re: How much does it cost to get rid of an in ground swimming pool?

We had it done. Maybe $1500. There was a considerable amount of concrete decking that had to be broken and pulled up. The guy broke the first three or four feet of side walls and threw it and the decking into the bottom of the pool, which he had broken up to allow for drainage. then he pulled the filter piping and put it into the hole, along with the filter. He put the pump in his truck. Then he brought in a full load of soil and finished filling the pool with maybe 2 feet of soil and leveled the mess with a box blade.

It really was a lot of work.
