Pool Removal With the Dirt Work Included

Pool removal is steady work for us in Burleson, TX and across the southwest side of the Metroplex. Most people call us once the pool turns into a monthly bill instead of a place to swim. We break the shell out and load the concrete into our roll-off dumpsters, then haul it off. The hole then gets filled with dirt and compacted in lifts, so the ground holds its shape.

Monty Cain started Texas Best Demolition in late 2024, after decades of demolition and dirt work around Burleson. He built and sold Burleson Demolition, and he has run dirt work and roll-off dumpster businesses here too. That background matters on a pool job, because the fill and the compaction are the parts that fail later. Demolition, dirt work, grading and compaction all happen in house, with about 20 people on our payroll.

Partial Pool Removal or Full Pool Removal

Partial removal is the choice on most backyard pools, because it costs less and finishes faster. We break the pool walls down below grade and drop the broken concrete into the bottom of the shell. Holes get punched through the floor so water drains through instead of collecting under your new yard. The shell is then filled with dirt and compacted in lifts, and the yard is graded flat on top.

Full removal takes the entire shell out, walls and floor, and every piece of it leaves the property. It costs more than a partial fill in, because there is more concrete to break out and haul away. Full removal makes sense when you want to build on that spot, or when a builder asks for it. We look at the pool and your plans for the yard, then tell you which one fits.

Getting Machines Into a Fenced Backyard

Most pools sit behind a house and a gate, so access decides how the whole job runs. We run excavators in every size class, from a Bobcat E88 up to a Kobelco 350. The compact machines fit through a standard backyard gate, which keeps your fence and side yard in one piece. When the gate is too tight, we take out a section of fence and set it back afterward.

The broken concrete has to come back out the same way the machine went in, past the house. We run three roll-off trucks and about 75 dumpsters, so the rubble leaves while the work is going. Nothing sits in your driveway for a week waiting on a hauler with his own schedule. We set the truck route and the machine path before the first day, so the yard takes less damage.

Fill and Compaction in DFW Clay

The fill is the part you live with long after the pool removal is finished and paid for. Dirt dumped in loose will settle for years, and the yard sinks into a dip over the old shell. We place the fill in lifts and compact each lift before the next one goes in on top. Demolition, dirt work, grading and compaction all happen in house, so the same people own the result.

Burleson and the rest of the Metroplex sit on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Clay moves, so the fill and the grade around the old pool have to send water away from the house. We grade the finished surface so rain runs off the yard instead of standing over the fill. Fill dirt has to come from somewhere, and hauling it in is part of what the job costs.

Call (817) 564-4360

What is the difference between partial and full pool removal?
Partial removal breaks the pool walls down below grade and punches drainage holes through the floor. The shell is then filled and compacted in lifts. Full removal takes the whole shell out, walls and floor, and hauls all of it off. Partial costs less and fits most backyards, while full removal suits a spot you plan to build on.
Can you get equipment into my backyard?
Usually yes. We run compact excavators that fit through a standard backyard gate, plus bigger machines for open lots. If the gate is too narrow, we take out a section of fence and put it back. Gate width and the path from the street change how the job runs and what it costs.
How much does pool removal cost?
Cost follows the size of the pool and whether you want partial or full removal. It also follows how much concrete has to leave and how tight the access is. Fill dirt and hauling move the number, and a deck or attached spa adds work. Call (817) 564-4360 and we will price it at the property, free.
Will the ground settle after the pool is filled in?
Fill settles when it goes in loose and nobody compacts it. We place the dirt in lifts and compact each lift before the next one, then grade the surface to drain. Dirt work and compaction are in house here, so the fill is not handed off to another outfit. Some minor settling is normal in the first year.
How long does a pool removal take?
Most backyard pools come out in a few days once access is clear and utilities are marked. Partial removal moves faster than full removal, because less concrete has to be loaded and hauled. Weather can push a schedule, since wet clay is hard to compact. We give you a timeline when we price the job.
