**★★★★★ — Deanna Subler, Dec. 2017**

> Brian, Kim and crew were amazing, they did a beautiful job on not only the pool, but the stamped concrete patio as well. They tied into my existing pergola flawlessly and were quick and efficient. I'd highly recommend Backyard Pools to anyone looking for an in ground pool.  I wish I had better pictures, but they all have people in them, so here's what I can show for now.

**Comment from DesRochers Backyard Pools, Inc.:**

> Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad you love your pool and the pictures look great!

**★★★★★ — jones2129, July 2016**

> They installed our pool in November, 2014.  They did an excellent job and we have thoroughly enjoyed the pool the past two summers.  Inspite of completing the installation in November, they came back in the Spring to open the pool and educate us, hand-on.  They have been very responsive when called and their services have been top notch,  We are very pleased.

**Comment from DesRochers Backyard Pools, Inc.:**

> We really appreciate you taking the time to review us! We are glad you have been enjoying your pool!

**★★★★★ — gduckman1, July 2016**

> DesRochers Backyard Pools put in our inground pool.  My wife and I decided to move out to the "country" and purchased 20 acres of land.  The land is made up mostly of sand and not regular dirt so naturally I was very concerned about putting a pool in.  Backyard Pools was very patient and answered all of my questions.  This isn't my first inground pool and I am very familiar with what it takes to put one in.  We decided to go with a paver brick patio around the pool but first a retaining wall needed to be built. Backyard Pools graciously left their "old" bobcat for us to use while building this wall.  This took 2-3 months.  They didn't charge us for use of the bobcat.  Whenever we call with a question, Backyard Pools will either the question immediately or follow up with a phone call to answer our questions.  The owners and the staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and overall a pleasure to work with.  I highly recommend DesRochers Backyard Pools!!
