"⚠️ Read before deciding to go with this company! ⚠️ I regret ignoring the negative reviews when I chose Sweeney’s to install my pool. They damaged my property, have taken no accountability and have chosen a vindictive approach to the matter. I urge you to read my experience, and the other negative reviews posted, and think about whether you can trust them to work at your home. They excavated my yard at the end of November 2024 during heavy rain, then left the ground unbackfilled for 12 days. This left my concrete stairs unsupported, with the footing exposed (see photos) and the stairs became detached from my patio. When I contacted Sweeney’s with photos, they relied on their mason affiliate, Devin of Flawless Masonry, who stated the stairs were improperly constructed. THEY DID NOT ASSESS THE SITUATION IN PERSON, NOT THEN OR EVER! I spoke with Devin prior to excavation and he assured me that the stairs were ok and they would not need additional support, I have the text message proof. I never heard from Ken Sweeney directly; however, communication with Reed Communiello, the project manager, on behalf of Sweeney’s has been extremely disheartening. An agreement was discussed where Devin would resolve the situation at cost, at our expense. I received an email from Sweeney's attorney, which included a non-disparagement clause. I agreed to not speak about the issue with the stairs but I felt it left me without recourse should the remaining work not be completed satisfactorily. I agreed to the terms however, Sweeney’s contacted the Town of Hempstead inquiring whether my patio and staircase were built without permits, which unbeknownst to us they were (built prior to 1996; purchased the home in 2018). Sweeney’s rescinding the agreement. They think a homeowner does not have rights when structures are not permitted but that is not the case. My real estate attorney attempted to reach out to them through their attorney, but to no avail. I attempted to retrieve liability insurance. They submitted the only insurance required by the ToH, worker’s compensation, under a different company, JAS Aquatics. They also changed the Contractor Information Form listing the contractor as JAS Aquatics. When I questioned this, I was told “The entities doing the work are valid with the insurance submitted.” I am unsure if Sweeney’s does hold liability insurance or not. I hired a civil and structural engineer. The engineer's report confirmed that the structures were built properly, despite lacking permits. He noted that Sweeney’s was negligent for not supporting the stairs while leaving the footing exposed for 12 days, in which 6 of those days it rained. Sweeney’s dismissed the report—again, without ever coming to assess the situation in person. I am left with no choice but to demolish and rebuild the stairs myself. Due to their spiteful actions of reporting me to the ToH, I now need to have plans drawn up to obtain permits for my patio, stairs and enclosed entryway before any further work can be done. This not only delays the process, it escalates cost. My property has been left in disarray for over a month. I paid in full for the excavation process, yet my deep end is still not dug out. My gate has been disassembled and left that way, my existing pavers were destroyed during the excavation, and my back fence became uneven due to being left without backfill for 20 days. I had to request for them to come back to do the backfill so the fence didn’t collapse. There is also a pile of boxes on my driveway—some empty and others filled with equipment. If this review helps even one person avoid a similar experience, it will be worth it. The stairs existed for at least 30 years without any issue and only detached once Sweeney’s left the exposed concrete footing unsupported for 12 days in the rain. My situation may be unique, but the lack of accountability from Sweeney’s is not, as you can see from other reviews. You do not want to find yourself on the wrong side of Sweeney’s, because once you do they will treat you with utter disregard. Choose wisely!"

The best pool deck material depends on your needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a low-cost option for an in-ground pool, poured concrete or pavers are a good way to reduce costs. If you want a luxurious look for your above- or in-ground pool deck (and don’t mind regular maintenance), hardwood could be the best option. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds, low-maintenance, durable composite might be the right choice.
For a pool deck of 100 to 300 square feet, expect a professional installation to take at least five to seven days. It may take even longer if you need extensive site prep, hardscaping, or tree removal, or if there are delays in getting a permit. If you’re building a very complex, elevated, or multi-level pool deck, expect the project to take two to four weeks.
The best way to clean most pool decks of grime is with a pressure washer, though you’ll need to research the material of your deck to make sure you don’t damage it. Always pretreat the surface with the proper cleaning agent and test your pressure washer on a small area before cleaning the whole thing.
If you want a proportionate pool deck with lots of room to relax, simply make it the same square footage as your pool. If you instead want a walk-around pool deck, first take the length and width of your pool (e.g., 10’ x 20’), add four feet to each side (i.e., 18’ x 28’), and subtract the area of your pool (10 ’x 20’ = 200 square feet) from the total area (18’ x 28’ = 504 square feet). The resulting number (304 square feet) is the square footage of your walkaround pool deck.
