During design - we could see realtime changes made to the computer rendering and get a great look at how the finished product would turn out. During construction, our project manager kept us abreast of everything and the crew worked hard, were respectful to our property and family & completed the job within the communicated timeline. We get so many compliments on our pool and definitely recommend Hive to our friends and families."

"I hired GPS Pools to remodel my pool, add a pool heater and provide the monthly maintenance. Now that I have experienced all of their services, here is my honest opinion. The Remodel - The pebble tech looks amazing! It sparkles and really looks fantastic. The placement of the mosaics isn't the greatest. Unfortunately they were moved from where I originally wanted and it could have been done better. The Tile work - Absolutely horrific job. The grout was poorly placed, left on the tile. From a far, you don't notice it, but up close, it's terrible. The tile itself isn't level. There is literally waves in the tile. Again, if you're looking at the pool from a far, you can't see it. But if it's your pool and you paid over $20,000, you do. The Heater - This thing rocks! Fantastic product The Maintenance - This was terrible right out the gate. After having the pool remodeled a large calcium build up was extremely visible. If your job is to clean the pool, you should have to be told to treat it. The cleaning, in general was half a%4. The last maintenance they provided, the cleaner actually left the break open and the pump off, so the pool didn't run for 2 days. Had I not walked outside, I wouldn't have noticed until the weekend. He even installed the cover of the filter backwards. I called the office to get this fixed and was told after a week that the cleaner wasn't told to fix the filter because "they didn't feel it was a big deal" For me, my 1 and 3 year old swim in this pool. If you can't get the basics right, I can't put my trust in you to do the rest. In closing, I chose GPS because they did the work and maintained the pool, so I thought. But the truth is they hire contractors and are at the mercy of their skill set. I actually paid them more than the majority of the bids I received, to have one company do everything. My thought process was, if there was issues, I only had one company to deal with. If I had it to do all over again, I would have chosen an actual company that does their own remodeling, hired a professional cleaning service and used GPS for the occasional chemical needs when they arise."

"Let me just say Larson's pool exceeded our expectations. The first person I spoke to while seeking quotes was the owner, Eric. I knew from that first conversation that Larson's would be a contender. Dan from sales was awesome! The quote came on a one-sided page with no small print. He really took the time to really understand what we were looking for. I text/called him throughout the project and he quickly would give feedback or answer questions. He stood by me throughout the entire project. Eric and Dave was always on top of every aspect of the project which was reassuring. The quality of the work was amazing. We were completely blown away by the skill and workmanship of the travertine coping by Washington. Washington also installed the glass tile which I was worried about but turned out beautiful and installed perfectly. Orlando and his team that installed the travertine deck did a wonderful job as well and we are thrilled with the finished look. These men were professional and a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough about Justin with his help on pool maintenance. I really appreciated all his patience with my calls/text. Justin gave me pool pump 101 with hands on instructions and stated to call/text even after the final payment is made if I had additional questions or concerns. This is a Top notch family run business and it was refreshing to feel like a valued customer throughout the entire project. In terms of cost, delivery, quality and service, you can't get better than this guys. Thanks again for our beautiful pool."

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.
