Pool Demolition & Excavation
in Altamonte Springs, FL
Half the homes in Altamonte Springs went up before 1983, and plenty of those backyards still hold the original pool. When a shell that old comes out, the plaster, the rebar and the deck all have to go somewhere, and the ground has to be built back up solid. We break it out, haul it to the county landfill in Geneva, then backfill and compact it so the yard holds.

Pool Demolition & Excavation done right
Full pool removal or fill-in: we remove the shell, backfill with clean material, and compact so the ground is stable and usable. We also excavate for pool companies that need the hole dug before the shell goes in. Insured and owner-operated, so the people who quote your job are the people running the machines.

How it works
Getting pool demolition & excavation done in Altamonte Springs
Walk the access path
We measure the gate, the side yard and the space between trees, because in Altamonte a healthy tree in the way cannot simply come down. That walk decides which machine we bring and how the haul runs.
Confirm the permit
The Building and Fire Safety Department on Newburyport Avenue handles Altamonte permits. We confirm what your pool removal needs, file it, and book the inspections so the job never waits on paperwork.
Break, haul, backfill
We break the shell and deck, haul every load to the Seminole County Landfill in Geneva, then backfill with clean fill in lifts and compact each one so the yard does not sink later.
The Mintel Difference
Owner-operated.
Every job.
No renting equipment after the handshake. No cheap subcontracted labor. We own and run our own fleet of machines, so the people who quote your job are the people on the controls.

Pool Demolition & Excavation · Altamonte Springs
An original pool on a 1980s Altamonte lot
The Census puts the median year built in Altamonte Springs at 1983, which means a typical pool here has been in the ground for decades. Older shells were often poured heavier than owners expect, and decks were added, patched and resurfaced over the years. We plan for that weight when we price the haul. Lots around Spring Oaks, Sanlando Springs and Spring Lake Hills tend to have mature trees close to the fence line, so before anything else we look at how our equipment gets from the street to the pool. On these lots a pool removal is an access problem first and a demolition problem second. Once we are in, we break the walls and floor, load the debris on our own trucks, and bring in clean fill to replace everything that came out.
Trees and lakefront walls change the plan here
Altamonte is stricter about trees than most of Seminole County. The city wants an arbor permit for any tree, even on a home lot, and only issues one when the tree is dead, dying or threatening the property. Taking one out without that permit can cost $450 a tree plus replacements. That is why we route our machines around healthy trees instead of through them, and tell you up front if a tree sits in the only path to the backyard.
On the lakes, a pool sometimes shares the yard with a retaining wall or a boat ramp. Work on those needs a separate Waterfront Improvement Permit through Public Works, so if your job touches the shoreline we sort that out before we put you on the schedule. That keeps the city and your neighbors happy.

“We hired Mintel Land Management to demo a house and the job was completed on time and everything was done correctly, inspectors were glad to have a good contractor on the job.”
“I have used this company over a dozen times with the removal of trees and stumps in my yard. The owner has become more of a friend then just a demolition company.”
“Reliable and dependable. Straightforward pricing does great work. Will definitely use again.”
“We contacted Kyle in hopes that he would be able to remove a very large pine stump from our back yard and grade the area after removal. He was above and beyond helpful and even cleared the vacant property lines on both sides of our property! He was very professional and respectful of our property, he was on time and his prices were very reasonable for the work performed. We will definitely be using his services in the future for our driveway widening project and any other future projects. 6 stars, I highly recommend using Mintel Land Management.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Kyle came and pulled a few fallen trees out at my property and graded out another part. He came when he said he was going to as well.”
Altamonte Springs FAQ
Common questions
- My pool is original to a 1980s house. Is full removal worth it over a fill-in?
- If you plan to sell, add on, or build anything over that spot, full removal usually pays off, because the old shell is gone and the ground is compacted fill instead of broken concrete. A fill-in costs less but leaves material in the ground that a buyer or builder may ask about. We walk the yard and tell you which one fits your plans.
- There is an oak right next to my pool. Will it have to come out?
- Not if we can help it. Altamonte only permits removing trees that are dead, dying or threatening the property, and taking one down without a permit can cost $450 a tree plus replacements. We plan the machine path and the dig to stay clear of healthy roots where we can, and we tell you before the job starts if a tree is at risk.
- Where does the broken pool concrete end up?
- Every load of broken shell and deck ends up at the county landfill on Osceola Road in Geneva, the Seminole County site that accepts demolition debris. The Central Transfer Station on SR 419 does not list it. We load and haul every piece on our own trucks, so you are not left with a pile at the curb or a roll-off parked in the driveway for a week.
- What does pool demolition & excavation cost in Altamonte Springs?
- A fill-in is faster and cheaper; a full removal excavates the whole shell, backfills with clean material, and compacts it so you can build or sell over it. We do both and will tell you which fits. Every property is different, so the only honest number is one we give you after walking the site. Call 407-443-2863 for a free, no-obligation estimate in Altamonte Springs.
