You know how brutal Georgia summers can get. The humidity hits you the moment you step outside, and by noon, your backyard feels like an oven. That’s exactly why smart homeowners in Holt are choosing custom cement pools.
Picture this: It’s 95 degrees outside, but you’re floating in crystal-clear water in your own backyard. No crowded public pools. No driving across town. Just you, your family, and the perfect escape from Georgia’s relentless heat.
Your pool becomes the hub of every gathering. Weekend barbecues where kids splash while adults relax. Evening swims after long workdays. Holiday celebrations that everyone actually wants to attend. Plus, you’re adding serious value to your home – pools typically boost property values by 7% in Georgia.
Deep Waters Pools isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’ve been perfecting pool construction since 2014, but our expertise goes back over 30 years in concrete, plumbing, and custom builds.
What started as one craftsman’s passion has grown into South Georgia’s trusted pool builder. We serve Holt and the surrounding communities with the kind of personal attention you can’t get from the big corporate companies.
Here’s what matters: We know Georgia’s red clay soil. We understand the permitting process. We’ve weathered every challenge this region can throw at a construction project, and we’re still here building beautiful pools for families who want it done right.
First, we come to your property for a free consultation. You’ll discuss your vision, budget, and any concerns about your specific lot. We’ll assess your yard’s unique challenges – Georgia’s clay soil, drainage, access for equipment.
Next comes the design phase. We create a custom plan that works with your space and lifestyle. No cookie-cutter pools here. Every detail gets mapped out, from the shape and depth to safety features and finishing touches.
Then the real work begins. Excavation, plumbing, steel reinforcement, and concrete application. Each step gets completed properly before moving to the next. We handle permits, inspections, and all the technical details you shouldn’t have to worry about. You get regular updates, but you’re not managing a construction project – we are.

Deep Waters specializes in custom inground cement pools – the most durable option for Georgia’s climate and soil conditions. Cement pools last decades when built properly, and they can be shaped to fit any yard or design vision.
We also build custom spas and patios to complete your outdoor living space. Want a hot tub connected to your pool? A stamped concrete deck that complements your home’s architecture? We handle it all as one cohesive project.
Safety is non-negotiable. We install custom pool covers designed specifically for your pool’s dimensions. In Georgia, where pools stay warm enough to use most of the year, proper safety measures protect your family and give you peace of mind. Every pool meets or exceeds state safety requirements, and we’ll walk you through proper maintenance to keep everything running smoothly for years to come.
Most custom cement pools take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on your design complexity and Georgia’s weather patterns. We complete projects efficiently without cutting corners on quality.
The timeline breaks down roughly like this: excavation and plumbing (1-2 weeks), steel and concrete work (2-3 weeks), finishing and equipment installation (2-3 weeks). Weather delays can extend the schedule, especially during Georgia’s rainy season, but we keep you informed every step of the way.
Unlike some contractors who juggle multiple projects simultaneously, we focus on completing your pool properly before moving to the next job. This approach means fewer delays, better quality control, and less disruption to your daily routine.
Georgia’s red clay soil presents unique challenges that cement pools handle better than other materials. Clay expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting pressure on pool structures. Cement pools, when properly reinforced with steel, can withstand this ground movement without cracking or shifting.
Fiberglass pools, while popular elsewhere, can actually flex too much in clay soil, leading to stress fractures. Vinyl liner pools often develop wrinkles or tears when the ground shifts. Cement pools stay solid and maintain their shape for decades.
We have three decades of experience working with Georgia’s soil conditions. We know how to excavate properly, ensure adequate drainage, and reinforce the structure to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at it. That’s why our pools last while others need expensive repairs within a few years.
Pool costs vary significantly based on size, features, and site conditions, but most custom cement pools in the Holt area range from $40,000 to $80,000. We provide transparent pricing with detailed estimates that break down every cost.
Several factors affect your final price: pool size and depth, custom features like spas or waterfalls, site accessibility, soil conditions, and finishing materials. A basic rectangular pool costs less than a freeform design with multiple levels and custom tile work.
The key is getting accurate estimates upfront. We visit your property, assess the specific challenges, and provide written quotes with no hidden fees. We’ve found that being upfront about costs prevent surprises and helps families make informed decisions about their investment.
Yes, Georgia requires building permits for all inground pools over 24 inches deep, and most municipalities have additional requirements for fencing, setbacks, and safety features. We handle all permitting as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and involves submitting detailed construction plans, site surveys, and safety compliance documentation. Local inspectors will visit during construction to verify everything meets code requirements.
Don’t try to navigate this yourself. Permit requirements change frequently, and mistakes can delay your project by weeks or result in expensive modifications. We maintain current relationships with local building departments and know exactly what documentation each jurisdiction requires. We pull the permits, schedule inspections, and ensure everything passes on the first try.
Cement pools require regular but straightforward maintenance to stay crystal clear and safe. In Georgia’s climate, you’ll need weekly water testing and chemical balancing, monthly filter cleaning, and seasonal equipment maintenance.
Daily tasks include skimming leaves and debris (especially important during Georgia’s pollen season) and checking water levels. Weekly tasks involve testing pH and chlorine levels and adding chemicals as needed. Monthly tasks include cleaning the filter system and brushing pool walls to prevent algae buildup.
The good news? Cement pools are easier to maintain than you might think. We provide complete instructions and can recommend reliable local pool service companies if you prefer professional maintenance. Many families find pool care becomes a simple routine that takes 15-20 minutes per week once you establish the habit.
Pool construction in Georgia is possible most of the year, but timing affects both the process and your costs. The best construction months are typically March through November when weather is most predictable.
Winter construction is possible but may face delays from rain, freezing temperatures, or ground conditions. Concrete work requires temperatures above freezing for proper curing, so cold snaps can pause progress. However, starting in winter means your pool is ready for spring and summer enjoyment.
We schedule projects based on optimal construction conditions and your preferences. Starting your project in late winter or early spring often means better contractor availability and completion before peak swimming season. We’ll recommend the best timing based on your specific situation and local weather patterns.
