Inground Vinyl Liner Pools
Create a stunning backyard centerpiece with a fully customizable inground vinyl liner pool. These pools offer design flexibility, smooth surfaces, and a comfortable swimming experience for the whole family.
Benefits of Vinyl Liner Pools:
- Custom shapes and sizes
- Smooth, non-abrasive surface
- Lower upfront cost compared to other inground options
- Replaceable liners for long-term value
Perfect for homeowners who want a beautiful, personalized pool designed to fit their backyard.
Semi-Inground Pools
Looking for something in between? Semi-inground pools offer the best of both worlds, combining the look of an inground pool with the affordability and flexibility of an above ground option.
Why Choose a Semi-Inground Pool:
- Ideal for sloped or uneven yards
- Can be partially or fully buried
- More affordable than traditional inground pools
- Custom decking and landscaping options
A great solution for homeowners who want a more built-in look without the full investment of an inground pool.
Above Ground Pools
Above ground pools are a popular choice for families looking for a quick, cost-effective way to enjoy their backyard.
Advantages of Above Ground Pools:
- Lower upfront investment
- Faster installation
- Easy to maintain
- Available in a variety of sizes and styles
With modern designs and durable materials, today’s above ground pools offer both style and performance.

Pool builders, contractors and installers in Cincinnati: how a job with us runs
Most people searching for a pool builder or pool contractor in Cincinnati want to know who actually digs, sets and finishes the pool. Here, it is us. Every pool we sell is installed by our own crews, not handed to a subcontractor, and the people you talk to in the showroom are the people who schedule your install.
1. Site visit and the right pool for the yard
We look at the slope, drainage, access for equipment and where the pool will sit relative to the house. That is usually where the inground, semi-inground or above ground decision gets made, and it is why a semi-inground Stealth pool is so often the answer on Cincinnati’s hillside lots.
2. Design and selection
Inground vinyl liner pools are built to a custom shape and size. Semi-inground and above ground pools are chosen by model and size from the lines we carry (Latham, Stealth, Doughboy and Embassy), with the ladder, filter, cover and extras priced together as one package.
3. Installation by our crews
Excavation and base work, the pool structure, plumbing and equipment pad, then the liner or wall set and the first fill. Timing depends on the pool type and the season; above ground installs are the quickest, inground builds take the longest.
4. Startup, balancing and the first season
We start the equipment, balance the water and show you the routine. After that the same store opens and closes the pool each year, replaces the liner when it is time, and keeps the pumps, filters and chemicals on the shelf.
Remodels and upgrades on an existing pool
Not every project is a new build. If you already have a pool, we replace vinyl liners, fit new safety covers, and replace or upgrade pumps, filters and heaters. See pool liner replacement, pool cover replacement and pool service.

Frequently asked questions
If you are in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati Pool and Patio covers all three from one store: we help you choose between inground vinyl liner, semi-inground and above ground, install the pool, and then service it with openings, closings, liner and cover replacement and water testing. We have been at 10731 Reading Road since 1966.
Usually a semi-inground pool. A Stealth semi-inground can be set partly into a slope so one side sits at ground level and the other is decked, without the excavation of a full inground pool. Above ground pools need a level pad. Inground vinyl liner pools can be built into almost any lot with the right excavation.
Yes. We install and service pools across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, including Covington, Newport, Fort Thomas and Florence.
Cincinnati Pool and Patio does both from one store at 10731 Reading Road. New builds: Latham inground vinyl liner pools, Stealth semi-inground pools and Doughboy and Embassy above ground pools, installed by our own crews across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Remodels: vinyl liner replacement, safety cover replacement, and pump, filter and heater replacement on pools we did not originally build.
Our own crews install every pool we sell. The showroom staff who help you choose the pool are the same team that schedules the installation and the first-season service.
Ask who does the installation, whether they service what they install, and how long they have worked on local lots. Cincinnati’s clay soil, hillside yards and freeze-thaw winters affect excavation, liners and equipment, so a builder who also opens, closes and services pools here every year has seen how each choice holds up. We have done that since 1966.
