The Pool Fill In People

Allan and his crew, Robert, Brett and Ken worked very hard in completing the task of filling in our old pool. The guys were great with our two grandkids watching from the window. They still talk about that little digger(machine) and the feats it did while the work progressed.
The crew were very good at explaining what they were doing and why they were doing it. This kind of information made us feel more comfortable with our decision to fill in our pool after so many years.
The lifetime warranty that is also transferable if we sell the house certainly gives us some peace of mind.
Looks great now and all we have to do is get used to cutting the grass !
Thanks

Initially I was very pleased with my pool fill in (Oct. 2015). All the workers were very extremely nice, efficient and the first part of the job was done well.
But the job was finished in a hurry to beat predicted heavy rain and the final loads of soil and sod were laid in darkness. Far too much fill was brought in and some of this dumped in another part of the yard. The rest was put on the previous pool surrounds making it far too high. Some sod was laid over existing flower beds.
Subsidence was evident after the rain and was noticed by Al when he returned to pick up his machinery. He promised to come back first thing in the spring to remove sod, even out the ground and replace the sod. The "warranty" also promises this.
By spring the whole backyard was a disaster. More subsidence, deep wide cracks and a huge variation in levels.
Every time I contacted Al I got excuses. Finally, faced with the loss of my backyard for the whole of the growing season and summer, I was forced to get alternative help.
Also, something is very wrong with the final topsoil. Nothing will thrive in it - plants are stunted and yellowed. I suspect it is non-composted manure which would also explain the explosion of large barnyard type flies that occurred during the first hot weather.
My advice to anyone using TPFIP. Hold back enough of the final payment to cover final landscaping costs.

Alan and his guys were awesome! Luckily they were available two days after we met and they got the job done in a day. I felt Alan runs a very professional operation and would recommend him to whomever needs their pool filled in.

I have to say that we were extremely impressed with Allan and his guys! They were affordable, very reliable and did an excellent job! It all started by them showing up on time with fabulous attitudes. They were courteous and very good at explaining what they were doing and finished the job on time and cleaned up after they were done. If you need your pool filled in I would recommend this company with NO hesitation.

Great company. I would highly recommend The Pool Fill in People.
Many thanks to Allan, the owner of The company, he was very patient and answered all my questions, made sure we are on the same page; his great team Brett, Will, Jesse and Darrel, especially Brett and Will, they are experienced, they worked very hard and professional.
Since our backyard entrance is narrow and they did partially work by hands, I really appreciate their work. After pool fill in, they clearing away the mess, repairing the access area, and even replaced partly grass on the way to the entrance.
Thank you Allan and team!

We had to close our family pool after 41 great years. It was a relief to find a company like The Pool Fill-In People. The lifetime warranty that is also transferable if we sell our house provided extra peace of mind. Al and his crew are very professional, hard working and friendly. They managed to stay on schedule in spite of the brutal heat the entire week they were working. This is a great company to work with and I would definitely recommend The Pool Fill-In People to anyone who needs the job done right, on schedule and within the established budget.

I give this company an A++. What a fantastic group of people lead by a hard working man, Allan!

This company really stands by their work, so much so that they provide a lifetime warranty that is also transferable to the next buyer of the house.

This was a big project but dealing with Allan put me at ease with his many years of experience/knowledge/advice.
Make sure you don't fall for counterfeits when it comes to pool demolition. One of the companies that provided me with a quote, required a deposit at signing of contract, way before I even I knew when the project would be scheduled to start. Allan, did not expect to receive a deposit until the day they started work and final payment when the work was completed.

Word of advice to all those looking to fill in their pool: When you're getting multiple quotes, make sure The Pool Fill-In People company is on that list…You won't be disappointed. Also, be sure you check all companies against the Better Business Bureau web site, as one company in particular has several complaints logged against it.

P.S. Al, I'll be calling you guys for any other landscaping needs!!!

I have had nothing but trouble with this company from day one. The job took twice as long to complete then promised because they took on other jobs at the same time. Workers sat around doing NOTHING for 5 of the 8 hours they were here one day. They damaged my retaining walls, gouged my beautiful birch tree in my front yard, left garbage at the side of my house, and REFUSE to come and clean it up, and destroyed my grass. All you get is excuses. I would not recommend this company to anyone! The job was started on Sept. 16th, finished, Oct. 3! Outrageous! ( no rain days) I took all of these problems up with Allan and he takes responsibilty for nothing. He does the bare minimum. (maybe not even that. ) When they left debris behind and refused to come back and get it, that was the last straw! At first I was happy that it was over with, but, Allan's unprofessional conduct has gone too far. I also want people to know that I recieved a phone message from ALLAN FRIDAY EVENING, THREATENING ME THAT IF I DO NOT REMOVE MY REVIEW HE WOULD RESPOND TO IT WITH WHATEVER HE HAD TO TO DISCREDIT ME! This from a company that left an empty concrete pool with not ONE SAFETY MEASURE TAKEN TO PROTECT MAN, WOMAN, CHILD OR ANIMAL FROM FALLING IN THE EMPTY CONCRETE HOLE FOR 5 DAYS! I SHOULD HAVE THROWN HIM OFF MY PROPERTY AND CALLED THE POLICE! How dare you! There are other issues I will not get into here, however, this job was botched from start to finish! He should not be allowed to operate a company in this unprofessional manner! I guess he thought I was a stupid, clueless woman! Think again, Allan!

I would highly recommend The Pool Fill in People. Al and his team did a terrific job demolishing our 40 x 20 ft monster of a swimming pool, clearing away the mess, repairing the access area, and doing some basic landscaping as requested -- all on time and on budget! 100% satisfied. Thank you, Al. Elizabeth I.

The original job was done great! However the wait time for additional fill in after it has settled not so good.
I know it's a busy job however past job's should be priority and customer should not have to keep contacting to have the fill in done.
