Custom Pool Features Built for North Georgia Backyards

A pool is only as enjoyable as the space built around it. Homeowners throughout Ball Ground, Canton, and the surrounding foothills are asking for more than a basic rectangle of water: they want tanning ledges for the kids, a waterfall to listen to at night, and lighting that makes the pool usable well after sunset.

A&E Pool Contractors designs pool features and outdoor living upgrades that turn a standard swimming pool into a backyard destination. Whether you're building a new pool or adding features to an existing one, our team plans every detail so the finished result looks intentional, not bolted on.

From waterfall installation and diving boards to outdoor fireplaces and custom pool lighting, we handle design, construction, and finishing work as one coordinated project. You get a single point of contact and a crew that understands how each feature ties back into your pool's structure and equipment.

Our Process

Our Process for Adding Pool Features and Outdoor Living Spaces

Adding features to an existing pool, or designing them into new construction, takes careful planning around your pool's structure, plumbing, and electrical systems. Here's how we approach every project.

  • Step 1: On-site consultation and design

    We walk your property, discuss how your family uses the backyard, and identify which features fit your space, budget, and existing pool structure.

  • Step 2: Engineering and feature layout

    Our team maps out plumbing runs for waterfalls, electrical for lighting and fireplaces, and structural changes needed for tanning ledges or diving boards.

  • Step 3: Construction and installation

    Skilled crews build each feature to match your pool's existing finish and contours, coordinating excavation, forming, and finish work so everything blends together.

  • Step 4: Testing, water balancing, and final walkthrough

    Before we finish, we test new equipment, balance your water chemistry, and walk the finished space with you to confirm everything works and looks the way you pictured it.

  • Logan Shaw 2 months ago
    We worked with Joe from the initial consultation through the entire construction process, and I can’t say enough good things about his company’s values and professionalism. They consistently did exactly what they said they would do, communicated promptly, and provided all the documentation our HOA required to ensure a smooth approval process. Our installation was completed by Joe and his team, and they were outstanding. They were friendly, professional, easy to work with, and offered great recommendations throughout the project. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality really stood out beyond our expectations. Overall, this was an excellent experience from start to finish. 10/10 — I would absolutely recommend A&E Pool Contractors!

    Very prompt and professional service with regard to replacing our pool liner. It looks great and can’t wait to get in with the hot weather coming. Joe also helped us get a specialist in fiberglass step repair instead of replacing them. Again, these guys are professional and they know what they’re doing. Would definitely recommend A&E Pool Contractors for ANY of your pool needs!

    Got my vinyl liner replaced way faster than I expected. The team was so polite and Joe was very responsive. The price was very fair compared to what some of my neighbors and friends have paid.

    I can’t say enough great things about A&E Pool Contractor! After having a terrible experience with a previous contractor who left my pool liner project incomplete, I was honestly frustrated and hesitant to trust another company. But from the very beginning, A&E completely turned that experience around. They provided a clear and fair estimate, gave me a realistic timeframe, and most importantly met every single deadline they set. That alone was a huge relief. Joe was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, always quick to answer questions and keep me updated. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and their professionalism really stood out. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. I’ve already recommended them to several friends in my neighborhood, and I would absolutely use them again. If you’re looking for reliability, quality, and great communication, A&E Pool Contractor is the way to go!
