Full and partial swimming pool removal in Orange County. We pull the city permit, and we use engineered backfill and compaction when the ground needs to be buildable.
Partial or full
Partial removal
We break up and remove the top of the shell, then fill and grade the cavity. This fits landscape or a patio. It is not the choice if you will build on the footprint.
Full removal
We haul out the shell and the steel, then place clean fill in engineered lifts with compaction so the area can support future construction.
How the work goes
Permit acquisition
We pull the demolition permit, submit engineer reports if the city asks, and schedule the inspections.
Utility identification
Before equipment arrives, we locate gas, water, electrical, and irrigation lines and make sure the pool equipment is shut off.
Controlled demolition
The crew breaks up the shell, deck, and equipment and protects the house, fences, and landscaping.
Debris haul-off
Broken concrete, rebar, and old equipment go on the trucks. Nothing is left in the yard.
Backfill and grading
Clean fill goes in in layers and is compacted. The surface is graded level for landscape, hardscape, or an ADU.
