The expense associated with eliminating an in-ground swimming pool varies significantly depending on factors such as pool size, material, geographic location, and chosen method. Options range from a partial fill-in, where the pool structure remains partially intact, to a complete removal, which entails demolition and total backfilling.
Eliminating a swimming pool can increase usable yard space, reduce homeowner’s insurance premiums in some instances, and remove potential safety hazards, particularly if the pool is no longer maintained or used. Historically, pool removal was less common, but as properties change hands and families’ needs evolve, it has become a more frequently considered option. The land gained can be repurposed for landscaping, building additions, or recreational activities.
