As the owner of Robinson Landscape, I’ve seen countless homeowners struggling with the same dilemma – what to do with that aging, unused swimming pool taking up valuable space in their backyard. If you’re considering professional pool removal to reclaim your outdoor living area, you’re not alone. Since 2000, our team has helped hundreds of homeowners throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey transform their underutilized pools into beautiful, functional spaces.
Why Consider Professional Pool Removal?
That old pool might hold memories, but let’s be honest – an unused pool requires ongoing maintenance, consumes resources, and limits your backyard’s potential. Here in Bucks County and throughout Southeastern PA and New Jersey, we’re seeing more homeowners opt for pool removal for new landscaping opportunities.
Some common reasons our clients choose to remove their pools include:
- High maintenance costs for a pool rarely used
- Safety concerns, especially with young children or pets
- Desire for more versatile outdoor space
- Preparing to sell their home
- Insurance cost reduction
The Pool Removal Process: What to Expect
As pool demolition experts in PA and NJ, we follow a comprehensive process to ensure your project goes smoothly:
- Initial consultation and assessment of your pool and property
- Development of a customized removal plan
- Securing all necessary permits (we handle this for you!)
- Professional drainage following environmental guidelines
- Complete or partial demolition based on your needs
- Proper disposal of all materials
- Filling and compacting with clean fill
- Fine grading and preparation for your new landscape
Partial vs. Complete Pool Removal: Which is Right for You?
When removing an unused pool, you generally have two options:
Partial Removal: This more affordable option involves punching holes in the pool bottom for drainage, demolishing the top 18-24 inches of the pool structure, and filling the remaining space with clean fill. This is often sufficient for creating a new garden or lawn area.
Complete Removal: For homeowners planning more substantial structures on the site, we recommend complete removal. This comprehensive approach removes all pool materials from your property, providing a clean slate for whatever you envision.
