South Georgia summers don’t ease up. From May through October sometimes longer the heat in Broxton is real, and a backyard pool stops being a luxury pretty fast. When you have a pool that was built correctly, on your property, for your family, it changes how you use your own home. That’s the outcome worth talking about.
Concrete pools are permanent. The structure doesn’t need to be replaced every ten years like a vinyl liner, and it isn’t limited to whatever pre-molded shape a fiberglass manufacturer happened to produce. Your yard in Coffee County is yours the lot, the layout, the size. A custom concrete pool is designed around all of that, not the other way around. And because South Georgia’s Coastal Plain soil drains differently than the clay-heavy ground in central Georgia, the engineering behind a properly built pool here matters more than most people realize. Get it right, and you’re looking at thirty-plus years of reliable use. Get it wrong, and you’re dealing with drainage issues, structural cracks, and a contractor who’s long gone.
For a family in Broxton that’s been in the same home for years maybe decades this is a long-term investment in the property you’ve already built your life around. The swim season here is long enough to justify it. The lot sizes common in this area give you the room for it. The only thing left is finding someone who knows what they’re doing and will still answer the phone after the project is finished.
We founded Deep Waters Pools in Douglas, GA in 2014 but we didn’t start learning the trade in 2014. We came in with over thirty years of hands-on experience in concrete construction, plumbing, and custom pool building across South Georgia. That’s not a number on a website. That’s knowing what the Coastal Plain soil under a Coffee County property will do under pressure, knowing how South Georgia’s rainfall patterns affect drainage design, and knowing how to build a pool that doesn’t become someone else’s problem five years later.
We started this company because too many families in the Broxton area were getting burned. Contractors who overpromised, underdelivered, and disappeared. Deep Waters was built as the straight alternative clear timelines, written contracts, no hidden costs, and a finished product that’s actually finished when we leave. That means full site cleanup, complete system training, and a pool that’s ready to use, not a yard that looks like a construction zone.
We’re nine miles south of Broxton on US 441 in Douglas. That’s not a regional territory that’s your neighbor.
It starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We come out to your property, look at the actual site conditions lot size, soil, drainage, access for equipment and talk through what’s realistic for your space and your goals. Rural properties around Broxton often have more flexibility in pool placement than suburban lots do, but they also come with more variation in site prep. We account for all of that before anything gets signed.
From there, we handle the permit process entirely. Pool construction in Georgia requires permits, and any contractor who suggests skipping that step is creating a legal liability for you, not saving you time. We pull the permits, manage the inspections, and keep you informed at every stage. Broxton falls under Coffee County’s building framework, and we know that process well it’s not new territory for us.
Once construction begins, you’ll know what’s happening and when. We give you a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic one designed to close the sale. Concrete pools take longer to build than fiberglass typically ten to twelve weeks depending on scope and conditions but the result is a structure built specifically for your property that will outlast the alternatives by decades. When the job is done, we don’t hand you a manual and leave. We walk you through every system so you know exactly how to operate and maintain your pool before we pull off the property.

We build custom inground concrete pools that’s the core of what we do. We don’t build fiberglass or vinyl liner pools, and that’s intentional. Concrete gives you complete design freedom: the shape, size, and depth are determined by your property and your preferences, not a product catalog. Every pool we build includes a custom safety cover as a standard part of the project, not an add-on. With families and grandchildren using these pools across Coffee County, that’s not optional.
Beyond new construction, we handle the full range of pool services that homeowners in this area actually need. Pool renovation and remodeling for pools that have been sitting unused or are showing their age. Tile and coping repair, resurfacing, liner replacement, and equipment upgrades for pools that were built years ago and need attention. Pump and filter repair and replacement, chemical balancing, and free professional water testing for homeowners who want to stay on top of maintenance without guessing. Spa construction and patio work for the families who want the full outdoor setup.
Pools built in Coffee County during the 1980s and 1990s are now at the age where they need real attention not a patch job, but a proper renovation from someone who understands what they’re looking at. If you’ve got an aging pool on your Broxton property and you’re not sure whether to repair it or replace it, that’s exactly the kind of conversation we’re set up to have.
There’s no pool company based inside Broxton itself it’s a small town, and that’s just the reality of the market. But we at Deep Waters Pools are based in Douglas, nine miles south of Broxton on US 441. That’s the same road Broxton residents drive every time they head to the county seat for errands, appointments, or anything else. We’re not a regional franchise covering a broad territory from a distant city we’re a Coffee County business that serves Coffee County families, and Broxton is squarely within our service area.
When you hire a contractor from two hours away, you take on real risk: slower response times, less accountability, and a crew that doesn’t know the local soil, permit process, or building conditions. We’ve been building pools in this area long enough to know what South Georgia’s Coastal Plain ground does under a concrete structure, and we’re close enough to show up when something needs attention during the build or years after.
In Georgia, a custom inground concrete pool typically runs between $60,000 and $100,000 or more depending on size, design complexity, site conditions, and what’s included spa, patio, safety cover, and so on. That range is real, and any contractor who gives you a firm number before seeing your property and understanding your goals isn’t being straight with you.
For Broxton homeowners specifically, it’s worth understanding what you’re comparing. A concrete pool costs more upfront than vinyl liner, but vinyl liner pools require a full liner replacement every eight to twelve years that’s a recurring cost that adds up fast. Fiberglass pools are limited to pre-manufactured shapes and sizes, which may or may not fit your lot. Concrete is a one-time structural investment designed specifically for your property. Over thirty-plus years of use, the math tends to favor concrete especially in South Georgia where the swim season runs nearly eight months out of the year and you’re getting real, consistent use out of the investment.
A custom concrete pool typically takes ten to twelve weeks from the start of construction to completion, though that timeline can vary based on scope, weather, and site conditions. This is longer than a fiberglass installation, which is essentially a pre-made shell dropped into an excavated hole but the trade-off is a pool designed specifically for your property rather than whatever shape was available.
In Coffee County, the permitting process adds time before construction even begins. We handle all of that pulling permits, scheduling inspections, managing the regulatory side so you don’t have to chase anyone. South Georgia’s rainy season can occasionally affect scheduling, particularly during heavy rainfall stretches that impact excavation and concrete work. We build realistic timelines that account for local conditions, not optimistic ones designed to get you to sign. If you’re hoping to have your pool ready for summer, the best time to start the conversation is late fall or early winter January at the latest if you want a Memorial Day target.
Each pool type has trade-offs, and the honest answer depends on what matters most to you. Fiberglass pools install faster and have lower long-term maintenance costs, but you’re limited to pre-molded shapes and sizes if the shape doesn’t fit your yard, that’s your problem. Vinyl liner pools are the least expensive upfront, but the liner itself needs full replacement every eight to twelve years, which is a significant recurring expense.
Concrete pools cost more upfront and require more ongoing maintenance routine acid washing, occasional resurfacing but they’re structurally permanent, completely custom in shape and size, and built to last thirty-plus years when done correctly. For properties in and around Broxton, where lot sizes tend to give you real flexibility in pool placement and design, the ability to build exactly what you want in exactly the right spot is a meaningful advantage. South Georgia’s Coastal Plain soil also responds well to properly engineered concrete construction when the drainage design is handled correctly which is something a contractor with decades of experience in this specific region will get right.
Yes inground pool construction in Georgia requires permits, full stop. Any contractor who tells you otherwise, or suggests you can skip the permit to save time or money, is creating a serious legal problem for you as the homeowner. An unpermitted pool can complicate your homeowner’s insurance, create issues when you sell the property, and leave you liable if something goes wrong structurally.
Broxton falls under Coffee County’s building and permit framework, and we handle the entire permit and inspection process for every project we build. We pull the permits, schedule the required inspections, and manage the regulatory side from start to finish. You don’t have to figure out who to call or what forms to submit that’s part of what you’re hiring us for. When your pool is complete, it’s fully permitted, fully inspected, and fully documented. That matters more than most people think until the moment they need it.
Renovation and repair are a real part of what we do not an afterthought. Pools built in Coffee County during the 1980s and 1990s are now at the age where they need serious attention: resurfacing, tile and coping repair, equipment replacement, or in some cases a full renovation to bring them back to functional condition. If you’ve got a pool on your Broxton property that’s been sitting unused, leaking, or just showing its age, the first step is figuring out what it actually needs not assuming the worst or the best.
We offer free professional water testing and can assess the condition of an existing pool to give you a straight answer about whether repair, renovation, or replacement makes more sense for your situation. Sometimes a pump replacement and a chemical reset is all it takes. Sometimes the shell needs resurfacing and the equipment needs a full overhaul. We’ll tell you what we see and what it will cost, without steering you toward the most expensive option if it isn’t warranted. For Broxton homeowners who’ve been sitting on a neglected pool, that honest assessment is usually the most valuable thing we can offer.
