Above-ground pools look great the first summer. By year three or four, the liner has a slow leak, the frame is showing rust at the joints, and the pump sounds like a coffee grinder. Eventually it becomes the biggest eyesore in the backyard : a round brown patch with water nobody’s swimming in.

Taking it down yourself is a full-weekend project. Draining thousands of gallons takes hours. Disassembling a 24-foot steel frame requires two people and the right wrenches. And once everything is on the ground, you still need a truck or trailer to move it ; and somewhere that’ll actually take it.

Tucson Junk Removal handles the whole teardown in one visit. We drain or finish draining, disassemble the frame, roll up the liner, disconnect the pump and filter, and load it all onto our truck. Decking, ladders, and accessories go with it. The yard is left flat and raked, ready for sod, a patio, or a redo.

Note: we handle above-ground pools only , Intex, steel frame, resin, and all the setup that comes with them. For in-ground concrete pool demolition, you’ll need a specialty excavation contractor.

We provide above-ground pool removal throughout the Tucson metro area, including Casas Adobes, Oro Valley, Marana, and surrounding communities.

Above-Ground Pool Removal FAQ

A small Intex or inflatable is $150 to $250. A medium steel or resin frame pool runs $300 to $500. Large 24-foot-plus pools are $500 to $800. Adding decking, a pump, and accessories puts the total at $700 to $1,200.
No. In-ground pool demolition is a specialty excavation job that requires heavy equipment and permits. We handle above-ground pools only — Intex, steel frame, resin, and the full setup including decking and pumps.
Not necessarily. We coordinate with you on timing. Depending on chemical levels, pool water can go to landscaping, sewer cleanouts, or licensed drainage. Draining before we arrive can save time if you want to cut the turnaround.
We disconnect and haul those too. Pumps, sand filters, cartridge filters, heaters, and chlorinators all go with the pool. We cap off any plumbing stubs so your yard is left clean.
The grass underneath an above-ground pool is already dead or matted — that's unavoidable from months of no sun. What we leave behind is a flat, raked area ready for reseeding, sod, decking, or whatever you want to put there next.
