Factors Affecting Above Ground Pool Removal Pricing
There are a number of things that can affect the cost of your specific above ground pool removal.
Common factors that influence the total cost of above ground pool removal include:
- Size of the pool.
- Location and accessibility of the pool.
- Type of materials being removed (pool material, stairs, deck, fence, landscaping, etc.)
- Whether or not the pool needs to be emptied.
- Who you hire.
Generally speaking, people also have a set of stairs, some decking material, and potentially some surrounding landscaping or fencing materials to get rid of in addition to the pool.
The more material you have to get rid of, the more your total project cost will be.
Similarly, the bigger your above ground pool, the more it will cost to remove it.
If your pool is still full of water, it will be another fee to safely drain it and get it ready for removal.
Another overlooked factor that affects pool removal costs is the contractor you hire to do it.
Each contractor offers different levels of customer service and different prices, and not all contractors are created equal.
Because of this, we recommend reaching out to multiple contractors for quotes to compare them.
This will help you get a great price for your above ground pool removal and great customer service, too.

How to Find the Right Pool Removal Contractor
You may be tempted to handle an above ground pool removal yourself, but we recommend hiring a local professional to do the work.
They can likely have your pool removed in a couple of hours, haul away the debris when they're done, and leave you with a clean, freshly graded space.
We also recommend reaching out to three or more local contractors for quotes on your project.
This will help to ensure you hire the right person for your house demolition project without overpaying.
