Most people in Rentz aren’t looking for a resort. They’re looking for a backyard that finally works a place to cool off after a long commute, somewhere the kids can spend a Saturday, and an outdoor space that makes the land they own feel worth every bit of it. That’s the real outcome here. Not a showpiece. A backyard you actually use.
Georgia’s swimming season runs from April through October in Laurens County that’s seven months of usable water time. When you factor in mild spring evenings and warm fall weekends, the outdoor living space surrounding the pool extends that number even further. A fire feature, a covered patio, landscape lighting the investment keeps paying off well past Labor Day.
And because Rentz properties tend to run larger than a typical suburban lot, the design possibilities here are genuinely different. You’re not cramming a pool into a tight footprint. You’re working with space that allows for real landscape pool integration water features, tanning ledges, outdoor living areas designed around how your land actually sits, not how a catalog says it should look. That’s a different conversation than most pool companies are having, and it’s the one worth having first.
We’ve been building custom inground pools across South Georgia for over three decades formally established in 2014, but the construction experience behind every project goes back well before that. Concrete, plumbing, excavation, drainage engineering this isn’t a company that added pools to a general contractor’s service list. It’s all we do, and we’ve done it long enough to know what’s under the ground before we dig.
That matters specifically in Rentz and the surrounding area. The Upper Coastal Plain soil around Laurens County sandy loam that drains freely but can shift around a pool shell if the compaction and backfill aren’t engineered correctly is something we’ve worked with extensively. An inexperienced builder treats all Georgia soil the same. We don’t. We know the difference, and we build accordingly.
Every permit, every inspection, every call to the Laurens County Building and Zoning Department that’s on us, not you. From the first design conversation to the final inspection sign-off, we manage the process so you don’t have to.
It starts with a conversation about your property the layout, the drainage, how you use your outdoor space, and what you’re actually trying to build. From there, we put together a 3D pool rendering so you can see exactly what the finished design looks like on your specific lot before anything gets approved or built. For homeowners in Rentz with larger, more complex properties, this step is where a lot of decisions get made and where a lot of regret gets avoided.
Once the design is dialed in, we handle the Laurens County permit application, inspection scheduling, and all the regulatory documentation required under Georgia’s residential construction codes. You don’t navigate that process we do. Construction typically runs through spring in this region, timed so the pool is ready before Rentz hits the deep heat of June and July. We build in buffer for the rainfall patterns that come with Laurens County’s climate, because weather delays are real and pretending they’re not leads to broken timelines.
After construction, we walk you through everything equipment, maintenance basics, chemical management so you’re not left figuring it out on your own. If something unexpected came up during the build, you already knew about it. That’s not a policy we made up it’s just how we work.

Custom concrete pool design means the shape, the depth, the features, and the finish are all determined by your property and your preferences not by what a manufacturer pre-molded. Fiberglass pools come in fixed shapes. Gunite doesn’t. That’s the difference between a pool that fits your land and one you compromise around.
For Rentz homeowners, that flexibility matters. Whether you’re drawn to an infinity edge pool that creates a seamless visual horizon across your backyard, a custom water feature like a natural-looking waterfall or deck jets, or a full outdoor living space with a covered patio and integrated landscape design all of it gets designed together from the start. Water features, in particular, have to be plumbed in during construction. Adding them later is significantly more expensive or structurally impossible, which is why the design conversation covers everything upfront.
The 3D rendering process is part of every project. You see the pool in context with your actual property the orientation of your home, the natural grade of your land, where the outdoor living areas sit relative to the water. For a large rural lot in Rentz, that visual is genuinely useful. It’s the difference between hoping it looks right and knowing it does. We include custom safety covers, precision-cut to the exact shape of your pool because a pool on a rural property with kids around isn’t something to leave to afterthought.
Yes any inground pool construction in Rentz requires a building permit through the Laurens County Building and Zoning Department. That includes the pool shell itself, the electrical work for your equipment, and any associated structures like a covered patio or outdoor kitchen. Georgia law also requires that the contractor performing the work hold a valid residential contractor’s license for projects above $2,500.
The permit process in Laurens County involves submitting your construction plans, scheduling inspections at specific stages of the build, and getting final sign-off before the electrical service to your pool equipment can be activated. Georgia Power and local EMCs won’t energize the equipment without that approval so cutting corners on the permit side doesn’t just create legal risk, it creates a pool that literally can’t run. We handle the entire permit process on your behalf, from application to final inspection. You don’t make a single call to the county office.
Custom concrete pools in the South Georgia market typically range from $60,000 to $120,000 or more, depending on size, design complexity, and the features you include. A straightforward rectangular pool with standard finishes sits toward the lower end of that range. Add an infinity edge, custom water features, a tanning ledge, an integrated spa, or a full outdoor living space with a covered patio, and the number moves accordingly.
For Rentz homeowners evaluating whether that investment makes sense, a few things are worth knowing. Inground pools in warm-climate Georgia markets increase home values by 7% to 10% or more on a home valued at $150,000, that’s $10,500 to $15,000 in added equity. Concrete pools also last 30 or more years when built correctly, which changes how you think about the cost. Spread over the life of the pool, the math looks different than it does on day one. We walk through all of this during the initial consultation so you have a clear picture before anything is committed.
A 3D pool rendering is a detailed digital visualization of your finished pool design, shown in context with your actual property the layout of your home, the grade of your land, where the patio sits, how the water features integrate with the surrounding landscape. It’s not a generic stock image or a rough sketch. It’s your pool, on your lot, before a single shovel breaks ground.
For homeowners in Rentz with larger rural properties, this step is especially important. The relationship between a pool and the surrounding landscape is more complex on a big lot than it is in a tight suburban backyard. Orientation matters. Drainage patterns matter. How the outdoor living areas connect to the house matters. Seeing all of that in a rendered design before construction begins is how you make a confident decision on a significant investment and how you avoid design regret after the fact. Changes made on a rendering cost nothing. Changes made after concrete is poured cost a lot.
Yes. The infinity edge effect sometimes called a vanishing edge or negative edge is created through engineering, not natural geography. A catch basin below the pool’s edge collects water as it spills over, and a recirculating pump system returns it to the pool continuously. The visual effect of a seamless horizon is produced by precise water level calibration and the structural design of the edge itself, not by the lot sitting on a hillside.
That said, the design does need to account for your specific property the grade, the drainage, and where the catch basin can be positioned relative to the pool. On the sandy loam soils common to the Upper Coastal Plain around Rentz, proper drainage engineering around the catch basin is part of getting this right. It’s not a complicated addition, but it’s one that has to be planned from the beginning of the design process. If an infinity edge is part of what you’re envisioning, bring it up in the first conversation it shapes how the entire pool is laid out.
From the initial design consultation to a finished, swim-ready pool, most custom concrete builds run between three and six months. The design and permitting phase including the 3D rendering, plan approval, and Laurens County permit processing typically takes four to eight weeks depending on the complexity of the project and the county’s current workload. Construction itself runs eight to fourteen weeks in most cases.
Weather is a real factor in Laurens County. The region gets consistent rainfall distributed throughout the year, and heavy rain events can pause excavation or concrete work for days at a time. We build that into the schedule rather than pretending it won’t happen. The practical implication for Rentz homeowners is that if you want a pool ready for the beginning of the summer swim season roughly Memorial Day the design conversation needs to start in the fall or early winter. Waiting until March to start the process usually means waiting until late summer to swim.
On larger rural properties in Rentz and the surrounding area, the water features that tend to work best are the ones designed to complement the natural character of the land rather than fight it. Natural-style waterfalls built from stone or textured concrete work well on properties with any grade change, even a modest one. Deck jets arching streams of water that shoot from the pool deck into the water add movement and sound without requiring structural complexity. Bubblers set into a tanning ledge are popular for families with younger kids. Grottos are possible on larger lots where the footprint allows for the additional structure.
What’s important to understand is that all of these features need to be designed and plumbed during the original construction. The plumbing lines, the pump sizing, the electrical connections they’re integrated into the pool’s infrastructure from the start. Trying to add a waterfall or deck jets to a finished pool is either prohibitively expensive or structurally not possible depending on how the original plumbing was laid out. If you have any interest in water features at all, even if you’re not sure which ones, that conversation belongs in the design phase not after the pool is already built.
