Now it's August and they finally finished but I'm not sure about the integrity of the pool. It took them until the end of June to get started and then employees only showed up twice a week for a few hours. The work is a mess. When the concrete was finally poured to protect the pool from the dirt of the slope, the pool started moving and they had to stop the work. It took them 2 more weeks to finally come out and fix it. They didn't level the ground around the pool area like they were supposed to either. The owner came out and basically said we are done even though they didn't do the work they were supposed to do. Just FYI, the owner lives in Hungary so he has no clue what his company is even doing.

Lately, this gym has experienced a concerning increase in security incidents. On June 29, virtually…read moreevery locker in the locker room was reportedly broken into, and cash was stolen from multiple members, including me. Based on the damage I personally saw, there were wood chips and an indentation on the locker door that made it appear it may have been forced open with a crowbar or similar tool. Previous reviews have also reported vehicles being broken into in the parking lot, making the overall security situation even more alarming. What is even more frustrating is the lack of communication and accountability. The situation was handled very poorly. Emails go unanswered, and corporate has been extremely difficult to reach or get any meaningful response from. After an incident involving so many members, I expected much better communication and support instead of feeling like everyone was left to figure things out on their own. Members should be able to work out without worrying about having their cash or valuables stolen in broad daylight. This facility needs stronger security measures, better monitoring of the locker rooms and parking areas, and more visible security personnel. If security is not improved and management does not start taking these incidents seriously, I will no longer be a member. It is unacceptable to allow members to be repeatedly robbed while their concerns are ignored

Carolina Poolscapes provided me with the best value-to-cost quote, the highest-quality communication, and the friendliest customer service of any of the dozen or so pool companies I contacted in the Raleigh area. Every other company I spoke with was more interested in how much I'd be willing to pay for their services while acting like they were doing me a favor by even talking with me. If you want to be treated like a friend or family member, go with Carolina Poolscapes. Steve and Jean were the only ones who were actually invested in the outcome for myself, my wife, and our toddler. I know Yelp only goes up to five stars, but they deserve 10/10!

Note: Carolina Poolscapes issued a response to our rating…read morewhich bears little resemblance to the facts. First, we did not use Yelp to select Carolina Poolscapes. Yelp contacted us after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes contract. Carolina Poolscapes acts like they were unaware we were dissatisfied. We communicated this to one of the partners on several occasions. We have emails, text messages, photos/videos, security camera footage, and feedback from other contractors who repaired and completed the work of Carolina Poolscapes that confirms the rating we gave. The evidence shows Carolina Poolscapes did extensive damage to our lawn, landscaping, and irrigation, failed to repair them properly, left construction and personal debris strewn about (some of which they never removed), and we later discovered the pool work they did do was unsatisfactory. Our new contractor identified 4 new significant pool plaster delamination spots that Carolina Poolscapes missed, cut out cracks they failed to address, and installed 22 staples to the pool shell. Carolina Poolscapes told us no staples were necessary. We sincerely wish Carolina Poolscapes could witness the firms who repaired their work and completed the project. If they could, Carolina Poolscapes would understand the importance of showing up on time, working a full day, exercising care, doing things correctly, worksite cleanliness, having the necessary serviceable equipment and tools, positive teamwork, listening skills, and not constantly badgering the client for more money and invoicing progress payments before the work is complete. As for the bluestone work, it was done by a subcontractor and now Carolina Poolscapes wants to take credit. Finally, the contractor's partners did not get along, creating friction on the work site, and contributing to unnecessary project delays. We asked for two small changes that added 1-2 days. Weather may have delayed work by 4-5 days, but that is due to the work stretching to nearly 12 weeks (for a "4 week" project). Unlike Carolina Poolscapes, the new contractors issued warranties for their work. As for hiring one of their subcontractors, Carolina Poolscapes repeatedly failed to repair the irrigation system. We considered hiring one of their part-time subcontractors with irrigation skills to do the repair, but Carolina Poolscapes complained, ..., thereby costing the subcontractor income. Further misrepresentations by Carolina Poolscapes on this website or further interference with our contractors under false pretenses (Why did one of the partners call one of our new contractors representing himself as the contractor on our project after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes' contract?) will be viewed negatively and do nothing to change the facts on the ground.

Companies of all different sizes, and although each was independently unique, the same stipulations applied, pool /spa installs were at least 12 months out and getting someone to sit down for a consult was around a month out. It was becoming very frustrating. We stumbled across Backyard Leisure and decided to give them a try. Don't judge the company by the area in which their Raleigh office is located, these guys are legit. Aaron Garner actually sat down with us on the spot and provided us with the information we were seeking. He answered all of our questions and provided us with much needed insight to help us plan our next move. On top of all that, the anticipated install was less than 12 months out. Aaron clearly knew what he was talking about and also helped us realize the best approach to our inground spa needs. Our pool install came first, Aaron was there throughout the entire process; he was more of a partner than a salesman and still is. They have some true talent working for them and with Alberto leading the pool install, he gained my trust and confidence within an hour of him being onsite the entire. He is an expert in his field. Our spa install came in second and again Aaron was there to ensure a smooth install. The highly skilled install team handled everything, they are extremely professional! They went out of their way to assess the work already by the very subpar concrete company and rectified immediate concerns. At the end of the day, we are more than happy with the product and the entire team at Backyard Leisure. Backyard Leisure has our backs every step of the way and the true talent to get the job done right. Cheers!
