We were extremely pleased with Mitchs workmanship on the removal of our pool. We had the opportunity to watch him work and were impressed with how he maneuvers his equipment. You can tell he takes pride and has passion for what he does as it shows in his workmanship. Would definitely recommend Mitch for any landscaping and/or pool removals.

Mitch removed our pool on July 29, 2019 and did a fantastic job. He is very skilled with his equipment, very knowledgeable about the removal process, and is detailed oriented from start to finish. We contracted the sod thru Mitch and were very pleased with the final look to our backyard. The old saying "you get what you pay for" certainly applies to Mitch and his operation. He was not the cheapest bid, but he is worth every penny you spend for your pool removal. I highly recommend Mitch to anyone that is thinking about removing your pool. Thanks Mitch for a job well done!!

Pool removal and fill-in: We hired Collyard Landscaping to remove a pool at our house. The project involved removing the pool, hauling away debris, and filling in the pool. We worked with Mitch, who was both personable and professional throughout the process and also did a great job. I appreciated that he took care to make sure all of the base fill was thoroughly compacted to help us avoid the sunken landscape that often comes several years after pool removal. I would recommend him to friends without hesitation. Thanks!
