Custom pools + outdoor living near Lake Allatoona —
by the guy who shows up every day.
Lake Allatoona lots are often sloped, wooded, and built for the view. That takes a builder who plans grading and access early. Scott designs your pool with you, leads the build with the same crews, and stays close to the daily work. The team keeps your lake-area backyard moving toward first swim, not stuck behind a chain of hand-offs.
County permitted for your side of the lake. Scott handles permits and HOA papers.
Real builds, real timelines, real follow-through.
Antwan's 31-day build is not a slogan — it is a real RutherfordMade pool, tree removal to filled water, here in North Metro Atlanta. Scott tells homeowners where to spend and where to save before the contract, then keeps steady progress after it. See more finished projects on the gallery and more client stories on the results page.
"From day one, which was tree removal to the day we filled the pool was exactly 31 days. I've heard of 3-4 months minimum for a pool install."Antwan D.Custom pool build · North Metro Atlanta
"He told us where it was worth spending extra and where we could save — and I appreciated that honesty. Our pool came in on budget and on time."Hannah & RobbyCustom pool · North Metro Atlanta
You want the summer back, not the 5-month industry average.
45-day build target
Most RutherfordMade builds finish in 45 to 60 days from ground-break. That is much faster than the 5-month industry average many homeowners hear. The key is not magic. It is tight scheduling and crews that know our way of building.
Built for sloped lots
Lake lots move. Scott plans grading, retaining walls, and access early so the pool and patio sit right and the view stays the star.
One backyard plan
The pool, patio, spa, grill zone, fire feature, and planting areas are planned together so the yard feels finished, not pieced together.
Custom pools, outdoor kitchens, fire, spas, and full backyards.
Lake Allatoona lots bring slope, trees, shoreline rules, and long views. We plan around all of it. The custom pool can be gunite, vinyl, or fiberglass. We can add a spa, tanning ledge, steps, water feature, patio, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, lighting, and landscape under one clean build plan. RutherfordMade is the outdoor living contractor Lake Allatoona homeowners call when the project is more than a pool — patio, kitchen, fire feature, and landscape in one plan.
County permitted across the lake area
The Lake Allatoona area touches Bartow, Cherokee, and Cobb counties. Scott pulls the right county permits for your side of the lake and handles HOA paperwork where it is needed. You do not chase the county or the board. That is part of the job.
