Pool Removal & Fill-In, Done Right
We drain and break the pool shell, either removing it completely or breaking holes in the bottom for drainage, then fill with clean material in compacted layers. We finish with topsoil and grading so the area drains and can be seeded.
We talk through full removal versus partial fill-in, what each means for future building on the spot, and the permit and disclosure rules that may apply.
Music City Excavation brings pool removal & fill-in to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Partial fill-in or full removal?
Partial fill-in costs less and works for yards, while full removal is better if you plan to build on the spot. We explain both.
Do I need a permit?
Usually yes. We help you with the permit process and talk through any disclosure rules at sale.
