How it works
Our process in North Hills.
Consultation & site visit
We visit your Raleigh property to assess the lot, discuss your vision, and evaluate urban site considerations including access, setbacks, neighboring structures, and drainage.
3D design
We create a full 3D design of your project — pool, patio, landscaping, and lighting — so you see every detail before construction begins.
Construction
Fiberglass pool installs typically take 6–10 weeks from permit approval. Full outdoor living projects including hardscape and landscaping run 3–5 months.

In-town Raleigh lots are often compact with narrow side yards and close setbacks. CDG specializes in designing pools and outdoor living spaces that maximize every square foot while maintaining an elegant, proportioned result.

Many North Hills area projects involve new construction or major renovations. CDG coordinates with your general contractor and architect to integrate the pool and outdoor living design into the overall project timeline.
City of Raleigh permitting
In-town Raleigh properties are permitted through the City of Raleigh Inspections Department. CDG works directly with the City inspectors — we know exactly who to contact — and manages plan submission, reviews, and all inspections end to end.

Frequently asked
Pool builder FAQs for North Hills homeowners.
Can a pool fit on a typical North Hills lot?
Yes. CDG specializes in designing pools for compact, in-town lots. We use precise 3D modeling to ensure the pool, patio, and landscaping are proportioned correctly for your specific yard dimensions. Fiberglass pools are particularly well-suited to urban settings because of their efficient footprint.
How much does a pool cost in North Hills / in-town Raleigh?
In-town Raleigh pool projects typically start around $80,000–$100,000 due to urban site access considerations. Full outdoor living projects with pool, patio, and landscape design commonly range from $175,000 to $400,000+.
Who handles permits for in-town Raleigh properties?
Properties within Raleigh city limits are permitted through the City of Raleigh Inspections Department rather than Wake County. CDG knows exactly who to contact at the City and manages the entire process including plan submission, reviews, and all required inspections.
Can CDG coordinate with my builder or architect on a teardown/rebuild?
Absolutely. CDG regularly coordinates with general contractors and architects on new construction and major renovation projects. We integrate pool and outdoor living design into the overall project timeline and site plan.
