Read the slope before choosing the pool
The best shell location depends on grade, access, retaining, and the walk from the house—not only the open part of the yard.

Local project planning
Stone & Paver Patios in Cumming, GA designed around the property’s access, grade, drainage, circulation, structure, and complete outdoor-living plan.
Built for Cumming
Many Cumming yards need more than a pool shell. Slope, retaining, and drainage often shape the job, so we solve those pieces with the pool and deck—not after them.
A good patio starts below the pavers. The base, grade, edges, and drainage decide whether it stays flat and sheds water.
We also pay attention to the places people notice every day: doors, steps, pool edges, walkways, and the handoff to the landscape.
Local planning
The Franklin Goldmine Road home base puts Chris close to the Forsyth County properties where slope, access, and water frequently shape the entire job.
The best shell location depends on grade, access, retaining, and the walk from the house—not only the open part of the yard.
Collection points, pipes, swales, and discharge all have to work after new decks and walls change the surface.
Excavation, walls, utilities, decking, and landscape restoration need a build order that does not trap equipment or damage finished work.
Complete scope
Stone or paver layout and material planning
Excavation and base preparation
Drainage and elevation coordination
Edges, steps and transitions in the agreed design
Before final scope
Demolition, base repairs, and material lead times affect the schedule. We do not rush the preparation just to start laying the visible surface sooner.
Project questions
Yes. Material recommendations depend on the design, budget, maintenance expectations and surrounding architecture.
Often. The team evaluates whether grade, base failure, drain capacity or an upstream runoff source is causing the problem.
Yes. Pool coping, deck, steps, walls and drainage are best coordinated as one elevation plan.
