You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for someone who won’t cut corners, won’t disappear halfway through, and won’t leave you with a pool that sags or leaks two summers in.
When your above ground pool is installed by people who actually know construction, you get level ground that won’t shift. You get plumbing and electrical done to code the first time. You get a setup that handles Georgia heat, summer storms, and years of kids jumping in and out without falling apart.
Most importantly, you get to stop researching and start swimming. No surprise costs. No delays because someone didn’t pull the right permit. Just a finished pool that works the way it’s supposed to, installed by a team that’s been doing this for over 30 years.
We started Deep Waters Pools because too many families in Douglas County were getting burned by contractors who overpromised and disappeared. We’re a family-owned pool builder with more than three decades of hands-on experience in concrete, plumbing, and construction.
We’re not the biggest name you’ll find. We’re the ones who show up when we say we will, do the work the right way, and treat your property like it’s ours. That’s not a tagline—it’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.
If you live in Hannah or anywhere in Douglas County, you know how hard it is to find someone reliable. We handle the permits, the site prep, the installation, and the cleanup. You get one team, clear communication, and no excuses.
First, we come out to look at your yard. We’re checking for ground level, drainage, access, and any potential issues that could cause problems later. If your site needs grading or prep work, we tell you upfront—not three days into the job.
Next, we handle the permits. Georgia has specific requirements for pool barriers, and Douglas County has its own process. We take care of that so you don’t have to figure out what forms to file or who to call.
Then we prep the site. That means proper grading, a solid base, and making sure water drains away from your pool—not toward your house. This step matters more than most people realize, and it’s where a lot of installers cut corners.
After that, we install the pool itself. We’re talking about the structure, the liner, the filtration system, and any add-ons you’ve chosen. Everything gets plumbed and wired correctly, inspected, and tested before we call it done. Once it’s finished, we walk you through how everything works, answer your questions, and clean up the site. Then it’s yours to enjoy.

You’re getting a full site evaluation before we start. We’re not guessing whether your yard will work—we’re making sure it will. That includes checking soil conditions, measuring for level ground, and planning for drainage so you don’t end up with standing water or a lopsided pool.
You’re also getting someone who handles the permits and knows Georgia’s safety codes. That means a proper barrier that meets the 48-inch requirement, gates that self-close and latch, and electrical work that passes inspection. It’s not optional, and it’s not something you want to skip.
The installation itself covers everything: ground prep, pool setup, plumbing, electrical, filtration, and any features you’ve chosen like LED lighting or saltwater systems. We’re also cleaning up when we’re done—no piles of dirt left in your driveway or tarps sitting in your yard for weeks.
And because this is Hannah, where summer starts early and runs long, we make sure your pool is ready to use as soon as possible. You’re not waiting around for someone to come back and “finish up.” When we say it’s done, it’s done.
Most above ground pool installations in Hannah run between $3,000 and $6,000 depending on size, features, and how much site prep your yard needs. If your ground is already level and accessible, you’re on the lower end. If we need to grade, add drainage, or work around tight access, it goes up.
That price typically includes the pool itself, installation labor, basic filtration, and getting everything up to code. It doesn’t include add-ons like upgraded lighting, heaters, saltwater systems, or decking—those are separate and depend on what you want.
The reason the range is wide is because every yard is different. We don’t give you a number over the phone and then change it later. We come out, look at your property, and give you a real estimate based on what your project actually needs.
If your site is ready and permits are in hand, most above ground pool installations take between three and five days. That’s from the day we start ground prep to the day you can fill it up and start using it.
The timeline can stretch if we’re waiting on permits, dealing with weather delays, or doing significant grading work. If your yard has drainage issues or needs more than basic leveling, add a few extra days for site prep before the pool goes in.
We don’t rush it. Doing it fast doesn’t help you if the base isn’t level or the plumbing leaks. We’d rather take an extra day and do it right than hand you a finished pool that causes problems six months later.
Yes. Georgia requires permits for most pool installations, and Douglas County enforces specific safety regulations. You’ll need a barrier that’s at least 48 inches high, gates that self-close and latch, and electrical work that meets code.
Some homeowners think above ground pools don’t need permits because they’re not permanent structures. That’s not true here. If you skip the permit and something happens—someone gets hurt, or the county finds out during a property inspection—you’re looking at fines and potentially having to remove the pool.
We handle the permit process as part of the installation. We know what Douglas County requires, we know who to talk to, and we make sure everything passes inspection the first time. You don’t have to figure it out yourself or worry about whether it’s done right.
A well-installed above ground pool in Georgia typically lasts between 7 and 15 years. The range depends on the materials you choose, how well you maintain it, and how much sun and weather exposure it gets.
Steel and resin pools hold up better in Georgia heat than cheaper aluminum options. The liner usually needs replacing every 5 to 7 years depending on use and sun damage. If you keep the water balanced, clean the filter regularly, and cover it during the off-season, you’ll get more years out of it.
The installation quality matters just as much as the pool itself. If the base isn’t level or drainage is poor, you’ll have problems early. That’s why we take site prep seriously—it’s the difference between a pool that lasts a decade and one that starts sagging or leaking after two summers.
Yes, and that’s one of the main reasons families in Hannah choose above ground pools. You don’t need a massive yard or perfect terrain. Most above ground pools fit in spaces as small as 12 by 24 feet, and we can work around trees, slopes, and tight access areas.
The key is making sure there’s enough clearance for the pool itself, the filtration equipment, and safe access around the perimeter. We also need to account for drainage so water doesn’t pool against your house or flood your neighbor’s yard when it rains.
During the site evaluation, we’ll measure your space, check for obstacles, and tell you what size and shape will work best. If your yard is tight, we’ll find a solution that fits—or we’ll be honest if it won’t work. Either way, you’ll know before we start.
Big box stores subcontract the installation to whoever’s available. You’re not getting the same crew twice, and you’re not getting someone with 30 years of construction experience. You’re getting the cheapest bid, and it shows in the quality.
We do the work ourselves. Same team, same standards, every time. We’re not just dropping a pool in your yard and leaving. We’re grading the site, handling drainage, running electrical and plumbing to code, and making sure it passes inspection.
The other difference is what happens after we’re done. If something goes wrong with a big box install, you’re calling a 1-800 number and waiting for someone to maybe show up. If something goes wrong with ours, you call us directly. We’re local, we’re accountable, and we’re not going anywhere.
