Pool Construction and Installation FAQs

Under ideal conditions, professional excavators complete pool excavation in four to eight hours. Attempting to do the work yourself can increase costs due to equipment rental fees, potential delays, and risks like utility damage. Hiring professionals ensures a secure and efficient process that complies with regulations and sets the stage for a successful pool installation.

Excavating a pool typically involves removing between 64 and 178 cubic yards of dirt, depending on the pool's size, depth, and shape. Unconventional shapes may require removing additional soil around the structure as well as excavating the hole where the pool will be. Work with your swimming pool builder to get an estimate for how much dirt removal your pool will need based on your specific situation.
