Pool Removal & Backfilling
Is your old swimming pool becoming a maintenance burden or a safety concern? Whether you’re looking to reclaim your backyard for a new lawn, a garden, or a home extension, Micro Excavations provides professional pool removal and backfilling services across the Gold Coast.
Deciding to remove a pool is a big step, and doing it correctly is vital to ensure the ground remains stable and safe for future use.
Filling in Your Pool vs. Complete Removal
We offer flexible solutions depending on your long-term plans for the property and your budget.
01 Strategic Backfilling (Saving the Shell)
In some circumstances, we can decommission the pool while preserving the structural shell.
- The Process: We create adequate drainage holes in the bottom of the pool to prevent water from "floating" the shell, then backfill it with engineered fill and compact it in layers.
- The Benefit: This is often a faster, more cost-effective option. Because the shell remains intact underground, it may even be possible to recover and restore the pool at a later date if your needs change.
02 Complete Pool Removal
If you plan to build a permanent structure (like a granny flat or a deck) over the area, a complete removal is usually recommended.
- The Process: We use our specialised rock breakers and excavators to demolish the concrete or fibreglass shell and remove all debris from the site.
- The Result: The void is then filled with clean, compacted soil, leaving you with a seamless, level backyard that is ready for landscaping or construction.
