Partial or complete

Choose the right removal option

Which one suits depends on what you want to do with the space afterwards. We will talk it through on site before quoting.

Partial pool removal

Best if you are planning turf, garden or landscaping. We remove the upper structure, backfill the space with clean topsoil and compact it properly.

Complete pool removal

Best if you are planning to build or develop. The whole structure comes out, including the concrete shell and steel reinforcement, leaving a site ready to build on.

Common questions

What homeowners ask before removing a pool

Still unsure? Call us and talk through your pool and backyard plans.

0416 697 303
How much does pool removal cost?+

Every project is different. Cost depends on pool size, structure, property access, council requirements and site conditions. We inspect the property before providing a clear quote.

Do you handle council approval?+

Yes. Council approval is part of the complete process we help organise before demolition begins.

What happens after the pool is removed?+

The area is filled with clean material, compacted and levelled. Fresh turf is then laid so the space becomes a usable green backyard.

How long does pool removal take?+

The timeframe depends on the pool, access, approvals and site conditions. We explain the expected schedule when we inspect the property and prepare the quote.

Are you fully insured?+

Yes. We carry comprehensive insurance that covers our work and the project. Ask to see the details when we quote and we will provide them.

How do you decommission a pool?+

The pool or spa is emptied first, and the water needs to be disposed of appropriately. The local authority recommends this is done through a licensed liquid waste contractor.
