Get your backyard back.
Done with the pool you have? Velasco gets it gone, clean demolition, honest quotes, and backfill compacted the right way so your yard stays solid for good.
How a pool removal goes.
No mystery, no runaround. Here’s the path from first call to a yard you can walk on, six clear steps, the same every time.
Free consultation
We visit, listen, and give you a clear written quote, no pressure.
Permits & locates
We pull the demolition permit and call in utility locates so it’s done by the book.
Drain & disconnect
Water is hauled off legally; gas, electric, and plumbing are safely capped.
Demolition
Concrete is broken out and the shell is removed or perforated to spec.
Backfill & compaction
Engineered fill goes in layered lifts, each one compacted so it holds.
Your reclaimed yard
We grade, clean up, and hand back level, usable ground.
A family name on every job.
We’re not a franchise or a call center. When you hire Velasco, you get the family whose name is on the truck, on site, answering the phone, and standing behind the work long after the dirt settles.
- Family-owned & operated, you deal with us directly, start to finish
- Licensed, bonded & insured in California, with permits handled for you
- We do the unseen work right, compacted backfill, not a rushed fill-and-go
- Honest, itemized quotes, no surprise charges once we break ground
- We leave it clean, debris hauled, site raked, yard ready to use
The reveal is the whole point.
Drag the slider to see a backyard come back to life. Every Velasco job is documented before, during, and after.
