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

48Sort of looking at homes for sale and a few have a swimming pool that I'm not really interested in having.
How much to get rid of the pool and return to grassy back yard?
I assume you'd rip up the whole thing and not just fill up the pool with dirt. That would be true redneck. Or just turning it into a catfish pond.

on 1/25/19 at 11:37 am to East Coast BandMaybe I’m a redneck, but I like the catfish pond idea 
You could do some nice aquascaping.

on 1/25/19 at 11:37 am to East Coast BandMy 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.

on 1/25/19 at 11:38 am to East Coast BandBack 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?

Inground pools. The average cost of inground pool demolition ranges from $3,500 to $7,000 for a medium size pool with relatively easy access.

My next door neighbor paid $2,000 to fill in his pool and remove the concrete around the pool. Location MS and it took a day using skid steer, back hoe, and a dump truck.

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?

First, I just don't want a pool.
But, other reasons are upkeep time and costs.
Liability reasons.
Want more green space, not pool.
