In Upper Arlington, the first question for a pool is usually whether it fits the zoning, not just the yard. Lots in the older sections are mature and often tightly spaced, and the city's rules on setbacks and lot coverage shape how much pool and patio you can add. Mid-century ranches and 1920s Tudors and colonials often have limited side-yard access. Where older homes have been replaced with new construction, owners sometimes plan the pool alongside the house. Permits go through the city's building division.

That's why we look at the lot and the rules before design. A custom concrete pool can make good use of an odd-shaped space.
