Funston summers are no joke. Heat indices push past 100°F from June through September, and climate data projects the area will see a 185% increase in extreme heat days over the next 30 years. A pool built right means your family actually uses it every week, from late March through October not just on the rare weekend when everything works.
The flat coastal plain soils of Colquitt County shift with moisture. Wet seasons, dry stretches, the cycle repeats every year. That movement is exactly why a concrete pool with engineered drainage, structural rebar, and proper subgrade preparation holds up here where a fiberglass shell can buckle or float. You’re not just buying a pool. You’re buying something that handles what southwest Georgia throws at it year after year.
And when the build is done, you’re not left guessing. We provide ongoing maintenance, free professional water testing, and emergency service when something goes wrong in the middle of July. In a community like Funston, where the nearest big-box pool supply store isn’t exactly around the corner, having a full-service company in your corner makes a real difference.
We were founded in 2014, but the experience behind us goes back more than 30 years in concrete, plumbing, and pool construction across South Georgia. We exist because we watched families throughout this region get burned by contractors who took deposits, cut corners, and disappeared. That’s not a story that ends well in Funston, where word travels fast and trust is earned slowly.
We’re based in Douglas and serve the broader South Georgia region including Colquitt County and the Funston and Moultrie area. We know the soil profiles out here. We know how Colquitt County’s wet-dry cycles affect a pool foundation. We know the permitting process at the City of Funston. That local knowledge isn’t something you can fake, and it’s what separates a pool that holds up from one that starts showing problems in year three.
Every project we undertake is fully licensed and insured in Georgia, built to code, and backed by a company that picks up the phone after the job is done.
It starts with a conversation. We talk through your property, your goals, and what you’re actually trying to build not what fits a catalog. Funston-area properties often have generous lot sizes, especially in developments like Westwoods Subdivision where acreage lots are the norm. That space gives us real design flexibility, and we use it.
From there, we handle the design, pull the necessary permits through the City of Funston’s Planning and Zoning Department, and coordinate every stage of construction. Pool builds in Georgia require inspections at multiple points drainage, electrical bonding, structural work and we manage all of it. You’re not chasing down inspectors or figuring out which forms go where. That’s on us.
Once construction is complete, we walk you through every system equipment operation, chemical balance, maintenance schedule so you’re not starting from scratch on day one. And because we also handle ongoing maintenance, emergency repairs, and free water testing, the relationship doesn’t end at the final inspection. Most of our customers stay with us long after the build because they don’t have to start over finding someone they trust.

We handle the full range custom pool design, inground concrete construction, pool renovation, ongoing maintenance, equipment repair, custom pool covers, and free professional water testing. If your pool was built by someone else and something’s gone wrong, we service all major equipment brands including Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, Sta-Rite, and Zodiac. You don’t need a different company for every problem.
For Funston homeowners, that matters more than it might in a bigger market. The local pool service landscape near Moultrie is made up mostly of maintenance operators and fiberglass or vinyl liner specialists. If you want a custom concrete build the kind engineered for Colquitt County’s soil conditions and built to last 40 or 50 years we’re doing that work in this area when most others aren’t.
Concrete is the only pool material that gets structurally stronger over time. Vinyl liners need replacement every five to ten years. Fiberglass shells have size and shape limitations, and in high-water-table conditions common to southwest Georgia’s coastal plain, they carry real risk. When you’re making an investment of this size relative to your home’s value, the material choice matters and we’ll walk you through exactly why concrete is the right call for your specific property.
Yes, and it’s not optional. Pool construction in Funston requires a building permit before excavation begins. Applications go through the City of Funston’s Planning and Zoning Department, and the project must comply with Georgia’s adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code which covers structural design, engineered drainage, electrical bonding, and safety barrier requirements.
For most residential builds in Colquitt County, you’ll also need to meet setback requirements, which typically place the pool and equipment at least 10 feet from property lines. Inspections happen at multiple stages throughout construction, not just at the end. We manage the permitting process as part of every build, so you’re not navigating city offices and state code requirements on your own. It keeps the project on schedule and makes sure nothing gets missed.
A custom inground concrete pool in the Funston area typically starts in the $50,000 to $80,000 range, depending on size, design complexity, features like spas or water features, and site-specific factors like soil conditions and drainage requirements. Properties in Colquitt County’s flat coastal plain terrain can have unique drainage needs that affect scope, so the final number is always based on your specific site not a generic estimate pulled from a national average.
The honest framing here is total cost of ownership. A concrete pool built correctly is a 40 to 50-year structure. A vinyl liner pool needs liner replacement every five to ten years, which adds up fast. A fiberglass pool may cost less upfront but comes with design limitations and real risk in southwest Georgia’s soil and moisture conditions. When you factor in Funston’s extended seven-to-nine-month swim season and the home value appreciation a well-built pool provides, the long-term math tends to favor concrete by a significant margin.
Concrete, without question and the reasons are specific to this region. Colquitt County sits on southwest Georgia’s coastal plain, where soils are a mix of sandy loam and clay-heavy profiles that shift with moisture. The wet-dry cycle here wet springs, dry stretches in summer and fall, occasional tropical rainfall puts real stress on a pool structure over time. Fiberglass shells can experience buoyancy issues when the water table rises, which happens in this part of Georgia. Vinyl liners crack and fade with the kind of UV exposure and heat that Funston sees for most of the year.
Concrete pools are poured in place, reinforced with structural rebar, and engineered with drainage systems designed for the specific site. They don’t float. They don’t crack from UV exposure. And unlike the other two materials, a properly built concrete pool actually gets stronger as it cures over time. For a Funston homeowner who’s thinking about this as a long-term investment not just a summer purchase concrete is the only material that makes sense.
A custom inground concrete pool typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval to completion, though that timeline can shift depending on weather, inspection scheduling, and the complexity of the design. In Colquitt County, spring and early summer are the busiest build seasons most homeowners in Funston want their pool ready before the heat peaks in June and July, so demand for construction slots fills up fast in the January through April window.
The best time to start the conversation is late fall or early winter, well before you’re hoping to swim. That gives enough lead time for design, permitting, and construction without rushing any stage of the process. Rushing concrete work whether it’s curing time, drainage installation, or equipment setup is how you end up with problems down the road. We don’t cut corners to hit an arbitrary deadline, but planning ahead means you’re not the one waiting while others who started earlier are already in the water.
In most of the country, that question has a complicated answer. In Funston, it’s more straightforward. Colquitt County’s swim season runs roughly seven to nine months from late March through October or November in most years. That’s not a seasonal amenity. That’s a functional part of your home for the majority of the calendar year. Buyers in this market understand that, and a well-built pool on a property reflects accordingly.
Funston’s median home value has nearly tripled since 2000, rising from around $40,700 to approximately $117,530 as of recent estimates. Homeowners here have real equity to work with, and outdoor improvements like pools are increasingly part of how that equity gets deployed. A concrete pool that’s properly maintained doesn’t depreciate the way a worn-out liner or a neglected fiberglass shell does it holds its value because the structure itself holds up. The key word is “well-built.” A pool installed by a contractor who cuts corners on drainage or structural work can become a liability. One built to last becomes an asset.
Yes and for Funston residents, that’s not a minor detail. The pool service options near Moultrie and Colquitt County are limited compared to larger markets. Most local operators focus on basic maintenance or vinyl liner work. When a pump fails in the middle of August, or your water chemistry goes sideways before a family gathering, you need someone who can actually respond not a company that’s booked out two weeks or doesn’t service your equipment brand.
We provide ongoing maintenance, emergency pool service, free professional water testing, and equipment repair across all major brands Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, Sta-Rite, and Zodiac. For homeowners who built with us, the transition from construction to ongoing care is seamless because we already know your system. For homeowners who built with someone else and need reliable service going forward, we work with what’s there. Either way, you’re not starting from scratch every time something needs attention.
