From May through October, Ty Ty gets hot. Not “kind of warm” hot we’re talking 90-degree July afternoons with humidity that makes every evening feel like you’re standing in a steam room. When you have a pool in your backyard, that stops being a misery and starts being a reason to stay home. Your kids stop asking to go somewhere else. You stop dreading the weekend heat. The yard you’ve been maintaining for years finally earns its keep.
Tift County properties tend to have real space larger lots, room to work with, land that doesn’t box you in. That means your pool doesn’t have to be a cookie-cutter shape squeezed into a corner. It can be designed around how you actually live, how your yard drains, and what your property’s layout allows. A concrete pool built with engineered drainage handles Tift County’s agricultural soil profile far better than fiberglass or vinyl alternatives both of which can shift, pop, or degrade faster in Georgia’s ground conditions.
And because this region’s swimming season runs nearly twice as long as the national average, the return on a well-built pool here is genuinely better than almost anywhere else in the country. You’re not paying for something you’ll use three months a year. You’re investing in seven to nine months of real, daily use right here in Ty Ty and the surrounding Tift County area, in one of South Georgia’s most hardworking communities.
We were founded in 2014, but the knowledge behind us goes back more than three decades. Our principals spent 30-plus years in concrete, plumbing, and pool construction across South Georgia before ever hanging a sign which means we’ve worked in the same Tift County soil conditions, through the same long Georgia summers, that you’re dealing with right now.
This isn’t a franchise with a local address. We’re a family-owned operation that built our reputation the slow way by finishing what we started, being straight with people about cost and timeline, and treating every project like it was going in our own backyard. Many of our best customers came to us after a frustrating experience with someone else. That’s not a coincidence. It’s the reason we exist.
Serving Ty Ty and the surrounding Tift County area, we understand what it means to work in a community where reputation is everything. You don’t get second chances in a town this size and we haven’t needed one.
It starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We’ll walk through your property, look at your yard’s layout and drainage characteristics, and give you an honest picture of what’s possible including what a concrete pool will cost and how long the build will realistically take. No lowball number to get in the door. No inflated invoice at the finish line.
Once the design is finalized, we pull permits through Tift County’s building department before a single shovel breaks ground. Georgia requires permits for any in-ground pool, along with code-compliant electrical bonding, engineered drainage systems, and safety barriers that meet state standards. We handle all of that we know the local permitting process, build to Georgia’s minimum standard codes, and don’t cut corners on the structural work that protects your investment for decades. If your property sits near lower-lying areas around Ty Ty Creek or has the kind of varied soil drainage common to Tift County farmland, that gets factored into the site preparation from day one.
Construction moves in a clear sequence: excavation, drainage engineering, concrete shell, plumbing, electrical bonding, decking, and final equipment installation. When it’s done, you get a walkthrough of everything how your system runs, what maintenance looks like, and who to call if something comes up. The goal is a pool you understand, not just one you own.

We build custom concrete pools, but the relationship doesn’t end when construction does. We offer ongoing pool maintenance, emergency pool service, professional water testing, and equipment repair and replacement covering all major brands including Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, Sta-Rite, and Zodiac. Whether your system was installed by us or someone else, we can work on it.
For Ty Ty homeowners who already have a pool, full-service pool care means you’re not scrambling when something breaks in July. A pump failure in the middle of a Tift County summer isn’t a minor inconvenience it’s a problem that needs solving the same day. We offer emergency pool service for exactly that situation, because waiting a week for a service call when it’s 92 degrees outside isn’t an option.
Free professional water testing is available for any customer who wants to know exactly what their pool needs not a rough guess, but a precise chemical read that tells you what to add, what to skip, and what’s actually keeping your water safe. For pool renovation work, we bring the same concrete expertise to existing pools that need structural updates, surface restoration, or equipment overhauls. If your pool is aging and starting to show it, a renovation is often a fraction of the cost of a full replacement and with the right work, it can add years of reliable use back to a pool that still has good bones.
Yes and it’s not optional. In Tift County, any in-ground pool requires a building permit issued through the county’s building department before construction begins. Georgia state code also requires that every residential pool have a compliant safety barrier surrounding the pool area, with specific requirements for gate hardware, height, and gap spacing designed to prevent unsupervised child access. On top of that, in-ground pools require code-compliant electrical bonding and, depending on your site, engineered drainage systems to handle Georgia’s varied soil conditions.
If your property is near a low-lying area say, anywhere close to Ty Ty Creek or other drainage corridors common in Tift County’s agricultural landscape there may be additional site-specific considerations related to flood hazard zones. We handle the permitting process and build to code on every project, so you’re not left figuring out the regulatory side on your own. A contractor who skips permits isn’t saving you money. They’re putting your property and your investment at risk.
Concrete is the most durable option for South Georgia’s ground conditions and there’s a practical reason for that. Tift County’s soil profile includes sandy loams and areas of red clay with varying drainage characteristics shaped by generations of agricultural use. Fiberglass pools can pop out of the ground when water tables shift or soil moves, which is a documented issue in Georgia. Vinyl liner pools hold up reasonably well structurally, but the liners themselves need replacement every five to ten years and in a climate with Ty Ty’s heat and humidity, that degradation can happen faster than the manufacturer’s estimates suggest.
Concrete pools are different. They’re built in place, reinforced structurally, and engineered to work with the specific drainage conditions of your site. A properly built concrete pool actually gets stronger as it cures over time. Combined with the fact that Tift County’s long swimming season roughly seven to nine months per year puts pools under more continuous use than most of the country, choosing the most durable material from the start is the decision that makes the most financial sense over a 30-to-50-year lifespan.
The honest answer is that it depends on the size, shape, depth, and site conditions of your specific property but a custom concrete inground pool in this region typically starts in the range of $50,000 to $80,000 or more depending on scope, features, and what your yard requires in terms of drainage and site preparation. That’s a real number, not a teaser price designed to get you on the phone and then climb from there.
For Ty Ty homeowners evaluating whether that investment makes sense, it helps to think about total cost over time. A concrete pool built correctly can last 50-plus years. A vinyl liner pool will need liner replacements every five to ten years at $3,000 to $10,000 per replacement. A fiberglass pool averages 25 to 30 years before major structural issues become likely. When you factor in Tift County’s long swimming season more months of use per year than most of the country the cost-per-use math on a concrete pool is genuinely favorable. We provide honest, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re committing to.
January through April is the ideal planning and construction window if you want your pool ready before Tift County’s heat peaks in June and July. The permitting process, site preparation, and concrete construction take time typically several weeks to a few months depending on project scope and scheduling so the families who start conversations in late winter are the ones swimming by Memorial Day. Waiting until May to start the process usually means your pool is finished in the middle of summer at best, or you’re looking at a fall completion date.
The good news is that Ty Ty’s climate means even a late-summer or early-fall completion still gives you a full season of use before the water cools down. The swimming season here runs well into October. But if you have kids at home and you’re imagining a summer with a finished pool in the backyard, the earlier you start planning, the better your odds of making that happen on schedule.
Full-service pool care covers the ongoing work that keeps your pool safe, clean, and running efficiently throughout the season which in Ty Ty means nearly year-round. That includes regular water chemistry testing and balancing, equipment inspection and maintenance, cleaning and circulation checks, and addressing any issues before they become expensive problems. We also offer free professional water testing so you get a precise chemical read rather than a ballpark guess.
For equipment service specifically, we work on all major brands Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, Sta-Rite, and Zodiac which means if you already have a pool with existing equipment, you don’t need to replace perfectly functional hardware just to get a service company willing to work on it. Emergency pool service is also available for urgent situations like pump failures, green water events, or chemical imbalances that can’t wait for a scheduled visit. In a region where the pool season is as long as it is in Tift County, having a reliable service contact isn’t a luxury it’s basic maintenance planning.
This is one of the most important questions you can ask before signing anything and the answer should be easy to verify. In Georgia, pool contractors are required to hold a valid license through the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. You can look up any contractor’s license status through the Georgia Secretary of State’s licensing portal. If a company can’t give you a license number or gets evasive when you ask, that’s a clear signal to walk away.
Insurance matters just as much. A contractor working on your Tift County property without general liability coverage leaves you exposed if something goes wrong during construction damage to your yard, a neighboring property, or an on-site injury. We’re licensed and insured in Georgia, and we’ll tell you that directly without hesitation. In a small community like Ty Ty, working with someone whose credentials are documented and verifiable isn’t overcautious. It’s just smart.
