Residential Design/Build
More than a pool: the entire backyard experience.
A luxury pool is defined by the details: how it sits on the property, how the spa relates to the pool, the feel of the coping underfoot, and how the space looks at night.
Our design/build approach means the same team plans and builds your project. We handle design, applicable permits, excavation, construction, decking, and finish work, and we keep you informed with clear communication throughout.
How our process works
What We Build
Residential pool services.
Custom Pool Design
Every Bulldog pool starts with your property: its slope, soil, views, and how you plan to use the space. We develop a design that fits the home and the way your family entertains.
Gunite Pool Construction
Gunite offers nearly unlimited freedom of shape, depth, and detail, making it our choice for fully custom pools, integrated spas, and architectural water features.
Fiberglass Pools
Where a fiberglass shell is the right fit for the design and site, we install quality fiberglass pools with the same attention to decking and surroundings.
Pool & Spa Combinations
Raised and integrated spas, spillovers, and shared waterlines that make the spa feel like a natural part of the pool.
Water Features
Sheer descents, stone feature walls, bubblers, and spillways that add sound, movement, and a focal point to the backyard.
Pool Decking & Hardscapes
Paver, travertine, natural stone, and concrete surrounds, plus retaining and seating walls that frame the pool.
Outdoor Living Integration
Pavilions, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and fire pits planned with the pool so the whole space works together.
Equipment & Finishes
Pumps, filtration, lighting, and interior finishes selected for performance and appearance, with a walkthrough of how everything operates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Residential pool questions.
Can you help design my backyard if I don’t know where to start?
Absolutely. We will guide you through layout options, recommend materials, and develop a custom design that reflects your vision, whether you are starting with a single pool idea or planning a complete outdoor living transformation.
Do you only build pools, or full outdoor living spaces as well?
We do much more than pools. Alongside pool design and construction, we create complete outdoor living environments, from custom patios and pergolas to outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, so the whole backyard works together.
How long does a custom pool or outdoor living project take?
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the design, site conditions, permitting, and weather. During your consultation we will review the scope with you and provide a clear schedule for your specific project.
Do you handle permits and local building codes?
Yes. Our team manages the required permits and inspections and builds to applicable Georgia and local codes, so you have a straightforward process from start to finish.
Do you provide financing options?
We understand a pool and outdoor living space is a significant investment. Ask us about available financing options during your consultation.

We are based in Athens, GA and build throughout North Georgia, including Athens, Watkinsville, Monroe, Winder, Jefferson, Lawrenceville, Loganville, Bethlehem, Snellville, and the surrounding communities.
