Most families don’t just want a pool. You want a place where your kids actually put down their phones. Where summer weekends don’t require a two-hour drive and a crowded public pool. Where you can host without apologizing for your backyard.
Custom gunite pool construction gives you that. It’s not just about adding water to your property. It’s about creating the space your family gravitates toward when the weather’s good and life slows down for a minute.
In Broxton, GA, where summers stretch long and outdoor living matters, a well-built inground pool becomes the center of your home life. You get more use out of your property. Your home value goes up. And you stop wishing you had somewhere better to be on Saturday afternoon.
We’ve been building inground pools across Douglas County and South Georgia for over 30 years. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve worked with enough local building departments to know exactly what Broxton requires for permits and inspections.
We’re not the cheapest option in the area. But we’re the ones who show up when we say we will, finish the job without cutting corners, and build pools that don’t crack two years later because someone skipped the soil prep.
Most of our work comes from referrals. That happens when you do the job right the first time and treat people’s property like it matters.
It starts with a site evaluation. We look at your lot, test the soil, and figure out what’s realistic given your space and budget. Then we design a pool that fits your property, not some template we use for everyone.
Once you approve the design, we handle permits with the local building department. Georgia requires permits for all residential pools, and we know what Douglas County inspectors look for. You don’t have to deal with that paperwork.
Excavation comes next, followed by steel reinforcement and shotcrete application. That’s the backbone of a gunite pool. We’re building something that has to hold thousands of gallons of water in Georgia soil, so this step matters more than most people realize.
After the shell cures, we install plumbing, electrical, filtration, and finish work. Then we fill it, balance the water chemistry, and walk you through everything you need to know about maintenance. Most projects take 8 to 12 weeks depending on weather and complexity.

Every project includes full design consultation, permit handling, excavation, steel installation, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, filtration systems, and finish work. You’re not coordinating five different contractors. We manage it all.
We also install energy-efficient equipment that keeps your operating costs down. Georgia’s warm climate means you’ll use your pool more months out of the year than most of the country, so efficiency matters.
In Broxton, GA, soil conditions vary. Some areas have clay. Some have sand. Some have rock close to the surface. Concrete pools handle that variability better than vinyl or fiberglass because we’re building the structure on-site to match your specific ground conditions.
You also get safety barrier installation that meets Georgia code requirements. That’s not optional. It’s part of doing the job legally and protecting your family and anyone else who might wander into your yard.
Most inground pool installations take between 8 and 12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you can swim. That timeline depends on a few things: the complexity of your design, weather delays, and how quickly permits get approved.
Georgia’s summer storm season can push timelines back a week or two. We can’t pour concrete in the rain, and we won’t rush curing time just to meet a deadline. That’s how pools crack.
Permit approval usually takes one to three weeks in Douglas County, depending on how busy the building department is. We submit everything and handle any follow-up, so you’re not waiting on paperwork you don’t understand.
Gunite pools are built on-site, which means we can adapt the structure to your specific soil conditions. In Broxton, GA, you might have clay that expands when wet, sandy soil that shifts, or rock that requires extra excavation. Gunite handles all of that because we’re forming the pool to fit the ground, not dropping in a pre-made shell.
Vinyl liners can tear. Fiberglass shells can crack if the ground shifts. Gunite is reinforced concrete applied over steel rebar. It’s the most durable option for areas where soil moves with weather changes.
We also control the thickness and reinforcement based on what your property needs. That’s not possible with prefab options. You’re getting a pool engineered for your lot, not a one-size-fits-all product.
Yes. Georgia requires permits for all residential inground pools, and Douglas County enforces that. You’ll need a building permit, an electrical permit, and sometimes a separate permit for the safety barrier depending on your property.
We handle all of that. We know what the local building department requires, and we’ve worked with their inspectors enough times to avoid the common mistakes that delay approval.
Skipping permits isn’t worth it. If you ever sell your home, an unpermitted pool becomes a liability. Buyers will either walk away or demand you bring it up to code, which costs more than doing it right the first time. Insurance companies also won’t cover unpermitted structures if something goes wrong.
Most custom gunite pools in the Broxton, GA area start around $50,000 and go up from there depending on size, features, and site conditions. If your lot requires significant excavation, has difficult access, or needs extra drainage work, that adds to the cost.
Features like waterfalls, built-in spas, custom lighting, and high-end finishes also increase the price. But those are choices you make based on what matters to you, not requirements.
We give you a detailed estimate after the site evaluation so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises halfway through the project. If something unexpected comes up during excavation, we talk to you before we proceed. You’re not getting a bill for work you didn’t approve.
Gunite and shotcrete are both methods of applying concrete, and they’re often used interchangeably in the pool industry. The main difference is when the water gets added. Gunite mixes dry ingredients and adds water at the nozzle. Shotcrete mixes everything before it’s sprayed.
Both create strong, durable pools when applied correctly. What matters more is the skill of the crew doing the work and the quality of the steel reinforcement underneath.
Some contractors prefer one method over the other based on their equipment and experience. We use shotcrete because it gives us better control over the mix consistency, which matters in Georgia’s heat and humidity. Either way, you’re getting a concrete pool that’s built to last decades if it’s done right.
Georgia’s warm weather means you’ll use your pool longer than homeowners up north, but it also means algae grows faster and chemicals deplete quicker. You’ll need to test your water at least twice a week during summer and adjust chlorine, pH, and alkalinity as needed.
Your filtration system should run 8 to 10 hours a day during peak season. Clean the skimmer baskets weekly and backwash the filter when pressure builds up. If you see cloudy water or algae starting, address it immediately. It’s easier to prevent a problem than fix one after it spreads.
We install energy-efficient pumps and filtration systems that keep operating costs reasonable. After we finish your pool, we walk you through the maintenance routine and show you exactly what to check and when. Most owners handle it themselves, but you can also hire a pool service if you’d rather not deal with the chemistry.
