You save time and money on swimming pool maintenance. If you sell your house, it may increase the number of potential buyers and make your home easier to sell. You no longer have the additional hazards and liabilities that come with pool ownership. You have more yard space for other activities or landscaping opportunities. If you have young children, removing your pool eliminates any potential safety hazards associated with pool ownership. Pool removal typically involves draining the pool, drilling holes in the bottom, demolishing the top, and filling the pool with the rubble and additional dirt soil. However, above ground pool removal is less complicated, involving just draining the pool, tearing it down, and hauling it away.
