Our Long Island Pool Removal Services

Why Homeowners Remove Their Pools
An unused or aging swimming pool can become expensive to maintain and take up valuable backyard space. Many Long Island homeowners choose pool removal to reduce maintenance costs, eliminate damaged or unwanted pools, create more usable yard space, or prepare the property for new landscaping, patios, play areas, and other outdoor improvements.
Our Process
From initial assessment through demolition, backfill, and site restoration, the pool removal process is planned around your property, pool type, access, and future use of the space.
01
Property & Pool Assessment
The pool, surrounding access, and project scope are evaluated to determine the appropriate removal or fill-in approach.
02
Permits & Project Planning
Permit requirements and local rules can vary by town. The project is planned around the property, pool type, access, and intended use of the space.
03
Pool Demolition & Removal
The pool structure is broken down and removed or prepared for an approved fill-in method, depending on the project.
04
Backfill & Site Restoration
The area is filled, compacted, graded, and prepared for future lawn, landscaping, patio space, or other backyard improvements.
What Affects Your Pool Removal Cost
Every yard is different, so every price is different. These are the factors that move the number:
​
-
Pool size and type. A small above-ground pool is a day's work. A large concrete in-ground pool is a full excavation project. Gunite, vinyl liner, and fiberglass each demolish differently.
-
Full vs. partial removal. Full removal costs more because everything is excavated and hauled away — but it's the right call if you ever plan to build on that spot.
-
Equipment access. A wide-open side yard is simple. A pool boxed in by fences, sheds, and landscaping takes more labor and smaller equipment.
-
Debris disposal. Concrete and rebar are heavy. Hauling and dump fees are a real part of the job — beware any quote that seems to ignore them.
-
Permits. Your town or village charges a permit fee, and the application takes time. Any legitimate contractor builds this in.
-
How you want the yard finished. Rough grade with topsoil costs less than finished sod or a paver patio base. Tell us the end goal and we'll price to it.
