Before work
Starting point
The old pool shell and broad concrete apron divided the yard and showed extensive cracking. Because permanent landscaping was planned for the area, the scope required full shell removal rather than a partial fill that would leave buried concrete below grade.
On site
Work completed
The deck was saw-cut away from the surfaces that remained, then broken with compact equipment. Reinforcing steel was separated from the concrete, the shell was removed in manageable sections, and recyclable aggregate was kept out of the mixed debris stream.
Clean handoff
Result
With the shell out, clean fill was installed and compacted in stages instead of being dumped all at once. The finished area was rough-graded as one continuous yard, giving the next contractor a predictable base for the planned outdoor work.
