We met with over 10 different vendors and he was the only one who pointed out things that we needed to investigate before we decided to proceed. We have a septic system and he recommended that we trace the drain lines so we could see what we needed to do. The lines were exactly in the area we wanted the pool. We would not have thought about that unless he had mentioned it. The other contractors who bid on it didn't even suggest that we look into it. > > He designed our pool, hot tub, and fire pit, new landscaping, and an area for our future outdoor kitchen area. > > Not only did he build everything on budget, but exceeded our expectations! The quality of their workmanship is top notch. Everyone was so dependable and knowledgeable. He was very hands on during the project from beginning to end and answered all of our million questions. :) > We couldn't be happier and we are already enjoying the fire pit and hot tub. We are looking forward to spring so we can jump in the pool! > > We are so happy that we hired Rob and will be thankful for many years ahead! **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > A pleasure to work with you Madeline and Mark! I love the process of building dreams! Thank you both! ### All 54 reviews **★★★★★ — thevonhigginsfamily, May 2026** > The Long Cane Group designed and built our backyard pool, spa, fire pit, paver patio and landscaping over 10 years ago. Just recently we contacted them again for some minor maintenance and it was handled swiftly and professionally. Can’t say enough good things about the quality of the work or the integrity of the owner and his team. **★★★★★ — Lynn Henkel, April 2026** > The Long Cane Group (LCG) team is professional, courteous and knowledgeable ... importantly, they are very clear in communicating when they are going to do something and what they are going to install. If you have any questions or issues. they are just a call or text away ... and they respond quickly. > > Several years ago, the LCG updated my pool, decks and yard ... it is beautiful ... family and friends have enjoyed this calm, happy environment (quiet except when the grandchildren come). Recently, the LCG installed a five feet deep hot tup ... it looks like it was always there. (I love it) > > If you are interested in installing a pool or hot tub or both ... I highly recommend the Long Cane Group.. You will not be disappointed, **★★★★★ — John McDevitt, March 2026** > Having built 7 inground pools across several different states as we prepared for our final pool on our land we had some very unique ideas and wanted an experienced and high quality pool designer as well as builder. > That is exactly what we got with Rob and Long Cane Group. > Rob's attention to detail and hands on involvement from start to finish has been unmatched and extremely appreciated. > The final product will no doubt provide our family with exactly what we envisioned and very glad we made the decision to use Rob and his team! **★★★★★ — B S, Oct. 2025** > Rob and his guys did an amazing job from start to finish. His crew has been with him for a long time and it shows. Every sub on site was excellent and extremely skilled but Rob also stays involved daily. The process was efficient and smooth. We LOVE the finished product. My husband and I are both super busy with work and have two dogs so we were concerned about all the work at the house but Rob and his crew made it easy. Highly recommend and already have been recommending to friends and clients. **★★★★★ — amtarheels, Sept. 2025** > We love our pool and love Rob. We met with several vendors and ultimately decided to go with Rob. He was great to work with. Anytime we had questions he answered them in a timely manner. Our pool is amazing! Great experience!! **★★★★★ — Rick C, Oct. 2024** > Rob and his team are wonderful! For years we contemplated on whether to build a pool in a backyard that was challenging. Our backyard outdoor space was hilly, not particularly useful, and the one part of our home that left us wanting. Many builders "ghosted" us in favor of easy jobs, while others provided cookie cutter designs. Rob came with a fresh perspective and a clear willingness to work with us to design and create a backyard oasis. His vision of what our backyard could be and how to allocate our budget was different from all the others. > > Rob told us at contract signing that we'd be swimming the last week of April, and he delivered. His team was at our home every day from ground break to completion. They were kind, diligent, and craftsman that treated our project and property with respect throughout the process. During the build Rob was always available and open to modifying the design as we saw it all coming together. His willingness to share with me the "why and how" behind various design and construction elements was also something I greatly appreciated. > > The quality of work Long Cane provides is top notch and we feel very confident that we have a rock solid pool, deck, and cabana that we will enjoy for years to come. I recommend Long Cane Group and Rob without hesitation. They are great builders and good people. If I ever find myself building a pool again in the future - they will be my one and only call. **★★★★★ — Howland Homes, Oct. 2024** > Rob is an expert with pools, and has been great to work with from start to finish! We would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking to do a pool. **★★★★★ — Christi Melrose, Oct. 2024** > Rob with Long Cane Group was phenomenal from start to finish. Our pool build process was seamless and turned out beautifully. His team worked in a professional and timely manor to deliver a fabulous pool that we know we are going to enjoy! **★★★★★ — HU-277482501, Aug. 2024** > Rob and his team did a very good job with our pool design and installation. The final product is beautiful. We would definitely use Long Cane Group again. **★★★★★ — William L. Mallery, April 2024** > ABSOLUTE PARADISE! Rob is a master pool designer and builder who understood our vision from the very first meeting to completion. After interviewing a few pool contractors, my wife and I chose Long Cane Group to design, permit, and build our dream pool for our forever home. Rob was an easy choice because of his extensive knowledge, general affability, relaxed approach, and overall pleasant deportment. He sports a cadre of sub-contractors that are second to none as well. Being in the development business, I understand and appreciate a solid, professional group of subs that perform their individual professional tasks at the highest level. Rob has developed these relationships in his long, illustrious career in this business and it doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. > > From initial mobilization to finishing touches, Rob spent countless hours walking us through the selection process, tweaking details in the field, and interacting with his subs to make sure he was capturing our vision. An important, but many times, unappreciated aspect of construction is having good relationships with the local municipalities and their inspectors. Rob has these relationships in spades and leverages his excellent reputation, communication skills, trustworthiness, and unparalleled knowledge in securing quick "one-time" inspections that help facilitate the process. Our pool took only four months from start to finish in the Fall and Winter months and the finished product is STUNNING. > > In closing, I would, without caveat or reservation, highly recommend Rob to design and build your dream pool that will certainly bring you and your family/friends many, many years of pleasure. **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2023** > We can’t say enough amazing things about Rob and the Long Cane Group team. Truly they’re one of a kind in the pool building and design industry. From start to finish Rob did a great job walking us through the process, listening, and providing amazing recommendations. He took our vision and made it a reality. We heard so many horror stories of pool builders taking advantage of their customers. That’s not the case here! We called a handful of Rob’s prior clients and they had nothing but amazing things to say. We experienced the same thing during our build. No matter what the message was, Rob and his team were honest with us. The quality of his product is unmatched. To the point where even the inspectors commented on the fact that each detail of what he picked out was top quality. We can’t wait to enjoy our gorgeous pool for years to come! **★★★★★ — HU-509505458, Dec. 2023** > Rob does a fantastic job of helping to get the most out of your backyard/pool. Whenever you have a question or concern he always jumps on it. **★★★★★ — mbpavcik, Oct. 2023** > Rob is an excellent pool contractor. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He addressed all of our questions and provided solutions throughout the entire process. We had a great experience and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in installing a pool. **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Aug. 2023** > Our family worked with Rob to build our dream pool this year and the outcome was absolutely phenomenal. We evaluated multiple companies that build pools in Milton and decided to move forward with Long Cane Group for many reasons including multiple positive references from our neighbors and the honest and collaborative approach taken during the process. > > I highly recommend Long Cane Group if you are looking for a quality pool with a great customer experience. **★★★★★ — Chuck Laetsch, July 2023** > We interviewed three reputable firms and fortunately ended up going with Rob Harrison and Long Cane Group. Great ideas, easy to talk to, very price competitive. Rob stayed in close touch during the entire construction process, and was very responsive to our questions and suggestions for possible changes to the overall design. Most importantly, the pool has worked EXACTLY as advertised - no leaks, stains, loose mortar or any other issue. Critically, during the hard freeze of December 2022, all the pool plumbing fail-safe equipment worked as designed and our pool had zero freezing issues. We are delighted with the overall quality of the pool and enjoy using and looking at it daily. **★★★★★ — William Martina, May 2023** > Rob Harrison built our pool 15 years ago with an amazing 12 ft high vanishing edge and a beautiful cascading flow thru the deck along with a wonderful fire pit. Soar heat, features the you wouldn’t expect on a 15 year old pool…still works perfectly and has provided our family with YEARS of memories! Sean Cain maintains it and he is the best as well…we are blessed to have chosen these two for our project! Bill and Deborah Martina **★★★★★ — dws300, May 2023** > Rob really delivered and brought our dream to life. Rob’s ability to take our ideas and design our backyard, pool and cabana exceeded out expectations. Rob attention to detail and focus on exceeding our expectations was evident throughout the project. > > Rob’s used top quality products and materials to build and design our pool. Our new pool will help create great life memories for our family. I consider Rob as a friend gained through this project and would not hesitate to recommend him for your project. **★★★★★ — Cathy Kramer, Dec. 2022** > Rob and his crew are the most professional group I have been fortunate enough to work with in a very long time. Rob helped us work within our budget and create our "dream come true". He is so honest and never promises something he can't deliver. We interviewed probably 10 different pool companies and we made the BEST decision going with Long Can Group. Some of my other friends who are building pools have had such issues with the bigger name pool companies. It's so refreshing to be able to work with people you can trust and who have true integrity. Rob has great pride in his workmanship and thus doesn't cut corners. I can honestly say that Rob has become someone I would call a friend! > > Thank you Long Can Group and thank you Rob for helping us create such a great space for our family to enjoy for many years to come. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > thanks Cathy, I feel the same way, I enjoy people, that's why I stay at it! Merry Christmas! **★ — Ashley Hooks, July 2022** > Horrible experience. Go with another pool builder and save yourself a lot of headaches. There were a lot of issues and in the end, we paid Rob in full but he never came back and finished the pool. We got our own CO. **★★★★★ — swicicki, May 2022** > My husband and I hired Long Cane Group after seeing the wonderful work he did on a neighbor's pool and deck project. They had just completed their build and we were just coming off a bad experience with a local pool company who had promised installation on a certain date and were well past that with no end in site. After canceling that contract, we were worried about hiring someone reliable and trustworthy. Boy were we glad we followed their recommendation to meet with Rob and discuss our project! > > We met with Rob and outlined our design ideas, he was awesome to work with and made recommendations that we ended up loving which enhanced what we already had in mind. His team is phenomenal-everyone on his team was amazing. Anyone who came to our house as a part of the build was professional, respectful of our property and showed up on time as expected. In this day and age that is nothing short of miraculous!! > > In addition, we have 4 crazy dogs and we were worried about how we were going to manage them throughout the construction period (all we imagined were the 4 of them jumping in the giant hole in our backyard and mud EVERYWHERE). Rob was happy to help manage that and his team constructed a barrier around the pool construction area to accommodate a dog run which kept our dogs out of the giant excavated hole and us sane! The other pool company basically told us too bad, your dogs are your problem, but not Rob! He worked with us throughout the whole project even as we made design and other changes. He truly has the patience of a saint:). > > Our deck and pool area is now a beautiful addition to our backyard (along with the privacy landscaping that his team designed and installed). We are thrilled with the communication, professionalism, responsiveness and overall excellence that Rob and his whole team provided throughout the whole project and would recommend Long Cane Group without hesitation to anyone! We love our new pool and will be enjoying it with our family and grandchildren for a long time to come. **★★★★★ — John Coombs, April 2022** > Rob Harrison and his Long Cane Group provided a “one-stop-shop” for building and integrating a backyard pool that flows directly off our porch. The work included building the pool, installing unique water/fire features, adding gas lanterns, grading and sodding the backyard, building a “pool barn” for pool supplies and lawn equipment, replanting ornamental trees, and installing landscape lighting. The final result is a beautiful backyard destination that’s the envy of our neighbors. > > Thanks Rob & Long Cane Group! **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > We always enjoy the creative process to develop a truly unique design result that please our clients & you all / the Coombs Family, was a pleasure to work with and we greatly appreciate your kind review John. Thank you ~ Rob Harrison **★★★★★ — Tom McConahay, March 2022** > Let me start by saying this review is long past due: > Last year my wife and I had a home built in Canton, GA. Prior to our home being finished, I started researching, reading reviews, and interviewing local pool companies to help design and build our pool once we closed. Though I "love" the water and everything about it, outside of swimming, enjoying, and entertaining, I don't know much about pools. From the moment I spoke with Rob Harrison, I knew there was something different about Rob and his company. > > Rob met with me, asked questions such as "what's important to us", "what are your must haves", "what's on your wish list" etc. Rob listened to my crazy ideas, looked at pictures that I'd pulled off the internet, and reviewed drawings that I had sketched. Looking back I'm sure I was "one of those guys". Rob came back to me a couple of days later with a drawing and quote. I couldn't believe how tuned-in Rob was to what I was looking for. He was able to put on paper, what I had difficulty explaining. Even though we didn't discuss a budget, Rob came in at where my wife and I was hoping to be. > > We closed on our home and within a couple of weeks Rob and his team got to work. Rob communicated with me regularly of what was currently going on, and what was coming up next. It's important that everyone acknowledges that this build took place in the middle of a pandemic with severe supply issues. Everything was on back order, and there were allocations on materials. Rob kept me informed which, is really important to me. > > We also had an outdoor grill area built. Unfortunately we had an issue with our grill. Rob worked every avenue possible but was unable to get the grill manufacturer to replace/resolve the issue with the grill. Rob ended up replacing my grill with a larger, more expensive grill than what he had spec'd and in my quote. This involved having his masonry crew cut and rework some of the stone. Rob was apologetic and did this at his expense.....class act. > > I realize my review is starting to run long, so I will finish with this: Rob couldn't have done it without his professional contractors. They were truly champions of their trade and many, if not all have been working with, and for Rob for a very long time. Coming from the trades myself (plumber), I paid close attention to how Rob spoke to his employees and subcontractors. He spoke to and treated them with respect and appreciation for what they did. > > To wrap this up: Rob and the Long Cane Group made my wife and I's dream a reality. I have and will continue to recommend them. > > Thank you Mr. Rob Harrison, The Long Cane Group, and team. > Tom and Wendy McConahay > > P.S. - as pretty as the pictures are, they don't do it justice. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Tom - I enjoyed working with you all as much as you did me. Thanks again & wish you all an excellent Summer season, Rob Harrison & LCG team **★★★★★ — capcol, Nov. 2021** > Rob Harrison built a pool for us, and it exceeded all expectations. He is a talented pool designer and helped us with every aspect of the project. He has excellent contractors that work for and with him. He’s honest. He’s ethical. He’s a very hands-on owner and hard worker. Our pool is gorgeous! **★★★★★ — e es, Sept. 2021** > Rob helped us transform an unusable back yard into a backyard oasis. Our back yard had a large hill covered in Junipers with significant drainage issues. Rob was able to imagine a terraced design that maximized our pool deck and usable grassy area while also addressing the drainage. Rob also focused on blending the pool into the design of our 15 year old house so that it looks like it was built together. > > We feel like we are in a resort when we spend time at the pool and our neighbors can’t believe the differences. Rob’s specialty in landscape design also resulted in a beautiful landscape surrounding the pool. > > We consistently heard throughout the process from contractors and inspectors that Long Cane was the most reputable pool builder in Milton. The introduction to the pool was very smooth with Rob’s team providing the necessary instruction on how to properly maintain the pool. > > Building a pool during Covid presented challenges with delays of supplies and workers. Rob kept up good communication with us when we had concerns about the timeline. Every major project has challenges, we worked through these challenges together and were able to come to a fair outcome. We appreciated Rob’s focus on building a quality product and maintaining a good relationship. > > Creating a pool in a challenging yard during a pandemic was a long process, but it was worth the wait and if we were to do it again, we would choose Long Cane. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Ellen and Bryan for this wonderful review, and for all of your patience and help, it was a great pleasure to work with you both and I agree, together we were able to turn an unusable back yard into a beautiful living space! **★★★★★ — Cathy Thomas, July 2021** > Our dream of having our own swimming pool came true with the expertise and great care Rob and his team provided. From start to finish, Rob was always available to answer any questions or concerns. He goes the extra mile and is very generous to his customers. All of his crew were very professional and a pleasure to have at our home. Rob helped us to pick the perfect accents and gave us great suggestions when we were undecided or hesitant. The pool and the surrounding area has provided an entire other living area for our family to enjoy. If you are thinking of installing a swimming pool, Rob is your man!!! **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Cathy and Mike for this kind review, we had a great time working together with you both! Keep in Touch! **★★★★★ — topherkeith, Dec. 2020** > If you’re not working with Rob and the team at Long Cane on your pool you’re doing it wrong. I could leave it there but kidding aside these guys are pros in every sense of the word. Our backyard build is by far the largest project we’ve done in the 13 years we’ve been in our house and somehow it was the best experience of all the work we’ve done. From the minute we chose Long Cane out of the contractors we reviewed Rob was right there with me every step of the way. Our project was a true partnership at every phase. From keeping me from spending money I didn’t need to spend, working with me on the perfect design and explaining everything that was happening in great detail Rob and his team exceeded my expectations. Our backyard is more than we could have hoped for and I could not more highly recommend the team at Long Cane if you are looking to install a first class, high functioning and gorgeous pool. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Chris and Katherine, for all of your help and patience, Our Cabana, pool and grill made your back yard to go to hangout! It was our pleasure all the way! **★★★★★ — bridge259, Nov. 2020** > Strongly recommend Rob and Long Cane Group. He had a tremendous vision to work with our natural terrain, and was able to design, coordinate and oversee all aspects of the project from beginning to end. This included the pool design, hardscape and landscape, as well as the cabana and fire pit areas. > > Thank you Rob and Long Cane Group for building such an amazing pool and space for our family and friends! > > Bridgette and Shane **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank You Bridgette and Shane, Your property had great raw potential and you two were amazing to work with! **★★★★★ — vince1033, Sept. 2020** > First of all, despite 2020, Rob Harrison designed and put in the most incredible pool and oasis for our family. We couldn’t believe it was even a possibility, with the awful easement and slope to our yard. We had an annoying delay from our HOA, then several delays from the city of Roswell. After that we had one of the rainiest springs that led us straight into a world pandemic. Through it all, Rob handled every situation and little detail. His vision saved us tens of thousands of dollars and thru every change from the boulder wall, to the sunken level, the landscaping, and the huge hot tub, Rob listened to us and made changes to improve our plan in so many ways. He only uses the best artisans and professionals and insists on the best equipment. Each step of the way was impressive and everyone who works for him says his vision, work ethic, and craftsmanship is why they wouldn’t work for anyone else. We love our pool and plan to enjoy it for many years to come. Rob is probably the busiest in the business but if you are lucky enough to get to hire him you will not be disappointed. Instead you will find he exceeds your expectations. I hope he can help you build your own backyard oasis too!! **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Jenn and Vince! we overcame a lot of hurtles together, Thanks for your patience and believing in our ideas! **★★★★★ — Kristin A, March 2019** > Rob Harrison is a landscape and pool design artist. He and his team transformed an unusable, sloping portion of our yard into a family entertainment oasis that we will be able to enjoy for many years. The design of the pool and firepit are one of a kind. The landscape installation looks natural and beautiful. Rob had a vision for our yard that we could have never seen on our own. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Kristin, you were a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — HU-31099025, Jan. 2019** > Rob and his entire team did an outstanding job on our pool/deck project!! Rob is always available to answer any and all questions, but most importantly, he has a vision for the entire project. He thinks of everything, including many things we did not even consider. His team was very professional and he had a range of top-notch professionals for each step, groundbreaking, landscape, coping, pebbletec installation, fencing, pool equipment, etc... Our pool and new screened in deck are absolutely amazing and we will enjoy it for many, many years!!! **★★★★★ — R Pannone, Jan. 2019** > Long Cane Group was a pleasure to work with. Rob (the owner) was very hands on throughout the design and construction phases of our pool, spa, patio, landscaping and fire pit. It was great to find one person who would do it all. > > Rob's customer service is first rate and he has always taken our calls or gotten back with us promptly. > > We are very happy with our pool and our decision to use Long Cane Group. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Long Cane. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thanks Bruce, we have become good friends building your beautiful project, Thanks for believing in our vision for your Swimming pool Miracle ! **★★★★★ — Bob Sullivan, Jan. 2019** > Rob and The Long Cane team did an outstanding job creating a pool and outdoor living space that our family will enjoy for many years to come. Rob is knowledgeable and the level of detail and quality is abundant in the materials used to the final outcome. We highly recommend Long Cane. **★★★★★ — J Squires, Nov. 2018** > Rob Harrison did an excellent job creating a backyard oasis for us and enhancing the value of our home. He built a beautiful pool and outdoor living area that we can enjoy year round. Rob is honest, creative, and professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. You tell him your vision and he comes up with ideas you couldn’t think of yourself. Rob has a great attention to detail and follows up after the project is complete. We cannot say enough good things about the entire process, from design, to quote, to construction, to completion. **★★★★★ — Lindsey Wilson, Oct. 2018** > Rob and his team at Long Cane Group did a fantastic job with our new pool with swim up bar, cabana, and fire pit! We love the way it and all of the surrounding landscaping looks. He came up with a fabulous design and executed it perfectly. We love spending time in our new back yard oasis! **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Bryan and Lindsey, our clients are the reason I still love this business after 40 years! Many Thanks! **★★★★★ — Dennis French, May 2018** > Rob Harrison and the Long Cane Group did a great job on our pool and landscaping. The pool has been in for a year, and we just had them come out and add more landscaping in the yard. > They do a great job, love the pool and love the way our yard looks! **★★★★★ — Martha Hunter, June 2017** > Rob Harrison and his Long Cane crew are the best. Friendly, professional, honest and caring. They stand behind their product. They just finished refreshing and resealing the patio area of the pool they built for us a few years ago. We love it as much today as the day they finished it. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Thank you Marti, we continue to enjoy working with you and your husband, Call on us anytime! **★★★★★ — Ian M.

The pool fits really well in our backyard and our family has enjoyed it tremendously! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Cocchiara, Oct. 2016** > We actually didn't do much looking around before going with Rob Harrison of Long Cane Group. Rob and his company came highly recommended. We wanted a pool, patio, outdoor kitchen and backyard landscaping done while our new home was being built. Rob had worked with our home builder before so we thought this would be a good fit. It ended up being more than a good fit. > Ours was a very big project and Rob was creative in his design, helpful, communicative and receptive to our ideas and questions...every step of the way. We ended up with EVERYTHING we wanted. Our backyard is truly an extension of Our indoor living space and it is beautiful and functional. We've only been in the house a couple months but there hasn't been a day yet that we haven't used our backyard. As I said, it is everything we wanted and more because of Rob and Long Cane Group. **★★★★★ — clairebears, Oct. 2016** > 13 Reviews for Long Cane Group, Inc. > > Claire Broadwater and Bill Schneider > Client: > > Rob Harrison and the Long Cane Group were a delight to work with on our pool project! Rob is truly an artist! He transformed our backyard into an outdoor paradise! It is like being on vacation every day! We had an idea what we wanted, but Rob's design exceeded our expectations! Rob's group is extremely professional and a joy to have create their magic. Gorgeous stone work, landscaping and an outdoor kitchen were included in our plan. Rob was always available day or night to answer any questions. We would hire Rob again! We LOVE our fabulous outdoor paradise! **★★★★★ — Kimberly Griffin, Feb. 2016** > Rob Harrison and the Long Cane Group were a pleasure to work with! They were extremely professional and hard working. They did a fantastic job for us! We truly have our own section of paradise right in our own backyard! Rob is an artist! We told him what we wanted, and he surpassed our own dreams! The group is very easy to work with, and Rob always made himself available to us, willing to answer any questions or discuss any and all possibilities! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and cannot rave about them enough! Great job Rob Harrison and group!! **★★★★★ — WestPort Development LLC / Atlanta Basements, April 2015** > Our company, Westport Development, hired Rob "Long Cane Group" to build a pool last year on a large home renovation project in Morningside and we are very pleased with the finished product. > Rob was responsive from the beginning to the end. He was quick to give us a quote, quick to modify it during our design phase and performed the work in a timely manor. > If your looking for an honest, quality driven pool contractor then Robs you're guy. > I will not hesitate to work with Rob and his guys in the future on the next project that needs a pool. > Thanks for a great job Rob! > Raymond **★★★★★ — mtanner448, Nov. 2014** > We have used Long Cane for several major landscaping projects over the last 20 years. The result was always better than we expected. Their design skills are stunning and their installation is first class. Most recently we used them to redesign our backyard after an expansion of our property. Before that, they redesigned both the front and backyard of the smaller property, installing both hardscapes including a beautiful pergola and patio, and a grass-crete driveway. Years ago, they corrected a drainage problem at a previous house, designed a marvelous backyard, and installed a small pond. **★★★★★ — Britt Traugott, Sept. 2014** > Rob is professional, honest, detailed, creative, and onsite every day throughout the process! His contractors showed up as expected, worked tirelessly from 7:30-6:30 every day, and were true craftsmen with amazing attention to detail. Each custom request was handled promptly and to our satisfaction! He went above and beyond to be sure our project would blend into and enhance the landscape of our yard. We specifically chose Long Cane because of Rob's extensive knowledge of landscape/drainage planning (in addition to his creative design skills). With a history of drainage issues in our backyard we wanted our project to have a beautiful and functional end result with the flow of surrounding water through the yard to being a priority from day 1. We did not want drainage to be an after thought through a separate contractor at the end of the project. Rob not only met our expectations, but he exceeded them. We feel like we are at a vacation resort every time we step outside. Our yard and pool turned out more beautiful than we had hoped. We highly recommend Long Cane Group for all your landscape and pool design/construction needs. **★★★★★ — dolordecabeza, Sept. 2014** > We have been extremely pleased by the work done by Rob and the Long Cane Group. They built a magnificent gunite pool in our backyard together with a functional grilling area, a spacious paver deck, and a gorgeous fireplace. The quality of work was exceptional, from the design of the entire pool area, to the unbelievable hand-made stone work, to the very fine landscaping. Our backyard was truly transformed into our private club which continues to amaze visitors to our home. Moreover, the responsiveness to address any post-completion question or to educate us on how to properly maintain our pool has been excellence. We fully recommend Rob and his team to anyone interested in building a new pool. **★★★★★ — melaniedavis12, Sept. 2014** > Rob and Long Cane group are outstanding. Rob is super creative and stands behind everything he does. His design for our pool and landscaping were perfect for our yard. We were always happy to show others. **★★★★★ — blaserk, Sept. 2014** > Rob and team did a great job on our backyard and pool. The pool has a unique look and the landscaping turned out terrific. We have received many favorable comments on the overall setting. I highly recommend Long Cane Group. **Comment from Long Cane Group, Inc.:** > Sounds great, get it up on the site ASAP thanks, **★★★★★ — amdataol, Sept. 2014** > We are in the real-estate business and purchased a property that needed a complete landscape remodel. The topography of the property was difficult and was beyond the scope of our typical landscape renovation. We therefore contacted Rob Harrison at the Long Cane Group for help. Rob met us at the property, we talked about the challenges of the project, what we wanted to try to accomplish with the remodel and our budget. As we all talked and walked Rob made notes and sketches. At the end of the meeting Rob told us that he would formalize the sketches and get back to us with a plan. The formalized plans blew us away since they captured everything that we wanted and would transform a basically useless rear yard into an outdoor living space and a wasteland of a front yard into something that would give the property 'street appeal'. Needless to say we hired Rob to do the job. > > Over the next 6 months Rob transformed the formalized plans into a masterpiece that exceeded all of our expectations. We had an inground spa, a stream with a waterfall into the spa, retaining walls, unbelievable stonework, patios, limestone steps, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen and fire pit. Our originally useless rear yard, once transformed, was used for a 120 guest wedding shower for our daughter.!! As far as the front yard is concerned, the neighbors are still talking about it 2 years later.!! > > Rob was an absolute pleasure to work with and always stayed calm even under pressure. As with any remodel or renovation project (and this was a BIG one) there are always unexpected hickups and / or problems. Rob took them in his stride and handled them like a true professional. I would highly recommend the Long Cane Group to handle any landscaping project, either large and small. **★★★★★ — Nancy Edens, Sept. 2014** > Rob was very creative with my postage stamp backyard! He designed a very unique table that seats 10 to 12 people for outdoor dinner parties. Everyone that sees it wants to take a picture! I love my little backyard paradise! **★★★★★ — blaskovic, Sept. 2014** > In January 2012, we contracted with Rob Harrison of Long Cane Group to install an in-ground gunite pool for our home in East Cobb. Rob came out to discuss what we had in mind and offered a number of suggestions that we hadn't considered. We decided to go with many of his ideas including minimizing dirt removal and use the natural topography of our backyard that resulted in a raised beam back wall for the pool and a multi-tier entertainment layout. We are very pleased with the final result and now entertain often with constant compliments from our guests. Most comments resemble that they cannot believe this is in your backyard and not at a resort. I would highly recommend Long Cane Group to anyone looking to install a pool and / or outdoor entertainment environment. Bob & Jenna Blaskovic **★★★★★ — eborkovich, Aug. 2014** > We hired the Long Cane Group to install our pool. From planning to implemantion we were exceptionally pleased with the quality and character of all who were involved. Rob transformed our back-yard into a beautiful out door living space. It has enhanced our house and our lives thereby creating on our own little sanctuary and respite from our busy lives. **★★★★★ — tomasjchao, Aug. 2014** > Rob and Long Cane Group have worked with us over the last couple of years on numerous projects in our back and front yard. They completely revamped our backyard. They installed a beautiful pool, pool decking, treehouse, slides, retaining walls, pathways, lighting, covered upper and lower decks and landscaping. When he installed our pool, Rob walked us through the care and maintanence. He has made himself available to answer questions and help us with any problems that arose. He has exceeded expectations in regards to helping us AFTER all the work was completed. He is very busy and still finds a way to make time to help us when we need him. I am not sure most installers would be as accommodating. My wife and I will continue to add projects and work with Rob as his work is fantastic. We highly recommend his services. **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Aug. 2014** > Our pool, built by the Long Cane Group, exceeded our expectations in every way! Rob is a Landscape Designer and, unlike the other pool companies we interviewed, he had an amazing vision and was able to produce exactly the beautiful oasis of a backyard pool that he promised. Rob was always available and communicative, responsive and respectful of our time and finances.
