A few weeks ago, the Mokena area was hit pretty hard by severe storms. 💔

As we watched our community come together to help, we knew we wanted to do something too. Mokena is the heart of our business, and this community has supported us in so many ways over the years. We just wanted to find a way to give some of that support back.

At the same time, we were getting ready for our Customer Appreciation Night. We already had raffle prizes lined up, but we thought… why not make the raffle about more than just winning something?

We decided to give our customers the opportunity to purchase additional raffle tickets, with the money raised going directly back into our community. Discussing this idea with John the owner, he happily insisted on matching whatever we raised. ❤️

Together, we were able to make a donation to NAWS Humane Society in Mokena.

NAWS was hit especially hard by the storms, with their roof being torn off, and they are still working to recover. Our donation will help support their mission of providing care, shelter, medical treatment, and second chances to animals in need. 🐾

If you’d like to help support NAWS Humane Society of Illinois as they continue to recover, you can donate here: https://nawsus.org/

And honestly, this is what makes us so proud to be part of the Mud Turtle family.

You guys made this possible! ❤️

Your support doesn't just help us build pools, patios, and backyards. It allows us to turn around and help another local organization when our community needs it most.

Being part of the Mud Turtle Family means being part of something bigger....a community that looks out for one another. 🐢💚

Thank you for being part of it.

Labor Day weekend is almost here!

We just want to let you know we will be closed on Labor Day September 7th so our team can enjoy the holiday with family and friends. We will be back to normal hours on Tuesday Sept 8th.

Before the long weekend, we encourage you to stop by for a FREE water test and grab any pool supplies you may need. This way, you can keep your pool water balanced and crystal clear while we’re away.

We hope you have a safe and fun-filled Labor Day weekend!

School may be starting soon, but that doesn't mean that pool season has to end!

There’s still plenty of time to soak up the sunshine, enjoy those warm afternoons, and still make many more backyard memories! 😁

After a big storm, your pool may need a little extra attention. Here are a few things you can do to help get it back in shape:

Check your pump & breakers: Storms can trip breakers, so make sure your pump is running if you have power.

Run your pool robot: Help clear out leaves, dirt, and other debris that may have blown into the pool.

Remove larger debris: Grab anything you can safely remove from the water.

Consider shocking your pool: Heavy rain and debris can affect your pool’s
chemistry, so a post-storm shock can help get things back on track.

Get your water tested: We recommend having your chemicals checked a day or two after the storm so any necessary adjustments can be made.

And if your pool needs a little extra love after the storm, Mud Turtle Outdoor Living is here to help!
Stay safe, take care of your neighbors, and don’t forget about the pool! 💖
