How we Remove a Swimming Pool

What happens here

Begin by observing the existing swimming pool and the surrounding area. The narrator explains that for vinyl-lined pools, an initial layer of soil is often pushed into the deep end to create a ramp. This ramp allows the heavier machinery to safely descend into the pool to access the concrete footings at the very bottom, which are typically the toughest part to break up.

Goal: Assess the pool structure and establish access for heavy machinery to the deep end.

Tools and materials

  • Skid-steer ASV RT-75 — Pushing dirt to create an access ramp and moving initial fill
  • Fill Soil N/A — Creating the access ramp and initial backfill
