Professional Pool Installation & Removal in
Franklin New Jersey
Are you dreaming of a beautiful new backyard oasis? Or perhaps you have an old, unused pool that is just taking up valuable space and costing you money? At Franklin Excavation, we handle the heavy lifting for both pool excavation and pool removal across Somerset County, NJ. We know that dealing with a swimming pool is a massive project, but our experienced team has the right equipment and skills to make the process smooth and stress-free.
Welcome to your trusted local choice for backyard transformations. Digging a hole for a new pool requires exact measurements, while removing an old pool requires safe demolition and proper dirt filling. Whether you are building a summer paradise or taking your lawn back, we are here to help you every step of the way.
Steps for Your Pool Project
- Site Evaluation and Marking: We start by inspecting your yard. We mark exactly where the digging will happen and make sure we avoid any hidden underground utility lines.
- Safe Digging and Hauling: Using our professional machinery, we carefully dig the shape for your new pool or break apart your old pool. We also haul away all the leftover dirt and concrete.
Getting the excavation right is the most important part of any new pool installation. If the hole is not dug perfectly level or if the soil is not prepped correctly, your new pool could crack or shift over time. Our skilled operators dig with precision, ensuring your pool builders have the perfect foundation to work with.
On the other hand, a pool removal (or pool fill-in) is a great way to reclaim your yard. Getting rid of an old, broken pool lowers your home insurance, removes safety hazards, and gives you space for a new lawn, patio, or garden. At Franklin Excavation, we make sure the old pool is properly crushed, filled with clean dirt, and graded so water drains safely away.
Our Pool Excavation Services
Inground Pool Digging
We dig precise holes for all types of inground pools, including fiberglass, vinyl liner, and concrete. We follow your exact blueprints so the pool fits perfectly into the ground.
Complete Pool Removal
Want the pool completely gone? We break up the concrete shell, remove all the old plumbing and metal, and haul the debris away before filling the hole with fresh, clean soil.
We then perform
yard grading and leveling after pool removal to restore proper slope and prevent future settling.
Partial Pool Fill-Ins
A partial fill-in is a budget-friendly option. We break down the top layer of the pool walls, punch holes in the bottom for drainage, and fill the rest with dirt to create a flat lawn.
Above-Ground Pool Prep
Above-ground pools need a perfectly flat base to prevent the walls from collapsing. We clear away the grass, dig out the soft topsoil, and level the ground for a safe installation.
Protecting Your Yard During the Dig
Respecting Your Landscaping
Heavy machinery can be tough on a yard. We carefully plan our driving paths to protect your driveway, trees, and existing landscaping as much as possible while we work.
Proper Yard Drainage
When we remove a pool and fill the hole, we make sure the new dirt is compacted and sloped correctly. This prevents the ground from sinking later and stops water from pooling in your yard.
For problem yards, we recommend adding
drainage solutions after inground pool removal in NJ to prevent water from pooling where the pool once sat.
