You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard retreat where your family creates memories for decades to come.
Our custom inground cement pools become the centerpiece of your outdoor living space. Summer barbecues turn into poolside gatherings. Kids trade video games for cannonball contests. Adults find their stress melting away after long workdays.
Every pool we build increases your property value while giving you something priceless: a place where your family actually wants to spend time together. No crowded public pools, no driving across town, no wondering if the water’s clean. Just your own private oasis, built to last.
Deep Waters Pools isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’ve been building pools in South Georgia since 2014, backed by over 30 years of hands-on construction experience.
Before starting our company, we spent decades mastering concrete work, plumbing, and custom pool construction. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what homeowners really need from their pool builder.
Our reputation in Lax and surrounding communities comes from one simple principle: treat every pool like it’s going in our own backyard. That means honest pricing, quality materials, and craftsmanship that stands up to Georgia’s climate year after year.
First, we sit down and really listen. What does your family need? How do you want to use the space? What’s your realistic budget? No high-pressure sales tactics, just honest conversation about making your vision work.
Next comes design and permits. We handle all the paperwork headaches – building permits, inspections, safety compliance. You shouldn’t have to become an expert in Georgia pool regulations just to get a pool built.
Then we break ground. Our experienced crews excavate, install plumbing and electrical, pour concrete, and finish your pool with attention to every detail. We keep you updated throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when.
Finally, we walk you through everything – equipment operation, maintenance basics, safety features. Your pool is ready for years of family enjoyment.

Every Deep Waters pool includes custom design tailored to your property and preferences. We specialize in inground cement pools because they offer the durability and customization options Georgia families deserve.
Our service includes all necessary permits and inspections required in Lax and surrounding areas. Georgia has specific requirements for pool safety barriers, electrical work, and structural integrity – we handle every detail to keep you compliant and safe.
We also provide custom pool covers designed specifically for your pool’s dimensions. Safety is paramount when you have children or pets, and a properly fitted cover gives you peace of mind while extending your pool’s life.
Each project includes complete equipment installation – pumps, filters, heaters, and any additional features you choose. We don’t just dig a hole and walk away. You get a fully functional pool system ready for immediate enjoyment.
Pool construction costs in Georgia typically range from $60,000 to $200,000 depending on size, features, and complexity. Our inground cement pools start around $70,000 for basic installations.
The final price depends on your specific requirements – pool size, depth, custom features, site conditions, and any additional elements like spas or special lighting. We provide detailed, written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Unlike some contractors, we don’t hit you with surprise charges or change orders. Our estimates include permits, excavation, concrete work, plumbing, electrical, equipment, and startup. You get a complete, functional pool for the price we quote.
Most pool construction projects take 8-16 weeks from permit approval to completion. The timeline depends on weather, site conditions, and any custom features you choose.
We start with permit applications, which can take 2-8 weeks depending on your local municipality’s process. Once permits are approved, actual construction typically takes 6-12 weeks for standard installations.
Weather plays a big role in Georgia. Heavy rains can delay excavation and concrete work. We build realistic timelines into our schedules and keep you informed of any delays. Our goal is managing expectations honestly rather than making promises we can’t keep.
Georgia requires building permits for any pool deeper than 24 inches, including both inground and above-ground installations. You’ll also need electrical permits for pool equipment and lighting.
Safety barrier permits are mandatory – Georgia law requires fencing or barriers around residential pools. The barriers must be at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates.
If your property has a septic system, you’ll need approval from Environmental Health to ensure the pool location doesn’t interfere with your septic field. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Absolutely. Georgia’s red clay soil requires specialized knowledge and equipment, which we have from 30+ years of local construction experience.
Red clay can be challenging – it’s hard when dry, sticky when wet, and requires proper drainage to prevent future problems. We use appropriate excavation techniques and equipment designed for clay soil conditions.
Our crews understand how Georgia clay behaves in different weather conditions. We plan excavation timing carefully and use proper soil stabilization techniques to ensure your pool shell remains stable for decades. This local expertise is why we can build pools that last while other contractors struggle with soil-related issues.
Every Deep Waters pool includes safety features that meet or exceed Georgia requirements. We install proper electrical grounding, GFCI protection, and emergency shut-offs for all pool equipment.
Our custom pool covers are designed specifically for your pool’s exact dimensions and shape. These covers provide child safety, debris protection, and help maintain water temperature. They’re not aftermarket additions – they’re engineered for your specific installation.
We also ensure all barrier requirements are met during construction. This includes proper fencing height, gate mechanisms, and any required alarms. Safety isn’t optional – it’s built into every project from day one.
While our primary focus is construction, we provide comprehensive startup service and education to get you started right. We teach you proper chemical balancing, equipment operation, and seasonal maintenance procedures.
We also offer custom pool covers and can recommend trusted local service providers for ongoing maintenance if you prefer professional care. Many of our customers handle basic maintenance themselves after our training.
Our relationship doesn’t end when construction finishes. We’re available for equipment questions, troubleshooting, and any issues that arise. As a local company, we stand behind our work and remain accessible to our customers for years after installation.
