From June through September, Leesburg sits in heat that regularly pushes into the low-to-mid 90s with heat index values above 100°F. That’s not a few uncomfortable weeks that’s four months of your family looking for somewhere cool to be. A custom inground pool doesn’t just solve that problem. It makes your backyard the answer.
Families move to Leesburg for the schools, the safety, and the sense of community. They stay for the same reasons. And the homes they’re building in Cypress Cove, Hillridge, and Holly Ridge those lots were made for a backyard that gets used. When the pool is done, the kids stop asking to go somewhere else. The patio becomes where everyone ends up. Summer stops being something to survive and starts being something you actually look forward to.
From a financial standpoint, Lee County home values have been climbing fast Leesburg’s median property value jumped 16.3% in a single year. A professionally built concrete pool adds real, lasting value to that investment. It’s not a luxury you’ll regret. It’s a permanent improvement to a home in a market where permanence is exactly what you’re building toward.
We founded Deep Waters Pools in 2014, but the experience behind it goes back more than three decades. Our team came from the trades concrete, plumbing, structural work before we ever put our name on a company. That matters because there’s no learning curve happening in your backyard.
Leesburg and Southwest Georgia are specific. The soil conditions, the summer rainfall, the way Lee County’s building department operates these aren’t things you figure out from a national playbook. We serve the Albany metro area and know this market the way a builder should: from the ground up, literally.
Every pool we build is concrete. Not because it’s the only option on the market, but because it’s the right one for this region, this climate, and homeowners in Leesburg who are thinking in decades not just the next few summers.
It starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We want to understand your yard, your family, how you plan to use the pool, and what your timeline looks like. From there, you’ll see a 3D rendering of your pool your actual backyard, your actual design before anything is approved or any dirt moves. If you want to change the shape, adjust the depth, or add a spa, that happens on screen, not mid-construction.
Once you approve the design, we handle every step of the permitting process with Lee County’s Building Inspection department. That includes the boundary survey, the site plan, fencing compliance documentation, electrical inspection coordination, and environmental health approvals. Most homeowners have never navigated that process before. You won’t have to figure it out alone.
Construction follows a structured sequence excavation, steel reinforcement, concrete shell, plumbing and electrical, interior finish, decking, and final inspection. Lee County’s wet summers and clay-influenced soils require specific site preparation and drainage planning, and that’s built into the process from day one. When it’s done, your pool comes with a custom safety cover fitted to your pool’s exact dimensions included as standard, not added on at the end.

Every pool we build is custom concrete designed for the specific lot, the specific family, and the specific conditions of Southwest Georgia. That means no factory-formed fiberglass shells that can shift under hydrostatic pressure when Lee County’s summer storms saturate the ground. Concrete becomes part of your property’s permanent structure. It doesn’t float, it doesn’t degrade, and it doesn’t need a liner replacement in seven years.
The full build includes design consultation, 3D renderings, complete permit management through Lee County, excavation, concrete shell construction, plumbing, electrical, interior finish, decking, and a custom-fitted safety cover. There’s no version of this where you get a quote and then discover the safety cover was an add-on. It’s included because it should be.
We also handle commercial pool construction for HOAs, community developments, and multi-unit properties in the Lee County area. With new subdivisions actively being developed across West Lee County, that’s a real and growing need. Whether it’s a residential build in Quail Pines or a community amenity pool for a new development, the process, the material, and the standard don’t change.
Yes all inground pool construction in Georgia requires a building permit, and Lee County enforces this through its Building Inspection department. The permit process involves submitting a detailed site plan that shows your property boundaries, the proposed pool location, setback distances from property lines, and fencing or barrier details that comply with Georgia’s pool enclosure requirements. You’ll also need electrical inspection coordination and sign-off from Georgia’s environmental health division before construction is complete.
This process has real moving parts, and it’s one of the most common sources of delay for homeowners who try to manage it themselves. We handle all of it from the initial boundary survey through final inspection approval. You won’t be calling county offices trying to figure out which form goes where or why your permit is stuck. That’s part of what you’re getting when you build with us.
Concrete inground pools in Georgia typically start around $70,000 and commonly run between $90,000 and $150,000 for a well-featured residential build. The final number depends on pool size and shape, depth configuration, decking material, water features, spa additions, and site-specific factors like soil conditions and grading requirements on your lot.
In the Leesburg market, where home values have been rising steadily and median property value jumped over 16% in a single year, it’s worth framing this as what it actually is a permanent improvement to an appreciating asset. A properly built concrete pool adds 5–7% to home value on average. For a home in the $200,000–$250,000 range, that’s a real return on top of years of daily use. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so the number you see upfront is the number you work from not a starting point that grows after you sign.
It comes down to what holds up in Southwest Georgia’s specific conditions. This region gets approximately 50 inches of rain annually, with heavy summer thunderstorms that can saturate the ground quickly. Fiberglass pools are vulnerable to hydrostatic pressure when the water table rises after a heavy rain event, a fiberglass shell can literally be pushed upward out of the ground. That’s a documented failure mode in high-rainfall environments exactly like Leesburg and Lee County.
Vinyl liner pools come with their own limitations liners typically need replacement every 7–10 years, adding ongoing cost and disruption. Concrete doesn’t have either of those problems. It becomes part of the permanent structure of your property, gets stronger over time, and can be finished and refinished without replacing the shell. In a market where homeowners are making long-term investments and planning to stay, concrete is the material that matches that mindset.
From signed contract to first swim, most custom concrete pool builds take between 10 and 16 weeks, depending on the scope of the project, weather conditions, and how quickly the permitting process moves through Lee County’s Building Inspection department. More complex builds those with spas, water features, custom decking, or significant grading work can run longer.
Timing matters in Leesburg because the usable pool season runs from roughly April through October. Families who want a pool ready for summer need to start the planning and permitting process in late winter January through March is when builders with strong local reputations fill their calendars. If you’re reading this in the spring hoping to swim by July, reach out now and be honest about your timeline. We’ll give you a straight answer about what’s realistic rather than tell you what you want to hear.
Every build includes the full design process consultation, 3D renderings of your actual backyard, and design revisions before anything is approved. From there, we manage all permitting with Lee County, handle excavation, build the concrete shell, install all plumbing and electrical systems, apply the interior finish, complete the decking, and close out the final inspection. A custom safety cover, fitted specifically to your pool’s shape and dimensions, is included with every build as a standard feature.
There are no surprise add-ons after you sign. The safety cover isn’t an upsell. The permit coordination isn’t billed separately. The 3D rendering isn’t a premium tier it’s part of how every project starts. For families in Leesburg who chose this community specifically because of the quality of life it offers, that level of transparency and completeness is what the process should look like from the beginning.
That’s a fair question, and the honest answer is: compare the full picture, not just the price. If you’ve already spoken with another builder in the Leesburg area, look at what’s actually included in each quote whether permitting is handled or handed off to you, whether you’ll see a 3D rendering before construction starts, what material the pool is built from, and whether a safety cover is standard or an add-on.
We build exclusively in concrete, handle all permitting with Lee County’s building department, provide 3D design renderings before a single shovel moves, and include a custom safety cover with every build. If a competing quote is lower, it’s worth understanding why what’s not included, what material is being used, and what the long-term maintenance costs look like. A vinyl liner pool in Leesburg will need that liner replaced within a decade. A concrete pool built correctly won’t. That difference shows up in the total cost of ownership over the years you plan to live in your home.
