Whether your pool has become a maintenance burden, you're looking to reclaim yard space, or you're preparing your property for sale, our expert team can help you say goodbye to your unwanted pool.
We offer both partial and complete pool removal options, tailored to your specific needs and budget. Our process ensures proper drainage, structural integrity, and site preparation for your yard's next chapter.
Pool Removal Options
Partial Pool Removal (Fill-In)
Partial pool removal involves breaking up the top portion of the pool (typically 18-36 inches), punching holes in the bottom for drainage, and filling the remaining shell with clean fill material. This option is more economical and less disruptive to your property.
Ideal for:
Budget-conscious homeowners
Properties where access is limited
Situations where minimal disruption is preferred
Yards planned for landscaping or gardens
Complete Pool Removal
Complete pool removal involves demolishing and removing the entire pool structure, including the floor, walls, and decking. The hole is then filled with clean fill dirt, compacted in layers, and finished with topsoil. This option provides complete restoration of your property.
Ideal for:
Properties being prepared for sale
Areas planned for future construction
Homeowners concerned about property value
Situations requiring unrestricted future use of the property

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pool removal cost?
The cost varies depending on pool size, access to your property, removal method, and local requirements. Partial removals typically range from $5,000-$15,000, while complete removals can range from $10,000-$25,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after assessing your specific situation.
How long does pool removal take?
Most pool removals take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on the size, removal method, and weather conditions. The permitting process typically adds 1-3 weeks before work can begin.
Will removing my pool affect my property value?
This depends on your local market. In many cases, removing an old or deteriorating pool can increase property value and appeal to a broader range of buyers. In some luxury markets, a pool may be expected. We're happy to discuss the specifics of your situation.
Do I need to disclose a removed pool when selling my home?
In Florida, you typically need to disclose a partial pool removal (fill-in) to potential buyers. Complete removals may not require disclosure if properly documented, but disclosure laws vary. We recommend consulting with a real estate attorney for specific advice.
Can I build on the area where my pool was removed?
With a complete pool removal, you can typically build structures on the site. With partial removal, the area is generally suitable for landscaping, patios, or other non-structural uses. Local building codes may have specific requirements, which we can discuss during consultation.
