Why Summer is the Best Time for Pool Removal in Southern Maine

July 15, 2026

Summer is when many homeowners begin rethinking how they use their outdoor spaces. 

Transform Your Backyard Before Fall

While swimming pools can be enjoyable, older or unused pools often become expensive to maintain, difficult to repair, and take up valuable yard space. If your pool has become more of a burden than a benefit, summer is the ideal time to schedule professional pool removal.


At Briggs Contracting, we provide safe and efficient pool demolition and removal throughout Southern Maine, helping homeowners create functional outdoor spaces that better fit their lifestyle.


Benefits of Removing an Old Pool

An unused swimming pool can create ongoing maintenance costs while limiting the possibilities for your property. Removing it can provide several long-term benefits, including:

  • More usable yard space
  • Lower maintenance expenses
  • Improved safety for children and pets
  • Increased curb appeal
  • Better property value for future buyers

Many homeowners choose to replace an old pool with a patio, lawn, fire pit, garden, or outdoor entertaining area.


Professional Pool Demolition Matters

Pool removal involves much more than simply breaking up concrete. Proper demolition requires heavy equipment, safe disposal of materials, grading, and preparing the site for future landscaping or construction.


Briggs Contracting handles every phase of the project, including debris removal and proper site restoration. Our experienced team ensures the work is completed efficiently while minimizing disruption to your property.


Serving Homeowners Throughout Southern Maine

Our team provides pool removal and demolition services throughout Portland, Saco, Biddeford, Scarborough, Kennebunk, Wells, Falmouth, Gorham, Windham, and surrounding York and Cumberland County communities.
