Above Ground Pool Removal in Colorado: where we work and what we see
We serve 149 cities and towns in Colorado, from Denver, Colorado Springs and Aurora to the small towns in between, across the Front Range, the Western Slope, the San Luis Valley, the Eastern Plains and the mountain resorts.
Front Range landfills are consolidating and fees are rising, so we sort hard for metal and donation before anything is dumped. Every load goes to the right facility for the county it came from.
Hail-damaged campers, spring cleanouts after long winters, and mountain-town properties that turn over every few years.
What we handle
Above Ground Pool Removal in Colorado: what we take
Here is what above ground pool removal covers in Colorado. Each one gets the same process: look, quote, wait for your yes, then work.
- 01
Steel, resin, and inflatable pools
Steel-wall, resin, hybrid, and soft-sided or inflatable pools of any diameter.
- 02
Attached decks and ladders
Wood and composite decks, rails, gates, and ladders attached to the pool.
- 03
Pumps, filters, and heaters
Pumps, sand filters, cartridge filters, heaters, and plumbing runs.

How it works
How above ground pool removal works in Colorado
Same steps every time, whether the job is in Colorado proper or twenty minutes out. Knowing the sequence makes booking easier.
- 01
Drain
If the pool still holds water we pump it out, away from foundations and the neighbor's yard.
- 02
Dismantle
Liner cut and rolled, top rails and uprights unbolted, wall panels rolled, frame stacked. Attached decks come apart the same day.
- 03
Haul and recycle
Steel and aluminum go to scrap. Liner and resin go to the transfer station. Pumps and filters are stripped for metal.
- 04
Rake and grade
Sand base removed on request, the footprint raked flat, and any leftover hardware picked up with a magnet.
Why now
Why Colorado stops putting it off
If you are on the fence, these are the things that tend to settle it for people in Colorado.
- A dead pool is a liability with kids in the neighborhood.
- Buyers see an old pool as a project, not a feature.
- Every season it sits, the liner tears further and the water goes green.
- Hail-damaged campers, spring cleanouts after long winters, and mountain-town properties that turn over every few years.

Straight talk
What above ground pool removal does not include
The honest part, so there are no surprises:
- We remove above-ground pools only. In-ground pool demolition needs permits and heavy equipment, and we can refer a contractor.
- Concrete pads under a pool are quoted separately.

- 01
The pool the kids outgrew
It has not held clean water in three summers and the liner is torn. The yard would be bigger without it.

Selling the house
The listing agent said buyers see it as work, not a feature. It comes out before the photos.
- 03
Storm damage
A wall panel buckled, the water went everywhere, and now it is a frame with a mess inside.

New patio or shed
The footprint is the best flat spot in the yard, and it is going to something you will actually use.

Before we arrive
How to prepare for above ground pool removal in Colorado

Equipment
What above ground pool removal in Colorado takes
Most of what makes above ground pool removal go smoothly is decided before the truck leaves. This is the gear behind a Colorado job.

Multiple loads, one day

Questions
Above Ground Pool Removal in Colorado: your questions
Does the pool need to be drained first?
It helps, but we can bring a pump if it isn't. Ask about it when you book.
Do you remove the sand or base underneath?
Yes, on request. Most homeowners want the sand out so the lawn can be reseeded.
What about the deck around it?
Attached decks and platforms can be removed in the same visit.
Do you offer same-day above ground pool removal in Colorado?
Often, yes. Call early in the day for the best chance at a same-day window, and ask for the first open window if today is full. Next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for above ground pool removal in Colorado?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Colorado. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near Colorado do you cover?
All of the Colorado area, including Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora and Fort Collins. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Colorado page for the full city list.
How do I set up above ground pool removal in Colorado?
Photos are fastest. Tell us what it is, where it sits, and how soon you need it gone, and we schedule the on-site estimate.
Do I need to be home for above ground pool removal in Colorado?
Not necessarily. Many Colorado customers meet us at the start and leave, or approve by text from photos the crew sends. Someone does need to say yes before anything is loaded.
What should I do before the crew gets to Colorado?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Colorado?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Colorado actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Front Range landfills are consolidating and fees are rising, so we sort hard for metal and donation before anything is dumped.
