Your backyard becomes the place your family wants to be. Not just a hole with water, but a space designed around how you’ll actually use it—whether that’s weekend cookouts, teaching kids to swim, or finally having a reason to stay home instead of booking another expensive vacation.
The pool gets finished when we say it will. No ghost contractors, no three-month delays while you stare at a dirt pit. You’ll know the timeline before we break ground, and we stick to it.
You’re working with people who’ve done this for over 30 years. We’ve seen the soil conditions around Bolen, GA. We know what works here and what doesn’t. That means fewer surprises, better construction, and a pool that doesn’t crack or leak two years in because someone cut corners on the foundation.
Deep Waters Pools started because we got tired of watching homeowners get burned by contractors who overpromise and underdeliver. We’re a local pool company in Douglas County, GA, built on hands-on construction experience—concrete work, plumbing, custom builds—not just sales pitches.
We specialize in custom inground cement pools. Not vinyl. Not fiberglass. Cement. It’s more work, takes more skill, but it lasts longer and gives you actual design flexibility.
You’re not dealing with a national franchise or a crew that’s here today and gone tomorrow. We’re local to Bolen, GA and the surrounding areas. We pull permits here. We know the inspectors. And when you call six months after installation because you have a question, we pick up.
It starts with a conversation about what you want and what’s realistic for your property. We walk your yard, talk through design options, and give you a clear price. No vague estimates that balloon later.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle permits and scheduling. Then excavation begins. We dig, set the foundation, and start the shell. This is where experience matters—Georgia soil and climate require specific approaches to avoid settling and cracking down the line.
Plumbing and electrical go in next. We install your filtration system, lighting, and any add-ons like heaters or automation. Then comes concrete finishing, tile work, and coping. Finally, we fill it, balance the chemistry, and walk you through maintenance basics.
You’ll have a timeline before we start. Typical builds take several weeks depending on size and features, but we don’t leave you guessing. And if weather or inspections cause delays, you’ll know immediately—not three weeks later when you finally get someone on the phone.

Every pool we build in Bolen, GA is custom cement construction. That means the shape, depth, and features are designed specifically for your property and how you’ll use it. You’re not picking from three pre-made sizes.
We include the full build: excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing, electrical, concrete shell, tile, coping, and decking. Filtration systems are part of the package, and we’ll talk through options for heaters, automation, lighting, and safety covers during design.
Douglas County has specific soil conditions that affect pool construction. The clay-heavy soil here requires proper compaction and drainage planning. We account for that from day one. It’s not an “unforeseen circumstance” that adds $10,000 to your bill halfway through—it’s part of the plan.
You’ll also get a walkthrough on maintenance and chemistry basics once the pool is finished. We want you to understand how to keep it running, not just hand you a manual and disappear. And if something comes up later, you can reach us. We’re not hard to find.
Most custom cement pools take 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to completion. That timeline depends on size, features, weather, and inspection schedules.
Here’s what affects timing: larger pools with complex shapes take longer. Adding a spa, custom tile work, or extensive decking adds days. Weather delays happen—you can’t pour concrete in a downpour. Permit approvals and inspections are outside our control, but we stay on top of scheduling to avoid unnecessary waiting.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline before starting. If delays happen, you’ll hear from us immediately. The goal is to finish on schedule without rushing the work. A pool built too fast usually means shortcuts. A pool that drags on for months usually means poor planning or a contractor juggling too many jobs. We aim for the middle: steady progress, quality work, and a finish date you can count on.
Cement pools are built on-site and fully customizable. Fiberglass pools are pre-made shells that get dropped into your yard. Vinyl pools use a liner inside a frame.
Cement gives you total design freedom. Any shape, any depth, any feature. It’s more durable long-term and handles Georgia’s soil movement better than vinyl liners, which can tear or wrinkle. Fiberglass is faster to install but limits your options—you’re picking from existing molds, and repairs are harder if the shell cracks.
Cement costs more upfront and takes longer to build. But it lasts. You’re not replacing liners every 7-10 years or dealing with fiberglass gel coat issues. For custom builds in Bolen, GA where soil conditions vary, cement is the smarter long-term investment. It’s what we specialize in because it’s what holds up best.
Custom cement pools typically start around $50,000 and go up depending on size, features, and site conditions. That’s not a bait number—it’s a realistic starting point for a quality build.
Here’s what drives cost: pool size and depth, shape complexity, decking and patio materials, add-ons like spas or waterfalls, automation systems, lighting, and site prep. If your yard has drainage issues, steep slopes, or requires significant grading, that affects the price. Same with access—if we can’t get equipment to your backyard easily, it takes more labor.
We give you a clear price after walking your property and understanding what you want. No vague ranges that turn into surprise charges later. You’ll know what’s included and what’s extra before signing anything. If your budget is $60,000, we’ll tell you what’s possible at that number. If you want features that push it higher, we’ll explain why and let you decide.
Yes. Georgia requires pool contractors to be licensed. It’s not optional, and it protects you from liability and poor workmanship.
A licensed contractor has met state requirements for experience, insurance, and bonding. If something goes wrong—injury, property damage, code violations—you’re covered. Unlicensed contractors might charge less, but you’re taking on all the risk. If they damage your septic system, crack your foundation, or build something that fails inspection, you’re stuck paying to fix it.
We’re a licensed pool contractor in Georgia. We pull proper permits, follow local codes, and carry insurance. That means your project is legal, inspected, and built to standards that protect your investment. It also means if you ever sell your home, the pool won’t become a red flag during inspection because it was built off the books.
You’ll need to balance water chemistry weekly, clean the filter regularly, and brush the walls and floor to prevent algae buildup. It’s not complicated, but it’s consistent.
Water chemistry means testing pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium levels. You adjust as needed using chemicals. Neglect it and you’ll deal with algae, cloudy water, or equipment damage. Filters need cleaning every few weeks depending on usage—backwash or rinse according to your system type. Brushing prevents algae from taking hold on surfaces, especially in shaded areas.
We walk you through all of this when your pool is finished. You’ll understand what to test, how often, and what to do if something’s off. Most owners handle it themselves. If you’d rather not, there are local pool service companies in Douglas County that do weekly maintenance. Either way, cement pools don’t require liner replacements or gel coat repairs like other pool types. The maintenance is about water quality and equipment upkeep, not structural babysitting.
Yes. Drainage and slope issues are common in Bolen, GA and throughout Douglas County. We account for them during design and site prep.
Slope affects excavation costs and may require retaining walls or additional grading. Drainage problems mean we need to plan for water runoff so your pool doesn’t become a collection point for yard water. Both are solvable—they just require upfront planning and sometimes additional site work.
We assess your property before giving you a price. If your yard has challenges, we’ll explain what’s needed to address them and what it costs. This isn’t something we discover halfway through and surprise you with a bill. It’s part of the initial evaluation. Plenty of pools in this area are built on less-than-perfect lots. It just takes experience to do it right.
