What Does a Custom Pool Really Cost in North Atlanta?
Most people start with one question: what is this going to cost me? Fair. Here is a straight answer. A custom RutherfordMade pool starts at $135,000, and a full outdoor-living backyard with pool, spa, kitchen, and fire feature runs higher. The range is wide because the pool is built for your yard, not pulled off a shelf.
Three things move the number most.
Size and shape
A small pool with a clean rectangle stays closer to the starting point. A freeform pool with a spa, tanning ledge, and waterfall moves up from there. The design session tells you what the specific shape will cost.
Features
A spa adds cost. A sunken outdoor kitchen adds cost. Fire features, water walls, custom lighting, and specialty tile all add cost. None of that is bad - it is good to know before you design around them.
Your site
What the yard needs before we pour matters. Slope, rock, access, trees, and drainage can all affect the prep work. We look at all of it before we give you a real number.
