You’re not looking for just any pool. You want something that makes sense for your family, your budget, and your backyard in Oberry.
That means understanding how Georgia’s clay soil affects foundation work. It means knowing which pool features actually get used and which ones just look good in magazines. It means honest conversations about what fits your timeline and your wallet.
When your pool is finished, you’ll have exactly what you envisioned—without the surprises, delays, or regrets that come from working with contractors who don’t know what they’re doing.
We’ve been designing and building custom inground cement pools in South Georgia since 2014, but our experience goes back over 30 years. We’ve seen every type of soil condition, weather challenge, and backyard situation that Oberry and Coffee County can throw at us.
We’re not the biggest pool company, and that’s exactly why families choose us. You get personal attention from people who actually show up when they say they will. You get honest answers about costs, timelines, and what works best for your specific situation.
Our reputation in Douglas and surrounding areas comes from one simple approach: do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’re going to do it.
First, we come to your property for a free consultation. We’ll look at your yard, talk about what you want, and give you straight answers about what’s possible within your budget.
If you decide to move forward, we handle all the permits and paperwork. Then we start excavation, being extra careful with Oberry’s soil conditions and any underground utilities. We build the concrete shell using proven techniques that account for Georgia’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Next comes plumbing, electrical, and finishing work. We install your chosen features—whether that’s custom lighting, safety covers, or spa additions. Finally, we fill your pool, balance the water chemistry, and walk you through everything you need to know about maintenance.

Every Deep Waters pool starts with custom design work that considers your family’s needs, your property’s unique characteristics, and Oberry’s specific climate conditions. We’re talking about more than just pool shape and size.
We factor in drainage patterns, sun exposure throughout the day, and how prevailing winds will affect your pool experience. We consider your home’s architecture and existing landscaping. Most importantly, we design around how you actually plan to use your pool—not how it looks in a brochure.
Your project includes all necessary permits, professional excavation that respects your property, and concrete work that’s built to last in South Georgia’s challenging weather conditions. We also provide detailed maintenance training and ongoing support after your pool is complete.
Custom inground pools in the Oberry area typically start around $35,000 and can go up depending on size, features, and site conditions. The final cost depends on factors like your yard’s slope, soil conditions, and the features you choose.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every aspect of your project. No surprises, no hidden fees. We’ve found that being upfront about costs from the beginning leads to much better relationships and results.
During your free consultation, we’ll give you a realistic range based on what you’re looking for. Most families find our pricing competitive with other quality contractors in South Georgia, but with better communication and follow-through.
Inground cement pools are ideal for Georgia’s climate because they handle temperature fluctuations better than other materials. Georgia’s clay soil can shift with moisture changes, but properly built concrete pools are designed to handle this.
We use reinforced concrete construction techniques that account for freeze-thaw cycles and ground movement. The thermal mass of concrete also helps maintain more stable water temperatures, which means lower heating costs if you choose to heat your pool.
For Oberry specifically, we recommend features like proper drainage around the pool deck and quality coping that won’t crack during temperature swings. We’ve been building pools in this area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
Most custom pool projects in Oberry take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, weather permitting. Georgia’s unpredictable weather can sometimes extend timelines, especially during our rainy season.
The timeline breaks down roughly like this: excavation and plumbing (1 week), concrete work (1 week), curing time (1 week), finishing work and equipment installation (2-3 weeks), then final details and startup (1 week). We always build buffer time into our schedules for weather delays.
We keep you updated throughout the process and let you know immediately if anything changes. Most delays happen because of weather or permit issues, not because we’re juggling too many projects at once.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with Coffee County and local authorities. We’re familiar with Oberry’s specific requirements and have good working relationships with local inspectors.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the county’s current workload. We submit all necessary plans and documentation, schedule required inspections, and make sure everything meets local codes before we start digging.
Having local experience matters here. We know which inspectors prefer certain construction details and how to avoid common issues that can delay your project. We also know when it makes sense to apply for permits versus when simple projects might not require them.
Pool maintenance in Georgia focuses on managing algae growth during hot months and protecting equipment during occasional freezing weather. We provide complete training on chemical balancing, cleaning procedures, and seasonal care.
Weekly maintenance includes skimming debris, checking chemical levels, and cleaning the filter system. During summer months, you might need to brush walls and vacuum more frequently due to increased usage and organic debris from surrounding trees.
Winter care is minimal in South Georgia, but we’ll show you how to protect equipment during freezes and maintain proper chemical balance during cooler months when the pool isn’t used as much. Most of our customers handle routine maintenance themselves, but we’re always available for questions or service calls.
Absolutely. We regularly design pools that work with existing trees, gardens, and outdoor structures. Part of our site evaluation includes assessing what can stay and what might need to be modified.
Mature trees are often a major concern for homeowners. We can usually design around them, though we’ll be honest about root systems and whether certain trees might cause long-term issues with your pool or deck. Sometimes minor landscaping adjustments create better results than trying to squeeze a pool into an unchanged yard.
We coordinate with local landscaping contractors when needed and can recommend trusted partners for any yard work that might improve your overall design. The goal is creating a cohesive outdoor space that feels natural and functions well for your family.
