Proudly Serving Auburn, GA
Auburn is one of the closest cities to our home base, and that proximity shows up in the work. Short drives mean faster site visits, quicker answers, and a crew that is not fighting cross-town traffic to reach your project. We know the roads here, from the small-town blocks around Auburn Road to the neighborhoods spreading out along the GA-316 corridor.
This part of Barrow County has grown quickly, and most of that growth is new construction. Builders deliver a solid house on a graded lot, then stop at the back door. Our job starts there: reading the grade, planning drainage before anything is dug, and designing a pool and patio layout that fits the lot you actually own rather than a generic template. Because Auburn straddles the Barrow and Gwinnett county line, we confirm which office issues your permit before design work begins.
Our Pool Services in Auburn
Most Auburn projects start with a blank slate. Here is how we fill it in.
New Pool Construction
Our new pool construction service covers design, permitting, excavation, and finishing, starting with a free 3D design so you can see the layout before we dig. On the larger, open lots common in Auburn subdivisions, there is usually room to place the pool where it gets sun and still leaves yard for kids and pets.
Pool Decking & Patios
The surface around the water decides how the space feels underfoot. We install pool decking and paver patios in finishes that stay comfortable in Georgia summers and hold up to red clay and heavy rain, giving a new-build backyard the finished look the house deserves.
Hardscaping
Newly graded lots often slope more than owners expect. Our hardscaping crews build retaining walls, walkways, and terraced areas that convert an awkward drop-off into level, usable ground, and that groundwork protects the pool investment sitting next to it.
Outdoor Living
Once the pool is in, outdoor living features make the backyard a place you use on weeknights, not just in July. Shaded seating under pergolas, fire pits for cool evenings, and a cooking area turn a bare Auburn lot into the spot the whole neighborhood ends up at.
Why Auburn Homeowners Choose Aqualis
When your builder hands over the keys, the backyard is usually the unfinished chapter, and the next contractor you hire decides how that chapter reads. Auburn homeowners work with us because we are close enough to show up, and because we plan the whole yard at once instead of adding a pool and leaving you to sort out drainage, decking, and access later. You get a design you can see in 3D, a scope written in plain language, and one team responsible from grading through final inspection. We also plan around what new subdivisions demand: HOA guidelines, construction access between closely spaced homes, and pool fencing and safety that meets Georgia requirements from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Usually yes, and it is one of the most common projects we take on in Auburn. What matters is access for equipment, the location of utilities and septic or sewer lines, the grade left by the builder, and any HOA rules for your subdivision. We review all of that during the free design consultation before anything is committed.
Cost follows the design and the site. Pool size, shape, interior finish, decking, and features all move the number, and so do lot conditions such as slope, access, and drainage. Rather than quote a range that may not apply to your yard, we scope your project and give you an itemized proposal.
Expect several months from approved design to swim-ready, including permitting, excavation, construction, and finishing work. Weather and inspection scheduling can shift dates, so your proposal includes a realistic timeline and we update you as each phase wraps up.
Yes to both. Residential pools require permits, and Georgia safety rules call for barrier protection around the water. Auburn sits across the Barrow and Gwinnett county line, so we confirm the correct permitting office for your address and handle the paperwork through final inspection.
Yes, and doing both together is usually the better path. Planning decking, hardscape, utilities, and shade structures alongside the pool avoids tearing up finished work later, keeps equipment access simple while the yard is already open, and produces a backyard that reads as one design.
