Pools and tennis courts, once seen as ultimate luxuries, can become impractical over time due to costly upkeep, safety concerns, or a desire to repurpose the space. Removing these features can be a transformative decision, offering opportunities to enhance your property’s functionality, appeal, and value.
Pools Removed was started by Andrew Aksar in 2009 in the aftermath of the National recession. He originally began his hardscaping and landscaping business in 1990. Almost 20 years later with the recession, there was a shift in consumer culture. This spurred a change in Aksar’s offerings, and was the beginning of his removal of pools and tennis courts. Now, another 20 years on, he continues to offer that same service.
The decision to remove a pool or tennis court is often driven by several factors. Maintenance expenses for cleaning, repairs, can make these features less appealing. Neglected pools and courts can also pose safety risks. Additionally, unused or outdated structures take up valuable space that could be repurposed for a new project.
How does it work? The professionals handle the physical work of dismantling the structures. For pools, this involves draining the water, breaking apart the concrete or fiberglass, and removing the debris. After demolition, the site must be restored by backfilling and leveling the area to ensure it is ready for future landscaping or building projects. Your basic finish is leveling and then grading the area before grass seed or sod can be put down.
For tennis courts, special equipment is used to break apart the asphalt or concrete once the border fencing has been removed. Removal of debris, offsite, is the same. The cost of removing a pool or court ranges depending on the pool/court materials, the size, and the complete scope of the project. Most projects are completed within one to two weeks, providing a relatively quick turnaround for homeowners.
Ultimately, removing a pool or tennis court can be a practical and rewarding choice. It opens up possibilities for transforming your property into a space that better fits your needs and lifestyle. When you consider what really matters to you when creating your personal oasis that you’re investing in, you want it to be right.
