How do I know if it’s time to remove my pool?
Deciding whether to remove a pool can be a significant decision. Here are some key factors to consider that might indicate it’s time to remove your pool:
Do you use your pool enough to justify the costs? If you find that the pool is rarely used and doesn’t justify the cost of maintenance and cleaning, it might be time to consider removal.
Are you sick of high maintenance costs? As pools age, they can require more frequent repairs and maintenance which can become costly. If these expenses outweigh the enjoyment and value the pool adds, removal could be a financially sound choice.
Do you have safety concerns for your family? Pools can pose safety risks, especially if there are small children or pets in the home. If the pool no longer meets safety standards and upgrading is too costly, removing it may be the best option.
Are you thinking of selling your home? Some prospective homebuyers may view a pool as a liability rather than a luxury. Removing it could increase the marketability of your home.
Do you have a vision of better using your available space? If your pool takes up a large portion of your yard and you’d prefer more open, usable space for other activities or landscaping, removing the pool could provide the space you need.
If any of these points resonate with your current situation, it might be worth considering pool removal as a viable option. At A Team Demolition & Civil, we offer 100% obligation-free consultations to assess your specific circumstances and help you make an informed decision.
How much does pool removal cost?
The cost can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the pool, its type (e.g., above-ground vs in-ground), the complexity of the job, access to the site, and the desired type of fill-in method (partial or full removal).
Below is a general pricing table to give you an idea of potential costs.
Type of Pool Removal | Average Cost Range |
---|---|
Partial Removal | $5,000 – $10,000 |
Full Removal | $10,000 – $15,000 |
PLEASE NOTE: These figures are approximate and can vary depending on the specific requirements of your project.
Key factors affecting cost:
- Partial Removal: This typically involves breaking down the upper parts of the pool structure and then filling in the remaining hole with dirt and gravel. This method is less costly but may have implications for future landscaping or construction due to the remaining materials.
- Full Removal: This method involves the complete excavation and removal of all pool materials, followed by filling in the excavation site. It’s more expensive but leaves the ground better suited for future construction or complete landscaping renovation.
Extras:
- Access Issues: Limited access to your property or the pool site can increase costs due to the need for smaller, more specialised equipment.
- Disposal Fees: The cost of disposing of the removed pool materials can also add to the overall expense.
- Landscaping: After removal, you may also need to budget for landscaping to restore or enhance the appearance of the area.

How long does pool removal take?
The duration can vary significantly based on a few key factors, such as the size and type of the pool, the method of removal (partial vs. full), and the specific conditions of the site.
Here’s a general breakdown:
- Partial Removal: This process typically takes about 2 to 5 days. It involves breaking down the upper parts of the pool and then filling the area with dirt and gravel. The time can vary based on the size of the pool and the ease of access to the site.
- Full Removal: This more comprehensive method can take from 5 to 7 days or more. It includes completely excavating the pool and removing all materials, which is a more labour-intensive process. The timeline can be extended if there are complications like poor access to the site or if the pool has complex features such as extensive tiling, deep foundations, or reinforced structures.
Additionally, factors such as weather conditions, preparation and cleanup time, and the speed at which permits and inspections can be obtained and completed will also affect the total time required.
How can I identify professional pool removal services?
Identifying a professional contractor in Brisbane involves several steps to ensure you choose a competent and reliable service.
Here’s what to look out for:
- Licences and Certifications: Ensure that the provider has the necessary licences to operate in your area. This includes checking for specific qualifications related to excavation and demolition, as required by local regulations.
- Experience: Look for a company with extensive experience in pool removal. Providers with a long track record are likely to have dealt with a variety of pool types and situations, which means they can handle unexpected challenges that may arise.
- Insurance: Always choose a provider that is fully insured. This protects you against any liability in case of accidents or damage to your property during the removal process.
- References and Reviews: Check reviews and testimonials from previous customers. A reputable provider should have a portfolio of past projects and be willing to provide references. This first-hand feedback can give you insight into the provider’s reliability and quality of work.
- Detailed Quotes: Professional companies will offer a detailed quote that outlines all costs involved, including any potential fees for unexpected circumstances. This transparency helps you avoid any hidden charges.
- Equipment and Techniques: Ensure that the provider uses up-to-date equipment and follows modern, safe removal techniques. This not only speeds up the process but also minimises the impact on your property.
- Customer Service: Professionalism in customer service is a good indicator of the overall management of a company. Responsive, courteous service suggests a business that values its clients and is serious about its reputation.
- Environmental Practices: Check if the provider follows environmentally responsible disposal and recycling practices. Proper handling of materials not only protects the environment but also complies with local regulations.

Is it worth getting rid of my pool?
Deciding whether it’s worth it to remove a pool depends on several personal and financial factors.
Here are some considerations to help you determine if pool removal is the right decision for you:
- Cost Savings: Maintaining a pool can be expensive, involving regular cleaning, chemical balancing, equipment repairs, and utility bills for heating and filtering water. Removing a pool can significantly reduce these ongoing costs.
- Increased Usable Space: Removing a pool can free up valuable space in your yard, providing more room for landscaping, gardening, or other outdoor activities that better suit your lifestyle or family’s needs.
- Safety: Pools can pose safety risks, especially for families with young children or pets. Removing a pool can eliminate these concerns and potentially reduce your homeowner’s insurance premiums.
- Home Value: In some cases, a pool can increase a home’s value, particularly in regions where pools are in high demand. However, in other areas, especially where pools are less common or in demand, removing a pool might actually make your home more attractive to potential buyers.
- Long-Term Planning: Consider your long-term plans. If you’re not using the pool and don’t plan on doing so in the future, removing it might make sense. This is especially true if you’re looking towards retirement and prefer a lower-maintenance property.
- Condition of the Pool: If your pool is aging and requires significant repairs, the cost of renovating it might be prohibitive, making removal a more cost-effective option.
Whether it is worth it to remove a pool is a personal decision that should be based on how much value the pool adds to your life versus the expense and effort it requires to maintain.
