Are you considering removing your swimming pool but concerned about the environmental impact? Traditional pool removal can be messy, costly, and harmful to the planet. Fortunately, there’s a better way. Freedom Decks offers an innovative, environmentally friendly alternative that transforms your unused pool into a safe, attractive deck space—without demolition.
In this article, we’ll break down the environmental concerns of traditional pool removal and explain how Freedom Decks provides a sustainable, low-impact solution for repurposing your pool.
Pool demolition creates massive amounts of waste. Broken concrete, fiberglass, and other materials often end up in landfills, contributing to long-term environmental degradation.
Excavators, jackhammers, and debris haulers all use fuel-intensive machinery, driving up emissions and energy costs. A typical pool removal involves several days of heavy equipment usage.
Traditional removal disrupts your yard’s natural ecosystem. The digging and hauling damage topsoil, root systems, and any nearby landscaping or habitat for birds and insects.
Before demolition, thousands of gallons of pool water must be drained—usually sent straight to storm drains. It’s a waste of a precious resource and can carry chemicals that affect local water quality.
Rather than breaking up and removing your pool, Freedom Decks repurposes it. Our system builds a semi-permanent, walkable deck inside your existing pool, creating a safe and stylish space—without the environmental downsides.
Because we don’t demolish the pool, there’s no concrete or material to dump. We reuse your pool’s structure, drastically reducing landfill impact.
Our installation process uses minimal heavy equipment and is far less energy-intensive than excavation-based methods.
No digging. No soil upheaval. Our approach keeps your backyard’s existing ecosystem intact—from plant roots to garden edges.
In many cases, there’s no need to drain the pool. This avoids wasting thousands of gallons and helps conserve one of Arizona’s most valuable resources.
Why pay for demolition, dirt fill, and new landscaping? Our solution typically costs less and delivers more usable space with long-term value.
Freedom Decks can usually complete your pool-to-deck transformation in just a few days, compared to weeks for demolition and renovation.
Use your new deck for anything—outdoor dining, sunbathing, gardening, or creating a safer play space for children and pets.
Unlike permanent removal, our system lets you keep your options open. If you want to return to a traditional pool someday, your original structure remains intact.
We offer multiple materials, finishes, and configurations to match your landscape. Explore our custom options to see what’s possible.
