Thinking about removing your old or unused swimming pool?

Pool removal is a big project with many cost factors involved. Whether you want more yard space or to eliminate maintenance expenses, understanding the real cost helps you plan smarter.


1. Types of Pool Removal

There are two main types: partial and full removal.

  • Partial removal involves breaking holes in the pool floor, collapsing the walls, and filling the space with soil.
  • Full removal means removing all pool materials and backfilling the entire area.

Full removals cost more but provide better long-term results, especially if you plan to build or landscape over the area.


2. Average Pool Removal Cost

On average, homeowners can expect:

  • Partial removal: $5,000–$10,000
  • Full removal: $10,000–$20,000+

Prices vary based on pool size, material (concrete, fiberglass, vinyl), and site access. In Chester County and Delaware County, PA, terrain and disposal regulations can also affect pricing.


3. Factors That Influence Price

Access: Limited access for heavy equipment increases labor costs.

Disposal fees: Concrete and rebar removal requires trucking and landfill fees.

Restoration: Grading, topsoil, and seeding add to final costs but complete the job.


4. Benefits of Professional Pool Removal

Hiring a professional excavation company like Scavo Solutions ensures:


  • Safe demolition and disposal
  • Proper grading and soil compaction
  • Drainage that prevents future settling or pooling
