What happens here
If your pool currently has a concrete deck, the first physical step is to demolish and remove it. This is a labor-intensive process that requires heavy tools. Use a jackhammer to break up the concrete into manageable pieces. A sledgehammer can also be used for smaller sections or to break larger chunks. Carefully pry up the concrete pieces using a pry bar. Load the broken concrete into a wheelbarrow and transport it to a designated disposal area or skip.
Goal: Remove all existing concrete decking around the pool
