Backyard Space That Becomes a Private Resort
Custom Inground Pool Design & Build in Loganville for properties ready to add luxury outdoor living space
Broussard Luxury Pools designs and builds custom inground pools across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia, working with property owners who want a backyard space shaped around how they actually use it. The process starts with site evaluation and moves through design consultation, permitting, excavation, structural build, equipment installation, and final inspection, with each phase documented on-site. Your choice between gunite or fiberglass depends on design flexibility, timeline, and finish preferences.
Custom inground pool construction adapts to lot grades, soil conditions, and backyard layouts that standard pool packages can't accommodate. In Loganville and surrounding areas, Georgia clay and variable water tables require excavation planning that accounts for seasonal ground movement. The build timeline aligns with warm-weather demand, and springtime starts allow full-season use by summer.
Schedule a site evaluation to review lot conditions, design options, and project scope based on your backyard layout.
What Happens During Structural Build and Finish
After excavation to engineered depth and shape, the structural phase begins with either gunite spray application over rebar framework or fiberglass shell placement into the prepared cavity. Gunite builds allow total shape customization and accommodate benches, sun shelves, and variable depths, while fiberglass shells arrive factory-formed and install faster with smooth gel-coat surfaces. Equipment installation follows structural completion, connecting filtration, heating, and circulation systems to the pool plumbing grid.
Once the structure cures and equipment tests complete, you'll notice the pool holds water without surface cracking, circulation moves water through all returns evenly, and the finish reflects light consistently across the entire surface. Broussard Luxury Pools documents each phase with on-site photography, so you see exactly how the build progresses from excavation through final walkthrough.
The project includes permitting coordination, but doesn't cover landscaping, fencing, or hardscape beyond the pool deck unless specified in the design contract. Timeline estimates account for inspection schedules and weather delays common in North Georgia spring construction windows.
Questions Property Owners Ask Before Starting
Custom pool projects involve site planning, material decisions, and coordination with local building departments, and these questions come up frequently during the design consultation phase.
What determines whether gunite or fiberglass works better for my lot?
Gunite suits projects requiring custom shapes, integrated spas, or variable depths, while fiberglass installs faster and works well for standard rectangular or freeform designs on relatively level lots with stable soil.
How does Georgia clay affect excavation and structural planning?
Clay expands and contracts with moisture changes, so proper compaction during backfill and drainage planning around the pool perimeter prevent shifting that can stress the shell or create surface cracks over time.
What happens during the permitting phase in Loganville?
The permitting process involves submitting engineered plans to the local building department, scheduling inspections at excavation, plumbing, electrical, and final stages, and coordinating timing so construction phases don't stall waiting for approval.
How long does a custom inground pool build typically take from start to finish?
Timeline depends on design complexity, material choice, weather conditions, and inspection scheduling, but most projects move through excavation, structural build, equipment installation, and finishing over several weeks once permitting clears.
What's included in the final inspection and owner training?
Final inspection confirms that all equipment operates correctly, water chemistry is balanced, and surfaces are finished to specification, followed by training on filtration controls, maintenance routines, and seasonal shutdown procedures if applicable.
