“He has transformed our backyard into a stunning retreat, a true homeowner’s paradise.”

“From the first day, Robert kept us fully informed—emailing and calling daily to update us on progress and schedule. He was on-site every day, checking in with contractors and making sure the work met his high standards.
Every crew was professional, punctual, and skilled. The entire custom pool build process was smooth and efficient. Thanks to Robert’s hands-on approach and infectious energy, our backyard now feels like a luxury resort.
We couldn’t be happier with our Charlotte pool project—and we’re confident he’ll continue supporting us well into the future.”

— Richard Chapmann, Charlotte NC
