For over 40 years, Aqua Fun Pools has helped Georgia homeowners create and care for pools that perfectly match their lifestyles. Whether you’re building a brand-new backyard oasis or maintaining one you already love, our team brings decades of experience, in-house craftsmanship, and personal service to every project. Explore our services below to discover what makes our pools — and our process — unlike anyone else’s.
The Three Types of Pools We Build
Gunite Pools – The Ultimate in Custom Craftsmanship!
Gunite pools are the gold standard of in-ground pool design — a fully custom, hand-crafted structure built to suit your exact vision and your unique landscape. Because gunite is a concrete blend applied on-site, the possibilities are almost limitless.
You can choose any size, depth, or shape, and integrate architectural details like tanning ledges, infinity edges, waterfalls, and raised spas that flow seamlessly into the design. Every gunite pool we build is designed from the ground up to be one of a kind — engineered for your yard, your lifestyle, and your long-term enjoyment.
The process begins with a detailed design consultation and 3D rendering. From there, our crew forms a steel rebar framework and applies gunite under high pressure, creating an exceptionally strong shell that becomes the foundation for your custom finish. You can choose from durable surfaces such as plaster, pebble, quartz, or all-tile interiors, each offering its own look and feel. This level of craftsmanship allows for perfect integration of other outdoor elements — decks, coping, stonework, and landscaping — to produce a backyard that looks cohesive and complete.
Beyond aesthetics, gunite pools are known for their longevity and structural integrity. With proper maintenance, a gunite pool can last half a century or more. The dense concrete structure resists ground movement, handles variable Georgia soils, and allows for easy resurfacing or updates down the road. Homeowners who invest in gunite often do so because they want a pool that can evolve with them — an asset that adds long-term value to their home and delivers decades of beauty and reliability.
Gunite pools do require more construction time and maintenance than fiberglass or vinyl, but most homeowners view that as a worthwhile trade-off for the freedom of complete customization. Weekly brushing and water balancing keep the surface pristine, and occasional resurfacing every 10-15 years keeps the finish looking brand new. When maintained properly, gunite pools age gracefully, developing character without losing performance.
Whether you want a contemporary geometric design, a natural lagoon with rock waterfalls, or a sophisticated resort-style pool with a built-in spa and LED lighting, gunite gives you the creative flexibility to bring any vision to life. It’s the preferred choice for homeowners who see their pool not just as a place to swim, but as an expression of their home’s architecture and their family’s lifestyle.
Best for:
Homeowners seeking a fully customized, long-term investment with high design flexibility and lasting value.
Aqua Fun Advantage:
We design and build every gunite pool in-house with our own craftsmen — no subcontracted crews — ensuring consistent quality, strong communication, and superior workmanship from start to finish.
Fiberglass Pools – Sleek, Strong, and Low-Maintenance!
If you want the perfect balance between beauty, durability, and convenience, a fiberglass pool may be your best fit. Fiberglass pools are pre-molded shells made in a factory and delivered in one piece to your home, ready to install.
That precision manufacturing means a perfectly smooth surface, seamless edges, and installation times measured in weeks, not months. Homeowners love fiberglass because it looks high-end, feels silky smooth, and requires minimal maintenance.
Fiberglass pools are constructed from layers of reinforced resin and fiberglass, finished with a glossy gel-coat surface that resists algae and staining. That non-porous finish keeps water chemistry balanced longer, meaning you’ll spend less time adjusting pH levels and adding chemicals. It also means the surface never needs resurfacing — just basic cleaning and periodic polishing to maintain the shine. This is one of the reasons fiberglass pools are known for their longevity; many last 25 years or more with minimal upkeep.
Another major advantage of fiberglass pools is energy efficiency. The smooth surface reduces friction for filtration systems, and the insulated shell helps maintain comfortable water temperatures. That combination lowers utility costs and keeps maintenance simple. Because the pool arrives as a single shell, installation is typically completed in 2-4 weeks — perfect for families who want to enjoy their new pool the same season they start building.
Modern fiberglass designs offer more customization than ever before. Manufacturers produce dozens of styles with integrated steps, benches, tanning ledges, and spill-over spas. While you can’t modify the shape once it’s built, you can choose from a wide range of models and colors to match your home’s aesthetic. Many homeowners complement fiberglass pools with travertine coping, composite decks, and smart LED lighting for a clean, modern look.
For those who want a pool that’s easy to live with, fiberglass delivers unmatched convenience. You’ll spend more time swimming and relaxing and less time managing maintenance or dealing with construction delays. It’s the best option for busy households that value reliability and efficiency without compromising on beauty.
Best for:
Families or homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, modern pool that installs quickly and lasts for decades.
Aqua Fun Advantage:
We work directly with top fiberglass manufacturers and handle all site preparation, installation, and plumbing in-house to ensure your new pool is level, leak-free, and built to last.
Affordable Liner Pools Customizable Family Fun
Vinyl-liner pools offer the perfect entry point into in-ground pool ownership — customizable, comfortable, and cost-effective. They provide a high-end look at a lower price point and can be tailored to fit nearly any yard size or design style.
A vinyl-liner pool consists of a reinforced steel or polymer frame fitted with a flexible vinyl liner that holds the water and creates the finished look. Because the liner is custom-cut to fit your pool’s shape, you can still enjoy many design options without the expense of concrete construction.
Homeowners love vinyl pools for their comfort underfoot — the liner surface is soft, smooth, and gentle on skin. Families with kids often choose vinyl because it’s forgiving, easy to clean, and visually inviting with its bright, sparkling blues. Liners come in dozens of patterns and color tones that mimic tile, stone, or mosaic finishes, allowing you to refresh your pool’s entire look every decade with a simple liner replacement.
Vinyl pools also allow more flexibility than most people realize. You can choose from rectangular, freeform, or kidney shapes and even incorporate steps, benches, and shallow play areas. Because the structure is built from modular wall panels, it can adapt to most backyards, including those with modest slopes or tight spaces. Installation usually takes 4–6 weeks, making it a great mid-range option between fiberglass and gunite timelines.
Maintenance for vinyl pools is straightforward. The liner’s smooth surface helps resist algae, though you’ll want to be careful with sharp objects and pet claws. With routine water balancing and gentle cleaning, a liner can last 10–15 years before replacement. When that time comes, replacing it is relatively quick and affordable, giving your pool a brand-new appearance.
Vinyl pools are the best choice for homeowners who want a beautiful, customizable pool experience without breaking the budget. They’re also ideal for those who plan to upgrade gradually — adding decking, lighting, or water features in later phases. The end result is a backyard centerpiece that feels personal, welcoming, and refreshingly easy to maintain.
Best for:
Budget-conscious families who want a fully featured pool with flexible design options and a soft, comfortable surface.
Aqua Fun Advantage:
We use high-grade vinyl liners and reinforced wall systems designed for Georgia’s climate, ensuring longevity, easy maintenance, and a stunning finish that lasts.

POOL CONSTRUCTION & BUYING GUIDE
The Complete Pool-Building Timeline: From Design to First Swim
After decades building pools across North Georgia, I’ve learned one thing: the best pool projects are the ones where homeowners know what’s coming next. So, let’s walk through the entire process together — from the first sketch to the first swim.
For most homeowners, building a swimming pool is both exciting and intimidating. You picture yourself swimming on a sunny Saturday afternoon, but then you start hearing words like “rebar,” “shotcrete,” and “startup chemistry,” and it starts to sound like building a small house. The truth is, a well-managed pool project is just a series of clear, predictable steps — and when you understand the order of things, the whole experience feels much less stressful.
