About Grillo Pool Removal
Grillo Pool Removal specializes exclusively in in-ground swimming pool demolition, removal, and fill-ins. We’re not a contractor who “does pools sometimes.” This company was built for pool removal — and that focus shows in the quality of the result.
We document real projects so homeowners can see the process and verify the kind of finish we deliver. Here’s a quick before / during / after snapshot from a completed CT pool removal.
Pool demolition isn’t a normal excavation job. It’s heavy demolition, material handling, drainage awareness, and (often) town-specific permit/inspection requirements. When someone removes pools only occasionally, you’re more likely to see delays, messy sites, and “surprises” after the job is underway.
- Clear expectations and a controlled process
- Backfill that holds up (not a settling nightmare)
- Grading that prevents water pooling
- Documentation that helps with future resale
- The right equipment + proven demo methods
- Better site control (access, staging, cleanup)
- A finished yard that looks intentional
- Guidance on permits, inspections, and what your town expects
Grillo Pool Removal serves Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and parts of New York including Westchester and Long Island.
With 20+ years of experience and a business built specifically around pool removal, we run a clean process and deliver a result that holds up — not just a quick cover-up.
You’ll feel the difference immediately. We don’t show up and improvise — we run a controlled jobsite, communicate clearly, and finish like the details matter… because they do.
- Respect for your property: planned access and organized staging
- Clear communication: you know what’s happening and why
- Safety-first: heavy demolition handled professionally
- Drainage-aware grading: the yard should function after the pool is gone
- Real expectations on timeline, disruption, and finish
- A result that looks intentional (not “we filled a hole”)
- Permit/inspection guidance when required
- Documentation you can keep for peace of mind and resale
Most problems aren’t dramatic on day one — they show up later. That’s why choosing a specialist matters.
- Access misjudged: more handling, more disruption, delays
- Weak backfill strategy: dips, soft spots, and settling
- Bad grading: water collects where the deep end used to be
- Messy jobsite control: avoidable damage and cleanup problems
- Permit/documentation gaps: headaches when selling
- Access + staging planned before equipment arrives
- Demo method matched to pool type
- Backfill for stability (not speed alone)
- Grading for drainage and usability
- Town expectations clarified up front
- Vinyl liner pools
- Gunite / concrete pools
- Fiberglass pools
- Above-ground pool removals (upon request)
- Full pool removal
- Partial removal / fill-in (where appropriate)
- Hardscape demo when needed (patios, coping, walkways)
- Backfill, compaction focus, grading, and finish prep
