Today, our team combines his five decades of craftsmanship with modern design to create reliable, resort-style retreats that elevate everyday living and add lasting value to your home.

Principles That Guide Us

Our work is built on clear, practical promises: honest communication, straightforward pricing, durable construction, and dependable scheduling. We explain options up front, agree on a realistic timeline, and stick to it as closely as weather and site conditions allow, so you know what to expect and can trust the finished pool.

Backyard Resort Pools is a real family operation. Ernie, his son, and his granddaughter work side by side every day, bringing decades of hands-on experience to each job. They stay involved from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, making sure your pool and outdoor space are built carefully, clearly, and exactly as promised.

Satisfied Customers

B & G – Goodlettsville, TN

We love to throw parties and invite people to spend the night. It’s a smart thing to do these days. And with our pool, we can have lots of people over, cook out, dine out and basically hang by the pool. Last weekend, we started at noon and were still in the pool at midnight! The way Backyard Resort Pools designed it, we can have 20 people out by the pool and it doesn’t even feel crowded.
