You step outside and feel the stress melt away. Your custom-designed pool isn’t just about cooling off—it’s your family’s new favorite gathering place. Kids splash while adults relax in thoughtfully designed seating areas. Summer evenings become magical with integrated lighting that transforms your backyard into something special.
Every design choice we make considers how you’ll actually use your space. Shallow areas for lounging, deeper sections for real swimming, and features that make maintenance simple rather than stressful. Your pool becomes the backdrop for birthday parties, quiet morning swims, and those perfect Georgia evenings when everyone wants to be outside.
Deep Waters Pools brings over three decades of hands-on pool construction experience to every Bickley project. We started this company after years of working with concrete, plumbing, and custom builds because we wanted to do things the right way—focused on quality, honesty, and the kind of personal service that’s getting harder to find.
We understand Georgia’s unique challenges. The red clay soil, the humid summers, the occasional heavy rains that can complicate construction. These aren’t problems for us—they’re just part of building pools in South Georgia, and we’ve learned how to work with them rather than against them.
We start with your backyard and your ideas. During our initial consultation, we’ll walk your property, discuss your vision, and talk through practical considerations like drainage, access, and how you plan to use your pool. No high-pressure sales pitch—just honest conversation about what’s possible and what makes sense for your space and budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permitting and begin excavation. This is where our experience with Georgia soil conditions really matters. We know how to work with challenging ground conditions and plan for proper drainage that prevents future problems. The construction process typically takes several weeks, and we keep you informed every step of the way.
After installation, we walk through everything with you—how your equipment works, basic maintenance, water chemistry, and safety features. We don’t disappear after the job is done. Your pool is built to last, and we’re here to make sure you get years of enjoyment from it.

Our pool design services go beyond just the water. We create complete outdoor living spaces that work with Bickley’s climate and your lifestyle. Custom inground cement pools built for durability, with features like integrated spas, waterfalls, and lighting systems that extend your enjoyment into the evening hours.
In South Georgia’s humid climate, proper design prevents common problems like algae growth and chemical imbalances. We use construction techniques and materials that resist the challenges of our local environment. Energy-efficient pumps and filtration systems keep operating costs reasonable, while custom pool covers provide safety and help maintain water temperature.
Every project includes detailed planning for drainage and equipment placement. Georgia’s clay soil requires specific techniques for long-term stability, and our experience with local conditions means fewer surprises and better results. We also coordinate with local utilities and handle all permitting requirements, making the process straightforward for homeowners.
Most custom pool projects in Bickley take 4-8 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on design complexity and weather conditions. Georgia’s mild winters actually give us more construction days than many other states, though summer thunderstorms can occasionally cause brief delays.
The timeline starts with design consultation and permitting, which typically takes 1-2 weeks. Excavation and plumbing rough-in happen first, followed by steel reinforcement and concrete pour. After the concrete cures, we install equipment, plumbing, and any custom features like waterfalls or lighting. Final steps include decking, landscaping coordination, and water filling.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our experience with local soil conditions helps us anticipate potential challenges and plan accordingly, which keeps projects on schedule.
In Georgia’s hot, humid climate, we recommend designs that minimize maintenance while maximizing enjoyment. Cement pools with smooth finishes resist algae better than rougher surfaces, and proper circulation design prevents dead spots where problems can develop.
Features like tanning ledges and shallow areas are popular because they let you enjoy the water without full submersion during cooler months. Integrated spas extend your season, while energy-efficient heating systems keep operating costs reasonable. We also recommend saltwater systems, which are gentler on skin and require fewer harsh chemicals.
For Bickley specifically, we design with proper drainage to handle Georgia’s heavy rain events. Equipment placement considers accessibility for maintenance while protecting systems from weather. Custom pool covers aren’t just for safety—they help maintain water temperature and reduce chemical usage during our long swimming season.
Georgia’s red clay and varying soil conditions require specific techniques that we’ve perfected over 30+ years of local construction. Clay soil can shift and retain water, so we start every project with proper soil analysis and drainage planning.
Our excavation process includes soil stabilization when needed and installation of drainage systems that prevent water accumulation around your pool structure. We use reinforcement techniques specific to clay soils and ensure proper compaction at each stage. This prevents settling issues that can cause problems years later.
For challenging sites, we may recommend soil amendments or additional drainage features. Our experience with local conditions means we can identify potential issues early and address them properly, rather than discovering problems after construction is complete. This upfront attention to soil conditions is why our pools maintain their structural integrity over time.
Custom cement pools require regular but straightforward maintenance that most homeowners can handle themselves. Daily tasks include skimming debris and checking equipment operation. Weekly tasks involve testing water chemistry, adding chemicals as needed, and brushing pool surfaces.
In Georgia’s climate, you’ll need to monitor chlorine levels more closely during hot summer months when usage is high and sun exposure breaks down chemicals faster. We recommend weekly professional water testing during peak season to stay ahead of any chemistry issues. Proper circulation and filtration prevent most problems before they start.
Seasonal maintenance includes equipment winterization (though less extensive than northern climates), annual equipment servicing, and periodic acid washing to maintain surface appearance. We provide detailed maintenance instructions and can recommend local service providers if you prefer professional maintenance. Most owners find the routine manageable and enjoy the control over their pool’s condition.
Absolutely. Modern pool design is really about creating complete outdoor living spaces, and we specialize in integrating pools with patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and landscaping. The key is planning everything together from the beginning rather than adding features later.
Popular combinations include swim-up seating areas, integrated spas that double as water features, and fire bowls positioned for evening entertaining. We coordinate with local contractors for outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and hardscaping to ensure everything works together both functionally and aesthetically.
For Bickley properties, we consider sight lines from your home, prevailing winds, and sun exposure throughout the day. Proper planning creates spaces that work for both active pool use and relaxed entertaining. Features like LED lighting systems and sound integration transform your backyard into a true resort-style environment that you’ll use year-round.
Our difference starts with experience—over 30 years of hands-on pool construction before we even started Deep Waters Pools. We’re not a franchise or large company trying to serve every market. We’re local contractors who chose to focus on South Georgia because we understand the unique challenges and opportunities here.
We handle every aspect of construction ourselves rather than subcontracting major components. This means better quality control, faster problem resolution, and direct communication throughout your project. You work with the same people from design through completion, not a series of different crews and supervisors.
Most importantly, we stand behind our work long after installation. Pool construction isn’t just about getting the job done—it’s about creating something that performs well for years. Our reputation in the local community depends on every pool we build, so we approach each project as if it’s going in our own backyard.
