Here is another Littleton, CO pool removal.  The homeowners came to the decision that they were not using the pool enough and wanted more usable backyard space.

This is another project where we did more than just remove the vinyl liner pool.  It is a perfect example of our Low Impact Pool Removal process.  All plastics and metals associated with the pool get hauled away and recycled.  All concrete associated with the pool is completely demolished.  It is processed into 8” fracture concrete gravel similar to PGE and used as fill. The pool area is restored to lawn. This method is lower impact and more cost effective because less has to be hauled in and out to fill in the pool.

With this Littleton, CO pool removal, we demolished the concrete walk around the pool.  We also removed a  concrete pad that did not serve a purpose for the homeowner.  All of the concrete was broken down and compacted in the bottom of the pool.  Homeowners are always given the option to have all portions of the pool hauled offsite even if leaving concrete onsite is accepted.

We also removed the failing timber retaining wall around their Colorado Blue Spruce.  The homeowners had a plan to create an outdoor seating area with a fire pit in this area.  We assisted the homeowners with starting the new seating area.  We met onsite at Santa Fe Sand & Gravel to hand pick several large granite boulders to reinforce the area where the timber wall had been.  The final seating area and new lawn area were completed by the homeowner.

Here is another all concrete pool removal we completed in Highland Park, IL.

Our clients had recently purchased the home and jumped in renovating the inside.  The pool outside however, had them at a loss.  The previous homeowners had not used the pool in the last 10 years and the costs to bring it back to a usable pool were excessive.

 

 

As this large and very deep pool dominated the yard.  Our clients decided to remove the pool and restore the area back to lawn.  This gave them more usable space and a safe area for their young son to play in.

 

 

While not all towns require all parts of the pool to be removed prior to backfilling, our client opted to have all the concrete hauled out.

 

We removed the lower concrete pool deck and left the upper concrete patio in place.  Our smaller machines were able to reduce the impact on the large trees on site we were protecting. After backfilling and compacting, we finished with pulverized black dirt, grass seed and erosion control blanket.

Here is another Deerfield, IL pool removal where the owners were just not getting enough usage of the pool to justify its operating costs.

They also realized that replacing the area that the pool occupied with an open yard would go a long way to making their property more appealing when it came time to sell.

There are many reasons why one would choose to remove a pool, here are a few:

• If the pool takes up 30% or more of the backyard.
• If the pool is over 30 years old and is in need of repair
• If the pool does not have a safety gate around it.
• If the pool is made from a vinyl liner.
• If the geographic area the pool has less than 3 months of “swimming weather”
• If the pool is the only one in the neighborhood.
• If your area is currently experiencing a drought

Pool Removal – The Real Estate Value

This Deerfield, IL pool removal required us to make use of our low impact methods to ensure minimal damage to the surrounding areas and large trees on the property while breaking up the concrete structure.  We hauled all of the concrete offsite prior to backfilling with clean, compactable material.

Here you can see our recently purchased track loader in action during the final phases of the job.

While a great deal of our work is in the greater Chicago area we also have an office in the greater Denver area. If you have pool removal requirements in either of these areas then please do not hesitate to contact us for a chat about your specific needs.

 

This Longmont, CO pool removal was as a result of a client who wanted to see if we could help solve a problem they were experiencing.

Spring was approaching and the client wanted to make better use of the back yard that this pool was dominating. They had young kids and family who needed more space to play in.

Not to mention that, as you can see from the photo,  the pool had really become an eye sore and was no longer cost effective to maintain.  In addition the presence of the pool caused grading issues along property lines that would be resolved with the removal of the pool.

As with all of our inground concrete pool removals, we followed very strict guidelines with this Longmont, CO pool removal.

We pride ourselves in using low impact methods and machinery. In our quest for continuing improvement we recently purchased a  new rubber track loader this year that was used for this job. This loader allows us to even further minimize impact as well as allowing us to work through adverse conditions if need be.

Update from our client: Over the summer, our client enjoyed putting in a lot of hard work installing sod, planting a tree and a creating boulder retaining wall themselves. They now have a nice lawn to let the kids and dogs play in.

Where possible all the concrete associated with the pool removal is completely demolished and processed into 8” fracture concrete gravel similar to PGE and used as fill in the resultant hole.  Because we process the concrete associated with the pool into fill material, also called our low impact method, it reduces heavy truck loads of concrete out and then heavy truck loads of fill back in reducing trauma to your property and public roads.

We also recycle all the pool heaters plus whatever other material is recyclable.

What about OSHA?

We continually keep abreast of the latest OSHA requirements to ensure a safe working environment for both our employees and for our customers.
