Aquascapes Pools & Excavating builds custom inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools throughout Highland County, including Hillsboro, Greenfield, Leesburg, Lynchburg, and the Rocky Fork Lake area. We are family-owned, and we keep all excavation, equipment, and labor in-house — no subcontractors.
Highland County sits on the transition between the flat glaciated plains to the north and the Appalachian foothills to the south, and you can feel that shift as you move across the county. Northern townships give you workable, gently rolling farm ground. Head south and east toward Rocky Fork and Paint Creek and the terrain gets serious — real grade change, ravines, and clay that demands respect. Both are buildable. They just are not the same project.
We also serve Greenfield, Leesburg, Lynchburg, Rocky Fork Lake, and the surrounding townships. Neighboring counties are covered too — see Brown County and Adams County.
We bring 24+ years of experience and 100+ pools installed, and we are locally owned, licensed, and insured. Because we install both vinyl and fiberglass — not fiberglass only, like most builders in the region — the recommendation you get is based on your yard rather than on what we happen to sell.
Around Rocky Fork Lake in particular, properties often combine the two things that most often stop a pool project: slope and trees. Our own excavation crew, our own retaining wall work, and our own clearing equipment mean we can take a wooded hillside and turn it into a level, finished pool area — and price the whole thing as one job rather than as a pool quote plus a series of site-work surprises.
Requirements depend on where you are: properties inside Hillsboro city limits go through the city, while township and rural addresses follow county requirements. Ohio also mandates a safety barrier around residential inground pools. We handle the permitting process and the coordination either way.
Yes — Hillsboro and the surrounding townships, Greenfield, Leesburg, Lynchburg, and the properties around Rocky Fork and Paint Creek.
That is one of the things we do best. Clearing, excavation, grading, and retaining walls are all in-house, so a difficult site is a planning exercise rather than a reason to decline the job.
Both work. Fiberglass needs truck access for the shell, which is worth checking on long rural or lakeside drives. Vinyl offers full shape flexibility and a lower starting cost. We assess access and terrain before recommending either.
Site work. On level ground the pool itself dominates the cost; on sloped or wooded ground, excavation, walls, and drainage become a real share of it. That is exactly why we quote after an on-site visit rather than over the phone.
