Busting up a pool, dumping all the pieces in the hole AND leaving the sides at almost ground level is NOT professional demolition of a pool- it's a teenage vandalism. Pathetic. And this homeowner paid money for this "work"?

Agreed! It's crap. All that concrete should have been completely removed and hauled off and THEN filled with dirt! Nothing will grow there but weeds and grass. You can't plant a tree! And when holes open up because of rain.. and you have small kids! Or animals! I've had holes open up and my lawn guy! I have nightmares that he's going to flip his mower and get injured or worse because of someone else's negligence. I inherited this problem. Watched the video in hopes that the pool company that did it, did it wrong. I've only learned that this is normal.. Wow.. educate yourself before even getting a pool. What a waste!

Horrible idea not to fully remove the pool.....and ensure proper draining.

​@TheIggypop1 .. Yes, I purchased a home that had a pool and the huge holes that keep opening up! And to NOT remove all that garbage! It's a hazard! And the cost to have it all dug up and removed .. I've inherited a huge problem that's almost impossible to fix!

It's September 2023 and I'm looking at doing this for my 18x36 in Georgia. I plan on doing everything myself with rented equipment and only contracting the fill dirt/top soil hauling. My estimate for cost is $4500-5000 including equipment rental (skid steer, 10-12k lb mini-excavator, plate compactor, fill dirt, top soil and sod. Just to give everyone an idea on the costs. I'm sure if I contracted it out, I would be looking at $7000-9000; I have very, very easy access to the pool/back yard area, we are not in a subdivision, you can drive a dump truck around and back up to the pool essentially. The costs to do one in a subdivision would be much higher because of limited access.

live in California. In 2014 I had my in-ground swimming pool professionally demolished and converted into a beautifully landscaped rose garden. I obtained city permits for said demolition and a required geological report for final city approval. It cost around 11K for everything. I never looked back. Pools aren’t for everyone, especially in drought-stricken Southern California.
