For the excavation equipment to fit into your backyard you will need a 6\' opening.

The excavated material can be hauled away at an additional charge per load.

When installing a pool in a yard with an existing wood deck the degree of difficutly may become increased. If the customer desires installation of the pool flush with the deck there will be additional charges depending on how many sections of the pool that the deck will border. If the customer does not desire flush installation of pool with deck the pool then will be installed at least 18\" away from deck and there will be no additional charges.

Some things that should be considered when scheduling are the weather, permits, site issues, pools that are defective or missing pieces and employees being sick or having a family emergency.

Some things that you want to consider when choosing a contractor are to confirm their license and complaint history.

The types of decks that are made for a round pool are a 3\'x5\', 5\'x6\', 2pc fan, 3pc fan, 5pc fan and a walk around.

The types of deck you can put on your oval pool are a 3\'x5\', 5\'x6\', 2pc fan, 3pc fan, 5pc fan, 5\'x9\' side, 5\'x12\' side, 5\'x15\' side, end and walk around.

There are three different types of liners available which are the beaded, overlap and j-hook liner. The beaded liner hooks into and hangs from a bead receiver track under the top rail. The overlap liner goes over the pool wall and is held on by the top rail. With an overlap liner you can either leave, cut or roll up the excess liner that hangs down the side of the pool wall. The j-hook liner hooks onto the top of the pool wall and is held on by the top rail. With the j-hook liner there is no excess liner that hangs down the side of the pool wall.

A slat wall pool comes in hundreds of pieces that interlock together to make the wall of the pool. A rolled wall comes in one piece that you unroll and seam it together with a row of bolts to make the wall of the pool. A slat wall pool is the strongest wall that is available but there is more labor involved in assembling the pool.

A walk deck is an approximately 18\" wide aluminum deck that surrounds the permiter of the pool with an aluminum fence. Only a couple of pool manufacturers offer this with their pools.

Aluminum decks usually come with a steep aluminum ladder with one to two handrails to access the deck, this ladder is sometimes hinged in order to flip up vertically. A grand entrance on the other hand is a wide aluminum staircase with two fenced rails on the side and a self latching gate at the base. A grand entrance is most commonly applied with the Esther Williams or Johnny Weismuller end deck.

A foam base is a closed cell polymer pad that is designed to last for many years. A foam base can help protect the liner from roots, rocks and other objects beneath the pool and can help keep a smooth and consistent bottom.

A buttress pool is an oval pool that has diagonal bracing on the straight sides of the pool that extend out approximately 3ft from the side of the pool.

Sprinklers are a common but easy issue. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SPRINKLER REPAIRS. You should turn off and flag all sprinkler heads prior to excavation so they are easier to avoid. Any lines in or around the pool area WILL BE damaged or removed by our excavation equipment. We will leave any lines we encounter exposed for your sprinkler company to repair and reroute.

When installing a pool on a sloped yard, the excavator would determine the depth of the slope and excavate into the slope to make the site level and ready for installation.

You do not necessarily need wall foam but it does help extend the life of your pool and liner. Wall foam is available in different thicknesses and is a sheet of foam that is placed on the wall of the pool and is a barrier between the sand cove and the wall. The wall foam also acts as a cushion for the liner reducing the wear and ability to puncture the liner.

You will need new sand when replacing a pool. We cannot guarentee your new liner if the old sand is used. Your sand may have been affected if your old pool failed.

You will not need new sand for a liner change unless your liner has a leak. We will only be able to judge if and how much sand you need when we arrive to the site.

Another option for a pool base besides sand would be a foam base. A foam base is a closed cell polymer pad that is designed to last for many years. A foam base can help protect the liner from roots, rocks and other objects beneath the pool and can help keep a smooth and consistent bottom.
