Our Pool Removal Process

Step 1: Establish Site Access

We set up the best access point for machinery, often an excavator and motorised dumper, so the job runs smoothly from start to finish.

Step 2: Remove the Pool Shell

Fibreglass and lined pools come out in full. For concrete pools, we offer partial removal (breaking the base for drainage) or full removal.

Step 3: Move the Unwanted Spoil

Once the shell is out or enough concrete is broken up, we load dirt into motorised dumpers or use a skid steer to move it from front to back.

Step 4: Backfill and Compact

As soil fills the pool, we track the grade with an excavator in 200mm increments to allow for proper soil compaction.

Step 5: Pressure Wash and Tidy Up

We pressure wash where required and tidy up on the way out, leaving your space clean and ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Types of Projects Do You Handle?

    We handle pool fill-ins, site cuts, trenching, bulk earthworks, land clearing, and landscaping preparation for residential and commercial sites.

  • Do You Need Council Approval to Remove a Pool?

    In most cases, yes. Removing an in-ground pool in South Australia is classed as development work and generally requires council approval, as it affects drainage and soil fill. Deadset Digging can guide you through the requirements and help arrange approvals as part of the job.

Are You Licensed and Insured?

Yes. Deadset Digging is fully licensed and insured for all excavation and earthmoving work, with safety and compliance as top priorities.
