Project Overview
Gunite pools are reinforced concrete shells — the work isn’t just “break it up.” The goal is controlled demolition and then a restoration plan that produces a finished grade that drains right.

Why Gunite Pool Demolition Is Different
It’s a reinforced shell
Gunite/concrete pools are often thick and rebar-heavy. Demolition needs the right equipment and a controlled plan.
Debris volume adds up fast
Concrete, coping, and deck material can turn into a lot of tonnage quickly — especially when hardscape is tied in.
Backfill + grading is where results happen
A good removal restores the yard so it’s stable and drains correctly — not a future low spot.

Process Summary
- Scope + access plan: pool type, deck/hardscape, staging, and protection.
- Drain + prep: safe setup before demolition work begins.
- Controlled gunite demolition: break down the reinforced shell using the right equipment.
- Debris handling: remove/handle non-soil material correctly (job-specific scope + town rules matter).
- Backfill in lifts: place fill in layers to reduce settling.
- Final grading: shape the finish to shed water and blend into the yard.
- Lawn-ready finish (when included): topsoil/seed and erosion protection.
