Why Traditions Homeowners Choose Sandals Luxury Pools
Homes in Traditions of Braselton, across neighborhoods like Augusta, Turnberry, The Links, and St. Andrews, sit on generous lots built for outdoor living. Sandals Luxury Pools has spent over a decade crafting custom in-ground pools for exactly these kinds of properties, any size, shape, or design. As a full-service luxury pool builder, Sandals handles your pool, spa, water features, and hardscapes under one agreement, so you never coordinate multiple contractors across your own backyard. BBB Accredited and Houzz-listed, this is a builder with a verifiable record in your region.
Your Dream Pool Awaits
Gunite Pool Construction Built for Georgia’s Climate
North Georgia summers arrive early and stay long, which means your pool sees real use from late April through October. Gunite pool construction is the right choice for this climate, a concrete shell sprayed under pressure that holds any shape your design calls for and resists the ground movement common in Jackson County’s clay-heavy soils. Sandals follows a six-step build sequence, form and excavate, shotcrete, tile and stone, deck and pebble, fill and startup, then clean-up, so every stage is predictable and accountable from the first shovel to your first swim.
Complete Pool Design Services for Your Specific Lot
Golf-course and lake-view lots throughout Traditions require a design eye that accounts for sight lines, grade changes, and HOA architectural review standards. Sandals Luxury Pools brings a collaborative, client-involved pool design process to every project, working with you to plan infinity edges, lagoon shapes, sun shelves, grottos, or integrated spa layouts that fit your property precisely. Neighboring communities like Hoschton and surrounding Hoschton-area homeowners have trusted this same design-forward approach for years.

Water Features That Complement Your Outdoor Setting
Traditions of Braselton properties backing to the golf course or community lakes have a natural backdrop that pairs beautifully with moving water. Sandals builds natural waterfalls, sheer descents, deck jets, bubblers, and fire and water bowls that create sound, movement, and visual depth after dark. These features are engineered into the pool structure itself, not bolted on afterward, so they perform reliably for years without the maintenance headaches of aftermarket additions. The result is a cohesive water environment that feels like it grew from the land.
Our extensive pool installation process ensures that you save time, money, and the headache of hiring multiple contractors. This approach works well, regardless of the project size. Take a look at the process!
Spillover Spas and Hardscapes for Year-Round Use
Georgia winters are mild enough that a well-heated outdoor space can be enjoyed almost every month of the year. A spillover spa integrated into your pool design extends that window significantly, and Sandals can retrofit one to an existing pool if you already have a pool without a spa. Beyond the water, the team builds outdoor kitchens, fire pits, custom patios, retaining walls, and outdoor fireplaces, everything needed to create an entertaining space that works from January through December on your Traditions lot.
Pool Maintenance and Seasonal Care Near Braselton
Owning a pool inside a community with a Jr. Olympic pool and splash zone means your private pool competes for attention, so keeping it pristine matters. Sandals Luxury Pools offers pool cleaning, ongoing maintenance, seasonal opening, and closing service to homeowners throughout Traditions of Braselton and surrounding Jackson County communities. If you moved into a home with an older or neglected pool, the team also provides pool inspection and repair services to get it back to full working order quickly.
Yes. Sandals Luxury Pools manages the permitting process for pool and hardscape construction in Jackson County, including the submittals required by local building authorities. Traditions of Braselton also has an Architectural Review Board that must approve exterior changes, and Sandals can provide the design documentation typically needed for that review. Call (770) 771-1839 to discuss your specific lot situation before breaking ground.
In many cases, yes. Sandals Luxury Pools assesses existing pool structure, plumbing, and equipment before recommending a course of action. A spillover spa can often be retrofitted to an existing gunite pool with a new bond beam and updated equipment, avoiding a full rebuild. The exact scope depends on your current pool’s age, shell condition, and equipment capacity. A pool inspection is the right first step to get a firm answer.
Lots that border the Traditions Golf and Country Club fairways typically feature open rear yard lines and long sight lines. Infinity-edge and geometric designs work particularly well because they frame the view rather than compete with it. Sandals Luxury Pools designs custom shapes for each specific lot, accounting for grade, setbacks, and the direction the pool faces relative to the course. Your design session starts with the land, not a catalog.
A standard custom gunite pool build in the Braselton and Jefferson area generally runs 10 to 16 weeks from permit approval to final startup, depending on project complexity, weather, and material lead times. Builds that include extensive hardscapes, outdoor kitchens, or large water features may run longer. Sandals Luxury Pools walks clients through a realistic timeline during the design phase so scheduling expectations are clear before construction begins.
Pool lighting and automation are among the features buyers notice most during home tours. LED pool lighting and a smart automation system allow remote control of temperature, lighting, and water features, which is a compelling selling point in a community where home prices in neighborhoods like Turnberry reach into the high $700,000s. These upgrades typically add perceived value well above their installation cost in this market.
The answer depends on the shell condition, plumbing integrity, and equipment age of the existing pool. Sandals Luxury Pools offers professional pool inspection and can advise whether pool renovation, including resurfacing and equipment replacement, makes more financial sense than a new build. Homes in The Links section vary in age, so a proper assessment is always the right starting point rather than guessing from the surface condition alone.
Clay-heavy soils common across Jackson County, including areas near Jackson Trail Road, can expand and contract seasonally, putting stress on decking and coping. Sandals Luxury Pools uses proper compaction techniques and selects coping and deck materials suited to local soil behavior during the build. If settling or cracking occurs post-build, the team provides pool repair and coping repair services to address structural concerns before they worsen.
Sandals Luxury Pools builds for both residential and commercial clients, including short-term rental properties and hospitality-adjacent properties near Braselton. The firm handles any size and shape and builds to code requirements appropriate for guest-use pools. Owners of properties near Chateau Elan and throughout the greater Braselton area have used Sandals for guest-ready pool and outdoor living builds. Contact the team to discuss your specific property and use case.
Sandals Luxury Pools partners with Lyon Financial to offer pool financing options for qualified buyers. Lyon Financial specializes in home improvement and pool loans, typically offering fixed-rate unsecured options that do not require a home equity line. This allows Traditions homeowners to move forward with a custom build without tying up home equity. Your Sandals project coordinator can connect you with Lyon Financial during the design and quote phase.
Yes. Saltwater pool systems are a popular choice for Traditions of Braselton homeowners who want softer water and reduced reliance on manual chlorine dosing. Saltwater systems perform well in North Georgia’s climate and are a practical fit for larger custom pools where consistent water chemistry matters. Sandals installs and calibrates salt chlorine generators as part of new builds and can retrofit them to existing pools during renovation work.
