You don’t want a pool that looks like every other one on the block. You want something that fits your yard, your family, and the way you actually live.
That’s what custom design means here. We’re not handing you a catalog and asking you to pick a shape. We’re sitting down with you, walking your property, and building something that makes sense for your space and your soil. Georgia’s ground shifts. Clay expands. Sand settles. A concrete pool can handle that when it’s engineered right from the start.
You’ll get a backyard that works for summer weekends, family gatherings, and those evenings when you just want to cool off without leaving home. No templates. No shortcuts. Just a pool built the right way for Winston.
Deep Waters Pools started in 2014, but the experience behind it goes back more than 30 years. We’ve been building custom concrete pools, working with Georgia soil, and navigating local permits long before we opened our doors on Baker Highway.
Winston homeowners deal with specific challenges. Your soil composition isn’t the same as what you’d find an hour north. Your permit requirements are local. Your weather patterns during construction season matter. We know this because we’ve been here, doing this work, for decades.
You’re working with a licensed and insured pool company that understands what it takes to build something that lasts in this area. We handle the permits, the engineering, the construction, and the final inspection. You get a pool that’s built to code and designed for your property.
It starts with a consultation at your property. We look at your yard, talk about what you want, and figure out what’s realistic given your space and soil conditions. You’ll know upfront what the timeline looks like and what to expect.
From there, we handle the permit process. That includes applications, site plans, and making sure everything meets Georgia’s building code and safety requirements. Most residential pools in Georgia require permits before any digging starts, and we take care of that entire process.
Once permits are approved, construction begins. Most custom pool projects take 8 to 12 weeks from permit approval to completion, though weather can affect that timeline. Georgia’s summer storms are real, and we’d rather give you an honest estimate than overpromise.
You’ll see the pool take shape in stages: excavation, steel installation, plumbing and electrical, concrete application, and finishing work. We clean up thoroughly when we’re done and walk you through how to operate and maintain your new pool. You’re not guessing how anything works.

You’re getting more than a hole filled with water. This is a complete backyard transformation that includes custom design, full permitting, concrete pool construction, equipment installation, and finishing touches like patios and decking if that’s part of your plan.
Concrete pools work well in Winston because they can be engineered to handle soil movement and settling. Georgia soil varies from clay to sand, sometimes on the same property. Concrete gives us the flexibility to build a structure that adapts to your specific ground conditions. That’s something fiberglass can’t always do.
Your pool will include proper safety barriers that meet Georgia code requirements. We install the filtration system, heating if you want it, and any additional features like spas or custom lighting. Everything gets inspected and approved before we consider the job done.
The cost for a custom inground pool in Douglas County typically ranges from $35,000 to $65,000 depending on size, features, and what your property requires. We’ll give you a clear estimate after we see your yard and understand what you’re looking for.
Most custom concrete pool projects take 8 to 12 weeks from the day permits are approved to the day you can use your pool. That’s the realistic timeline for Douglas County.
Weather affects this. 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 the rain, and we won’t rush a phase just to meet an arbitrary deadline.
The permit process happens before construction starts and usually takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on how backed up the county is. We handle that entire process, so you’re not dealing with paperwork or making trips to the permit office. Once we have approval, we start digging.
Concrete handles Georgia’s soil conditions better than fiberglass. Your ground moves. Clay expands when it gets wet and contracts when it dries. Sandy soil shifts and settles over time.
Concrete pools can be engineered to handle that movement. We evaluate your specific site conditions during the design phase and build the structure accordingly. Fiberglass pools are pre-formed shells that can crack or shift if the ground beneath them moves unexpectedly.
You also get complete design freedom with concrete. The pool can be any shape, any depth, and fit into spaces where a pre-made fiberglass shell wouldn’t work. If your yard has slopes, tight access, or unusual dimensions, concrete gives us options that fiberglass doesn’t.
All residential swimming pools in Georgia require a building permit before construction starts. That includes your pool, any electrical work, plumbing, and safety barriers like fencing.
We handle the entire permit process for you. That means preparing the application, creating the site plan, and making sure everything meets local code requirements and the International Swimming Pool Code. Douglas County has specific requirements for setbacks, safety barriers, and inspections.
You’ll need a final inspection before the pool is considered complete and legal to use. We coordinate that inspection and make sure everything passes the first time. You don’t have to worry about code compliance or whether something was built correctly.
Custom inground pools in Douglas County typically cost between $35,000 and $65,000. Basic concrete pools start around $33,000, but most homeowners end up in the $40,000 to $55,000 range once they add the features they actually want.
The final cost depends on the size of your pool, your property’s soil conditions, how much site prep is needed, and what equipment and features you choose. A pool with a spa, custom lighting, and heating costs more than a basic rectangular pool with standard filtration.
We give you a detailed estimate after we visit your property and understand what you’re looking for. That estimate includes everything: design, permits, construction, equipment, and finishing work. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start digging.
We don’t offer ongoing maintenance services, but we do train you on how to maintain your pool before we finish the project. You’ll know how to operate your filtration system, balance your water chemistry, and handle routine cleaning.
Most pool maintenance is straightforward once you understand the basics. You’re checking chemical levels, running your filter, and skimming debris. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes a week during pool season.
If you prefer to hire someone for regular maintenance, we can point you toward local pool service companies in Winston and Douglas County. But you’ll have the knowledge to handle it yourself if that’s what you want.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and we only build custom concrete pools. That’s it. No fiberglass. No vinyl liners. Just concrete pools designed specifically for each property.
You’re working with a licensed pool contractor who understands Georgia soil, local permits, and what it takes to build something that lasts in this climate. We’re not a national franchise following a corporate playbook. We’re a local business that’s been serving Douglas County since 2014, built on decades of hands-on experience before that.
We handle every detail from design through final inspection. You’re not coordinating between different contractors for excavation, plumbing, electrical, and finishing work. One team, one point of contact, one company responsible for the entire project.
