Took over a year to finish pool. During project, they were unresponsive and continue to be so despite a known leak that has been an issue since shell was poured. **★ — Rick Robinson, July 2017** > I would love to give them 5 stars. We started off with a great relationship, design and construction process. After being promised a 3 month completion dates and 6 months into the work, we are not done and Selective Designs, nor Georgia Pools is interested in resolution. While they are very knowledgeable, their team does not execute in a timely fashion or with the utmost professionalism after requiring and receiving substantial payments. > > Shane is an award-winning designer and will tout his accolades. But when this was turned over to his construction company, he lost credibility. **Comment from Selective Designs by Shane LeBlanc:** > Rick Sorry for your frustration. Since Selective Designs is strictly a design Business We can not help with your construction project. Ga pools strictly builds pools and not decks. Sorry they could not help with your deck project. **★★★★★ — Earlene Young, April 2017** > Shane at Selective Designs has a very unique eye for landscaping and for making my backyard become our Oasis that we never want to leave! He is very open and honest and listens to what you are looking for and sticks with the budget that fits our needs! We would totally recommend him!! **★★★★★ — Perry Gard, July 2016** > We had a much smaller budget in mind for a pool but we asked Shane to design something more significant. We fell in love with the design immediately and we were sold on the bigger project. Shane is creative and very knowledgeable. The entire staff at Selective Designs is very helpful too. **★★★★★ — Thrasher Pool and Spa, April 2016** > Shane LeBlanc designs some of the best pools and outdoor landscapes in the world. We are extremely lucky to have such a natural talent available in the Atlanta metro area. We have collaborated with Shane on numerous projects and our clients are always thrilled with his over the top ideas! **★★★★★ — cookinsac, Sept. 2015** > Professional, creative and responsive. > Shane is sensitive to customer objectives and budgets. It is great to work with a local company that is quickly building a national following. **★★★ — Kay Dube, June 2015** > We hired Selective Designs to design and build an outdoor living area with pool, fireplace, deck, etc. Designing was the easy part, and the end result is quite lovely. That said the project execution was painful and way more difficult than necessary extending beyond six months for a modest project with ongoing construction details/ issues still remaining today. Shifting their focus to customer service, (e.g., returning customer calls/emails, organizational improvement, employee project management training, professionalism and follow-through such as showing up when promised,etc,) could turn Selective Designs into a five star company some day. For now Selective Designs is stretched beyond their capacity and more focused on selling new designs than they are delivering results and setting expectations to existing customers. **★★★★★ — Sara Johnson, Jan. 2014** > They worked with me to stay within my budget and the improvements they made to my front yard are amazing. My house has such curb appeal now! I couldn't be happier. **★★★★★ — gathymes, Sept. 2013** > We were more than satisfied with the job done! They took my muddy backyard and turned it into something worthy of Southern Living Magazine! > > My husband wanted a water feature and they gave us two mountain streams with waterfalls that joined at the bottom. The landscaping and lighting added such a wonderful touch. They were mindful that we lived in a town home and needed to be considerate of our neighbors. All the workers were considerate and professional. > > The job was done on time and within our budget! I am looking forward to doing my front yard next spring! **★★★★★ — jmallett1, July 2013** > Selective Designs designed and installed our pool over two years ago. They were very competitively priced and we were very happy with the end result! We have had no major problems and they were very attentive to the very small ones that did occur. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a pool or outdoor living area at their home. > > Debbie Mallett > Fayetteville, Georgia **★★★★★ — ptcpeach, June 2013** > Selective Designs has almost completed our new pool and outdoor living space. > It is a beautiful custom design by Shane LeBlanc, including a large travertine patio, a spa with three spillways into pool, a raised circular patio and a stream and waterfall into the pool with natural boulders. All work has been ontime, even coming in possibly 3- 4 weeks earlier than expected. The staff is wonderful, very knowledgeable and accommodating to changes we have made along the way. Their craftsmen are skilled professionals who are hard working and dedicated to perfection. We cannot wait to see the final product!! **★★★★★ — dsojr72, June 2013** > We hired Selective Designs to design and build a new backyard. The final result was a new two-level deck with a full covered roof, a large outdoor patio with a 45,000 gallon custom designed pool and new landscaping. Given the size of the project and the complexity - we prepared ouselves for the process. From start to finish it took 6 weeks! It wasn't a rush job either - we had several days during the process get devoted to breaking down pavers or stonework that Shane felt needed to be redone (attention to quality was amazing). > > What impressed us most in working with Shane and Selective designs was the quality of design (truly world-class) the attention to quality, and the quality and professionalism of his staff. So many times, you can encounter subs/groups of workers that are difficult to deal with - not with Selective Designs - the entire outfit is sharp, professional, and very good at what they do. > > Our custom fireplace with water feature (rain curtain) is stunning! We routinely have at least 1 person per week knock on our door and compliment us on the back yard and ask to see it in detail - as they consider a similar project for their own home. These are our neighboors - and since the completion of our pool I know at least 4 others are underway. > > Shane is truly gifted and talented at what he does - his vision and the end result have been delightful. If you want world-class design, world-class quality, and a company that will give you complete peace of mind during the process (due to their attention to you and their responsiveness) - hire Selective Designs. ## Selected projects - [Black Reflective Infinity Edge Contemporary Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-reflective-infinity-edge-contemporary-pool-pj-vj~167662) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: infinity, pool, perimeter overflow pool, beautiful pool, landscape designer, pool designer, atlanta pool designer, custom pool builder, top pool builder, atlanta landscape designer, infinity pool, beautiful pools,Shane Leblanc, selective designs, - [Eversall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eversall-pj-vj~2603470) - Location: Natchitoches, LA - Photos: 5 - [Rustic Pool with Incredible Sunken Patio & Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-pool-with-incredible-sunken-patio-and-fire-pit-pj-vj~688576) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 6 - Description: Rustic Pool with Incredible Sunken Patio & Fire Pit - [Mediterranean Negative Edge Pool & Outdoor Entertainment Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mediterranean-negative-edge-pool-and-outdoor-entertainment-area-pj-vj~167667) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: Pool perimeter overflow ,pool, waterfall, spa waterfall, blue lagoon, oasis, bar stools, under water bar, pool bar, pool house, custom pool designer, outdoor fireplace, landscape, outdoor chairs, glass tile, blue pool tile, beautiful pools, cabana - [Timeless Backyard Full Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-backyard-full-remodel-pj-vj~1939727) - Location: Peachtree City, GA - Photos: 5 - [Contemporary Perimeter Overflow Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-perimeter-overflow-pool-pj-vj~688566) - Location: New Orleans, LA - Photos: 5 - Description: Contemporary Perimeter Overflow Pool - [Country Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-estate-pj-vj~2197731) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 5 - [Montana Getaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montana-getaway-pj-vj~2197809) - Location: Chattanooga, TN - Photos: 5 - [Estate Living \| Expansive Backyard Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/estate-living-expansive-backyard-retreat-pj-vj~167679) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: outdoor living, grass patio, estate, estate living, pergola, pool house, arbor, outdoor fireplace, roses, white,landscape designer, atlanta landscape designer,georgia landscape architect, gates, - [Rustic Pool with Spa Waterfall & Swim Up Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-pool-with-spa-waterfall-and-swim-up-bar-pj-vj~329388) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 3 - Description: pool, waterfall, spa waterfall, blue lagoon, oasis, bar stools, under water bar, pool bar, pool house, custom pool designer, outdoor fireplace, landscape, outdoor chairs, glass tile, blue pool tile, beautiful pools, cabana - [Steep Slope Infinity Pool with Seat Wall & Fire Pit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steep-slope-infinity-pool-with-seat-wall-and-fire-pit-pj-vj~1939745) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: Buckhead Steep Slope Infinity Pool with Seat Wall & Fire Pit - [Serene Pool & Elevated Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/serene-pool-and-elevated-spa-pj-vj~285350) - Location: Sarasota, FL - Photos: 4 - Description: pool, waterfall, spa waterfall, blue lagoon, oasis, bar stools, under water bar, pool bar, pool house, custom pool designer, outdoor fireplace, landscape, outdoor chairs, glass tile, blue pool tile, beautiful pools, cabana, infinity pool, infinity pool designer, atlanta landscape designer, shane leblanc, pergola, outdoor patio - [Modern Backyard Retreat with Floating Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-backyard-retreat-with-floating-patio-pj-vj~1939760) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 5 - Description: Modern Backyard Retreat with Floating Patio - [Transitional Infinity Edge Pool & Outdoor Firewall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-infinity-edge-pool-and-outdoor-firewall-pj-vj~321952) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 3 - Description: Transitional Infinity Edge Pool & Outdoor Firewall - [Fair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fair-pj-vj~2603482) - Location: New Orleans, LA - Photos: 4 - [Featured On HGTV Groundbreakers \| Large Freeform Pool & Cabana](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/featured-on-hgtv-groundbreakers-large-freeform-pool-and-cabana-pj-vj~285352) - Location: atlanta, GA - Photos: 4 - Description: OUR ATLANTA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS CREATED AN OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE BIG ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE TWO LARGE FAMILIES This custom Selective Designs’ project was featured on the HGTV show, “Groundbreakers” due to its size and challenge.
