You can free up space by filling a pool. The cost of filling a pool will vary depending on how big it is, what material was used, and where it is located. Before making a choice, it is important you weigh all of the options.

This can help make the area more attractive for buyers looking to buy a home. Partially filling a pool will require less material then a complete excavation. The type of your pool and the soil will determine the material that you choose. It is crucial to choose the correct backfill materials in your area.

Concrete pools will require more materials for filling. If you have a 12x24' pool and it has a 6' depth, you will need more backfill material. This can be costly so make sure you calculate the amount of backfill material your pool will need before you start.
