Post-Demolition Landscaping

Removing a pool is really about what comes next. Here’s how to make the most of your reclaimed yard.

Start with the soil

Proper backfilling and compaction are the foundation of good landscaping. A well-graded site drains correctly and won’t settle unevenly — which is why site prep matters as much as the planting that follows.

Popular directions

• A lush lawn or native, drought-tolerant garden.
• A patio or deck for outdoor entertaining.
• Raised beds for vegetables and herbs.
• A play area, fire pit, or quiet retreat.

Plan for the long term

Think about drainage, sun exposure, and how you’ll actually use the space. A little planning now means a yard that stays beautiful and functional for years.
