Dernancourt, SA—Pool Removal and Retaining Wall Project

This project shows how Deadset Digging can do more than remove a pool—reshaping a whole backyard in one visit. The existing in-ground pool had started to crack and was holding stagnant water, so rather than a full dig-out, the team carried out a cost-effective partial removal.

What the Job Involved

• Partially removed the old, cracked pool shell
• Backfilled with soil compacted in 200mm layers for a stable, long-lasting base
• Built a new charcoal block retaining wall across the yard
• Terraced the space into separate upper and lower areas, ready for a new deck and lawn
  

By combining pool removal with retaining wall work, the team left the homeowner with a tidy, level backyard ready for their next project.

Flagstaff Hill, SA — Pool Infill Project

This job demonstrates the team's ability to reach even the most difficult backyards. The homeowner had a disused, algae-filled pool on an elevated, terraced section of the block with no direct machinery access—the only way in was up a retaining wall and four flights of stairs.

How the Team Handled It

• Drained and cleared out the neglected pool
• Carried every load to fill up the retaining wall and stairs using motorized dumpers
• Backfilled the pool and compacted the soil in layers for a solid base
• Levelled the area, ready for the homeowner's next stage
  

The result is a flat, stable, usable space where an eyesore used to be, with surrounding gardens, paving, and terracing left undamaged.

Morphett Vale, SA — Pool Infill Project

This project is a clear example of how smooth a pool removal can be with good site access. The homeowners had an older rectangular in-ground fibreglass pool surrounded by a paved entertaining area, pergola, and established gardens and were ready to reclaim the space for lawn.

How the Job Was Completed

• Safely drained the pool and removed the fencing
• Removed the fiberglass shell and backfilled the cavity
• Compacted the soil in layers for a stable, long-lasting finish
• Levelled the area flush with the surrounding yard, ready for turf
  

The team worked carefully around existing paving, the pergola, and garden beds, leaving a flat, usable backyard ready for landscaping.
