Swimming Pool Removal Perth

If the time has come to remove that old, never used pool with something new, then Active Bobcat Services can help.

Active Bobcat Services specialise in excavating and decommissioning your concrete, fibreglass or liner swimming pool. We will remove, dispose and backfill your pool to your existing garden levels, leaving your site clean and tidy and ready for your next plans.

We pride ourselves on quoting and completing the entire job. Our bobcat will arrive with a qualified operator and all equipment required to excavate and backfill the swimming pool site. We can also provide protective boards to minimise damage to your existing paving or grass.

If your Council requires a Certificate of Compaction, we can arrange for an independent qualified engineer to come out and test the site after compacting. Your council will require a Certificate of Compaction if you wish to build on the pool site.

Does removing a swimming pool increase your homes value?

Removing a pool may increase the value of your home especially if you intend to build an additional extension or a granny flat. It might increase potential buyers like families with young children who don’t want the additional cost of removing or maintaining a pool. They may prefer a larger backyard for children to play in and may consider the pool a liability. Does the pool need extensive repairs or replacement of pool equipment, pumps or solar heating? Many potential buyers don’t want the added cost of these repairs.

Pool Removal Frequently Asked Questions

My property has a pool I want to remove for a specific project (e.g., patio, garden). Can Active Bobcats advise on the most suitable removal method and ensure a foundation suitable for the new purpose?

Active Bobcats don’t just remove your pool, they help you transform your space! They’ll consult with you to understand your project goals (patio, garden, etc.) and advise on the most suitable removal method.
