Before work
Starting point
The pool occupied most of the usable yard and the surrounding deck had reached the point where repair no longer made sense. Narrow side access meant the equipment route and lawn protection had to be planned before any concrete was broken.
On site
Work completed
The pool was drained, disconnected and opened for machine access. The shell and surrounding concrete were broken in a controlled sequence, separated for disposal, and hauled out over protective access mats before clean fill was placed in compacted lifts.
Clean handoff
Result
The former pool area was brought back to a stable rough grade that sheds water away from the house. The access route was raked clean, leaving the yard ready for the owner’s landscaping plan rather than a buried maintenance problem.
