You’re not looking for just any pool. You want something that fits your property, handles Georgia summers without constant repairs, and doesn’t turn into a maintenance nightmare two years in.
That means working with custom swimming pool builders who know how to handle South Georgia’s clay soil, who pull the right permits without you chasing them down, and who don’t disappear after the check clears. You’re investing in your home, and you need it done right the first time.
When the job’s finished, you get a pool that actually increases your property value, gives your family a place to cool off without driving to the lake, and doesn’t require an engineering degree to maintain. That’s what happens when you work with a licensed pool contractor in Georgia who’s been doing this for over 30 years.
We’ve spent over three decades building custom inground pools across Douglas County and the surrounding areas, including Leliaton. We’re not new to this, and we’re not learning on your property.
We’re a licensed and insured pool company that handles everything from design to final inspection. That includes pulling permits, managing inspections, and making sure your pool meets Georgia’s building codes without you having to become an expert in local regulations.
Leliaton sits in an area where soil conditions can vary significantly from one property to the next. We’ve worked with everything from heavy clay to sandy loam, and we know how to build a pool foundation that won’t shift, crack, or cause problems down the road.
First, we come out to your property in Leliaton to look at your yard, talk about what you want, and figure out what’s actually possible given your space, soil, and budget. No pressure, no upselling—just a real conversation about what makes sense.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permit process with Douglas County. This usually takes a few weeks, and we manage all the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to. After permits clear, we start excavation and build your pool using gunite construction, which holds up better in Georgia’s soil conditions than other methods.
The build typically takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on weather and any custom features you want. We install your equipment, test everything, walk you through how to maintain it, and clean up the site before we’re done. You’re not left guessing how anything works.
Ready to get started?
You get a custom inground pool designed specifically for your property and built to handle South Georgia’s climate. That includes proper drainage, equipment that won’t quit in the heat, and construction methods that account for local soil conditions.
We handle all permits and inspections required by Douglas County and the state of Georgia. You don’t chase down paperwork or wonder if something’s up to code. We also install safety barriers and covers if you need them, which is especially important if you have kids or pets.
In Leliaton and the surrounding areas, you’re dealing with longer swim seasons than most of the country—sometimes March through October. That means your pool gets more use and needs to be built to last. We use energy-efficient pumps and heaters that won’t destroy your electric bill, and we make sure your filtration system can handle Georgia’s pollen and debris without constant clogging.
After installation, we train you on how everything works. You’re not calling us every week because you can’t figure out your own pool.
Most custom inground pools take 8 to 12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you can swim. That timeline assumes normal weather and no major surprises underground.
The permit process with Douglas County adds another 2 to 4 weeks before we can start digging. We submit everything and handle the inspections, but the county sets the timeline on approvals.
Weather delays happen, especially during summer storm season in South Georgia. If we get a week of heavy rain, we’re not pouring concrete or doing electrical work. We’d rather wait a few days than rush a job that needs to be right.
Gunite pools work best in this area. South Georgia soil ranges from heavy clay to sandy loam depending on where your property sits, and gunite gives us the flexibility to build a strong shell that won’t crack or shift.
Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can put pressure on a pool structure. Gunite is poured concrete reinforced with rebar, so it handles ground movement better than fiberglass or vinyl liner pools.
We also make sure the excavation and backfill are done right. Poor compaction or drainage around the pool causes most of the structural problems we see when we’re called in to fix someone else’s work.
Yes. Any residential pool in Georgia requires a building permit, and Douglas County enforces that. The permit process includes plan review, inspections during construction, and a final inspection before you can use the pool.
We handle the entire permit process for you. That includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything meets the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code that Georgia follows.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it causes major problems when you try to sell your house or if something goes wrong and insurance gets involved. It’s not worth the risk, and it’s not legal.
Custom inground pools in this area typically start around $40,000 and go up depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic pool with standard equipment costs less than one with a spa, custom lighting, and water features.
Your property also affects cost. If we’re dealing with difficult access, rocky soil, or drainage issues, that adds to the labor and equipment time. We give you a clear estimate after we’ve seen your property and know what we’re working with.
Financing is available if you need it, and we’re upfront about what everything costs before you commit. No surprise charges halfway through the project.
You’ll need to check and balance your water chemistry weekly, clean your skimmer and pump baskets regularly, and brush down the walls and floor to prevent algae buildup. Georgia’s heat and humidity create ideal conditions for algae, so staying on top of chlorine levels matters.
Your filter needs backwashing or cleaning depending on what type you have. Cartridge filters get pulled and rinsed every few weeks. Sand and DE filters get backwashed when the pressure gauge shows it’s time.
We train you on all of this before we leave. Most people handle their own maintenance, but if you’d rather not deal with it, there are pool service companies in the area that can take care of it for you.
Yes. We handle repairs, renovations, and equipment upgrades for existing pools throughout Douglas County and surrounding areas. If your pool is leaking, the plaster is deteriorating, or your equipment is outdated, we can fix it.
A lot of older pools in this area were built before modern energy-efficient equipment was standard. Upgrading your pump, heater, and filter can cut your operating costs significantly and make the pool easier to maintain.
We also do resurfacing, tile replacement, and deck repairs. If you’re not sure whether your pool needs a minor fix or a major renovation, we’ll come out and give you an honest assessment of what’s worth doing.
