of workers I've ever seen. Job quality was superb and could not be more pleased with Daniel...

Aquatic Construction originally installed our system 5 years ago and have done the service and maintenance for us ever since. They always charge a reasonable price for services, and the installation quote they gave us was the best one we found. Recently, we needed additional sprinklers added...
Very well, considering the surprise of 2 and 1/2 feet of rock that was on one side of the pool. In addition to the gravel that was around the pool, we also found a truck load of stone buried in the ground. The stone was left buried when our house was built in the 1960s. Since took out a truck...

We have a 35 year old pool and they made it like new It is beautiful. Everything went perfect, no problems at all. We hired them later to install a pool cover. We would use them again and recommend their service. In fact, I wouldn't use any other pool company.

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Fancy Gap, VA
The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.
Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.
Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.
From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
