Hear from Our Customers
You’ve chosen Fouts Mill for the space, the serenity, and the escape from Atlanta’s hustle. Your pool should match that vision.
We design custom inground pools that work with your property’s unique landscape and your family’s lifestyle. Whether you’re working with rolling terrain, mature trees, or want to maximize those beautiful rural views, we create pools that feel like they belong.
No cookie-cutter designs. No rushing through the process. Just thoughtful pool design that turns your backyard into the retreat you moved here for.
Deep Waters Pools brings over 30 years of hands-on pool construction experience to Fouts Mill and Douglas County. We’re not newcomers trying to figure out Georgia’s clay soil or weather patterns.
We understand the unique challenges of building on rural properties. We know the local building codes, the permitting process, and how to work with the terrain that makes Fouts Mill properties so appealing.
Since 2014, we’ve built our reputation on quality construction, honest communication, and treating every project like it’s our own backyard. When your neighbors ask who built your pool, you’ll be proud to tell them.
We start with your property and your vision. Every Fouts Mill lot is different, and we design accordingly.
First, we walk your property together. We look at drainage, existing landscaping, views you want to preserve, and how you plan to use the space. Then we create a custom design that works with your terrain instead of fighting it.
Construction begins with proper excavation and foundation work—critical for the clay soils common in Douglas County. We handle all permits and inspections, keeping you informed but not burdened with paperwork. Our concrete work is built to last, using techniques refined over three decades of Georgia pool construction.
The result is a pool that looks like it was always meant to be there, built to handle whatever Georgia weather brings.

Our pool design services cover everything from initial concept to final touches. We specialize in custom inground cement pools that complement Fouts Mill’s rural character.
For families with large properties, we design pools that take advantage of your space without overwhelming it. Freeform designs that follow natural contours. Geometric pools that create clean lines against wooded backdrops. Built-in features like tanning ledges for relaxation and beach entries for easy access.
We also prioritize safety with custom pool covers—especially important for families with children or pets on these larger, more secluded properties. Every design considers both beauty and practical safety measures that fit your lifestyle.
Douglas County’s growing market means your pool investment should enhance your property value while giving you years of enjoyment. We design with both goals in mind.
Most custom pool projects in Fouts Mill take 8-12 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, depending on design complexity and weather conditions. The design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks as we work with your property’s unique characteristics.
Rural properties often present interesting opportunities—like incorporating natural slopes or working around mature trees—that can add time but create much better results. We’d rather take the extra time to do it right than rush and compromise the final product.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Georgia weather can impact construction schedules, especially during heavy rain periods, but we plan for these contingencies.
Large properties give us the freedom to create pools that truly complement your landscape. Freeform designs are popular here because they can follow your property’s natural contours and feel integrated rather than imposed.
For families who entertain, we often design pools with multiple zones—swimming areas, shallow lounging sections, and separate spa areas. The space allows for features like beach entries, which are perfect for children and create a resort-like feel.
Geometric designs also work beautifully when you want clean lines that contrast with the natural surroundings. We can incorporate infinity edges that seem to blend into distant views, or design rectangular pools that create striking reflections of the sky and trees.
Yes, we handle all permitting and inspection requirements for Douglas County pool construction. After 30+ years in Georgia, we know the local codes and have established relationships with county officials.
Douglas County requires specific permits for pool construction, electrical work, and sometimes additional approvals for properties with septic systems or wells. We submit all applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure everything meets or exceeds local requirements.
This saves you time and potential headaches. Permit issues can delay construction for weeks if not handled properly. We build the permit timeline into your project schedule so there are no surprises.
Our approach starts with understanding your property and how you want to live with your pool. We don’t use generic designs or pressure you into features that don’t fit your lifestyle.
Three decades of experience means we’ve solved problems other builders are still learning about. Georgia’s clay soil, drainage challenges, tree root systems—we’ve handled it all. We know which construction techniques work long-term and which create problems down the road.
We also focus on honest communication throughout the process. No surprise costs, no disappearing for weeks without updates. We treat your project like we’d want our own handled—with attention to detail and respect for your investment.
Challenging terrain is where our experience really shows. Fouts Mill properties often have slopes, mature trees, or drainage considerations that require creative solutions.
We’ve built pools on hillsides using retaining walls and terracing that look natural and provide additional outdoor living space. We work around tree root systems to preserve mature landscaping while ensuring proper pool structure.
Drainage is critical on rural properties, especially with Georgia’s clay soils. We design proper drainage systems that protect both your pool and your property from water issues. These aren’t just add-ons—they’re integral parts of the design that prevent expensive problems later.
Safety is especially important on larger, more secluded properties where children have more freedom to roam. We recommend custom pool covers as the primary safety feature—they’re more reliable than fencing alone and protect the pool when you’re not around.
We also design pools with safety in mind from the beginning. Gradual entry areas instead of sudden drop-offs. Non-slip surfaces around the pool deck. Proper lighting for evening use.
For Fouts Mill families, we often recommend pool alarms and safety equipment that work with your property’s layout. The goal is creating multiple layers of protection that don’t interfere with enjoying your pool but give you peace of mind, especially with the larger spaces and natural surroundings typical here.
