Reclaim your backyard. We demolish and remove concrete and fibreglass pools, backfill the hole properly with compacted recycled aggregate, and hand over a level pad ready for turf, slab, or landscaping.
The right method depends on the shell, access and what you want to do with the space afterwards. We plan the removal, disposal, backfill and final level together rather than leaving you to coordinate separate earthmoving and cart-away jobs.
A Robina fibreglass pool removal used a 3T excavator, plate compactor and 6T tipper: the shell was removed, crusher dust was compacted in lifts, plumbing was capped by a licensed plumber, and the area was graded ready for turf.
Access for the excavator and tipper, the pool shell and surrounds, imported backfill, disposal route, and the required finished level all affect the quote. We also discuss council and certifier notifications before work starts.
IS THIS THE RIGHT SERVICE?
- An old fibreglass or concrete pool is no longer wanted
- You want the area returned to a level surface for turf, a slab or landscaping
- The pool, surrounds, equipment and spoil need one coordinated removal plan
- You can provide the required pool approval, notification or certifier details
