Reviews from local homeowners

Murfreesboro storefronts for parts, chemicals & water testing
Murfreesboro's Full-service pool company

Build it, keep it running, or just come get what you need.

Most people find us one of three ways. Some are starting from a flat lawn. Some already have a pool and need someone reliable to look after it. Some just need chlorine and an honest water test on a Saturday morning. We do all three, out of Murfreesboro, with the same crew and the same phone number.
01 / BUILD

Design and build a new pool

Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner, all in house, with CAD drawings before anyone touches your yard. This is the part we are known for.
  • Free on-site design consultation
  • Permits and inspections handled
  • Decking, hardscape, and fencing
  • Financing through Lyon and HFS
02 / SERVICE

Service and maintenance

Routine cleaning, repairs, openings and closings, for any pool in the area whether we built it or not.
  • Weekly and biweekly service
  • Equipment repair and replacement
  • Leak detection and diagnostics
  • Liner replacement and renovation
03 / SHOP

Two Murfreesboro stores

Full retail at both locations, same hours, same stock. Bring in a water sample and we will test it while you wait.
  • Chemicals and balancers
  • Equipment, parts, and accessories
  • Water testing kits
  • Free in-store water analysis
Choose your build

Three ways to get a pool.
We build all three, so we'll tell you the full story.

Most builders push whatever they're set up to pour. We run gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner crews, which means the recommendation you get is based on your yard, your budget, and how you actually plan to use it.

How it works

Six steps, one crew, no mystery.

You'll know who's in your yard, what happens next, and roughly when. That's the part most homeowners tell us they were dreading, and it's the part we're best at.
01

Consultation

We walk the yard, talk budget honestly, and check setbacks, grade, and access before anyone promises anything.
02

CAD design

You see your pool drawn to scale in your actual yard: shape, decking, equipment pad, the works. Revise it until it's right.
03

Permits & engineering

We pull the permits and handle inspections with Rutherford County or your city. You don't chase paperwork.
04

Excavation & shell

Dig, steel, plumbing, and shell. Gunite sprayed, walls set, or the fiberglass unit craned into place.
05

Deck & finish

Coping, decking, tile, liner or plaster, fencing, and any hardscape that ties the pool into the rest of the yard.
06

Startup & school

We fill it, balance it, and teach you the equipment. Then you've got two stores and a service team five minutes away.
Service & maintenance

We look after pools we didn't build, too.

Half of what we do has nothing to do with construction. If your pump is loud, your water is green, or the last company stopped answering, that's a normal Tuesday for us. Our service techs cover Rutherford County and surrounding towns year-round.
Weekly & bi-weekly maintenance
Brushing, vacuuming, skimming, filter cleaning, and chemistry balanced on a schedule you don't have to think about.
Openings & closings
Spring startup and fall winterizing, done properly, so nothing cracks over the winter and nothing blooms in April.
Equipment repair & replacement
Pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, automation, and lighting. We're Jandy specialists and stock common parts.
Weekly & bi-weekly maintenance
Losing more than evaporation? We find it before you lose another season of water bills.
Liner replacement & resurfacing
A new liner or finish is the cheapest way to make a tired pool look new. Plus deck repair and coping work.
Free water analysis
Bring a sample into either store and we'll test it and tell you exactly what to add. No purchase, no appointment.
Why Backyard Blues

The little things make a big difference.

It's been our line for years because it's the actual difference between a pool you love and a pool you resent. Here's where it shows up.

We're not going anywhere

Family owned, headquartered in Murfreesboro, with two storefronts you can walk into. The person who sold you the pool is the person you'll see at the counter in year six.

All three build types

Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl liner in house. We have no reason to talk you into the wrong one, so the recommendation you get is the honest one.

Design before dirt

Full CAD drawings so you're approving a real plan, not a sketch on a napkin. Changes are free on paper and expensive in concrete.

Service after the check clears

Routine maintenance, repairs, renovations, liner replacements, and free water analysis. Most builders hand you a warranty and a wave.

Award-winning work

Multiple Ruthies Awards for the most beautiful swimming pools in Murfreesboro and the surrounding area, voted on by the people who live here.

Financing that works

We partner with Lyon Financial and HFS Financial so you can spread the build across years instead of one brutal summer.

We have been through 3 other pool companies and we FINALLY found our longterm pool care solution! Colby came here and explained everything thoroughly rather than talking over us like we were idiots (like other pool companies do). He spent a LONG time here making sure EVERYTHING that needed to be done got done (where other pool companies spend 15 minutes here and leave), he explained everything that he did for our pool (where other pool companies leave with no explanation of what they even did) and our pool is FINALLY beautiful and clear!!! It's such a great feeling that our kids can now enjoy a our pool all summer long, thanks Backyard Blues (and thank you Colby!!!).

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Backyard Blues Pools! From the first meeting to the final walkthrough, the entire process was professional, organized, and far less stressful than we expected for such a major project. A special thank you to our project manager, Andrew. He was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire build. He was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always took the time to answer our questions and keep us informed. We always felt like he genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right, and his attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction never went unnoticed. The craftsmanship and quality of our pool, waterfall, slide, decking, and every finishing touch exceeded our expectations. Our backyard has truly become our favorite place to spend time as a family, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Backyard Blues Pools.

Love Backyard Blues and have been using them for quite a few years now. They have never steered me wrong or attempted to sell something that I did not need. Joanne is awesome. She gets to know you and your pool situation and somehow remembers! The rest of the team are great. Even the new folks get trained and up to speed quickly.

I don’t write reviews often but Backyard Blues is worthy of the recognition! We talked to several (Franklin-based) pool builders but chose ultimately chose Backyard Blues (out of Murfreesboro) because of how easy they were to work with. Andrew, Theresa, Craig and everyone else that spent time on our project made the process as smooth as something like this can be. Easy to work with, detailed but flexible, and genuinely committed to delivering a high quality project. Highly recommend giving them a chance on your pool!

Izarria at Backyard Blues Pool was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made the process easy to understand. Her knowledge and willingness to help made a huge difference in getting my pool looking exactly how I wanted. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and goes the extra mile, Izarria is the one to ask for.

Backyard Blues was amazing to work with, and I couldn’t be happier. Izarria was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk me through exactly what I needed to get my pool looking back crystal blue. If you want real guidance and great service, I highly recommend them!

We had a great experience with Backyard Blues Pools installing our Fiberglass inground pool. The team was professional, reliable, and communicated with us throughout the entire process. The project stayed on schedule, and the final result looks amazing. What impressed us most was the communication. Andrew our project manager kept us informed at every stage of the project, and any questions we had were answered quickly. The project stayed on schedule and the final result exceeded our expectations. Our backyard has completely been transformed, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool installation!
Financing

A pool is a monthly number, not a wall of cash.

Most of our clients finance. We work with two lenders who specialize in pool projects, which means terms built around a construction timeline instead of a car loan.

Lyon Financial

Long-running pool-specific lender. Unsecured options, no lien on your home in many cases.

HFS Financial

Home improvement loans with fast pre-qualification that won't ding your credit to check.
Frequently Asked Questions

The questions everybody asks first.

It depends far more on your yard than on the pool. Access, grade, soil, retaining needs, decking square footage, and equipment all move the number. Vinyl liner is typically the most affordable entry point, fiberglass sits in the middle with lower long-term maintenance, and gunite has the highest ceiling because it's fully custom. We'll give you a real, itemized number after we walk the site, not a range designed to get us in the door.

Once permits are in hand, fiberglass usually runs three to five weeks, vinyl liner four to seven, and gunite eight to twelve. Tennessee weather and county inspection schedules are the two things that move those dates, and we'll tell you as soon as they do.

Short version: choose gunite if you want a specific shape, a vanishing edge, or an integrated spa. Choose fiberglass if you want in the water fast with the lowest ongoing chemical and maintenance load. Choose vinyl liner if you want the largest, most customizable pool for the money and don't mind replacing a liner down the road. We build all three, so we'll walk your yard and tell you which one it actually wants.

Yes. We pull permits and coordinate inspections with Rutherford County or your municipality, including barrier and fencing requirements. You approve the design; we handle the paperwork.

Absolutely, and we do it constantly. Liner replacements, resurfacing, deck work, equipment upgrades, leak detection, and routine maintenance. Bring a water sample into either Murfreesboro store and we'll test it for free whether we built your pool or not.

Anyone. Both Murfreesboro locations are full retail stores, open to the public, with the same hours and the same stock. Chemicals, equipment, parts, cleaning gear, and water testing kits. Free water analysis is free for everyone, and we'd rather you got the right answer from us than guessed at the big box store.

Fall and winter, by a wide margin. Design and permitting happen while nobody's swimming anyway, the schedule is open, and you're in the water on the first warm weekend instead of waiting behind everyone who called in April.

Still deciding?

Fifteen minutes on the phone will tell you more than another week of scrolling. We'll ask about your yard, your budget, and how you plan to use it, then tell you honestly what's realistic.
