You’re not just buying a hole in the ground filled with water. You’re creating a space where your kids learn to swim, where summer weekends happen, where property value climbs.
The difference between a pool that becomes your favorite investment and one that becomes a regret comes down to construction quality. Cement pools done right can last 50+ years. Cement pools done wrong start showing cracks, leaks, and surface problems within the first decade.
When you work with licensed pool contractors in Georgia who’ve been doing this for over 30 years, you get fewer callbacks, fewer repairs, and a pool that actually holds up to South Georgia heat and soil conditions. That’s what matters when you’re spending this kind of money.
We’ve been operating in Ocilla since 2014, but the experience behind our business goes back over 30 years. That means we’ve seen what works in South Georgia soil, what doesn’t, and how to build pools that handle the climate here.
We’re not a franchise or a national chain. We’re a local pool company in Douglas County, GA that focuses on custom cement construction, not cookie-cutter fiberglass shells. Every pool we design gets built specifically for your property, your family, and your budget.
You’ll work directly with people who know the permitting process in Ocilla, understand local water tables, and have relationships with inspectors and suppliers across the region. That’s the advantage of going local.
First, we meet at your property to talk through what you want, what’s possible, and what it’s going to cost. No surprises, no upselling. We measure the space, check access for equipment, and discuss design options that fit your lot.
Once you approve the design and contract, we handle permits and scheduling. Then excavation starts—we dig, set plumbing and electrical lines, and build the steel framework that reinforces the concrete shell. This is where experience matters most. Shortcuts here lead to structural problems later.
After the shell is poured and cured, we install your finish—plaster, tile, coping—and get the equipment running. Then we fill it, balance the water, and walk you through everything you need to know about maintenance. The whole process typically takes 8-12 weeks depending on weather, permits, and customization level.

Every custom swimming pool we build in Ocilla starts with a design consultation. You’re not picking from three templates. We draw up plans based on your yard, your vision, and your budget—whether that’s a simple rectangular lap pool or a luxury design with integrated spa, custom lighting, and stone patios.
Construction includes full excavation, steel rebar reinforcement, gunite or shotcrete application, plumbing, electrical, filtration systems, and your choice of interior finish. We also handle all permits and inspections required in Ocilla and Douglas County. You’re not coordinating five different contractors—we manage it all.
South Georgia has unique challenges. The soil composition here affects how we engineer the pool shell. Summer heat impacts curing times and material selection. We’ve built enough pools in this area to know how to account for these factors, so your pool doesn’t settle, crack, or develop surface issues down the road. That’s what 30+ years of local experience gets you.
Most custom cement pools in the Ocilla and Douglas County area run between $50,000 and $100,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic rectangular pool with standard finishes sits on the lower end. Add a spa, custom lighting, stone coping, or complex shapes and you move up.
Your specific cost depends on access to your backyard, soil conditions, how much excavation is needed, and what equipment and finishes you choose. We give you a fixed-price contract after the design consultation so you know exactly what you’re paying before we break ground.
Financing is available if you need it, and we can work with you to phase certain features—like adding a heater or upgraded lighting later—if budget is tight now. The goal is to get you a pool that fits your property and your wallet without cutting corners on the construction that matters.
Plan on 8 to 12 weeks from contract signing to swimming. That includes permit approval, excavation, steel and plumbing installation, concrete application, curing time, finishing work, and startup.
Weather can extend timelines, especially during rainy stretches when we can’t pour concrete or work on finishes. Permit processing in Ocilla typically takes 2-3 weeks, but that varies. Complex designs with custom features or challenging site access can add time as well.
We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Most delays come from factors outside our control—weather, permit offices, equipment delivery—but we manage the process so you’re not left guessing when your pool will be ready.
Cement pools last longer and give you total design freedom. Fiberglass pools come in pre-made shells with fixed shapes and sizes. If your yard is oddly shaped or you want a specific look, fiberglass limits you. Cement lets us build exactly what fits your space and vision.
Durability is the bigger factor. A properly built cement pool can last 50+ years. Fiberglass can crack or fade, especially in South Georgia heat. The gel coat surface on fiberglass pools often needs resurfacing after 10-15 years. Cement pools need replastering eventually too, but the structure itself is far more robust.
Cement also handles ground movement better, which matters in areas with clay soil or shifting water tables. We reinforce cement pools with steel rebar and engineer them for local soil conditions. That’s harder to do with a fiberglass shell that’s manufactured off-site and dropped into a hole.
Georgia law requires a barrier around residential pools to prevent unsupervised access by young children. That usually means a fence at least four feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Some homeowners use their existing yard fence if it meets code. Others install a separate pool fence.
We can include custom pool covers as part of your project. A safety cover adds another layer of protection, especially if you have small kids or pets. It also keeps debris out when the pool isn’t in use, which cuts down on cleaning and chemical costs.
During the design phase, we’ll walk through what’s required by local code and what makes sense for your property. Fencing and covers aren’t optional add-ons—they’re part of responsible pool ownership. We make sure you’re set up correctly from day one so you’re not scrambling to meet requirements after the pool is built.
You’ll need to check and balance water chemistry weekly, clean the skimmer and pump baskets regularly, and brush the walls and floor to prevent algae buildup. South Georgia heat accelerates algae growth, so staying on top of chlorine and pH levels matters more here than in cooler climates.
Plan on professional servicing for your filter and pump system at least once a year. Depending on usage and water quality, you may need to acid wash or replaster the surface every 10-15 years. That’s normal wear, not a sign of poor construction.
We’ll walk you through the basics when we hand over your pool, and we can recommend local service companies if you’d rather outsource weekly maintenance. Most owners handle the routine stuff themselves and call in pros for equipment repairs or seasonal opening and closing.
Yes. We design and build spas, patios, and outdoor living spaces as part of the same project. Integrating a spa into your pool design during construction is far easier and more cost-effective than adding one later. We can create raised spas with spillover features, attached spas at pool level, or standalone spa installations.
Patios and decking around the pool are part of what we do. Whether you want stamped concrete, pavers, or natural stone, we handle that work so everything is coordinated and completed together. You’re not hiring a separate hardscaping contractor and hoping the styles match.
Luxury pool design in Ocilla often includes outdoor kitchens, fire features, and custom lighting as well. We can incorporate those elements into the plan from the start. The more we build together, the more cohesive your backyard looks—and the fewer contractors you have to manage.
