Frequently asked

Pool builder FAQs for Five Points homeowners.

Is a plunge pool a good option for a Five Points yard?

Yes. Plunge pools are an excellent choice for compact Five Points lots. They provide the cooling relief and aesthetic of a pool in a smaller footprint, often 10–14 feet in length, and can be paired with an elegant patio surround for a complete outdoor living space.

How much does a plunge pool cost in Five Points?

Plunge pool installations in Five Points typically start around $65,000–$85,000 with a basic surround. Full projects including patio, landscaping, and lighting commonly range from $120,000 to $250,000.

Are there historic district restrictions on pools in Five Points?

Some Five Points area homes are in the Hayes Barton Historic District or other locally designated areas that require design review. CDG has experience navigating these processes and designs pools that meet review requirements while delivering an outstanding result.

Can you work around mature trees in my yard?

Yes. Five Points is known for its beautiful tree canopy. CDG plans pool placement and excavation to protect root zones of mature trees, and we can incorporate existing landscaping into the new outdoor living design.

Who handles permits for Five Points?

Five Points is within Raleigh city limits, so permits are processed through the City of Raleigh Inspections Department. CDG knows exactly who to contact at the City and manages the entire process from application through final inspection.
