Georgia summers are brutal. You know it, your family knows it, and your backyard knows it too. When temperatures hit the 90s and humidity makes everything feel like a sauna, your outdoor space becomes unusable for months.
A custom in-ground pool changes everything. Suddenly, those scorching July afternoons become family time. Weekend barbecues extend into the evening. Your kids actually want to spend time outside instead of glued to screens indoors.
But here’s what really matters: you’re not just beating the heat. You’re creating the kind of memories that stick. The kind your kids will talk about when they’re adults with their own families.
We bring over 30 years of hands-on pool construction experience to every project in Lotts and across South Georgia. What started as one person’s passion for quality craftsmanship has grown into a trusted local business that families rely on.
We specialize in custom in-ground cement pools because we know what works in Georgia’s climate. The intense heat, the clay soil, the seasonal weather changes – we’ve built pools through all of it since 2014.
You won’t find us cutting corners or rushing through projects. Every pool we build is designed to last decades, not just look good for the first summer.
First, we sit down and actually listen. What does your family need? How do you want to use this space? What’s your timeline looking like? We’re not here to sell you the biggest, most expensive option – we’re here to build what makes sense for your life.
Next comes the design phase. We’ll walk your property, assess the terrain, and create a custom plan that works with your landscape, not against it. Every measurement matters because we’re building this once, and we’re building it right.
Construction starts with proper excavation and foundation work. This is where experience shows. We know South Georgia soil conditions, drainage requirements, and structural needs. The concrete work, plumbing, and finishing all happen in sequence, with quality checks at every stage. You’ll know exactly where we are in the process because we keep you informed throughout.

Our pool construction service covers everything from initial design consultation to final walkthrough. You get custom in-ground cement construction, professional plumbing and electrical work, and quality finishing that stands up to Georgia weather.
We also handle the details that other contractors sometimes overlook. Proper drainage around your pool area. Deck work that complements your home’s architecture. Safety features like custom pool covers that actually fit your specific pool dimensions.
In Lotts and the surrounding South Georgia area, we understand local building requirements and soil conditions. Clay soil needs different preparation than sandy soil. Drainage patterns vary from property to property. We factor in these local considerations because they directly impact how well your pool performs over time.
Most custom in-ground pool projects in the Lotts area take 6-10 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and features. Weather can impact the timeline – Georgia’s rainy season might add a few days here and there, but we plan for these factors upfront.
We break the construction into clear phases: excavation and foundation work (1-2 weeks), plumbing and electrical rough-in (3-5 days), concrete pour and curing (1-2 weeks), and finishing work including decking and final details (2-3 weeks). You’ll know exactly where we are in the process because we communicate regularly about progress and any adjustments needed.
The key is starting with proper planning and realistic expectations. We’d rather give you an accurate timeline upfront than promise something we can’t deliver.
In-ground cement pools are the gold standard for Georgia’s climate and soil conditions. Concrete handles our temperature swings, clay soil movement, and seasonal weather changes better than other materials. It’s also the most customizable option – you’re not limited to preset shapes or sizes.
We use shotcrete and gunite methods because they create the strongest, most durable shell. This matters in Georgia where ground movement from clay soil expansion and contraction can crack weaker construction. The concrete also provides better insulation, which helps with energy costs for heating and cooling.
Fiberglass pools can work in some situations, but they’re limited in size and shape options. Vinyl liner pools require more frequent replacement in our climate. When you’re making this kind of investment, concrete gives you the best long-term value.
Custom in-ground pool construction in the Lotts area typically ranges from $45,000 to $85,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic rectangular pool with standard finishes starts around $45,000. Add features like spas, custom lighting, or complex shapes, and costs increase accordingly.
Site conditions affect pricing significantly. Easy access, level terrain, and good drainage keep costs down. Challenging access, significant grading needs, or poor soil conditions require additional work. We always assess your specific property before providing a detailed quote.
The investment makes sense when you consider longevity. A properly built concrete pool in Georgia should last 25-30 years with proper maintenance. That breaks down to roughly $1,500-3,400 per year over the pool’s lifespan – less than many families spend on summer activities and vacations.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for pool construction in Lotts and Coffee County. This includes the building permit, electrical permit, and any required setback or drainage approvals. We know local requirements and have established relationships with county offices.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks in Coffee County, assuming all paperwork is complete and accurate. We submit applications early in the planning process so permits are ready when we’re scheduled to start construction. This prevents delays and keeps your project on schedule.
We also coordinate required inspections during construction – foundation inspection, electrical rough-in, plumbing pressure test, and final inspection. Each inspection must pass before we proceed to the next phase. This ensures your pool meets all safety and building code requirements.
Georgia pools require regular maintenance due to our warm, humid climate and longer swimming season. Basic weekly maintenance includes skimming debris, checking and adjusting chemical levels, and cleaning the skimmer baskets. During peak summer months, you might need to check chemicals twice weekly.
Seasonal maintenance is equally important. Spring opening involves removing winter covers, checking equipment operation, and balancing water chemistry after months of dormancy. Fall closing requires proper chemical treatment and equipment winterization, even though Georgia winters are mild compared to northern states.
Professional maintenance typically costs $150-250 per month for weekly service, or you can handle basic maintenance yourself for about $50-80 monthly in chemicals and supplies. The key is consistency – neglecting maintenance for even a few weeks in Georgia’s climate can lead to algae problems that take significant time and money to resolve.
Pool safety in Georgia requires multiple layers of protection, especially for families with children. We recommend starting with a proper fence – at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Pool covers add another safety layer and help with maintenance, but they’re not a substitute for fencing and supervision.
Automatic pool covers are popular in Georgia because they serve dual purposes – safety and energy savings. They keep debris out during our frequent storms and reduce evaporation during hot summer months. We custom-fit covers to your specific pool dimensions for maximum effectiveness.
Consider adding pool alarms that detect unexpected water entry, non-slip decking materials around the pool area, and proper lighting for evening use. Safety equipment like life rings and reaching poles should be easily accessible. Remember, no safety feature replaces active adult supervision when children are present.
