After a terrible experience with a previous contractor that stole $30,000 and ended with a breach…read moreof contract lawsuit, enter Oasis Pavers and Pools. Contacted 4 pool contractors, 3 provided estimates site unseen. Tom of Oasis P&P came on site, explained the process, whipped out an elevation tool and took 30+ elevation measurements that constructed a drainage plan of the topology. This was a critical step to identify the quantity of fill/paver base to obtain the elevation needed to meet drainage plan requirements After signing the contract to build and a visit to the home office to pick tile and surface, the build was off and running with Tom S., the project manager, overseeing every step in the process. In addition to Tom, Rob, (company founder?) joined Tom to go over drainage plan. Rob offered some amazing changes which reduced the cost by $4,200 by eliminating linear drains, replacing the water flow with ever so slight elevation change and swale to one drain that then routed to the street (a Dunedin engineering requirement)
Oasis has some mighty fine sub's what I will mention by name here:
1) Site excavation - Austin/Preston running the equipment for his father's company, 18Mar2025
2) Pool shell build - unknown name, but heck of a job
3) Shotcrete - G&P shot crete, Oscar
4) Plumber - Humberto, holy cow cannot say enough good things. The two young workers dug a trench 40' x 36" wide and layed several hundred feet of sch 40 PVC for two bubblers, two main drains, two vacuum lines, 3 returns and two pool LED lights. An additional 1' x 36" deep x 35' for future electric and water for an outdoor kitchen.
5) Tile and coping - Ivan, masterful
6) Paver crew - OMG, Primo is the man's name, at least that what he answers too, what a crew!! 5,600 sf of pavers, worked 12 hour days, nailed the drainage plan, implemented the drain to the street and laughed, had fun doing it. The lead, Google translate worked well for detailed conversation but simple things Primo knows enough english to get the job done. This crew accomplished amazing things with pavers and this job was not a simple one on top of being fairly large.
We're not to completion yet, but anticipate paver completion the week of 21Apr and pool surface the week of 28Apr2025.
We will be swimming in May.
One VERY satisfied Oasis Pavers and Pools customer
