Hear from Our Customers
You get a backyard that finally works for your family. Not just a hole in the ground with water in it, but a space where your kids actually want to be home on summer afternoons instead of glued to screens.
The pool gets finished when we say it will. You’re not chasing us down for updates or wondering if we’re coming back next week. We show up, we communicate, and we finish the job without the drama you’ve heard about from your neighbors who hired the wrong crew.
Your investment holds up. We specialize in custom inground cement pools because they last longer and handle South Georgia’s clay soil and weather better than cheaper alternatives. You’re not dealing with cracks, fading, or constant repairs three years down the road.
Deep Waters Pools started in 2014, but the experience behind it goes back over three decades. We’re not new to this. We’ve been building pools in South Georgia long enough to know what works in Broxton’s soil conditions and what doesn’t.
We’re local to Douglas County. That means we’re not running crews across three states trying to juggle too many jobs. When you call, you’re talking to people who know your area and have likely worked on a pool within a few miles of your house.
We’re licensed, we pull the right permits, and we do the work that passes inspection the first time. No shortcuts that come back to bite you when you try to sell your house or file an insurance claim.
First, we come to your property and talk through what you want. Not a high-pressure sales pitch, just a real conversation about size, shape, features, and budget. We measure the space, check access for equipment, and talk through any site challenges before you sign anything.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permits and scheduling. You’ll know the timeline upfront. We excavate, set the steel framework, and pour the concrete shell. This is where our cement pool expertise matters most—proper rebar placement and concrete mix ratios make the difference between a pool that lasts 30 years and one that cracks in five.
After the shell cures, we install plumbing, electrical, and filtration systems. Then we finish the interior surface, install coping and decking, and fill it up. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage because we keep you updated without you having to chase us down. Most custom inground pools take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on weather and any custom features you add.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting a complete custom inground pool installation. That means design consultation, permitting, excavation, steel reinforcement, concrete shell construction, plumbing and electrical systems, filtration equipment, interior finish, coping, and decking. We also install custom pool covers for safety, which matters if you’ve got kids or grandkids around.
In Broxton and Douglas County, we’re working with clay-heavy soil that shifts more than sandy coastal areas. Our concrete pools are engineered for that. We’re not using a one-size-fits-all approach from a national franchise that doesn’t understand local ground conditions.
We also build custom spas and patios if you want to extend your outdoor living space beyond just the pool. A lot of families in South Georgia are spending more time at home now, and a well-designed backyard setup gives you a reason to actually use it. You’re not just getting a pool—you’re getting a space that makes sense for how you live.
Most custom inground pools in our area run between $40,000 and $80,000, depending on size, shape, and features. A basic rectangular pool with standard finishes sits on the lower end. Add a spa, custom lighting, waterfalls, or premium decking materials, and you’re moving toward the higher end.
Concrete pools cost more upfront than fiberglass, but they last longer and give you complete design flexibility. You’re not limited to pre-made shapes. If your yard has an odd layout or you want something specific, concrete is the only way to get exactly what you want.
We give you a detailed quote upfront so you know what you’re paying before we start. No surprise charges halfway through because we “found something.” We’ve been doing this long enough to know what to expect when we dig in South Georgia soil.
Plan on 8 to 12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you’re swimming. Weather is the biggest variable—heavy rain delays concrete curing and we can’t pour in freezing temperatures, though that’s rare in South Georgia.
Custom features add time. A simple rectangular pool with basic finishes goes faster than a freeform design with a built-in spa, tanning ledge, and custom tile work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on what you’re asking for.
We don’t overbook jobs, so we’re not bouncing between five projects and leaving yours sitting for two weeks at a time. When we start your pool, we stay on it until it’s done. You’ll see progress every week, not every month.
Concrete pools are built on-site and fully customizable. Any shape, any size, any depth. If you’ve got a specific vision or a challenging yard layout, concrete is your only real option. They also last longer—30 to 50 years with proper maintenance—and you can refinish the interior surface if it wears down over time.
Fiberglass pools are pre-made shells that get dropped into your yard. They’re faster to install and require less maintenance, but you’re limited to whatever shapes the manufacturer offers. If none of those work for your space, you’re out of luck.
We specialize in concrete because it performs better in South Georgia’s soil conditions and gives you complete control over the design. You’re not compromising on what you want just because a fiberglass manufacturer doesn’t make that shape.
Yes. Any inground pool in Douglas County requires a building permit, and the installation has to meet Georgia’s pool safety codes. That includes fencing requirements, electrical inspections, and setback distances from property lines.
We handle all the permitting for you. We know what the county requires, how to submit the paperwork, and how to schedule inspections so they don’t hold up your project. You don’t have to figure out who to call or what forms to fill out.
Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it causes major problems later. You can’t get homeowners insurance coverage on an unpermitted pool, and you’ll have to bring it up to code—or remove it—if you try to sell your house. It’s not worth the risk.
This is a legitimate concern. You’ve probably heard stories about contractors taking deposits and disappearing, or juggling so many jobs that yours sits unfinished for months. It’s a real problem in the pool industry right now.
Here’s what protects you with us: we’ve been in business since 2014 and we’re local to Douglas County. We’re not a fly-by-night crew from out of state. Our reputation is tied to this community, and we’re not torching it by leaving jobs unfinished. You can drive by other pools we’ve built in the area.
We also don’t ask for the full payment upfront. Our payment schedule is tied to project milestones—you pay as work gets completed and inspected, not before. If we’re not showing up and making progress, you’re not cutting checks. That keeps everyone honest.
You’ll need to brush the walls weekly, balance the water chemistry, and clean the filter regularly. Concrete pools require more active maintenance than fiberglass because the surface is porous and algae can take hold if you let the chemistry slip.
Every 10 to 15 years, you’ll need to resurface the interior. That’s when the plaster or aggregate finish wears down and starts looking rough. Resurfacing costs a few thousand dollars, but it’s planned maintenance, not an emergency repair. You know it’s coming.
The trade-off is longevity and customization. You’re getting a pool that lasts decades and looks exactly how you want it, in exchange for staying on top of regular upkeep. If you’d rather minimize maintenance, we can talk through your options, but most families in South Georgia who want a custom design end up choosing concrete and handling the maintenance themselves or hiring a local pool service.
