Suwanee sits between Lake Lanier and Atlanta, mostly in Gwinnett County with a portion in Forsyth County, and the Chattahoochee River forms its western edge. Many Suwanee neighborhoods were built on wooded, rolling terrain, and plenty of homes with a Suwanee mailing address are outside city limits in Gwinnett, Forsyth or Fulton County. A custom gunite pool can be designed around whatever lot, slope and setbacks you are working with.
Building on Rolling, Wooded Lots
The first questions on a Suwanee project are usually about grade, trees and access. We walk the property, look at how water drains, which trees need protecting and how equipment will reach the backyard, then build a 3D design rendering so you can see the pool, spa and finishes from the house before anything is dug.
Gunite is formed on site, which makes it a strong fit for these lots. It can be stepped into a slope, paired with a raised spa and spillover, or shaped to fit a narrow yard between neighboring homes. You choose the shape, depth, steps and benches instead of picking from a factory mold.
Permits in Suwanee
Inside city limits, building permits and inspections are handled by the City of Suwanee Inspections Department. Addresses outside city limits are permitted by the county where the property is located. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can prepare drawings for its architectural review as well. We confirm which offices apply, prepare the plans and drawings and coordinate the inspections.
