Living near the Baytree Road corridor in Lowndes County, you already know what summer feels like here. It’s not a few hot weeks it’s months of real heat with humidity that makes it worse. A properly built inground pool doesn’t just give you somewhere to cool off. It gives your family a reason to stay home, and it adds lasting value to a property in a market where permanent improvements matter.
Concrete pools hold up differently in South Georgia than fiberglass alternatives do. The soil conditions and rainfall patterns in this region flat terrain, high annual rainfall, a water table that shifts with the seasons create real stress on a pool structure over time. A concrete pool built with an engineered steel framework is designed for exactly that. It doesn’t flex, float, or fail when the ground gets saturated after a heavy rain. That’s a critical distinction when you’re investing $70,000 or more in something that’s supposed to last 30 years.
And because Remerton’s pool season runs from late March through November without any heating system, you’re getting 7 to 8 months of real use out of this. Add a spa, and it’s year-round. That’s the kind of return that makes a concrete pool one of the most practical decisions a Lowndes County homeowner can make.
We founded Deep Waters Pools in 2014, but the experience behind every build goes back more than 30 years. Our team came out of concrete work, plumbing, and pool construction not sales, not franchising. That background is the reason every pool we build is engineered specifically for the conditions it’s going into, not built from a catalog template dropped into whatever backyard shows up next.
We serve Remerton and the broader Lowndes County area, including homeowners near Valdosta, military families stationed at Moody Air Force Base, and anyone in the region who wants a permanent structure done right the first time. We handle every permit from the boundary survey through environmental health approval because in a dual-jurisdiction area like Remerton, where both city and county offices can be involved, that’s not something you want to figure out on your own mid-project.
Every pool we build comes with a custom-fitted safety cover included. Not as an add-on. Not at the end when the bill is already climbing. It’s part of what a complete build looks like.
It starts with a design conversation. Before anything else, we talk through how your family actually uses a backyard whether that’s lap swimming, a shallow end for young kids, a spa for year-round use, or a patio setup for entertaining. From there, we put together a 3D rendering of your pool so you can see exactly what you’re getting before a single shovel breaks ground. No surprises at excavation.
Once the design is locked in, permitting starts. In Remerton and the surrounding Lowndes County area, pool construction requires coordination with local building authorities, environmental health, and sometimes both city and county offices depending on the parcel. We manage all of it. You don’t chase down inspectors or wonder what’s holding things up that’s handled.
Excavation and construction follow the approved plans. The steel framework is engineered for South Georgia’s soil and water table conditions, not built to a generic spec. Concrete is placed, plumbing and electrical are run, and the pool is finished to your spec coping, tile, patio, whatever’s included in your build. Final inspections are completed, the safety cover is fitted, and you get a walkthrough of everything before our crew leaves. Most residential builds in this area take 8 to 16 weeks from contract to completion, depending on permit timelines and project scope.

Every pool we build is concrete full stop. That’s not a limitation, it’s a deliberate choice based on what actually performs in South Georgia’s environment. Concrete pools are fully custom in shape, depth, and finish. They don’t come in preset sizes that may or may not fit your yard. And unlike fiberglass shells, they don’t carry the risk of shifting or floating when Lowndes County gets the kind of sustained rainfall that pushes the water table up. In this region, that matters more than the lower upfront cost some fiberglass builders will quote you.
The full service we offer includes custom design with 3D renderings, complete permit handling from boundary survey to final approval, excavation, engineered steel framework, concrete placement, plumbing, electrical, coping, and patio work. Spa construction is available as part of the build. We also offer weekly maintenance plans after construction, so your pool stays balanced and ready without taking over your weekends during the long Lowndes County swim season.
If you’re a military family near Moody AFB thinking about resale value, a concrete pool adds 5 to 7 percent to your home’s value on average a permanent improvement that transfers with the property. Pricing for a custom inground concrete pool in this area typically ranges from $70,000 to $200,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Every quote we provide reflects the complete project no scope creep, no change orders added after signing.
Yes any inground pool deeper than 24 inches requires a building permit in Georgia, and Remerton is no exception. What makes permitting here a little more involved than in some other areas is Remerton’s status as an incorporated city completely surrounded by Valdosta. Depending on the specific parcel, pool construction in or near Remerton may require coordination with both Remerton’s city offices and Lowndes County’s building and environmental health departments. That’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s not something you want to navigate on your own mid-project either.
We handle all of it from the initial boundary survey through environmental health approval and final inspection sign-off. Georgia follows the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as its baseline standard, and local enforcement adds its own layer on top of that. Skipping permits isn’t just risky during construction it creates serious problems when you sell the home or file an insurance claim. Getting it done right from the start protects you on both ends.
South Georgia’s combination of flat terrain, high annual rainfall, and a water table that shifts seasonally creates real structural stress on an inground pool over time. Fiberglass pools which are essentially large shells dropped into an excavated hole are vulnerable to what’s called hydrostatic uplift, which is when rising groundwater pushes up against the bottom of the shell with enough force to cause it to shift, crack, or in extreme cases, partially float out of the ground. This is a documented failure mode, not a hypothetical one, and it’s more likely in high-rainfall, flat-terrain environments like Lowndes County than in areas with better natural drainage.
Concrete pools built with an engineered reinforced steel framework don’t have that problem. The structure is tied into the ground rather than sitting in it, and it gets stronger over time as the concrete cures. That’s why we build exclusively in concrete not because it’s the cheaper option (it isn’t), but because it’s the one that holds up in this specific environment for decades without the structural risks that come with the alternatives.
For most residential builds in the Lowndes County area, you’re looking at 8 to 16 weeks from signed contract to final inspection. The range exists because permitting timelines can vary and in Remerton, where both city and county offices may be involved depending on the parcel, that process can take a few weeks on its own. Design, excavation, steel work, concrete placement, plumbing, electrical, and finishing all follow in sequence, and each phase has to pass inspection before the next one starts.
The best way to shorten the overall timeline is to start early. Homeowners in Lowndes County who want to be swimming by Memorial Day typically need to be in contract by late winter January or February at the latest. Builders with strong local demand book out months in advance, and the permitting clock doesn’t start until the contract is signed and the application is submitted. If your goal is a specific date, that’s the first thing to talk through in the design conversation.
For a custom inground concrete pool in the Remerton and Lowndes County area, you’re generally looking at a range of $70,000 to $200,000 depending on size, shape, depth, features, and site conditions. A straightforward rectangular pool with a patio sits toward the lower end of that range. A fully custom design with a spa, water features, and an expanded patio area moves toward the higher end. Site conditions including soil type, lot access, and drainage requirements can also affect the final number.
What matters as much as the number itself is what’s included in it. We quote the complete project: design, permits, excavation, steel, concrete, plumbing, electrical, coping, patio, and the custom safety cover. The number you agree to is the number you pay. If you’ve gotten quotes from other pool companies in the Valdosta market and noticed a wide spread, the first question worth asking is what’s actually included in each one because a lower headline number with a long list of exclusions often ends up costing more.
Remerton sits in one of the southernmost points in Georgia, about 20 miles from the Florida state line. That proximity to the Florida climate means your pool season is genuinely long most homeowners in this area are swimming comfortably from late March through October or November without any heating system. That’s 7 to 8 months of usable water under normal conditions, which is significantly longer than what you’d get in middle or north Georgia.
If you add a spa or a heated pool system, you’re looking at year-round use. Lowndes County winters are mild enough that full winterization the kind required in colder climates typically isn’t necessary. You still need to manage water chemistry and protect your equipment during cooler months, but you’re not draining the pool and covering it for five months like homeowners in Atlanta might. For a family living in this climate, a well-built inground pool is one of the most-used spaces on the property for most of the year.
A properly built inground concrete pool adds an average of 5 to 7 percent to a home’s value and in a climate like Lowndes County’s, where the pool season runs most of the year, buyers tend to see it as a genuine asset rather than a maintenance liability. In markets where pools sit unused for half the year, the value equation is murkier. In South Georgia, where the heat starts early and stays late, a pool is something the next buyer is actively looking for.
This is especially relevant for military families stationed at Moody Air Force Base who are thinking about resale before their next PCS move. A permanent concrete pool isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade it’s a fixed improvement that transfers with the property and holds its value better than almost any other backyard addition. The key is that it has to be built correctly, permitted properly, and maintained well. A pool with unpermitted work or deferred maintenance creates complications at closing. One that’s been done right from the start is a straightforward line item in the home’s favor.
