You want a pool that your kids will remember. One that doesn’t drain your savings or turn your yard into a construction zone for three months.
Above ground pools give you that. For a fraction of what in-ground pools cost—sometimes $1,500 to $2,000 versus $15,000 to $25,000—you get the same relief from Georgia heat. Same family time. Same backyard memories.
Installation happens fast. Most pools are up and running within a day or two. No weeks of excavation, no constant crew presence, no wondering when you’ll actually get to swim. You’re in the water before the next heatwave hits.
And if you ever move or want to change your yard layout, you’re not stuck. Above ground pools are flexible. They can move with you or adapt when your needs change.
We’ve been building pools in Georgia for over 30 years. We started with custom in-ground concrete pools, learning every detail about what makes a pool last in this climate.
That same expertise goes into every above ground pool we install in Guysie. We know the soil here—the clay that swells when it rains and contracts when it’s dry. We know the permit process and what local inspectors look for. We know which materials hold up and which ones fail after one Georgia summer.
We’re a family-owned business. Every project gets treated like it’s going in our own backyard, because that’s how we’d want it done. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
First, we visit your property in Guysie to assess your yard. We look at the ground, check for drainage issues, and measure the space. This tells us what site prep you’ll need and which pool size works best.
Next comes site preparation. This matters more than most people realize. Georgia’s clay soil moves with moisture, so we level the ground properly and create a stable base. We handle any grading needed to prevent water pooling around your pool.
Then we install the pool itself. The structure goes up, we connect the filtration system, add the liner, and fill it. Most installations finish in one to two days depending on site conditions.
Finally, we walk you through everything. How to maintain your water chemistry, when to run your pump, what to watch for. You’re not left guessing—you know exactly how to keep your pool in great shape.

Your pool comes with everything you need to start swimming. That includes the pool structure, a quality sand filter system, pump, LED lighting, and a maintenance kit. We don’t sell you a pool and leave you to figure out the rest.
Site preparation is part of the job. We level the ground, install our exclusive pad system that protects your liner, and make sure drainage won’t cause problems down the road. In Guysie and throughout Georgia, summer storms dump heavy rain fast. Proper site prep prevents that water from undermining your pool’s foundation.
You also get compliance with Georgia regulations and local permit requirements. We handle the paperwork and inspections. Most municipalities in Georgia require permits before pool installation, and county inspectors visit during and after construction. We know what they’re checking for because we’ve been doing this for decades.
Safety features matter too. Your pool includes options for safety ladders and fencing recommendations. We’ll discuss what makes sense for your family, especially if you have young children or pets.
Most above ground pool installations in Guysie take one to two days from start to finish. That timeline assumes your yard is reasonably level and doesn’t need major site work.
If your yard has significant slope or drainage issues, site preparation might add another day. We level the ground, address any water flow problems, and create a stable base before the pool goes in. Georgia’s clay soil requires proper prep—skip that step and you’ll have problems within a year.
Once the site is ready, the actual pool installation moves quickly. We assemble the structure, install the filtration system, add the liner, and fill the pool. You can usually start swimming the same day we finish, though we recommend letting the water settle and balancing your chemistry first.
Compare that to in-ground pools, which take weeks or months. No extended construction timeline, no constant disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, most municipalities in Georgia require permits for pool installation, and Guysie follows those regulations. The permit process ensures your pool meets safety codes and property setback requirements.
We handle the permit application for you. That includes submitting plans, coordinating with local building departments, and scheduling required inspections. County or city inspectors typically visit during installation and after completion to verify everything meets code.
The permit process usually takes one to two weeks, depending on how busy the local building department is. We factor that into your project timeline so there’s no delay once we’re ready to install.
Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money or time. That’s a mistake. If you sell your house later, unpermitted work can kill a sale or force you to remove the pool entirely. Insurance companies may also deny claims related to unpermitted structures.
You’ll need to check and balance your water chemistry weekly during swimming season. That means testing pH and chlorine levels, then adjusting as needed. Georgia’s heat and humidity affect water chemistry faster than in cooler climates.
Your filter system should run daily, typically six to eight hours. Clean or backwash your filter every few weeks depending on use. Skim debris off the surface daily—Georgia pollen and leaves add up fast, especially in spring and fall.
Algae grows quickly in warm water, so staying on top of chlorine levels matters. If your water turns cloudy or greenish, you’re behind on maintenance. Catching problems early is easier than fixing a pool that’s turned into a swamp.
During winter, you can either winterize your pool or keep it running at reduced hours. Many Georgia homeowners keep their pools open year-round since our winters are mild. We’ll walk you through both options and what makes sense for your situation.
Above ground pools typically cost $1,500 to $2,000 for a basic setup, while in-ground pools start around $15,000 to $25,000 and go up from there. That’s a significant difference, especially for families who want a pool but don’t want to take out a loan.
Your final cost depends on pool size, features you add, and how much site preparation your yard needs. A larger pool with upgraded filtration, better lighting, and extensive site work will cost more than a basic round pool on already-level ground.
Installation costs are also lower. In-ground pools require excavation, concrete or fiberglass installation, plumbing, electrical work, and often landscaping repairs afterward. Above ground installation is simpler and faster, which means lower labor costs.
Maintenance costs favor above ground pools too. Smaller water volume means less money on chemicals. Simpler systems mean fewer expensive repairs. If something does break, parts are visible and accessible—not buried underground where every fix requires digging.
Yes, above ground pools work great in smaller yards. Round pools start as small as 12 feet in diameter, which fits in spaces where an in-ground pool would never work.
You do need to consider setback requirements. Most Georgia municipalities require pools to sit a certain distance from property lines, typically five to ten feet. We measure your yard during the initial visit and tell you exactly what will fit while meeting local codes.
Oval pools give you more swim space in narrow yards. If your yard is long but not wide, an oval pool might be the better choice. We’ll show you options based on your actual space, not just sell you whatever we have in stock.
Access matters too. We need to get the pool materials into your backyard, which usually means a gate or path at least four feet wide. If your yard is completely fenced with no access, we’ll need to discuss options like temporarily removing a fence section.
You can take your above ground pool with you when you move. They’re semi-permanent structures, which means they can be disassembled, transported, and reinstalled at your new property.
Whether that makes sense depends on the pool’s age and condition. If your pool is only a few years old and in good shape, moving it might be worth it. If it’s older or the liner needs replacing soon anyway, buying a new pool at your next house might cost less than moving the old one.
Some homeowners leave the pool as a selling point for their Guysie property. A well-maintained pool can make your home more attractive to buyers with families. Others prefer to take it with them, especially if they’ve invested in upgrades or know they’ll want a pool at the next place.
The flexibility is the point. Unlike an in-ground pool that’s permanent, you’re not locked into one decision. Your circumstances change, your pool can adapt. That’s worth something, especially if you’re not sure this is your forever home.
