Thinking about the pool? We can help you think it through.
Maybe it sits unused most of the year, or the bills and repairs keep adding up. We are a family business, and we will come out, walk the yard with you, and tell you plainly what your options are and what they cost. If you decide to remove it, we do the work carefully and leave you ground you can use.
Pool removal
Full or partial removal, engineered backfill compacted in measured lifts, and the footprint left rough-graded and draining. Permits handled.

Drag to see it. Every pair is shot from one fixed vantage on day one and the last day, so nothing is hidden between them.
Full removal, backyard lawn
- Upkeep costs every month, used or not
- A replaster resets the same costs
- The yard back, compacted to build on
- Safer for kids and pets
Four phases. No surprises.
You get the same sequence whether the job is a backyard pool or a commercial slab. The difference is scale, not method.
Walk & estimate
On-site measurement, access assessment, soil and utility check. You get a written number, not a range over the phone.
Same week · freeDrain & demolish
Water discharged to code, shell broken down on site. Breaking it small is what keeps disposal from tripling.
Day 1-2Haul & divert
Loads sorted and tipped at certified facilities. You get the weight tickets, which is what a permit closeout needs.
Day 2-3Backfill & compact
Engineered fill in lifts, compacted and tested. This is the step a cheap bid skips and the reason yards sink years later.
Day 3-4Demolition, done on schedule.
Homeowners know us for pool removal. General contractors, project managers, and developers hire us for demolition. Structures, slabs, and selective strip-out, cleared and hauled with the tickets to prove it. Same crew, same equipment, same insistence on hitting the date we gave you.

Bay Area and Sacramento.
Job by job.
Walnut Creek to Sacramento, San Francisco down through the South Bay. If your address is on this map, we are already working near you.
A family that knows the ground.
Between us, more than thirty years of moving earth in Northern California. From the estimate and the paperwork to the operator in the machine, every part of your job has a Velasco on it.
The things that decide how a job holds up are the ones nobody sees on the last day: how the fill was compacted, what went back in the hole, which way the grade drains. We get those right because we have spent our careers seeing what happens years later when they are not.
Integrity is the standard. The scope is in writing, the quote is itemized, and the work is done the way it is supposed to be done. If you want the job done once and off your mind, we would be glad to be the people you call.
