"First, let me just say we are real customers. We live in Savannah, GA. and are getting a complete rear yard makeover that includes a 26 Ft. pool, spa and landscaping. Mr. Parker Coleman of Local Roots and his team are handling hardscape, pavers and excavating and leveling our rear yard. Unfortunately the builder didn’t do a good job. Parker leveled the yard personally and dropped a drain to help with proper drainage. Parker is a hands on owner operator who says what he does and does what he says. Parker is very reliable and honest. The employee that handles the majority of the hardscape and paver work is an artist. Very skillful paying strict attention to detail. Jeff and Trey are great too! I would recommend Local Roots to anyone needing yard design, hardscape and paver work and I’m presently looking around for other jobs they might do at our home. Cant say enough good things about them. Forever thankful."

Established in 2016 by Chad Vlaeminck, a Veteran of the United States Army. Serving his country in Iraq from 2004-2005, in that time he received the Purple Heart and the Army Commendation Medal with Valor. As a Veteran owned company, our approach is simple. It involves listening to our customers and providing the highest quality and most cost-effective solutions to fit their pool service needs. We are a professional, reliable, affordable and serve Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach and St. Johns County.
"They gave a good quote and said they were able to do the work in a timely manner. Project started fine and we’re done with main part in two days. However, they didn’t set up the automation system correctly and there was a leak. They fixed the leak. After a third time of saying the automation didn’t work I finally fixed the automation system. They did send an electrician out to install the lights on the automation. Still have to come back to fix the spa which wasn’t on the original work but still isn’t working correctly. Overall good but not great and somewhat slow but reliable. They were much better than first company I hired who never showed up in two months."

The best above‐ground pool brands are those that exude exceptional quality and reliability. Intex, Doughboy, Kayak Pools, Bestway, Coleman, and Summer Wavesdeliver robust construction, safety, and longevity. Each brand comes with rigorous quality standards, strong warranties, and engineered durability. Evaluating product features and aftersales support ensures you choose the optimum option for your project.
Above‐ground pools built with high‐quality materials like heavy‐gauge aluminum or stainless steel can last between 10 and 20 years with diligent maintenance. In contrast, soft‐sided or inflatable models have a shorter lifespan if the installation and upkeep are not rigorous. Consistent cleaning, proper chemical balancing, and timely repairs extend the pool’s service life significantly.
The cost to hire a moving service to relocate your aboveground pool varies. The size of the pool, its weight, and the distance you’d like to move it all factor into the cost. Be sure to ask your movers ahead of time if they can take on this project, as not all pros offer this service. Professional movers charge $25 to $50 per hour, per mover.
An aboveground pool installation requires between one day and several days, depending on the pool’s dimensions, design, and site conditions. The process begins with thorough site preparation followed by the systematic assembly of pool components. Additional tasks, such as constructing an adjacent pool deck, extend the overall timeline. Efficient planning and execution ensure a secure and properly functioning pool.
An aboveground pool installation requires a consistent, level base for optimal performance. Suitable surfaces include dirt, sand, concrete, and well-maintained grass areas. Avoid rocky or uneven terrain, as it jeopardizes the pool’s stability. Preparing the site with a uniform layer of smooth sand or soil, measuring 3 to 4 inches, secures a stable and long-lasting installation.
Yes, you can convert your aboveground chlorinated pool to a saltwater pool with a dedicated conversion system that costs between $750 and $2,000, depending on pool size. This conversion enhances water quality and reduces maintenance frequency while eliminating the need for constant chlorination. It is a practical upgrade that boosts overall pool efficiency and comfort.
