How it works
Our process in Wake Forest.
Consultation & site visit
We visit your Wake Forest property to evaluate lot characteristics, mature tree placement, drainage patterns, and discuss your vision for the outdoor space.
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.

View full project galleryMature tree considerations
Many established Wake Forest neighborhoods feature mature hardwoods that provide beautiful shade but require careful root-zone protection during construction. CDG plans pool placement and excavation to preserve existing tree health.
Neighborhood character
Wake Forest homeowners value quality craftsmanship that complements the character of their neighborhood. CDG designs outdoor living spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home and landscape.
Permitting & HOA
Wake Forest pool permits are issued through the Town of Wake Forest permitting department rather than the county. CDG knows exactly who to contact in Wake Forest and manages the full application and inspections. Communities like Hasentree and Traditions also have architectural review requirements. CDG manages both processes.
