Douglas Pool Builders

Three Decades of Georgia Pool Expertise

We’ve been turning Fairplay backyards into private retreats since 2014, built on over 30 years of hands-on pool construction experience. We’re the local guys who understand exactly what it takes to build a pool that lasts in Georgia’s challenging soil conditions.

While other contractors come and go, we’ve stayed put in Douglas County because this is home. We know the terrain, the permitting process, and the local suppliers who deliver quality materials on time.

Most of our work comes from neighbors recommending us to neighbors. That’s how we’ve grown—one satisfied customer at a time, never cutting corners, always delivering what we promise.

Pool Installation Process

From Concept to First Swim

First, we come to your property and assess your yard, soil conditions, and access points. No cookie-cutter approaches here—every Fairplay property is different, and your pool design should reflect that.

Next comes excavation, where our experience with Georgia’s notorious red clay really shows. We bring the right equipment and know exactly how to handle the challenging soil conditions that trip up less experienced contractors.

Then we build your custom cement pool structure, install all plumbing and electrical systems, and add your chosen finishes. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and on schedule. When we’re done, you get a pool that’s built to last decades, not just look good for the first season.

How much does pool construction cost in Fairplay, GA?

Pool construction costs in Fairplay typically range from $35,000 to $65,000 for a quality inground cement pool, depending on size, features, and site conditions. The final price depends heavily on your specific property—factors like soil conditions, access for equipment, and any existing landscaping that needs to be worked around.

We provide detailed, written estimates that break down every aspect of your project so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Unlike some contractors who hit you with surprise charges later, our pricing is transparent from day one.

Georgia’s red clay soil can add complexity to excavation, but our experience means we can accurately estimate these costs upfront rather than discovering problems halfway through your project.

Most custom inground cement pools in Fairplay take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, weather permitting. Georgia’s climate actually works in our favor most of the year, but we do have to plan around our rainy seasons and the occasional cold snap.

The timeline starts with excavation and site prep, which can take a few extra days in our red clay soil. Then comes the structural work, plumbing, and electrical—this is where having experienced local contractors really matters because we know the local inspection requirements and can keep things moving smoothly.

We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. No surprises, no endless delays—just steady progress toward your first swim.

Custom inground cement pools are ideal for Georgia’s challenging soil conditions, especially here in Fairplay where we deal with red clay and varying terrain. Cement pools can be engineered to handle soil movement and provide the structural integrity needed for long-term durability.

The key is proper excavation and foundation work—something we’ve perfected over three decades of building pools in Georgia. We know how to reinforce areas where the soil is unstable and how to create proper drainage to prevent future problems.

Fiberglass pools can work in some situations, but cement gives us the flexibility to customize the design for your specific site conditions and create a pool that will last for decades without structural issues.

Yes, Douglas County requires permits for pool construction, and we handle all the permitting paperwork as part of our service. The process includes building permits, electrical permits, and sometimes septic setback requirements depending on your property layout.

As local contractors, we know exactly what Douglas County inspectors are looking for and how to navigate the approval process efficiently. We submit all required plans, schedule inspections, and make sure everything meets local codes before we start digging.

This is one of the advantages of working with experienced local pool builders—we’ve built relationships with county officials and know how to keep your project moving through the approval process without delays.

We’re the local guys with over 30 years of hands-on experience building pools specifically in Georgia’s challenging conditions. While other contractors might be great in different climates, we’ve spent decades perfecting our approach to red clay soil, local permitting, and weather challenges unique to our area.

Most of our business comes from referrals—neighbors recommending us to neighbors. That only happens when you consistently deliver quality work and stand behind what you build. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the one you can count on to be here next year if you need service.

We also focus exclusively on custom cement pools rather than trying to be everything to everyone. This specialization means we’ve perfected our craft and can deliver results that generic pool companies simply can’t match.

Georgia’s climate allows for pool construction most of the year, though we do adjust our schedule around weather patterns. Spring through fall are ideal construction seasons, while winter work depends on specific weather conditions and project requirements.

The advantage of starting your pool project in fall or winter is that you’ll be ready for swimming season when the weather warms up. We can handle most of the structural work even in cooler months, though some finishing work is weather-dependent.

We’ll work with you to find the best timing for your project based on your schedule and local weather patterns. Our goal is to have your pool ready when you want to use it, whether that’s for next summer’s pool parties or year-round enjoyment.
