Lower Richland’s Unique Terrain and Water Tables

30+ Years of Elite Pool Design and Master Installation

Building a pool on large rural property near the Congaree basin presents distinct environmental challenges. Hopkins properties often contend with higher water tables, swampy local creek run-offs, and dense, loamy clay. Without highly specialized engineering, groundwater pressure can easily cause a pool liner to float or a foundation to settle unevenly.

That is where our expertise shines. When handling inground pool installation in Hopkins, Juliano’s Pools brings heavy-duty, in-house excavation equipment and decades of site grading experience. We never use subcontractors. Our dedicated crews install advanced hydrostatic relief valves and deep subterranean drainage beds beneath your pool, ensuring that heavy South Carolina rains and local groundwater never compromise your investment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was looking for a good pool service who could replace my pool liner.   Juliano's had the highest rating I have seen across pool companies in the area.  After reading the reviews, I contacted Scott and he came out and looked at the pool (sports pool) and provided an estimate and next steps if I were to proceed. I wanted to do it after swimming season was over so I waited 3 months and called Scott stating that I'd like to proceed. I can't say enough about the workers who came out and removed the old liner, patched, leveled, sanded and sealer the foundation then installed the new liner.   They were quick and efficient and always willing to answer my questions (and I had quite a few). You can tell the quality of a company when things don't go so well and their response to issues.  I filled up my pool  after installation and noted a significant loss of water overnight.  Called Scott and the team came over the next day and found that the manufacturer had not sealed a seam correctly and there was a substantial hole that developed.   Scott immediately called the liner manufacturer and had them manufacture another one and send.   3 days later, the team was back out, removing the new liner they has just installed and installing the replacement liner. I also had them work on my sand filter as I was having an issue of sand entering my pool.  They found the issue, fixed it and provided me some tips on how to ensure that didn't happen again. I would recommend Julianos to anyone who has pool repair needs. Thanks Scott and team!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I very rarely do reviews, however I feel compelled to write on my experience with Scott and his crew. I needed a new liner, and Scott came right out and showed me my options and took a ton of measurements of the pool. (You can see the liner fits perfectly, like a glove). The crew came out and started to take out the liner when they found a very large amount of Moss growing under the old liner. They quickly scrapped it out and sprayed to keep it from coming back. They then smoothed out all the surface with a concrete type of material, then installed the liner. All in just one day. It was quite an undertaking especially as it was very hot. I want to thank the guys that did the job that day. Excellent crew, and is much appreciated.

As a business owner and having a home in Maryland and now on Lake Murray, I have never been more impressed with the service that Juliano's Pools provides. Our pool has never looked better and from service to support they exceed 5 stars! We have had bad experiences before, but this company is the real deal! Special shout out to Marissa who has been engaged with her team from day one! Love you guys!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Juliano's and had Marissa on the phone, she had Chuck Hutton at my place 2 days later. He assured me that we get back to the pool I had. Amazing work and knowledge. I was so happy with them. I can not even describe how happy I was with them. Always a open ear. I even texted Chuck outside of the work hours and he answered right back. I would always recommend them. Thank you so much Juliano's. Glad I called you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When other pool companies wouldn't call us back or answer our emails to replace the liner in our pool, Juliano's did.  They should have been my first call!  Scott and his team did a fantastic job installing new drainage in our pool and replacing the liner.  One thing about Juliano’s is they not only know pools; they know dirt.  We had horrible drainage issues around our pool causing the liner to float when we had heavy rain.   Scott engineered a system to move water from underneath our pool and it has worked to perfection.  Not only did they do a great job, Scott tried to get us a discount on the liner from the manufacturer as our pool was only 4 years old. Juliano’s is the only pool company in the Columbia area I trust to get the job done right while looking out for your money.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW! I’ve never had a company respond so quickly, but also provide such expertise and service. From Marissa having me scheduled within 24 hours of calling to Chuck Hutto’s service. He listened, acknowledged and went above and beyond in replacing the motor capacitor. He went a step beyond to seal a couple of small leaks and share his overall pool knowledge. This is my new pool service company!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build a massive pool to match my large rural property?

Absolutely. Large acreage is our favorite type of canvas! Because we aren’t restricted by tight suburban property lines in Hopkins, we can design expansive, custom-shaped pools with extensive decking that perfectly balances the scale of your land.

Do I still need a building permit if I live outside the city limits in Hopkins?

Yes. Because Hopkins is a census-designated place within Richland County, all residential pool construction is governed by county building codes. We handle the submission of all structural plans and coordinate the necessary county inspections for you.

Are saltwater pools a good idea for properties with lots of surrounding trees and foliage?

Many of our rural clients prefer salt-chlorine generators. They provide incredibly soft water and require less manual chemical balancing, which is a huge time-saver if you are dealing with leaves or organic debris blowing into the water from nearby trees.

How do I start planning a pool for my property?

Give us a call or click the quote button on this page. We’ll drive out to your Hopkins property, evaluate your soil and terrain, discuss your vision, and draft a tailored 3D pool design.

Will the high water table near the Congaree basin ruin my vinyl liner?

Not when we build it. High groundwater is common in Lower Richland, which is why we engineer specialized French drains and hydrostatic relief valves under the pool. These systems automatically release ground pressure, keeping your liner firmly locked in place even during monsoon season.

Can you add a heating system so I can swim under the country stars in the fall?

Yes! We highly recommend adding an energy-efficient electric heat pump. The Hopkins area stays relatively mild in the autumn, and a good heater can comfortably extend your evening swims well into November.

Who is actually digging the hole in my yard?

Only our trusted, full-time employees. We are proudly a zero-subcontractor company. From operating the heavy excavators to meticulously fitting your vinyl liner, the Juliano’s Pools team handles every single step.
