Step 1: Consultation and Estimate
Every pool removal begins with a thorough assessment. Our team visits your property to evaluate pool type, size, and accessibility. We then provide a clear estimate, timeline, and explanation of the process so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 2: Draining and Demolition
The pool is carefully drained to prevent flooding or erosion. Once empty, demolition begins. Concrete pools are broken apart with heavy equipment, while fiberglass or vinyl pools require tailored removal methods. Safety and efficiency are our top priorities during this phase.
Step 3: Backfilling and Compaction
After the structure is removed, the cavity is filled with clean soil. Compaction is done in layers to ensure long-term stability and to prevent future sinking or uneven ground. This step is crucial if you plan to install new landscaping or hardscaping.
Step 4: Grading and Preparing for the Future
The yard is graded to allow for proper drainage, protecting your home’s foundation and landscaping. Homeowners often use this stage to decide what they want in place of their pool: sod for a lush lawn, a garden, or a new patio.
Step 5: The Finished Transformation
From start to finish, most pool removals take less than a week. The result is a backyard free from liability and full of potential. What was once an unused or burdensome pool becomes an open canvas for new projects.
