Why Folks Remove Their Above Ground Pools

Many people choose to remove above ground pools for many reasons and not just because they stop swimming. A major reason is safety. Older pools with damaged liners, rusted frames or broken ladders can pose risks, especially to children and pets. When a pool turns into a problem or concern rather than a source of enjoyment, the best suggestion we consider is to ditch it.

Another reason to consider above ground pool removal is how you plan to use the property. You might want to plant a garden where the pool used to be or you could be thinking about installing a patio, deck, outdoor kitchen or a more functional outdoor area. Having an old pool can restrict your backyard options, but getting rid of it can free up space.

When selling homes, owners frequently choose to remove old pools first because many buyers prefer not to handle an outdated pool or they just don’t like pools at all. Removing a pool can increase the property’s value and make it more attractive. In the case of businesses and rental properties, unused pools might pose liability risks or have high maintenance costs and people don’t want that part, so getting rid of them is financially and practically wise.

Lastly, the maintenance and repair costs add up and its really expensive. Repair turns into a money pit fast, so most folks just rip it out and start fresh.

Types of Above Ground Pools We Remove

Different pools come in different shapes, sizes, and materials – and each one needs a slightly different approach to removal:

Steel Wall Pools – Steel wall pools are a popular choice for above-ground pools in the United States. They feature a sturdy steel wall paired with a vinyl liner, and are supported by either metal or resin frames. They are strong and budget-friendly – however, rust and corrosion can lead to costly repairs as time goes by.
Resin Pools – Resin pools are made with rust-resistant resin walls and frames, making them a go to choice in coastal and moist regions. They last longer than steel pools but come with a heftier price tag initial price is $1500+ to $5000+ or more. If structural parts collapse, the best option for it is to remove it. Repairing it will drain your wallet for sure.
Hybrid Pools – These pools features steel walls with resin top rails, edges and foundations. They are far more durable and rust resistant than pools made entirely of steel. But, repairs can be expensive, thats why many property owners to choose ditch it rather than maintaining it or repair it.
Inflatable / Soft Side Pools – Lightweight and temporary, inflatable and soft-side pools are constructed from vinyl or PVC. They are budget-friendly and simple to set up but are prone to getting damaged. Most are not worth fixing and usually get removed or replaced quickly.
Metal Frame Pools – These pools consist of a vinyl liner backed by a metal tube frame. Widely available in big box stores, they’re very reasonably priced and affordable but are known to struggle from frame failures and liner tears. When damage occurs, removing the pool is often less expensive than repairing it.
Semi-Inground (Above-Ground) Pools – These pools are reinforced above-ground pools that are partly buried or sunk into the ground, creating a more permanent design. However, they are more expensive to install and remove too. When they sustain structural damage, homeowners often decide to remove it than repairing it.

Knowing what type of pool you have helps us choose the right tools and methods to make sure the job goes smoothly, safely and quickly.

How Much Does Above Ground Pool Removal Cost?

The cost of removing an above ground pool depends mostly on size, material, access, decking and how much cleanup is needed. Semi inground above-ground pools are more expensive to remove. Generally the prices range from around $800+ to $2,000+ or more for basic above ground pool removal but other types like semi inground above-ground pools are more expensive to remove . If your pool has an attached deck, large pad or landscaping around it, costs can go up because theres more work involved.

Here are the most common factors that affect price or the demolition or removal:

Pool Size: The most common factor is the size, and we all know that. Bigger pools take more time and labor to remove. That’s why its more expensive.
Materials: The second factor is the materials used in constructing or included in the pool. If the pool is more sturdy and durable, the cost of removal will be higher as well.
Decking or Pads: Decking or concrete pads gives additional labor and work time, thats why it adds up on the cost too.
Ground Preparation: Costs also include filling, grading, leveling, and compacting. Different pool foundations vary in price – placing it above soil is cheaper, while burying it underground is more costly. An additional expense comes if the pool is buried below a concrete foundation.
Access: Swimming pools that is tucked behind fences or landscaping, or if its indoor can slow things down.
