Swimming Pool Builders in Buford, GA
When a backyard project reaches a certain scale, the contractor you choose matters as much as the design itself. Gunite pool construction, outdoor kitchens, hardscaping, landscaping — these are not isolated jobs. They are interconnected systems that require a builder who can manage all of it with consistency and accountability from start to finish. Legacy Pools has been doing exactly that in Buford for 22 years, bringing together custom pool building and full outdoor renovation under one experienced team.
Here is a look at the custom pool and outdoor living services Legacy Pools provides in Buford:
- Custom Gunite Pool Construction

Every project starts with a detailed conversation about the property, the vision, and the practical realities of the site. From there, the design and build process is shaped around what that specific space calls for — not a pre-set package. If the goal is a fully realized outdoor living space built to last, that kind of process is what gets it there.

A Process Built for Projects That Cannot Afford Mistakes
Custom pool construction involves a long sequence of decisions, materials, and tradespeople that all have to work together. In Buford, properties come with their own challenges — grade changes, soil conditions, drainage considerations, and site constraints that generic builders are not equipped to handle. Legacy Pools manages every phase in-house, from the first site evaluation through final water fill, so nothing gets handed off and nothing falls through the gaps.
How a Custom Pool Build Actually Works, From Ground to Water
Each step in the build sequence is planned before excavation ever begins, and adjusted as conditions on the ground require.
- Site evaluation and design consultation to assess the property, identify constraints, and align on a design that works with the lot
- Excavation performed with care to establish the correct depth, shape, and foundation for the structure
- Plumbing and steel framework installed to meet load and flow requirements specific to the design
- Shotcrete applied to form a solid, long-lasting shell that holds its shape over time
- Tile selection and installation to finish interior surfaces with materials chosen for both durability and appearance
- Coping installed along the pool edge using materials such as flagstone, travertine, or bullnose depending on the design
- Decking constructed with concrete, pavers, or stone to create a functional surround that integrates with the rest of the outdoor space
- Equipment installation including pumps, filters, and heaters configured for the specific volume and use of the pool
- Pebble finish applied to the interior surface to provide texture, color, and long-term performance
- Water fill and final inspection completed to verify all systems are operating correctly before the project is closed out
From excavation through final inspection, the work follows a defined sequence with clear handoffs between trades. That structure is what keeps a complex build on track and delivers a finished pool that holds up season after season.
Inground Pool Builders in Buford
A custom in-ground pool is one of the few home investments that actually changes how you use your property — not just how it looks. Done right, it fits the natural grade of your yard, works with your existing landscape, and holds up for decades without becoming a maintenance burden. Done wrong, it becomes exactly that. The difference comes down to who designs and builds it.
Legacy Pools builds custom in-ground pools in Buford with a process that covers everything from initial design through final inspection. Each pool is drawn around the specific dimensions, drainage conditions, and layout of the property — no standard packages, no one-size approach. Most builds are completed within 8 to 12 weeks, depending on design complexity and site conditions, and clients stay informed throughout every phase.
Here is why homeowners in Buford choose Legacy Pools for their in-ground pool build:
- Fully custom design options including freeform and geometric shapes, integrated spas, waterfalls, and swim-up features
- Energy-efficient LED lighting and automated control systems built into the design from the start
- Site-specific planning that accounts for slope, drainage, mature trees, and lot constraints
- Transparent timeline and communication from permit to final walkthrough
- Long-term durability with materials and construction methods built to hold up through years of use
A pool built this way adds real, lasting value to the property. If the project is ready to move forward, the next step is a consultation to assess the site and start putting a design together.
Pool Remodeling Services
A pool that looked great ten years ago can start to show its age in ways that are hard to ignore. Cracked surfaces, outdated equipment, and a layout that no longer fits how you actually use the space are all signs that a remodel is worth serious consideration. Pool remodeling in Buford is one of the most practical ways to extend the life of an existing pool while bringing it in line with what you actually want from your outdoor space.
The process covers more than cosmetics. Surface materials like pebble and quartz finishes restore structural integrity along with appearance. Equipment upgrades, including pumps, heaters, and filtration systems, improve efficiency and reduce long-term operating costs. Layout changes, whether adding a tanning ledge, a spa, or updated decking, can make a pool that felt dated feel purpose-built for how the space gets used today.
Here is why homeowners in Buford choose Legacy Pools for pool remodeling:
- Custom scope built around your existing pool and property, not a preset package
- Surface and finish options selected for durability and long-term appearance
- Equipment upgrades that lower energy use without sacrificing performance
- Feature additions, water elements, lighting systems, and decking, integrated into a cohesive design
- Clear communication from assessment through completion
- 22 years of hands-on experience with pools of all sizes and conditions
A remodel done right does not just restore a pool. It extends its useful life, improves how it functions day to day, and adds real value to the property. The materials and methods used in the rebuild determine how long those results hold up.
If the pool you have is not the pool you want, Legacy Pools can walk through what a remodel would actually involve for your specific situation. Reach out to get started.
Custom Water Features
A pool without water features is just a pool. In Buford, where outdoor living is a year-round priority, the details are what separate a well-built space from one that actually gets used. The right water features make a pool more functional, more visually interesting, and more enjoyable for the people who use it most.
Legacy Pools designs and installs custom water features that are built to fit your property, your pool, and how you actually use the space. The process starts with a consultation, moves through a detailed design phase, and ends with a clean installation handled by an experienced crew. Every feature is spec'd to work with your existing or planned pool layout, whether that means integrating a waterfall into a natural stone finish or running deck jets along a modern tile edge.
Here is what Buford homeowners get when they work with our team on water features:
- Custom slides designed for all ages, built into the pool structure rather than bolted on
- Swim-up bars that extend the usability of the pool without adding a separate structure
- Waterfalls in multiple styles, sourced in natural stone or tile to match your design
- Grottos built into the pool shell for a recessed, sheltered spot off the main swim area
- Deck jets and sheer descents for visual movement and sound without major construction
- Bubblers and fountains sized for shallow zones, benches, and tanning ledges
- Pool coping in a range of materials and finishes to define and protect the pool edge
With 22 years working in the Buford market, Legacy Pools brings the kind of project experience that makes complex builds more predictable. Many of these features can also be added to an existing pool, so a full rebuild is not always necessary to get the result you are looking for.
If the goal is a pool that works harder and holds up longer, the next step is a conversation about what that looks like for your specific property.
