Picture this: it’s a Saturday afternoon in July, and instead of cranking up the AC and staying indoors, your family is diving into crystal-clear water in your own backyard. No crowded public pools. No driving across town. Just pure relaxation steps from your back door.
That’s what happens when you invest in quality pool construction. Your property value increases, your family gets a private retreat, and you become the house everyone wants to visit. But here’s what most people don’t realize—the difference between a pool that enhances your life and one that becomes a headache comes down to who builds it.
Deep Waters Pools isn’t some fly-by-night operation that showed up yesterday. We’ve been building custom inground cement pools across South Georgia since 2014, but our story goes back much further. Our team brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in concrete, plumbing, and custom pool construction.
What started as one man’s passion for creating backyard oases has grown into a trusted local business. We understand Sapps Still’s clay soil, Georgia’s weather patterns, and what it takes to build a pool that lasts. When you work with us, you’re not just getting contractors—you’re getting neighbors who’ve been perfecting this craft for decades.
Here’s how we turn your backyard into the neighborhood’s favorite gathering spot. First, we meet at your property to discuss your vision, assess your space, and provide a transparent estimate. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics—just honest conversation about what’s possible within your budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle all permits and begin excavation. Our experienced crew manages every aspect: concrete work, plumbing, electrical, and finishing touches. We keep you informed throughout the process because we know waiting for your pool is exciting enough without wondering what’s happening.
The final step is the best part—your first dive into perfectly clear water. We’ll walk you through maintenance basics and provide our custom pool covers for safety. From start to splash, most projects complete within the timeframe we promise, because we’ve been doing this long enough to know what works.

Not all pools are created equal, especially in South Georgia. Our custom inground cement pools use shotcrete and gunite methods that handle Georgia’s soil conditions and weather extremes. While others cut corners with prefab solutions, we build each pool specifically for your property and preferences.
Every Deep Waters pool includes professional-grade plumbing and electrical work, custom safety features, and finishes designed to last. We specialize in natural stone integration, custom lighting, and water features that complement your landscape. Whether you want a simple rectangle for lap swimming or a freeform design with built-in spa, we make it happen.
The difference shows in the details: proper drainage systems that prevent settling, reinforcement that withstands freeze-thaw cycles, and surface finishes that stay beautiful year after year. This is why families across Sapps Still and South Georgia trust us with their biggest backyard investment.
Most custom inground cement pools take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and features. Weather can affect this timeline, especially during Georgia’s rainy season, but we plan for these factors and keep you updated throughout the process.
The actual construction follows a specific sequence: excavation and steel installation (week 1), concrete pour and curing (weeks 2-3), plumbing and electrical rough-in (week 4), tile and coping installation (week 5-6), and final equipment installation and startup (weeks 7-8). We coordinate each phase carefully to avoid delays and ensure quality at every step.
Concrete pools offer unlimited customization and superior durability for Georgia’s climate. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in predetermined shapes and sizes, we can build exactly what you envision—any shape, depth, or feature you want.
Concrete also handles ground movement better than fiberglass, which matters in areas with clay soil like Sapps Still. The shotcrete and gunite methods we use create a monolithic structure that flexes with natural soil changes without cracking. Plus, concrete pools can be refinished and updated over time, while fiberglass pools show their age and require complete replacement when damaged.
Custom inground cement pools typically range from $40,000 to $80,000, depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while elaborate designs with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes reach the higher range.
Several factors affect pricing: excavation difficulty (rocky or clay soil requires more work), access to your backyard (tight spaces need special equipment), electrical and plumbing runs, and finish selections. We provide detailed written estimates that break down each component, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing for quality construction.
Yes, we manage all permitting and inspection requirements for your pool project. This includes submitting plans to local authorities, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets current building codes.
Sapps Still and surrounding areas have specific requirements for pool construction, including setback distances, safety barriers, and electrical installations. We know these regulations inside and out and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy. Our established relationships with local inspectors help keep your project moving smoothly through the approval process.
Concrete pools require regular chemical balancing, weekly cleaning, and seasonal maintenance—similar to any pool type. The key difference is concrete pools are more forgiving and easier to repair than other materials.
Daily maintenance involves checking chemical levels and skimming debris. Weekly tasks include brushing walls, vacuuming, and emptying skimmer baskets. Seasonally, you’ll need to balance water chemistry more carefully and may need to acid wash the surface every few years to remove mineral buildup. We provide detailed maintenance guidance and can recommend trusted local pool service companies if you prefer professional upkeep.
While we specialize in new construction, we can evaluate existing pools for renovation possibilities. Adding major features like integrated spas or structural waterfalls to existing concrete pools often requires significant reconstruction.
The feasibility depends on your current pool’s construction method, age, and structural condition. Sometimes it’s more cost-effective to build new rather than extensively modify existing structures. During our consultation, we’ll assess your current setup and provide honest recommendations about what’s possible versus what makes financial sense for your situation.
