If you're thinking about installing an inground pool in the Lexington area, you're probably wondering what kind of investment to expect. Most fiberglass pool projects in Central Kentucky typically fall between $70,000 and $85,000, with smaller projects starting around $60,000 and large-scale custom builds reaching $200,000 or more.
Let’s break down the main factors that impact pool pricing in Lexington:
Choosing the right type of pool can dramatically affect both your upfront costs and long-term maintenance. Here's how they compare in the Lexington market:
Gunite Pools: Customizable but the most expensive to install and maintain. They also require frequent resurfacing.
Vinyl Liner Pools: Cheapest to install, but ongoing liner replacements add to long-term costs.
Fiberglass Pools: Lower lifetime cost of ownership and quicker installation. With a lifetime structural warranty and a gelcoat finish that resists algae and staining, fiberglass pools are ideal for Lexington homeowners who want durability and ease of care.
Pool installation requires moving large equipment, dirt, and materials in and out of your backyard. If access is tight—due to fencing, trees, or elevation changes—it may increase labor and equipment costs. In some Lexington properties, this can add $5,000 to $10,000 to the overall project.
We’ll assess your site during your consultation and plan around any access challenges upfront.
At River Pools Lexington, we don’t just install pools—we help you create a complete backyard experience. While every project starts with an amazing pool and patio, we also offer:
Outdoor kitchens
Pergolas and shade structures
