Not if you did so with the permission of the owner. In many cases a homeowner will maintain a portion of their neighbor's property in order to protect the value of their own property.
If you maintained the property without the permission of the owner but openly, you should consult with an attorney in your state who is familiar with the law of real property who can review the situation and determine if you have met the requirements for a claim of adverse possession. In most jurisdictions the claim must be perfected by a court order.

No they cannot, unless you live in a state where they can, under color of lawful claim. For example, the state of Washington allows tacking of trespass to reach the necessary time limit for adverse possession, in a case where the trespasser believed he had title to the land being claimed. Basically, the statute of limitations started to run against the earliest open trespasser and the landowner had the obligation to do something about it, or else lose the right to claim the property.

After having my property surveyed I know that my neighbor's fence and above ground pool is encroaching my property and do i have the right to ask them to have removed?
It depends. While you can ask that the pool and fence be removed, the neighbors could claim adverse possession and/or mutual acquiescence. If the fence and pool have been on your property in excess of a certain period of time (usually 10-15 years--varies by state), then the land belongs to your neighbors. I suggest you contact a real estate attorney in your area for more information on your state's law on adverse possession. For general information on adverse possession, follow the link below.
