Your custom pool.
Built from scratch in North Metro Atlanta in 45 days.
I design it with you in the yard. I build it with the same trusted crews. The team keeps the work tight so your home does not sit in a dusty mess all summer. You get a pool that fits your yard, your view, and the way your family wants to live outside.
Every quote feels made up. Every build sounds like five months. No one can say who is on-site.
The design feels copied
You do not want a pool that could fit any yard. You want the steps, shelf, spa, view, and patio to match the way you live.
The number keeps moving
A low quote feels good for one week. Then the hole is open and the extras start. We put the price lock in writing before we dig.
The owner disappears
You should not have to chase a sales rep for answers. Scott designs the project, leads the crews, and is on-site for the calls that matter.
A contractor can coordinate trades. Scott designs the pool and leads the build.
When you search for a pool contractor in North Metro Atlanta, you are usually trying to find one person who owns the whole job. You do not want a sales handoff, a loose crew list, and a yard full of questions. You want one call. You want the person who drew the plan to understand the dig, the permits, the shell, the patio, the equipment, and the final water line.
That is why RutherfordMade works differently. I design the pool with you in the yard. I build it with the same specialized crews. The team handles excavation, permits, construction, hardscape, outdoor living, and startup under one contract. If the project also needs an outdoor kitchen, spa, patio, fire feature, or retaining wall, it stays in the same plan instead of becoming a second job bolted on later.
This matters most once the ground is open. Small choices can affect drainage, steps, coping, seating, and how the pool feels from the back door. Scott is the designer, project lead, and your one call. That is the difference between hiring a pool contractor who manages pieces and hiring a custom pool builder who carries the whole backyard from first sketch to first swim.
One team, one contract
Permits, excavation, pool construction, patio work, equipment, and finish details stay under one scope. You are not trying to stitch together five separate jobs.
One owner on-site
Scott walks the yard, explains the tradeoffs, leads the crews, and keeps the work connected to the design you approved.
Scott walks the yard, draws the plan, then leads the same crews from dig to first swim.
Every custom pool starts in your yard, not on a sales sheet. Scott looks at slope, drainage, sun, trees, access, and the view from your back door. The consultation also checks equipment location, construction timing, and permit needs before you decide. Then the team builds the pool around the life you want outside. That may mean a quiet tanning ledge for mornings, a spa that spills into the pool, a deep end for kids, or a full outdoor kitchen that turns dinner into the reason people stay.
Walk the yard
I measure the space, read the grade, and listen first. Your pool should solve your yard, not fight it.
Show the design
You see the shape, water line, tile, deck, spa, and features before the shovel hits dirt.
Lead the build
The same specialized crews handle excavation, steel, shell, plumbing, deck, finish, and startup. Scott stays close to the job.
Hand you the water
Most builds finish in 45 to 60 days from ground-break. Antwan D. in Woodstock finished in 31 days.
Gunite, vinyl, or fiberglass — which one is right for your yard?
Scott will not push one shell just because it is easy to sell. We talk through the yard, the look, and how long you plan to stay in the home.
Gunite
Gunite is a concrete pool shell sprayed over steel. It is best when you want a custom shape, spa, tanning ledge, deep end, or water feature. It gives the most design freedom.
Vinyl
Vinyl uses a liner inside a framed pool. It can fit some budgets and some yards well. Scott will explain the liner care and design limits in plain words.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass comes as a pre-made shell. It can move fast when access is simple and the shape fits. It is not right for every site, so we check that first.

The promise is not a handshake. It goes on paper.
Every build includes 12 written guarantees. The big ones are simple: Lifetime Structural Warranty, Price Lock Guarantee, 10-Year Leak-Free Guarantee, and one-year worry-free service on equipment, patio surfaces, and tile. If you want to make the project move sooner, $0 down financing is available.
Price Lock
Once we agree on the plan, the price is locked. No surprise costs after the hole is open.
Lifetime Structural
The pool shell is built to last, and the structural warranty is for life.
10-Year Leak-Free
Your pool is guaranteed leak-free for 10 years. That promise matters after the first summer.
