We make pool removal simple, so you can reclaim and enjoy your yard again.

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.

What’s Included in Our Above Ground Pool Removal Service:

  • Site Visit and Evaluation (if necessary): One of our team members will visit your property and assess the swimming pool. After that, we will give you a detailed quote of the project’s cost and how we will remove the pool.
  • Planning and Estimate: We’ll make a custom plan for you and give you a detailed written cost estimate so you’ll know exactly what services we’ll be providing. A discount is possible if we have a current promo ongoing.
  • Utility Disconnections: We will check all of the electrical or plumbing utilities connected to the pool and remove them before proceeding, or you can choose to handle it independently.
  • Pool Draining and Pumping: We will drain and pump out all the water from the pool and dispose of it properly to avoid being penalized by the local government.
  • Complete Pool Removal: We will start dismantling the frames, walls, liners and the deck if you have one. Everything will be removed.
  • Removal or Replacement of Fences and Shrubs: If fencing or landscaping needs to be temporarily removed to access the pool, we will take care of it, once we removed the pool we restore the area and fix it.
  • Filling and Grading: We will fill any concave areas where we remove the pool. After that, we will grade and level the area to make sure it has a smooth surface and proper drainage.
  • Site Restoration: After grading, we will fill the area where we removed the pool with fresh soil, seed it for new grass growth, and cover it with straw mulch for protection.
  • Lawn Care Instructions: We will print out a step-by-step instructions on how to maintain and water your new lawn to make sure it will grow healthy and last long.

Above Ground Pool Removal Cost

Removing a pool above ground is easier than removing an in-ground pool, but it still necessitates expertise and knowledge to ensure a smooth and hassle-free process.

Average cost to remove an above ground pool: $1,500 – $5,000 (this is based on our last 5 clients that opt for this service).

Here are some factors that may affect the cost of the project:

  • Pool Size and Type: Larger or older pools with heavy frames require more labor. If your above-ground pool is sunken to the ground, consider that labor is increased.
  • Site Accessibility: Additional work may be needed if our equipment is blocked by fences or landscaping.
  • Disposal and Recycling: Removal of metal frames, liners, and accessories adds to the total.

We provide free quotes to give you a clear picture of what to expect. There are no hidden fees, just honest pricing so you can plan confidently.
