You’ve been thinking about this for a while. Summer in Wilsonville gets hot, and you’re tired of packing the car to find a place to cool off. You want your kids playing in your backyard, not begging to go somewhere else every weekend.
A custom inground pool changes how your family spends time at home. It’s where your kids learn to swim, where you unwind after work, and where everyone gathers without needing a reason. You’re not just adding a pool—you’re creating the space your home has been missing.
The right pool fits your property. It accounts for Georgia’s soil, weather, and how your yard drains. It’s built to last through summer storms and clay-heavy ground, and it’s designed around what you actually need—not what someone’s trying to upsell you on.
Deep Waters Pools was built on over 30 years of hands-on pool construction. We’re a licensed and insured pool contractor serving Wilsonville, GA and the surrounding Douglas County area since 2014. We specialize in custom inground cement pools, and we’ve been doing this long enough to know what works in Georgia yards and what doesn’t.
Wilsonville homeowners deal with specific challenges—clay soil that shifts, summer storms that delay timelines, and permit requirements that vary by county. We’ve handled all of it. We know how to build pools that hold up in this climate, and we know how to navigate the local permit process without surprises.
You’re not hiring a crew that just showed up last year. You’re working with people who’ve built hundreds of pools and understand what it takes to do it right in this area.
First, we come to your property. We look at your yard, talk about what you want, and figure out what’s realistic given your space, budget, and timeline. We’re not there to pressure you—we’re there to listen and give you honest feedback about what works.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the design and permits. Georgia requires building permits for all residential pools, and we take care of that process. We also coordinate site evaluation, excavation, electrical, plumbing, and filtration. You don’t need to manage multiple contractors—we handle it.
Construction typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from permit approval to completion. That timeline depends on your pool’s complexity, weather conditions, and how quickly permits move through the county. We keep you updated throughout the process so you know what’s happening and when.
When the pool’s finished, we walk you through everything. You’ll know how your filtration system works, how to maintain water chemistry, and what to watch for. We don’t hand you the keys and disappear—we make sure you’re comfortable operating everything before we’re done.

Every pool we build is custom. That means it’s designed specifically for your property and how your family will use it. Some families want lap pools for fitness. Others need shallow areas for young kids or attached spas for year-round use. We design around what matters to you.
We handle everything from start to finish: site evaluation, custom design, permits, excavation, concrete work, plumbing, electrical, filtration, and safety barriers that meet Georgia code. You’re not coordinating different contractors or chasing down permits yourself. We manage the entire project.
Wilsonville’s soil and weather require specific construction techniques. Georgia clay can shift, and summer storms can cause delays. We account for those conditions in every pool we build. That means proper drainage, reinforced concrete, and construction methods that hold up long-term in this climate.
We also include thorough cleanup and complete training on your new pool system. When we’re finished, your backyard is ready to use—not a construction zone you need to fix yourself.
Most custom inground pools take 8 to 12 weeks from permit approval to completion. That timeline can shift based on a few factors: the complexity of your design, how quickly permits move through Douglas County, and weather conditions during construction.
Georgia’s summer storm season can cause delays, especially if we’re dealing with heavy rain during excavation or concrete work. We can’t control the weather, but we plan for it. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Permit processing also affects the schedule. Georgia requires building permits for all residential pools, and the approval timeline varies depending on the county’s workload. We handle the permit process for you, but it’s worth knowing that this step can add a few weeks before construction even starts.
A custom pool is designed specifically for your property, your family, and how you’ll actually use it. Standard pools come in pre-set shapes and sizes. Custom pools are built around your yard’s layout, your budget, and what you need—whether that’s a shallow play area for kids, a lap lane for fitness, or an attached spa.
Custom also means accounting for your property’s unique conditions. Wilsonville yards deal with Georgia clay, varying drainage, and specific grading challenges. A custom design addresses those factors so your pool works with your land, not against it.
You also get more control over features. Want a specific depth? A particular finish? Built-in seating or a sun shelf? With a custom pool, those decisions are yours. You’re not picking from a catalog—you’re building something that fits your vision and your space.
Yes. Georgia requires building permits for all residential pools, and Wilsonville is no exception. The permit process ensures your pool meets local building codes, safety requirements, and zoning regulations. It’s not optional, and skipping it can lead to fines or issues when you try to sell your home.
We handle the permit process for you. That includes submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and making sure everything meets Georgia’s International Swimming Pool Code requirements. You don’t need to navigate county offices or figure out what paperwork is required—we take care of it.
Permit approval timelines vary depending on the county’s workload and how quickly they process applications. It’s usually a few weeks, but it can take longer during busy seasons. We factor that into your project timeline so you know what to expect from the start.
You’ll need to maintain water chemistry, clean the filtration system, and keep debris out of the pool. Water chemistry means testing pH and chlorine levels regularly and adjusting them as needed. Balanced water prevents algae growth, protects your pool’s finish, and keeps the water safe for swimming.
Your filtration system needs regular cleaning. Depending on the type of filter you have, that might mean backwashing, rinsing cartridges, or cleaning out debris. We’ll show you how to do this when your pool is finished, and we’ll explain how often it needs to be done based on your system.
You’ll also need to skim leaves and debris, brush the walls and floor, and vacuum when necessary. How often depends on your surroundings—if you have trees nearby, you’ll be skimming more often. Most pool owners spend a few hours a week on maintenance, but it becomes routine once you know what you’re doing.
Most yards in Wilsonville can accommodate an inground pool, but there are a few factors we need to evaluate first. We look at your property’s size, grading, drainage, and soil conditions. Georgia clay is common in this area, and it requires specific construction techniques to ensure the pool stays stable long-term.
We also check for underground utilities, septic systems, and easements that might affect where the pool can go. Setback requirements vary by county, so we need to confirm your pool’s placement meets local zoning regulations. All of this happens during the initial site evaluation.
If your yard has significant slope or drainage issues, we can usually work around it—but it might affect the design or cost. We’ll tell you upfront if there’s a problem and what it would take to address it. The goal is to figure out what’s possible before you commit to anything.
Cement pools are fully custom. They’re built on-site, which means you control the shape, size, depth, and features. If you want something specific—like an irregular shape that fits your yard or a particular depth for diving—cement gives you that flexibility. Fiberglass pools come in pre-made shells with limited size and shape options.
Cement pools also last longer in Georgia’s climate. They handle soil movement better than fiberglass, which can crack or shift if the ground settles unevenly. Georgia clay is notorious for shifting, especially after heavy rain, and cement construction accounts for that.
The tradeoff is time. Cement pools take longer to build because they’re constructed on-site. Fiberglass pools can be installed faster since the shell is pre-made. But if you want a pool that’s truly custom and built to last in Wilsonville’s soil and weather conditions, cement is the better choice.
