You’re not just getting a hole filled with water. You’re getting a backyard that changes how your family spends time at home.
Summer weekends stop revolving around finding something to do. Your kids have friends over more often. You host dinners that end with everyone still in the pool at sunset. The space you barely used becomes the reason people want to come over.
That only happens when the pool is built to last and designed around how you’ll actually use it. Concrete gives you the shape, depth, and features you want without compromise. It’s engineered for Georgia’s red clay and temperature swings, so you’re not dealing with cracks, shifts, or repairs three years in.
You end up with something functional and beautiful that fits your property. Not a cookie-cutter shape dropped into your yard, but a custom design that makes sense for how your family lives. And when it’s done, it’s ready to use, not a project you’re still managing.
We’ve been building inground cement pools in and around Mora since before most pool companies in the area existed. That’s three decades of working with Georgia soil, handling local permits, and learning what holds up and what doesn’t.
You’re working with a family-owned business that still treats every project like it’s going in our own backyard. No high-pressure sales. No disappearing after the contract is signed. Just experienced crews who know how to build pools that last and homeowners who can actually reach someone when they have a question.
Mora families choose us because the work speaks for itself. You can drive by pools we built fifteen years ago that still look right. That doesn’t happen by accident.
It starts with a site evaluation at your property in Mora. We look at your yard’s slope, soil conditions, drainage, and access. That tells us what’s possible and what challenges we’re working with before you spend a dime.
Then comes design. You tell us how you’ll use the pool, what features matter, and what your budget looks like. We draw up a custom plan that fits your property and handle the permitting process with Douglas County so you don’t have to chase down approvals.
Once permits clear, excavation begins. We bring in equipment that can handle Georgia clay and dig to exact specifications. Then the steel framework goes in, followed by the shotcrete application that forms the pool shell. Plumbing, electrical, and filtration systems get installed. Decking and finishing work come next.
The final step is startup and training. We walk you through how everything works, how to maintain it, and what to watch for. You’re not left guessing. By the time we’re done, your pool is ready to use and you know exactly how to take care of it.
Ready to get started?
You get complete project management from design through final cleanup. That means site evaluation, custom pool design, all permit applications and approvals, professional excavation, steel reinforcement installation, gunite or shotcrete application, plumbing and electrical system installation, energy-efficient filtration equipment, and your choice of interior finish.
We also handle the deck and patio work so everything’s coordinated. No juggling multiple contractors or trying to match timelines. One crew, one schedule, one point of contact.
In Mora and throughout Douglas County, you’re dealing with red clay soil that shifts and settles. Concrete pools can be engineered to handle that movement without cracking. We’ve been building on this soil long enough to know how to prep the site, reinforce the structure, and ensure your pool stays stable for decades. That’s not something every pool contractor around here can say.
You also get training on your equipment and maintenance requirements before we leave. Most problems homeowners run into come from not understanding how their system works. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
Plan on eight to twelve weeks from the day we break ground to the day you’re swimming. That timeline assumes normal weather and no permit delays.
The actual construction happens in phases. Excavation takes a few days depending on your yard’s access and soil conditions. Steel installation and shotcrete application happen next, followed by a curing period. Plumbing, electrical, and equipment installation take another week or two. Decking, coping, and finishing work come last.
Weather impacts everything. Heavy rain delays excavation and concrete work. Permitting can add time on the front end if Douglas County is backed up, though we handle that process and stay on top of it. Most projects in Mora stay within that eight to twelve week window, but we’ll give you a specific timeline based on your design and site conditions during the planning phase.
Most custom inground cement pools in the Mora area run between $50,000 and $100,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Smaller, simpler designs start around $50,000. Larger pools with custom shapes, built-in spas, water features, or complex decking push toward the higher end.
Your specific cost depends on what you’re building. A basic rectangular pool with standard finishes costs less than a freeform design with a tanning ledge, bubblers, and travertine decking. Site challenges like steep slopes, limited access, or poor soil conditions add to the price because they require more prep work and specialized equipment.
Financing is available if you don’t want to pay the full amount upfront. Most homeowners in Douglas County finance their pool and pay it off over five to ten years. We can walk you through options during the design phase so you know exactly what you’re looking at before committing.
Concrete gives you unlimited design flexibility and holds up better in Georgia’s soil conditions. Fiberglass pools come in pre-made shells with fixed shapes and sizes. If your yard has an unusual layout or you want specific features, concrete is the only way to get what you want.
Georgia’s red clay expands and contracts with moisture and temperature changes. Concrete pools are engineered and reinforced to handle that movement. Fiberglass shells can flex or crack when the ground shifts. We’ve seen it happen, especially in areas around Mora where the soil composition varies.
Concrete also lasts longer. Fiberglass gel coats fade and need resurfacing. Concrete pools can be refinished with new plaster or aggregate finishes that look brand new. The structure itself, if built correctly, outlasts fiberglass by decades. You’re making a long-term investment either way, but concrete gives you more durability and more options both now and down the road.
Yes. Douglas County requires permits for inground pool construction, and you’ll need approvals from planning and zoning, environmental health, and sometimes environmental management depending on your property.
Permit costs typically run $200 to $500 total. The process involves submitting site plans, engineering documents, and safety barrier plans. Most applications take two to four weeks to get approved if everything’s submitted correctly.
We handle the entire permit process for you. That includes preparing the required documents, submitting applications, coordinating inspections, and making sure everything meets county code. You don’t have to visit any offices or chase down approvals. We’ve been doing this in Douglas County for thirty years, so we know exactly what the county wants to see and how to get permits approved without delays.
You’ll need to test and balance your water chemistry weekly, clean the pool regularly, and maintain your filtration equipment. It’s not complicated, but it does require consistency.
Water chemistry means keeping your pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels in the right range. Test strips or a basic test kit tell you where you’re at. You add chemicals as needed to keep everything balanced. Unbalanced water damages your pool’s finish and makes the water unsafe or uncomfortable to swim in.
Cleaning involves skimming debris, brushing the walls and floor, and vacuuming. How often depends on how much you use the pool and what’s around it. Trees drop leaves. Wind blows in dirt. You stay ahead of it with regular maintenance. Your filtration system does most of the work, but you need to clean or backwash the filter and check the pump and equipment periodically.
We train you on all of this before we leave. Most homeowners handle it themselves. If you’d rather not, there are pool service companies in the Douglas area that handle weekly maintenance. Either way, you’ll know what needs to be done and how to do it.
Yes. Sloped yards require more site prep and engineering, but concrete pools can be built on slopes that would rule out other pool types.
The process involves cutting into the slope to create a level area for the pool, then using retaining walls or tiered decking to manage the grade change. That adds cost because of the extra excavation, structural work, and materials. But it also creates opportunities for elevated decking, infinity edges, or multi-level designs that look incredible and take advantage of the natural topography.
We evaluate your property during the site visit and tell you exactly what’s required. Some slopes are minor and only need basic grading. Steeper slopes need engineered retaining walls and more complex drainage solutions. We’ve built pools on all kinds of terrain around Mora and Douglas County. If your yard has a slope, we’ll figure out how to make it work and what that means for your budget and timeline.
