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.
Thank so you much for your input!
