Carrollton has many established residential neighborhoods where homes and swimming pools have been around for decades. As those pools get older, homeowners eventually have to decide how much more money they want to put into them.

A major renovation can become a significant investment, particularly when the pool is already showing its age. Spending that money may make perfect sense for a family that uses the pool constantly. It becomes harder to justify when the pool is rarely being used.

Removing the swimming pool gives homeowners another option. Instead of rebuilding something they no longer really want, they can eliminate the pool and begin using the backyard differently.

How Pool Removal Works

Every project starts by looking at the swimming pool and the surrounding property. Access to the backyard is especially important because demolition equipment needs a safe way to reach the work area without causing unnecessary disruption to the property.

Once the site has been evaluated, demolition can begin. Metroplex Pool Removal handles both partial and complete pool removals, and the process is different depending on which type of removal is being completed.

During a partial removal, the pool shell is broken apart and collapsed into the existing cavity. The remaining space is filled with fill dirt, compacted and then graded to match the surrounding yard.

A complete removal involves excavating the entire pool structure and hauling the demolition debris away from the property. The empty cavity is then filled, compacted and graded.

A Backyard You Can Use Again

It can be difficult to appreciate how much space a swimming pool occupies until it is no longer there. The pool itself is only part of the footprint. Decking and other areas surrounding it can take up a substantial portion of the property as well.

Once the pool has been removed, homeowners have much more flexibility with the yard. Many choose to install sod and create additional lawn space. Others incorporate the area into new landscaping or leave the backyard open for future improvements.

The goal is to leave you with usable space that feels like part of your yard again rather than simply covering up the location of the old swimming pool.

How Long Does Pool Removal Take?

Pool demolition does not necessarily mean having a construction project in your backyard for weeks. Many straightforward partial removals can be completed in as little as three days when the property has good equipment access and there are no unusual site conditions.

Complete pool removals generally require additional time because the entire structure must be excavated and hauled away. The size of the pool and accessibility of the backyard can also affect the schedule, so we evaluate the property before determining the expected timeline.
