MORE TIPS ON HOW TO REPURPOSE YOUR BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL IN JACKSONVILLE
Turn Your Old Pool Into a Pond
Since a pool is designed to hold water anyway, it makes sense to just repurpose that water if you are disinclined to swim in it. You could turn your pool area into a huge water feature in your backyard, complete with a fountain, koi fish, gravel on the bottom, frogs, rock garden, lighting, and more. Think Japanese garden but on a much grander scale. With the perfect landscape features, you can enjoy your own mini wildlife preserve right in your own backyard that can provide hours of relaxation and stress relief, while offering a habitat for animals or a resting place for migratory birds.
Use as Garden or Yard Space
Many Jacksonville homeowners decide to just fill their pool with dirt and be done with it, leaving the concrete intact below. This is a great idea, but just be sure you do this correctly. You’ll need to drill holes into the bottom of the pool before you fill it so that the soil can drain correctly (think of your pool as a giant flower pot). You should hire a professional to make sure your soil is correctly compacted, and if you want to completely eliminate evidence that a backyard pool ever existed, you’ll have to haul in extra dirt to do so.
Pool Removal
Sometimes, you just want your old pool completely removed so you can have earth beneath your feet once again. ELEV8 understands, and we offer comprehensive pool removal services that includes filling the hole that is left once we’ve demoed all of the concrete and removed it. You’ll be left with a smooth surface with which you can use to put a swingset on for the kids, to play fetch with your dog, or to put a patio and watch the stars come out one by one.
