Ft. Mitchell is one of Kenton County's most established communities, with mature neighborhoods set into the hills just south of the river. Aquascapes Pools & Excavating builds custom inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools throughout Ft. Mitchell, keeping all excavation, equipment, and labor in-house — no subcontractors.
Older, well-built neighborhoods make for beautiful properties and complicated pool projects. Grade change is the norm rather than the exception, trees are mature, and the homes were built before anyone was thinking about getting an excavator into the back yard. Those are solvable problems — but only if the company doing the pool also does the digging and the wall work.
We have 24+ years of experience and 100+ pools installed, and we are locally owned, licensed, and insured. We build both vinyl and fiberglass, so the answer you get is about your lot rather than our product line — and on a constrained hillside lot, having both options genuinely changes what is possible.
Drainage deserves particular attention on Kenton County slopes. Water moves fast downhill, and a pool and deck set into a grade will redirect it unless the design accounts for that from the start. Since we do the grading and the wall work ourselves, we plan drainage as part of the build rather than reacting to it after the first heavy rain.
Kenton County residential permits are handled by Planning & Development Services of Kenton County, which operates a one-stop permitting process and publishes a residential pool checklist covering barrier and inspection requirements. We handle the permitting and work directly with PDS so you are not navigating it.
It is a design consideration, not a barrier. Retaining walls and terracing are our own in-house work, which is what makes hillside pools affordable rather than exotic.
Usually. We assess access before quoting and size the equipment accordingly. Where access is very tight, a custom vinyl build often works when a fiberglass shell cannot be delivered.
We do. Kenton County permits run through Planning & Development Services of Kenton County, and we manage the process including the required safety barrier.
More site work than a flat lot, so excavation, walls, and drainage carry more of the total. We quote after seeing the property and give you itemized numbers up front.
