Hear from Our Customers
You know that feeling when you walk into someone’s backyard and immediately think, “This is where I want to spend my summer evenings”? That’s exactly what happens when we design your custom pool. Your space transforms from ordinary lawn into the place where family memories are made and friends naturally gravitate.
The kids stop asking to go to other people’s houses because yours becomes the destination. Weekend barbecues turn into effortless entertaining because everything flows perfectly around your new pool area. And when you’re sitting poolside on a quiet evening, watching the sun set over water you helped design, you’ll know you made the right investment.
This isn’t just about adding a pool to your property. It’s about creating the lifestyle you’ve been picturing – where relaxation comes naturally and every day feels a little more like vacation.
We bring over 30 years of hands-on pool construction experience to every project in Alma and throughout South Georgia. What started as one craftsman’s passion for building quality pools has grown into a trusted local business that families rely on for honest work and personalized service.
We’ve seen every soil condition, navigated every permit requirement, and solved every challenge that comes with building pools in our area. That experience means your project moves smoothly from design to completion without the delays and surprises that can derail other contractors.
When you work with us, you’re working with people who understand both the technical demands of pool construction and the importance of treating your property – and your investment – with the respect they deserve.
Your pool design process starts with an honest conversation about what you want, what your space can accommodate, and what fits your budget. We walk your property together, discuss your vision, and create a design that works for your family’s specific needs and your yard’s unique characteristics.
Once you approve the design, we handle all the permits and scheduling. Our crew shows up when we say we will, keeps your property clean during construction, and maintains clear communication about progress every step of the way. We excavate, install steel reinforcement, run all plumbing and electrical, and apply the gunite that forms your pool’s permanent structure.
The finishing touches – tile, coping, decking, and interior surface – transform your construction site into the backyard oasis you envisioned. We test all systems, balance the water chemistry, and walk you through everything you need to know about maintaining your new investment. From start to finish, you know exactly what’s happening and when.

Our pool design services cover every aspect of creating your custom inground pool, from initial concept through final startup. We specialize in gunite construction because it offers the durability and customization options that make sense for South Georgia’s climate and soil conditions.
Every pool we design includes safety features like custom-fitted covers, proper drainage, and code-compliant barriers. We work within Alma’s building requirements and HOA guidelines, ensuring your project meets all local standards while reflecting your personal style and functional needs.
In South Georgia’s warm climate, your pool becomes a year-round feature of your outdoor living space. We design with this in mind, creating pools that complement your existing landscape and provide the foundation for outdoor entertaining that extends well beyond swimming season. Whether you’re planning family gatherings or quiet evenings at home, your pool design integrates seamlessly with how you actually live.
Pool costs in Alma typically range from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. The biggest factors affecting your investment are the pool’s dimensions, the complexity of your yard’s grading and access, and the finishing materials you choose.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every aspect of your project, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Unlike some contractors who start low and add costs later, our estimates include everything needed to complete your pool as designed. We also discuss financing options and help you understand the long-term value your pool adds to your property.
Most custom inground pools in Alma take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on weather, permit processing, and the complexity of your design. We schedule your project carefully and communicate any delays immediately, so you’re never left wondering when work will resume.
The timeline includes excavation, steel installation, plumbing and electrical rough-in, gunite application, tile and coping installation, decking completion, and final startup. Weather can affect some phases more than others, but our experience helps us work efficiently through South Georgia’s seasonal conditions.
We provide a detailed timeline at the start of your project and update you regularly on progress. Our goal is completing quality work on schedule, not rushing through steps that affect your pool’s long-term performance.
Gunite construction creates the strongest, most durable pools available, which matters in South Georgia’s clay soils and temperature variations. Unlike fiberglass pools that can shift or vinyl liner pools that need replacement every 7-10 years, gunite pools are built to last decades with minimal structural maintenance.
The gunite process allows complete customization of size, shape, and depth. We’re not limited to pre-manufactured shapes, so your pool design can work perfectly with your yard’s dimensions and your family’s specific needs. This flexibility also means we can incorporate features like built-in spas, tanning ledges, or unique water features.
Gunite pools also handle our climate better than alternatives. The concrete structure expands and contracts naturally with temperature changes, and the surface can be refinished if needed without replacing the entire pool structure.
Yes, we handle all permit applications, inspections, and regulatory compliance for your pool project in Alma and throughout Coffee County. This includes building permits, electrical permits, and any required inspections during construction.
We’re familiar with local building codes, setback requirements, and safety regulations that apply to residential pools in this area. Our relationships with local officials help ensure smooth permit processing and inspection scheduling, preventing delays that can extend your project timeline.
We also coordinate with utility companies for any required utility locates or service adjustments. From your perspective, you approve the design and we handle the regulatory requirements – keeping your project moving forward without bureaucratic headaches.
New pools require regular but straightforward maintenance: weekly water testing and chemical balancing, periodic cleaning of the pool surface and equipment, and seasonal opening/closing procedures. We provide complete training on all maintenance procedures when we complete your pool.
The automated systems we install – filtration, circulation, and sanitization – handle most of the daily work. Your main responsibilities are monitoring chemical levels, cleaning the skimmer baskets, and keeping the pool area free of debris. Most homeowners spend 15-30 minutes per week on routine maintenance.
We also provide ongoing support after completion. If you have questions about water chemistry, equipment operation, or seasonal maintenance, we’re available to help. Many clients prefer handling their own maintenance, but we can also recommend reliable local pool service companies if you prefer professional maintenance.
We regularly build custom pools in challenging spaces throughout South Georgia, including small lots, sloped yards, and properties with limited access. Our experience with local soil conditions and creative design solutions helps us work within constraints that might stop other contractors.
Small backyards often benefit most from custom design because every square foot matters. We can create pools that maximize your available space while maintaining proper setbacks and safety requirements. Features like integrated spas or multi-depth designs help smaller pools serve multiple functions.
Access challenges – narrow gates, overhead obstacles, or tight corners – require planning but rarely prevent pool construction. We’ve developed techniques for getting equipment and materials into difficult locations, and our crew is experienced with the logistics of working in constrained spaces.
