As we speak, Backyard Aquatics from Mt. Dora is working on our pool. It is an amazing process to watch as each day a new crew arrives and performs their own specialty work. Someone has been here everyday working since the permits were secured (except for a 3-day period to let the concrete cure).

I interviewed a number of pool companies and obtained quotes before selecting Backyard Aquatics, and so far, I'm immensely pleased.

While T&D is highly recommended here on TOTV, it was like pulling teeth to get them to make an appointment for a quote and get them to respond with a quote (I had to call and email several times over a period of 6 weeks just to a quote). After receiving their design (which was horrible) and their quote, I stopped contacting them. They never followed up with me . . .? Not a good sign.

Today, we are driving to Backyard Aquatics' showroom to select our deck finish and tiles.

When the pool is complete, I'll show some photos.
