Local Pool Removal Project in Eden Hills, SA
A recent project involved removing an old, unused fibreglass pool taking up valuable backyard space. The team carefully demolished the pool shell, backfilled and compacted the cavity for a stable foundation, and topped the area with mulch to blend with the garden—transforming a neglected pool zone into clean, usable outdoor space.
Understanding Your Pool Removal Requirements
Before starting, Deadset Digging carries out a detailed inspection to determine the specific needs of the project, taking into account the pool's size, type, location, and any site challenges, to plan a tailored, efficient solution.
How We Remove Your Pool
Our process is methodical and handled by a skilled team experienced with concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl pools. We begin by draining the pool and disconnecting services, followed by careful demolition. Once removed, we backfill and compact the area so it's safe, level, and ready for whatever comes next.
Putting Safety First in Every Pool Removal
Safety is central to every job. We follow strict procedures, including risk assessments and protective equipment, to protect our crew, your property, and everyone on site.

Getting Your Property Ready for Pool Removal
We recommend clearing the area around the pool of outdoor furniture, equipment, or debris and securing nearby features. We provide clear, personalised advice based on your site layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Best Way to Get Rid of a Swimming Pool?
Professional pool removal and backfilling is the safest, most efficient method. Depending on your goals, we offer partial or full removal—full removal clears the land completely, while partial removal and backfilling is a more budget-friendly way to reclaim yard space.
Is It Worth Getting Rid of a Swimming Pool?
Absolutely, especially if the pool is unused, outdated, or a maintenance burden. Removing a pool can lower water and electricity bills, eliminate safety and insurance risks, and even increase resale value.
Can a Swimming Pool Be Filled In?
Yes. Pool backfilling involves partially removing key structural components (like the floor and drainage) and compactly filling the cavity with clean soil and rubble—a fast, cost-effective way to decommission a pool and level the yard.
How Much Does It Cost to Fill In a Pool?
Costs vary by pool size, access, and whether full removal or partial backfill is required. On average, pool backfilling in Adelaide starts from around $6,000 to $12,000, with fixed-price quotes provided upfront.
