Experienced Pool Builders in

We specialize in custom gunite (shotcrete) pools, often referred to as Pebble Tec–style pools. Every pool we build is fully customized to fit your backyard, lifestyle, and design preferences—no templates or pre-made designs.

At Aqua Design Pools & Spas, LLC, our custom pools typically start at $100,000. Regardless of size, every pool is built using the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Final pricing depends on design complexity, features, and site conditions.

Our standard goal is to complete construction within 12–14 weeks, starting from the day excavation begins. Timelines may vary depending on factors such as:

• Weather conditions
• Design complexity
• Inspections
• Additional features like cabanas, hardscapes, or landscaping

Please note that “Day 1” refers specifically to the start of excavation, not contract signing or permitting.

The 3D design is intended as a conceptual and inspirational visual to help you imagine your future pool and outdoor space. It is not a construction drawing.

During construction, variations in materials, dimensions, layout, or finishes may occur. The final scope of work is defined solely by your invoice, which outlines exactly what is included and paid for. The completed project may differ from the 3D rendering.

Not necessarily. Pool construction involves multiple specialized crews working in stages. While we coordinate scheduling to keep progress moving efficiently, there may be periods when no work occurs on-site due to:

• Scheduling logistics
• Inspections
• Weather conditions
• Availability of specialized trades

These pauses are normal and expected as part of the overall construction process.

Permit timelines vary widely depending on your local jurisdiction and property conditions. Some permits may be approved the same day, while others can take several months.

Factors that may affect permitting include:

• Local zoning requirements
• Easements or setbacks
• Property-specific restrictions

We strongly recommend obtaining an As-Built survey for your property. We are happy to review it and help identify any potential concerns before construction begins.

Once pool construction is complete, we establish a rough final grade around the pool—typically within a 10-foot radius—and ensure water drains away from the structure.

However, this area is not sod-ready. Final grading, finish grading, raking, drainage adjustments, and sod or landscaping installation must be completed by a landscaper.

While we aim to be fully transparent, certain conditions may result in additional costs that are not included in the initial contract:

• Soil Conditions: Soil conditions can vary significantly. If excavation reveals excessive moisture, unsuitable soil, debris, or rock, additional work may be required. These conditions are typically identified on the first day of excavation and discussed immediately.
• Tree or Stump Removal: Removal of trees or stumps within the pool area is not included and will incur additional costs if required.
• Auto-Fill Connection: We install the auto water leveler and prepare the plumbing for connection. However, the final connection to a water source must be completed by a plumber or irrigation professional and is not included in our scope of work.

Yes. Georgia state law and local municipalities require a fence around all pools. Fence requirements vary by jurisdiction but typically include:

• Minimum height requirements
• Self-closing gates
• Self-latching hardware

Please check with your local zoning or building department to confirm the exact code requirements for your area.
