Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of sweltering Georgia summers with nowhere to cool off. Your kids are bored, and your backyard feels wasted. You want a pool, but you’ve heard the horror stories about contractors who disappear, budgets that explode, and pools that turn into maintenance nightmares.
Here’s what life looks like after we build your pool: Summer afternoons become family time instead of hiding indoors. Your backyard transforms into the neighborhood gathering spot. Property values increase while your stress decreases. You’re swimming in crystal-clear water while your neighbors are still talking about getting quotes.
The difference is concrete construction done right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no regrets.
We’ve been serving Douglas and Coffee County since 2014, but our story goes back much further. We started Deep Waters Pools after decades of hands-on experience in concrete, plumbing, and custom pool construction because we saw too many families getting burned by unreliable contractors.
We’re not the biggest pool company in Georgia, and we’re not the cheapest. We’re the ones who answer our phones, show up when we say we will, and build pools that are still beautiful years later. Every project we complete becomes an advertisement for our business, which is why we treat your backyard like our own.
Coffee County families trust us because we live here, work here, and understand what it takes to build pools that handle our Georgia clay soil and weather extremes.
First, we visit your property for a consultation and site evaluation. We’ll discuss your vision, measure your space, and explain what’s possible within your budget. No pressure, no sales games—just honest answers about what it takes to build your dream pool.
Next comes design and permitting. We handle all the paperwork with Coffee County while creating detailed plans that match your lifestyle and property. Once permits are approved, we schedule your construction start date and stick to it.
Construction begins with excavation and steel installation, followed by concrete placement using proven shotcrete methods. We install your equipment, plumbing, and electrical systems before finishing with tile, coping, and decking. Throughout the process, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. The result is a pool built to last decades, not just seasons.

Our pool services include custom inground concrete pool construction, spa installation, and patio design. We specialize in concrete because it’s the most durable option for Douglas’s soil conditions and gives you unlimited design flexibility. Whether you want a simple rectangle for lap swimming or a resort-style oasis with waterfalls and spas, concrete construction makes it possible.
We also provide custom pool covers for safety and energy efficiency. Georgia’s climate means your pool can be a year-round investment with the right equipment and covers. Our safety covers meet all local codes while reducing heating costs and chemical usage.
Douglas families choose us for complete outdoor living solutions because we understand Coffee County’s unique challenges. Our local expertise means proper drainage for Georgia clay soil, equipment that handles our humidity, and construction methods that prevent the cracking and settling issues common with inexperienced installers.
Most concrete pool projects in Douglas take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline since we won’t pour concrete in freezing temperatures or heavy rain, but Coffee County’s mild climate means we can work most of the year.
The process breaks down like this: excavation and steel take 1-2 weeks, concrete placement and curing require another week, then plumbing, electrical, and equipment installation add 2-3 weeks. Final steps like tile, coping, and deck finishing typically take 1-2 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you updated on progress throughout construction.
Concrete pools handle Georgia’s clay soil and temperature changes much better than fiberglass. Our soil expands and contracts with moisture and temperature, which can crack or shift fiberglass shells over time. Concrete construction creates a monolithic structure that moves with the soil instead of fighting it.
Concrete also gives you unlimited design options. Fiberglass pools come in predetermined shapes and sizes, but concrete can be formed into any shape, depth, or configuration you want. You can add custom features like built-in spas, swim-up bars, or unique water features that aren’t possible with prefab fiberglass shells. The initial cost might be higher, but concrete pools last longer and offer better customization for Douglas homeowners.
Yes, we handle all permitting and inspections required by Coffee County and the City of Douglas. Pool construction requires multiple permits including building, electrical, and sometimes septic system modifications depending on your property layout.
We submit all paperwork, coordinate with county inspectors, and ensure your pool meets current safety codes including proper fencing, drainage, and equipment installation. Our local experience means we know exactly what Coffee County inspectors look for, which prevents delays and costly corrections. You don’t need to worry about navigating county offices or understanding building codes—we handle everything so your project stays on schedule.
Concrete pools require regular but manageable maintenance to keep them looking great. You’ll need to test and balance water chemistry weekly, clean the pool surface and equipment monthly, and brush the walls to prevent algae buildup. Most Douglas homeowners find this takes 1-2 hours per week during swimming season.
We provide complete instructions for chemical balancing and equipment operation when we finish your pool. We also offer maintenance services if you prefer professional care, or we can recommend trusted local pool service companies. The key is staying consistent with basic care—neglecting maintenance for weeks creates bigger problems that cost more to fix. Concrete pools are actually easier to maintain than vinyl liners because you can brush aggressively without worrying about damage.
Concrete pool costs in Douglas typically range from $40,000 to $80,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $40,000, while custom designs with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes can exceed $80,000.
Several factors affect pricing including excavation difficulty (Georgia clay can be challenging), electrical requirements, and distance from the street to your backyard. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what’s included. We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics or change prices after you sign—our estimates are accurate and comprehensive. Financing options are available for qualified buyers, and we never require full payment upfront.
Yes, we can build pools during Georgia winters, though the timeline may extend slightly due to weather considerations. Douglas’s mild winter climate allows construction most days, but we won’t pour concrete when temperatures drop below 40 degrees or during heavy rain periods.
Winter construction actually offers some advantages: contractors are less busy so you get more attention, material costs can be lower, and your pool is ready for summer swimming season. We adjust our schedule around weather patterns and communicate any delays immediately. Most winter projects in Coffee County experience only minor delays, and starting construction in winter means you’re swimming by Memorial Day instead of waiting until late summer when contractors get backlogged.
