The name
Why “Happy Frog”?
“We care about animals.” James
Frogs and other small critters often fall into pools and can’t climb back out. Without a way out, they drown.
So every new customer gets free frog slides: small escape ramps that let them climb out safely. We put one by each skimmer, and most customers get 2–3.
- Free for every new customer
- One by each skimmer
- Most customers get 2–3

What customers say
5.0 on Thumbtack (2 reviews)
Couldn’t be more pleased! the owner James did a great job servicing our pool last week. Showed up right on time, was super polite and clearly knows his stuff when it comes to pool maintenance. He explained what he was doing, why certain things needed attention, and even gave me a few easy tips to keep things running smoothly between visits. Highly recommend!
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. James helped me understand my pools chemistry & seasonality. Being a new pool owner, I was a little stressed out with the weekly upkeep, but having a trusted pool caretaker for over a month now, I am stress free. Thank you so much!
