If you’ve never removed a pool before, it might sound like a major undertaking — and to be fair, it is. But when done properly, it’s a manageable and transformative project that restores your yard and increases its usability. Here’s what Macomb homeowners can expect.
Initial Site Evaluation and Quote
First, a team member will visit your home to inspect the pool’s structure, location, and surroundings. This determines the best method of removal — full or partial — and allows us to provide an accurate estimate.
Permits and Utility Marking
Pool removal requires permits in most Michigan municipalities. We handle those, along with coordinating utility marking to ensure we avoid gas lines, electrical, or plumbing during the dig.
Demolition and Disposal
Using professional equipment, we break apart the pool walls, decking, and plumbing systems. Materials are either removed or collapsed based on the method. Concrete, steel, fiberglass, and liner materials are all safely handled and disposed of.
Backfilling and Soil Compaction
One of the most critical steps is proper backfilling with clean soil or fill material. We compact the ground layer by layer to avoid future sinking or uneven land — a step many DIY jobs miss.
Grading and Restoration
After compaction, we grade the area to ensure water runoff is handled properly. We can leave the space ready for sod, seed it, or prep it for a patio or landscaping feature depending on your goals.
Macomb Pool Removal ensures your yard is left clean, safe, and ready for its next chapter. Our team takes care of the heavy lifting so you can move forward with your outdoor plans.
