Full or Partial Removal — Which You Need in The Colony
The decision is not really about price. It is about what you intend to do with that ground, and the ground under The Colony is Cross Timbers sand sitting on clay, so water runs through the top layer and stops dead at the layer beneath.
Full removal
Every piece of the shell is broken out and hauled away, and the void is rebuilt in compacted lifts. Sandy ground compacts well when it is placed properly and badly when it is not. Choose full removal if there is any chance of building over that ground later.
Partial removal
We break down the upper shell, bore the base so water passes through rather than sitting on the clay layer, then fill and compact. Cheaper than full removal and right for a yard returning to grass, but it does limit future building and remains a disclosure item.
Backfill for this ground
Sandy soil compacts differently to clay, and the fill has to be placed in lifts rather than pushed in and leveled off. An older pool that has stopped being used is a recurring bill and a standing risk, which is the calculation most owners here are making.
What The Colony Yards Become Afterward
Lawn again
The commonest outcome by far: topsoil over the compacted fill and grass back across the whole footprint.
Selling with a clean yard
A level, finished yard shows better to most buyers than an ageing pool with a repair list.
An end to the bills
No chemicals, no pump running, no repair fund. For many owners that alone is the return.
Room for the kids
Families who inherited the pool with the house usually want flat, safe, usable ground instead.
Why The Colony Homeowners Take the Pool Out
Thirty-year-old pools
Built with the neighborhood, they are reaching end of life together. We remove a steady number here.
The lake next door
Lake Lewisville is right there, which makes maintaining private water harder to justify.
Sandy ground
Cross Timbers soil needs engineered fill placed in lifts and compacted properly.

The Colony Pool Removal Questions
How much does pool removal cost in The Colony?
The size and construction of the pool, whether you choose full or partial removal, and how equipment reaches the back yard all move the price. A narrow side gate on a The Colony lot genuinely changes the job. Nathan writes a fixed figure once he has seen it, and that figure is what you pay.
Do I need a permit to remove a pool in The Colony?
Yes. Pool demolition needs a permit, and how the pool is drained is regulated as well. We pull the permit and deal with the The Colony city side of it as part of the job, so it is not something you have to chase.
Should I choose full or partial removal in The Colony?
It turns on what you intend to do with that ground. Partial removal costs less and suits a yard going back to lawn. Full removal is the choice if you may ever build over the footprint, because over a partial fill you should plan on not being able to. An older pool that has stopped being used is a recurring bill and a standing risk, which is the calculation most owners here are making.
Will the ground settle afterward?
Not if the fill is engineered and compacted in lifts rather than pushed in and leveled off. Sandy soil compacts differently to clay, and the fill has to be placed in lifts rather than pushed in and leveled off. The ground under The Colony is Cross Timbers sand sitting on clay, so water runs through the top layer and stops dead at the layer beneath, and how the fill goes back is the difference between a level yard and a dish in it.
Do I have to tell a buyer the pool was there?
Yes. A removed pool is a material fact and Texas sellers disclose it. Keep the permit records and the written scope: they show a buyer inspector that the removal was done properly and backfilled to spec, which is exactly what they will ask for.
Do you remove pools near The Colony as well?
Yes. We work throughout Denton County and the surrounding area, including Lewisville, Little Elm and Frisco. Nathan comes out to the property himself for the quote, so the price accounts for your actual access rather than an assumption.
