Your backyard becomes the place your family actually wants to be. No more packing up for the community pool or dealing with crowds when it’s 95 degrees in July.
You get a custom inground cement pool designed for your property and your lifestyle. Not a cookie-cutter shape dropped into your yard, but something that fits the way you live. The kind of pool that makes your neighbors ask who built it.
And you get peace of mind knowing it was built by licensed pool contractors in Georgia who understand local soil conditions, permit requirements, and what it takes to build something that lasts through South Georgia summers. The project gets finished on schedule, you know exactly what you’re paying, and when we’re done, you’re swimming—not waiting on callbacks that never come.
Deep Waters Pools has been building custom inground pools in Douglas County since 2014. We’re a family-owned pool company with over 30 years of combined experience in concrete, plumbing, and custom construction.
We’re not the biggest operation in South Georgia, and we’re not trying to be. What we are is local, licensed, insured, and fully focused on doing the work the right way. That means handling permits, managing timelines, and keeping you in the loop from site evaluation to the day you dive in.
We’ve seen too many Ambrose and Douglas County families get burned by contractors who overpromise and disappear halfway through. That’s not how we operate. Every pool we build gets the same attention we’d give our own backyard—because your investment deserves that level of care.
We start with a site evaluation at your property in Ambrose. We look at your yard, talk about what you want, and figure out what’s actually possible given your space, soil conditions, and budget. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a real conversation about what makes sense.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the design and all the permit paperwork. Georgia requires building permits for residential pools, and there are specific safety barrier requirements we need to meet. We take care of that so you don’t have to chase down county offices or figure out code compliance on your own.
Then we break ground. Most projects take 8 to 12 weeks depending on weather and permit processing times. Summer storm season in Georgia can cause delays, but we keep you updated throughout the process so you’re never wondering what’s happening. We manage the excavation, concrete work, plumbing, and finishing details from start to finish.
When the job’s done, your pool is ready to use. We walk you through how everything works, make sure you understand your equipment, and hand over a finished project you can enjoy the same day.

You get a complete custom inground cement pool designed specifically for your property. Concrete gives you unlimited design options and holds up better than other materials in Georgia’s climate. It’s the most durable choice, and it’s what we specialize in.
Every pool includes proper safety barriers that meet Georgia code requirements. We also offer custom-fitted safety covers for maximum protection, especially if you have young kids or pets. Safety isn’t optional—it’s built into every project from day one.
We handle everything: site evaluation, custom design, all permits, excavation, concrete installation, plumbing, and finishing work. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors or figuring out who’s responsible for what. One company, one point of contact, one finished pool.
And because we’re local to Douglas County, we understand what works here. We know the soil conditions, the permit process, and how to build pools that stand up to South Georgia heat and humidity. You’re not getting a generic approach—you’re getting a pool built for Ambrose, GA, by people who’ve been doing this work here for years.
Most custom inground pool projects take between 8 and 12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you’re swimming. That timeline can shift depending on a few things we can’t always control—mainly weather and how fast permits get processed through the county.
Georgia’s summer storm season can cause delays, especially if we get heavy rain during excavation or concrete work. We can’t pour concrete in certain conditions, and we won’t cut corners just to stay on schedule. Permit processing times vary too, depending on how busy the county is and whether any issues come up during review.
What we can control is communication. If something’s going to push the timeline, you’ll know about it. We don’t leave you guessing or wondering why work stopped. We keep you updated throughout the project so you always know where things stand and what’s happening next.
Yes. All residential pools in Georgia require a building permit, and Douglas County has specific requirements you need to meet before construction can start. That includes safety barriers like fencing, and there are rules about height, gate placement, and how the barriers need to be installed.
It sounds complicated, but that’s why we handle it. We pull the permits, submit the plans, and make sure everything meets county code before we start digging. You don’t need to figure out what forms to fill out or which office to visit—we take care of that part of the process.
Permit processing times can vary depending on how backed up the county is, but it’s a required step we build into every project timeline. Skipping permits or trying to build without proper approval creates major problems down the road, especially if you ever sell your home. We do it right from the start so you don’t have headaches later.
Concrete gives you more design flexibility than any other material. You’re not limited to pre-made shapes or sizes—you can build exactly what fits your yard and your vision. Want a custom depth, a built-in bench, or a unique shape that works with your landscaping? Concrete makes that possible.
It’s also the most durable option for Georgia’s climate. Concrete pools hold up better in heat and humidity, and they last longer than vinyl or fiberglass when they’re built correctly. You’re looking at a 50-year lifespan if the pool is maintained properly, compared to 10 to 15 years before you’re replacing a vinyl liner.
Concrete is the premium choice, and it’s what we specialize in. We’ve been working with concrete for over 30 years, so we know how to mix it, pour it, and finish it the right way for South Georgia conditions. It costs more upfront than other materials, but you’re investing in something that’s built to last and designed exactly how you want it.
We’re local, we’re licensed, and we finish what we start. That sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many pool companies in South Georgia can’t say the same thing. We’ve heard too many stories from Douglas County families who got burned by contractors who disappeared halfway through a job or added surprise costs after the contract was signed.
We don’t operate that way. You get clear pricing upfront, a realistic timeline, and regular updates throughout the project. No surprises, no runarounds, no excuses. We handle the permits, manage the construction, and stay on site until the job is done and you’re satisfied.
We’re also a family-owned business that’s been building pools in this area since 2014, with over 30 years of combined experience in concrete and custom construction. We’re not a national franchise or a contractor who does pools on the side. This is what we do, and we’ve built our reputation on doing it right. When you call, you’re talking to the people who’ll actually be building your pool—not a sales team or a call center.
Custom inground concrete pools typically start around $50,000 and go up from there depending on size, features, and site conditions. That’s a wide range, but every project is different. Your yard, your design choices, and what you want included all affect the final price.
Things that increase cost include larger pool sizes, custom shapes, added features like built-in benches or tanning ledges, upgraded finishes, and complicated site work. If your property has difficult access, challenging soil conditions, or requires extra excavation, that adds to the labor and equipment costs too.
We give you a clear estimate upfront after we evaluate your property and talk through what you want. No hidden fees, no surprise charges halfway through the project. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start, and that number doesn’t change unless you decide to add something we didn’t originally plan for. If you want a straight answer about what your specific project will cost, the best thing to do is call us and set up a site evaluation.
Concrete pools need regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and occasional resurfacing, but the day-to-day maintenance isn’t complicated. You’ll need to skim debris, vacuum the pool, check chemical levels, and run your filtration system—same basic tasks as any other pool type.
The difference with concrete is the surface. Concrete is porous, so it requires more frequent brushing to prevent algae buildup compared to fiberglass or vinyl. You’ll also need to resurface the pool every 10 to 15 years depending on wear and how well you maintain the water chemistry. That’s a bigger maintenance item, but it’s planned and predictable—not an emergency repair.
We walk you through everything when the pool is finished. You’ll know how to operate your equipment, what chemicals to use, and what kind of maintenance schedule to follow. If you’d rather not handle it yourself, there are local pool service companies in Douglas County that can take care of weekly maintenance for you. Either way, you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s required before you ever fill the pool.
