Matthew Rembish What to do with an In-Ground Pool
8 January 2018 | 10 replies
But here's a rough idea of the basic steps involved and what it cost when I did it: STEPS:~ Drain the pool~ Remove pool equipment & cap off water lines~ Remove/cap off any unused electrical~ Knock down the edges around the pool and make holes in the bottom of the pool for drainage ~ Fill pool with "clean fill" material (i.e. soil, gravel, rock, sand, etc)~ Tamp the fill material as you put it in to compact it and reduce the chance of it settling over time once it's all fullCOSTS: (we did the labor ourselves so this is just for the material)~ $450 to buy a jackhammer to knock down the edges around the pool and also to make the holes in the bottom (we could have rented a jackhammer for cheaper but this way we own one and can use it on future jobs)~ $1600 for the fill dirt (it was a lot of dirt!)
