Clean and Respectful Job Sites: Building a pool involves serious excavation, but the crew keeps the job site mostly tidy, minimizing the daily impact on your family and neighbors.
A Personal Success Story: Southern Hills Plantation Oasis
To truly understand the Hive Outdoors difference, look no further than their actual results.
For our custom build in Southern Hills Plantation, the team took a blank canvas and transformed it into a space we really enjoy. They crafted the perfect pool, built an outdoor kitchen, and enclosed the yard with quality black aluminum fencing. Building a pool in Southern Hills Plantation comes with a unique set of rules, imposed by the HOA, that Hive is familiar with and well equipped to navigate.
The entire process was defined by the incredible professionals on their team:
-
Ben was phenomenal during the vision and design phase, meticulously planning the layout and ensuring every detail aligned with our lifestyle. To be able to sit at the computer, make design changes and see how they would look in real-time is a great asset.
-
Charlie and Teddie took over on the project management side, proving to be great leaders who kept the construction crew running on a tight, disciplined timeline.
-
Ron came in after construction and got the pool started up. He tweaked all of the water features and set up all the automation. He took care of cleaning and chemistry during the first month and then taught us everything we needed to know to take care of and get the most out of our pool.
Surprisingly Quick Construction Timelines
Perhaps the most impressive part of the experience was the timeline. In an era where supply chain issues and labor shortages routinely push construction projects months past their deadlines, Hive Outdoors finished our project ahead of schedule.
Delivering high-quality, quality craftsmanship ahead of schedule is nearly unheard of in modern construction, but it is exactly the standard Hive Outdoors sets for themselves.
The Verdict: If you want a stress-free experience, world-class design, and a dedicated team that delivers on their promises, look no further. Hive Outdoors doesn’t just build pools—they build paradise.
