Meet the Owner

Backyard Oasis Pools was founded by Steve Griffith in 2022 as an opportunity to do what he loves upon retirement from the Navy.  Steve enlisted in the Navy in 2000 and progressed thru the enlisted ranks until being commissioned in 2011.  His leadership abilities both as "the Chief" and a Naval Officer enabled safe execution of evolutions and projects that seemed nearly impossible.  He has a lifetime of experience dreaming up projects and all aspects of making them become a reality.  This includes being the General Contractor for two of his custom home builds, building of a car and every other project imaginable  As a result of numerous deployments throughout his career he knows first hand the importance of spending quality time with his family and friends to create those memories that will last a lifetime.  He believes in only building using best materials and and construction processes. A prime example being his most recent home build that was built to withstand 200+ MPH winds by employing an all concrete structure  using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).   Knowing the significance in creating those lifetime memories he thought what better way to create those family memories than having a pool in your own backyard.  Upon researching and planning his own pool build he learned that the current pool building processes have existed for 50+ years and of these conventional pool construction methods are not perfect and have their drawbacks.   It was at this time he learned ICF blocks provide a superior pool structure that can be constructed in less time than those conventional methods.
