Hillsboro is the Highland County seat and the commercial center for a wide stretch of southern Ohio. Aquascapes Pools & Excavating builds custom inground vinyl liner and fiberglass pools in Hillsboro and the surrounding townships, and we handle every part of the job in-house — our own excavation, our own equipment, our own crew, no subcontractors.
Backyards here vary more than people expect. Established neighborhoods in town come with mature trees, settled grade, and access that needs planning. Newer construction on the edges gives you open, level ground. And the properties out toward Rocky Fork Lake bring slope, woods, and views worth designing around. We build across all three, and the right approach genuinely differs.
We have 24+ years of experience, 100+ pools installed, and we are locally owned, licensed, and insured. We install both vinyl and fiberglass, so you get a genuine comparison rather than a pitch for one product.
Hillsboro is a real drive from our Morrow base, and we are straightforward about that. What makes it work is how we run a job: our own crew and equipment arrive and stay on task in concentrated stretches, rather than the stop-start rhythm you get when a pool company is waiting on an outside excavator to have a free week. On a longer haul, that discipline is what keeps a schedule honest.
Properties inside Hillsboro city limits permit through the city; addresses outside follow Highland County and township requirements. Ohio requires a safety barrier around residential inground pools either way. We handle the permitting process and coordinate with the right office so you are not making the calls.
Yes. Highland County is a regular part of our service area. We plan the logistics into the schedule rather than treating it as an afterthought, and we will be candid at the consultation about timing.
Yes — and those lots are often the most rewarding. Slope and trees are handled with our own clearing, excavation, and retaining wall work rather than subbed out.
Fiberglass is quick to install and easy to maintain but limited to factory shapes and needs delivery access. Vinyl is fully custom and starts lower. Since we build both, we will recommend whichever genuinely suits your property.
We do, city or county, including the required safety barrier. It is part of the service, not an extra you are left to sort out.
