Our Pool Fill-In Services in Mesa
Complete Pool Removal
Complete pool removal means removing your entire pool structure, not just filling it in. Our team breaks down and removes all the pool materials—concrete, steel bars, tiles, and everything else. We then fill the space with fresh soil and gravel, carefully packing it to prevent any future sinking.
This method costs more than partial removal but offers key benefits. Your yard will be more stable since no old pool is buried underneath, and you’ll have more freedom to use the space[4]. While you typically can’t build living spaces in the filled area, you can add sheds, plant trees, install concrete paths, or create beautiful landscaping.
The process usually takes 4-5 days to complete, and we handle everything from permits to final grading. When we’re done, your yard will look like it never had a pool.
Partial Pool Fill-In
Partial pool fill-in is the most popular and budget-friendly way to remove your pool. Our team starts by drilling holes in the pool’s bottom for proper drainage. Then, we break down the top 18-36 inches of the pool walls and carefully place this broken material in the pool’s bottom.
We then fill the pool with gravel and clean dirt, compacting each layer properly to prevent future sinking. Finally, we add a layer of quality topsoil so you can grow grass or add landscaping.
While this method takes just 2-3 days and costs less than complete removal, there are some things to consider. You won’t be able to build structures like room additions on this spot, but you can still add gardens, trees, or a shed. You’ll also need to tell future buyers about the filled-in pool if you ever sell your home.
Permit Management
Getting permits for pool fill-in isn’t just paperwork – it’s a crucial part of our service at Lazer Companies. We handle the entire permit process with your city, whether Phoenix, Mesa, or anywhere else in Maricopa County.
We start by submitting all the required documents, including property surveys and detailed plans showing how we’ll demo & fill in your pool.
Each city has different rules, but we know them all and ensure everything is done properly. Depending on your city, the permit process usually takes several days to a few weeks.
While permits might cost anywhere from $0 to several hundred, they’re necessary. Proper permits protect you when selling your home and ensure the work meets all local safety standards.
Plus, if you ever want to build anything in your yard later, having documentation of a properly permitted pool fill-in can be super important.
