Season three of the cable TV show Insane Pools: Off The Deep End kicks off Friday night on Animal Planet.
For the second episode of the new season the series will include a backyard build by Jacksonville’s Pratt Guys, which is owned by brothers Adam, Derek and Jason Pratt.
“Pratt Guys was hired to build this backyard for a homeowner that lives here in Jacksonville,” Jason Pratt said. “And this project consists of a swimming pool, a few grottos, a cabana, outdoor kitchen”
The homeowner, Pratt said, wanted the grotto made of natural stone, not concrete.
“So we actually went to Chattanooga, Tennessee,” he explained, “and we handpicked nearly 300,000 pounds of rocks and had it shipped down on five truckloads.”
Pratt wouldn’t say how much everything cost, just that it’s amazing.
“I think the biggest reaction people in Jacksonville are going to have is going to be: ‘There is no way this is in Jacksonville, Florida.’ I don’t think anybody in Jacksonville’s ever seen anything like this.”
The episode of Pools: Off The Deep End featuring the Pratt Guys will air next Friday night, June 29, at 9 on Animal Planet.
