Taking down an above-ground swimming pool is not as simple as it seems. It involves more than just removing the pool itself. In many cases, these pools have wooden or composite decking around them, which can vary from simple to complex structures. Getting rid of this decking requires extra work and costs for hauling away and disposing of the materials legally.

Based on our experience, about 60-70% of above-ground pools have wooden decking around them, ranging from simple designs to more complex ones. No matter the design, removing the wooden decking means more work and extra costs for hauling and removing the debris.

Above-ground pool with surrounding deck

Although they’re called “above-ground pools,” we’ve found that around 70-80% of them are sunken into the ground to some degree. We’ve removed pools just a few inches below the surface and others as deep as four feet.

No matter how deep the pool is, nearly all above-ground pool removals require backfilling the area with clean fill soil. Once that’s done, we spread screened topsoil, followed by grass seed and straw, and clean up the worksite, including your driveway.

Full removal of the pool, decking, backfilling, and final touches like topsoil and grass seed typically takes two to three days, though some jobs may take longer depending on the size and complexity of the pool and surrounding structures.
