FAQ – Swimming Pool Excavation, Demolition and Filling
How long does it take to dig or remove a pool?
New pool digging usually takes 1 to 3 days depending on size and soil conditions. Pool demolition and removal can take 3 to 7 days including haul-off and backfill.
Do you handle all the dirtwork and cleanup?
Yes. We handle all dirtwork, haul away debris, and leave the site clean and level or prepared for your next landscaping or building project.
Is it safe to build over a filled-in pool?
Absolutely. When properly filled and compacted, the ground will be safe for lawns, patios, sheds, or other light structures once it has had some time to settle. We advise against building a home foundation without a soil test.
What types of pools can you remove or dig?
We work with concrete, gunite, vinyl liner, and fiberglass in-ground pools and above ground pools. Whether you need a clean dig for installation or a full demolition of an old structure, we have you covered.
​
Do I need a permit to remove a pool?
In most Kansas City-area municipalities, yes. But we can help you navigate local permit requirements or work with your general contractor directly to ensure everything is up to code.
