When should you consider removing your pool?
Deciding whether you need above ground pool removal can be based on several factors.
Do you Use Your Pool Enough to Justify The Cost of Keeping It? If your pool has not been used for consecutive seasons and is simply taking up space, it might be time to consider removal.
Are You Sick of Maintenance Challenges? Constantly dealing with repairs and maintenance can be costly and time-consuming. If keeping up with the pool’s demands becomes overwhelming, removal might be a more practical solution.
Do You Have Safety Concerns? An unused or poorly maintained pool can pose safety risks, especially if you have children or pets. Removing the pool can eliminate potential hazards.
Are You Planning Changes? If you’re considering a landscaping overhaul or want to utilise your backyard space differently (like adding a garden, deck, or recreational area), removing the pool can provide the necessary space.
Are You Looking to Sell Your Property: Sometimes, the presence of an above-ground pool can impact the marketability of your property. Removing it could enhance your home’s appeal to potential buyers.
If any of these situations apply to you, it might be time to contact a professional team at A Team Demolition & Civil to discuss your options for above-ground pool removal.

What is the process of demolishing and removing an above-ground pool?
- Draining the Pool: The first step involves safely draining the pool water, ensuring that the drainage does not negatively impact the surrounding environment or violate any local regulations.
- Dismantling the Structure: Once the pool is drained, the frame, walls, and liner are carefully dismantled. Depending on the type of pool, this might involve disassembling metal, plastic, or wooden components.
- Disposing of Materials: The materials from the dismantled pool need to be disposed of responsibly. Some materials can be recycled, while others might require disposal at a waste management facility.
- Restoring the Site: After the pool and its components are removed, the area will often need some level of restoration. This may include filling in holes, levelling the ground, and possibly reseeding grass or redoing landscaping to leave your yard looking neat and usable.
At A Team Demolition & Civil, we have a range of professional inground pool demolition services, expertise and equipment to handle all aspects of the removal process, including above ground pool demolitions from start to finish.
