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

About $350.00 obviously

All you have to do is bust the bottom out and fill it with dirt

No reason not to just knock down the pool deck and first foot or so of the concrete/gunnite siding and dump into the leftover pool and fill it in.

My neighbor just knocked the concrete decking into the pool and filled it up with dirt, don't even know it was there. It was a little redneck and I do live in LP but it works.

Back to a grassy land? I'd remove the top 3 feet of concrete (root bearing zone), fill the pool with structural fill dirt for stability in case something is built on it one day, topsoil the top foot, then seed or sod. Just depends on how many yards of fill dirt and topsoil you need, and where you get it from. It would be nice if you had enough room that tandem dump trucks can back right up to the pool, tilt the load up and drop the fill dirt right in it in a matter of seconds, then drive off.

You'll also want to compact the backfilled pool before putting the topsoil down, but no need to compact the topsoil.

so it wouldn't be as redneck if he paid a contractor a few grand to do the same thing?

I'd put a nice hole in the deep end as well,l, for drainage

If you want to sell the house again, you could just deck over it. Saw one that was really well done recently

Why do you want to get rid of it? Too lazy?

Have a family member who turned his into a pond. Stocked it with bluegill a few times but they never took. Has a few koi in it now
